Reacting to the picture of President Muhammad Buhari that emerged on the social media last week, former Minister of Education and a presidential candidate in the last election, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesiri said that for the handlers of the president to find the picture which she described as “Fiddling-Nero-type-picture” worthy of public consumption, they have taken “Incompetence to a stratospheric realm.”
Writing via her twitter handle, Mrs Ezekwesiri, also known as madam due process also condemned the arrest and detention of Omoyele Sowore insisting that the issues he raised “are never going away until addressed.”
Her tweets;
That a Presidency at AsoRock and their allies found this unflattering “Fiddling-Nero-type-picture” of the Nigeria President worthy of public view really does take their celebration of deadly Incompetence to a stratospheric realm.
But then, it really is Governance of tooth-picking.

Nigeria and Nigerians shall surely survive a warped political culture that emboldens and rewards Incompetence.
Omoyele Sowore is unconstitutionally and unlawfully detained for calling out the deadly incompetence.
Not even the Judiciary is spared this spread of deadly incompetence.
Here’s the thing.
This level of Incompetence is too costly and unsustainable.
Let @AsoRock and its crew continue to dwell in their Parallel Universe.
The Real World is where our citizens live.
@YeleSowore has raised issues that are never going away until addressed.
Let their coterie of genuflecting sycophants order more toothpicks for @NGRPresident @MBuhari to idle away in that refuse-bin defaced room of the @AsoRock .
The issues @YeleSowore boldly protested are true words.
You may detain him but those words can never be detained.
#RevolutionNow can never be detained.
It is an “Idea whose Time shall Come”.
It will grow just like a mustard seed does.
For Citizens to dare to overthrow entrenched mediocrity served them as their National Value is the most Patriotic Act that Nigerians will yet achieve.
@YeleSowore said #RevolutionNow and began to publicly mobilize his fellow Citizens to Demand for a New Social Contract.
A terribly Incompetent government became instantly jittery and repressed his Constitutional freedoms.
Is this is not a sign of how Powerful Citizens are?
It is painful that @YeleSowore bears the brunt of the collective dissatisfaction of the Citizens of Nigerians toward a grossly incompetent and intolerant @AsoRock .
We must thank him for once again reminding us that:
The Power of the People is greater than the People in Power!
When the Citizens of Nigeria are ready, neither @YeleSowore nor anyone else need publicly mobilize them and be accused of “wanting to overthrow a government”.
The Citizens shall on their own rid themselves of a trenchantly incompetent and wicked Political Class.
It’ll happen.
