Demolition without provision of accommodation for the victim is not a civilized form of administration. It cannot be expected of Mr. President. Provision of permanent accommodation, or at least temporal, for the people affected comes first in a responsible deliberation even before the official announcement is made.
Not to make announcement at all is doubtful, yet if no shelter is provided for the victim, that can be a crime against the masses -say public abuse by the govt. It cannot be expected of GEJ in particular for being an elected, educated civilian president of Nigeria. Can this be true when GEJ always take good time for articulation b4 reaching decision in most cases???Very bad if this is true.
Development is not extinction of the poor masses, not annihilation nor extermination. It 's expected that a leader like GEJ with PHD should be able to apply, enforce civility and tact in executing any given project as this. It is an act of irresponsibility on the part of govt, if the welfare of the affected public were not put into consideration, and properly concluded b4 making any move toward the given project, which warranted destruction of shelters. GEJ must be running with bad advisers who are designing his down fall pragmatically, or he don't have time to discern essential matters ahead of time.
Whatever project a govt might be running, public welfare and management is always a priority, and emphatically sensitive. It can easily attract negative reaction if taken without caution just like in this case. Am in support of GEJ presidency but i will never support any stupid administration by whoever. Must he follow the old pattern of pinching public feeling even where it's not necessary and still accuse them of same stubbornness which is not a news.
It is better to do the right thing right than to start looking for old teacher to teach a wise man how to wash mouth in the morning.
What shall govt expect after destabilizing this people in a country where there is no hope of job. So many ways of handling critical issues but unfortunate that Nigerian govt must ply the same old road. Nigerian masses deserve some respect and care.BETTER BE CAUTIOUS THAN THAN CRITICAL AGAINST PEOPLES COMMENT ON ANY WRONG ACT BY WHOEVER. VERY BAD.
