We
are disappointed with those that voted, canvassed for or aided General
Muhammadu Buhari’s emergence as the president of this country. Yes, US
and Britain supported him because they prefer a pawn, as a matter of
fact, a man without any clue of the game theory. Even Abacha understood
better, God bless his soul, because Buhari has made him a saint.
Nigerians were better off, in spite the numerous sanctions and embargoes
placed on Nigeria, during Abacha’s era.
All of a sudden, in what appears to be a
spell on some of us, we lost every sense of our past history. A man who
in his name, some innocent people were brutally killed including youth
corpers, when he lost the presidential election of 2011. Maybe someone
should show me a video clip of him visiting the deceased families.
The blood of those innocent people that
were brutally slaughtered are probably not happy with the rest of us,
especially the Buharists.
Even former President Goodluck
Jonathan is not exempted for not safeguarding the interest of all of us.
We forgot to honour the dead and buried them in mass graves to hide the
fact of their brutal murder. Flashback to the corper that was crying on
the phone with her parents in a Bauchi State Police Station while she
was being brutally murdered.
General Buhari left power in 1985
through a coup against his incompetent government and, since then, the
man retired to his Daura Village in Katsina State. He was never seen in
any seminar, convention or workshop where issues concerning governance
were discussed. No wonder he appointed only those he ate tuwo and drank
fura and nunu with for years. Nepotism, segregation and other
undemocratic vices are playing out in a supposedly democracy.
However, one of his most reported
movements across the region, heading towards the South West was only
when he led the Miyetti Allah (the Fulani Herdsmen umbrella
organisation) as one of the patrons to protest the killing of Fulani
herdsmen in Oyo State. And apart from his commitment towards the welfare
and growth of Islam and his concern for his Hausa Fulani political
hegemony in Nigeria, nobody alive can point out Buhari’s nationalistic
activities since he was chased out of power in August 1985.
Yet, we elected him president.
This is a man in charge of all us. With
him as the president, we are now officially worse than those living
anywhere in the World. Before it was okay to say suffering and smiling
but now, Nigerians are suffering and dying without smiling.
Lastly, if you are still supporting Buhari, may your life be as depressed as Nigeria.
Join Team Restructure Nigeria. We must restructure Nigeria so as to get the best from all the regions.
Then Nigeria as an entity will be great, for once.
