Bukhari urges 'sovereign president' who can 'regain KSA confidence'
Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid Bukhari on Tuesday called for the election of a “sovereign” president in Lebanon.
“The Saudi-Lebanese relations would improve after the formation of a new government and the election of a sovereign president who would regain the confidence of Saudi Arabia and the countries concerned with the Lebanese file,” Bukhari said during a visit to the Bekaa.
Sovereign president alone is not the needed cure for the damage Aoun and political mafia inflicted on Lebanon and its institutions. What is needed is sovereign plus reformist. That is why I again call for this plausible scenario for the most qualified person to assume the presidency. That person is Carlos Ghosn.
Why Carlos Ghosn should be Lebanon’s next president?
1. Lebanon has the human, educational and entrepreneurial potential of becoming the region’s next Singapore.
2. Political risks by Hizbollah (Iran’s foreign legion) and its incompetent/criminal useful idiots has destroyed Lebanon’s capability to remain center of regional business, attract investment, incubate innovative businesses, provide space for talent and long-term investments
3. Ghosn has proven history of identifying points of strength, restructure an entire management team, building an effective coherent team, eliminate dead weight, compete and win in most competitive industry, and innovate (Leaf).
4. He has the skills to set Lebanon on right track: clean house, Neutrality & no arms outside army, federalism, restructure public agencies, innovate (electrify transportation, tunnels, mini-silicon valleys, targeted high education, etc), and a bridge with diaspora that is essential to resurrect the Lebanon!
A plausible scenario for next president with Saudi Help:
1. LUCID has technical advantage over Tesla. May become one of most valuable car companies in the world. At one time was worth $70 billion.
2. While current CEO Peter Rawlinson is an amazing engineer with experience from Tesla model S & Greek-Australian Andrew Liveris (Chairman) has unique experience from DOW & Others, they managed to create a wonderful car but failed at production putting Lucid future at risk even bankruptcy.
3. Considering Saudi is largest shareholder, they should replace top post with Carlos Ghosn as production is key and Ghosn connections and skills are irreplaceable combined with Saudi exerting influence to solve supply issues.
4. Saudi can clear Ghosn records with Japan & France (pay judgement) and Ghosn free to save LUCID a $70 billion company from bankruptcy.
5. Ghosn after ending all legal issues can be Lebanon's next president to solve the inevitable deadlock that will last a while!
This is revolutionary news to be buried like this: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia establishing an executive presidency, putting Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman in a purely ceremonial role!
