Plateau Killings: US Based Reporter Compares Obama To President Buhari (Photos)
A Nigerian journalist based in the
United States has berated
president Muhammadu Buhari
following his ‘attitude’ to the
killings of over 100 people
recently in Plateau state.
The reporter identified as Joi John
revealed she saw the humane side
of president Barack Obama after
she was a victim of the Hurricane
Sandy (referred to as Superstorm
Sandy) said to be the deadliest
and most destructive hurricane of
the 2012 Atlantic hurricane
season.
She shared her thoughts via her
Facebook page.

Our African leaders give the
impression they want to emulate
governance in the western world
but when we need them to take a
stand, they fumble. These
random killings in Nigeria have
gone on for too long and I find it
disturbing that the Buhari
administration seems to be
handling the matter with kid
gloves. The approach and
response of a leader in time of a
disaster or security crisis says a
lot.
Let me take you down memory
lane to August 2005 when
Hurricane Katrina struck the United
States. Former President George
W. Bush was heavily criticized for
his delayed visit to the Gulf Coast.
He was on vacation at the time
and the media roasted him for
isolating himself. When he
eventually visited, he muted all his
critics with the empathy he
showed the victims.
In 2012 when Superstorm Sandy
hit New Jersey, I was a victim of
that disaster. It was the deadliest
and most destructive hurricane of
the Atlantic hurricane season.
That tragedy was a defining
moment for the Obama
administration. We saw the
humane side of Barack! He was
swift to board the Marine One.
Television cameras captured him
flying over the Jersey shore with
Gov.Chris Christie to obtain a first
hand insight to the devastation. It
didn’t end there. When Obama
met with the victims on ground,
there were no hidden emotions.
These two instances may not be
the exact scenario we have in
Nigeria but a tragedy is a
TRAGEDY! President Muhammadu
Buhari’s disposition to these
herdsmen killings has been
nothing to write home about. It is
highly insensitive to show up in a
place of mourning with fanfare. I
would want to see President
Muhammadu Buhari roll up his
sleeves and go out there to
interact with these victims. Let the
people see the humane side of
your leadership. Reassure them of
the government’s commitment to
combat this issue and mean what
you say!!
Helpless citizens are being
massacred frequently yet no
crocodile dance, no lion dance …
nothing. What we keep getting is
Press releases upandan. How long
are we going to continue like this?
This matter must be tackled
ruthlessly before things get out of
hand across the country. ▪️ Joi
