Will Buhari re-introduce WAI?

As Head of State in 1983 General (now President) Muhammadu Buhari introduced the popular war Against Indiscipline (WAI); it remained one of the remarkable achievements of that era and, to me, one of the best policies of the government so far.
I remember with nostalgia, then as a young lad in primary five, during the period under review that WAI gained grounds into the nooks and crannies of this country to the extent that you dare not do anything contrary to the law. In the hay days of WAI, you hardly see people throwing dirt anyhow; common maize chaff you think twice before disposing them to where they rightly belong, irrespective of whether there is WAI brigade or not.
 I also remember vividly, monthly environmental sanitation was made possible, with restriction of movement of persons and vehicles, to ensure compliance. The laws of the land took its cause and people were confined to the laws without being compelled to do so.
 It is unfortunate that successive governments jettisoned that lofty policy to the detriment of the good image it would have given this great nation; the most popular black nation in the world.
 With President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) in the helm of affairs, will he re-introduce WAI, to bring back the desired good image of the country? Will PMB re-introduce WAI, to help him fight corruption and indiscipline that has eaten deep into the fabrics of the country?
 When I travelled to Israel in 2011 and Ghana in 2013, I wept for my country due to the singular fact that discipline is the order of the day, with all the systems working for the benefit of the citizens of these countries. I noticed with envy the Israelites and Ghanians, were going about their daily activities with strict compliance to law and order to keep their countries moving.
 Now that Nigeria is very fortunate to have the desired messiah as its president, there is the need to call on PMB to re-introduce WAI to put the country on the right track of development, to favourably compete with other nations of the world.
PMB needs to re-introduce WAI for our systems to work to reclaim our lost glory.
 Nigerians must wake up with one voice to rebuke those raising their voices against the anti-corruption crusade of the present government aimed at bringing sanity to our system. All hands must be on deck to support this lofty idea, to clear the mess, image and the name of our dear country before the international community.
