      Humn, PMB is somehow disconnected with the populace and their views and comments. He is an highly reactive leader and often never proactive in his actions and decisions. Even in his reactive attitudes, he often reacts to issues rather belatedly ,when the milk is spilled or the eggs are broken. “Dem talk am and himsef confirm am say, him be “Baba Go slow.” The President’s political appointees should have long resigned before now, in a clime with good proactive leader. God help Naija .
