Has Jonathan Really Handed Over To Buhari by X21: 5:48pm On Dec 07, 2015 |
Question from an old woman who resides in Kastina to his son Goodluck Jonathan is still president. Scratch that. Has he handed over power to Muhammadu Buhari? This is not amnesia but the synopsis of a text message (in Hausa) that has been going round among members of the Northern elite in the last one week. It is from an elderly woman in Katsina still in shock that in the last 6 months of hardship, skyrocketing food prices, unpaid salaries, fuel queues and suicide attacks, the ordained “Moses” of “Change” from her home town has been in the saddle. “Wata tsohuwa taji matsin rayuwa, kuma sai taji ance bom ya tashi acan da can, ga wahalar mai, Abinci ya na neman gagarar talaka, malamai na kukan ba albashi, don haka yaran ma sai dai suje makaranta suyi wa sa su dawo. “Sai ta kirawo babban danta (Auwalu) tace, nasan baza kamin karya ba, Auwalu ka fadamin tsakaninka da Allah, Wai Jonathan ya ba Buhari mulkinna kuwa?” The foregoing text message narrates the story of the old woman when she summoned her first son, Auwalu, and said “I know you would not lie to me, Auwalu, so answer me truthfully. Has Jonathan handed over the government to Buhari, or is he still holding on to it?” For the old woman, the symptoms of the promised “change” are yet to be felt, hence her disappointment in finding out that Jonathan had handed over to Buhari in the last 6 months of unprecedented sufferings. She crucified Jonathan for the litany of Nigeria’s problems and she embraced “change” as the best antidote, so now that Buhari come into power, the problem should have been nipped by now, 6 months into power isn’t it? She must have lost all sense of hope when Auwalu confirmed that Baba Buhari having come into power has lost touch with the masses. Hmm, it must be very painful for the old woman. This reminds me of Professor Sheldon Wolin, the Harvard Professor, when he announced that elections can easily be an illusion after an era of change is ushered in. He said democracy can be what he termed “inverted totalitarianism” in which a powerful few or cabal lose touch with the masses and still use the concept of popular sovereignty to hold on to the reins of power. The Naira is in free fall, manufacturers have downsized their labour force, leading to high levels unemployment, the CBN chief once warned we are on the cusp of recession and recent reports in the international media about the economy of our country are, to put it mildly, not flattering. Blame Buhari’s tacit economic direction. Suicide attacks have refused to plummet; we are all waiting for the Almighty December deadline too. Fuel queues have refused to disappear and power supply has dipped. What happed to body language? Some say these problems were not created by this administration, but fail to remember that Buhari promised to fix them once elected. It is therefore not unreasonable to expect that he would act with a sense of urgency. The old woman has called for courage from Buhari to rise above his illusions to overcome the problem of the day. Over to you, Baba Buhari. http://www.post-nigeria.com/has-jonathan-really-handed-over-to-buhari-by-ahmad-sanni/ |

They were preparing for WAR but suddenly God intervene as gave them what they never thought they could have. By so doing, God graciously averted what could have been the worst humanitarian crisis since the world began. And then God used that to expose their lies. The whole world will be shocked when hidden things are revealed someday. 5 Likes |

All this noise about APC being a scam is for the gullible. Nigeria and Nigerians would have been worse off if they did not kick pertain out PDP. I can remember a certain Finance minister borrowing to pay workers salary earlier this year. And in the words of Ahmed Joda - The country would have collapsed if the previous administration had continued. That we are still crawling shows Buhari is able by the grace of God to pull this country out of the pit the PDP has thrown her. 1 Like |
