I extend to President Muhammadu Buhari, my warmest sympathies on his sick bed. It is a measure of the fragility of our democracy that an elected president insists on hiding his frailty from the people who are compelled to pay for his treatment abroad. There is no hiding place in the constitution.

Nonetheless, President Buhari is scheduled to return to Nigeria tomorrow. He will be welcomed with at least one Lagos street protest that the police are trying to muzzle. That would be another self-inflicted injury, and I urge Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to tell them to back off and go pursue Lagos’ many criminals.

I reiterate that it is a shame and an embarrassment that despite Mr. Buhari’s promises and posturing for many years, he sees no irony in running off to the United Kingdom for his medical needs, leaving behind the nation’s most expensive (and presumably best-equipped) publicly-funded clinic in the presidential palace.
This fact underlines a broader reality. Which is that Buhari’s much-heralded leadership has become a farce, and his ability to make a positive impact on Nigeria, a hoax.

I was one of those who pushed for his presidency. At one level was the mistaken confidence that his age-old claim to being the man best-prepared to stop Nigeria’s slide into oblivion was true. There was no way to tell for certain he could deliver, but it was a strong and persuasive message: give me control and I will take Nigeria back from her army of leeches, shake them vigorously until there is none left of the blood they sucked.

His catchy slogan, just 24 months ago, was: “If we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.”

Buhari experts dey yarn say....

Hmmm

Issoright.

PMB is a cunning hypocrite.

Corruption didn't defeat Buhorror. Rather its just a mentalilty and tribalistic flaw. Did you hear his wife complaining that she doesn't even know the people in his inner circles? Do you think if this man surrounded himself with the same smart and intelligent group who got him into power you think it won't be a better and more vibrant Nigeria? He's pushed Tinubu away. Atiku is now an opposition. Even he was supposed to work with GEJ and not turn him to an enemy. Buhari has alienated everyone who campaigned and worked for his election. And the greatest casualties are the masses suffering from the outcome of his madonomics.
