The Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has spent two years governing the state but with a questionable system of running the activities by having fewer people attend to his office as governor.
From an authorized idea gathered from the social monitoring of the people’s basic livelihood, there is an immediate need to draw the attention of the governor to constitutionally consider his governorship role, and save an outgrowing state from facing social and economic shrinkage.
Undoubtedly, Buni has been working in all sectors and trying to recover most of the local health and education sectors through restructuring them.
However, there is an inexplicable challenge in the governor’s flight without handling the roles of carrying out services to his deputy governor, as a close inmate to look after the state whenever the governor is away for national assignments.
When the governor is absent, all projects that required an important signature, or any other monitoring report, remain unfinished, and this may continue to cause the state a serious downfall in all aspects.
The people of Yobe state are being hit by the governor’s absenteeism through social and economic incitement, which transcends the situation of the people to an inferior standard. Such an awkward situation corrupts the hope built by people that the governor can be a game-changer and come to their rescue, but seemingly unattended acts are continuously becoming very harsh.
For instance, the part of education reformation and low revenue generation that can help the state stand firm in maintaining standard economic value is another factor against the governor’s absenteeism and how people suffer around the state.
Moreover, the appointment of Governor Buni as the Chairman Care-Taker of the Extraordinary Conventional Committee brings more harm than good to the people of Yobe State —as they continue to face numerous challenges of missing democratic opportunities, and some other people running with the government keep digging a deep hole of mismanagement by using the possibility of Buni’s absenteeism.
Governor Buni should have to step down from his current national party and stay in the state to meet the demands of his people, or else leave the office as a governor in the upcoming 2023 general election.
Therefore, Governor Buni needs to make a choice and free the state and its people from undergoing such a situation of economic destruction. His presence as a governor is very important to save his people and the state at large.
