One year-plus after the emergence of the military General, Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria's President who is running a para-military democracy in his supposed "democratic government" after dictatorship, a 360 leadership;
it has become conspicuous that there was no
readiness, clue and intellectual preparedness for taking up the presidential responsibility of a Nation as large as Nigeria, but rather an out-defeat of his expectations.
Objectively, it can never be aborted that President Buhari did not "Expect" to be President of Nigeria in the recent 2015 presidential election but planned to induce chaos, ethnic division and religious wars which banged him into his great confusion, "The Confusion of a General" that seem to be the Woes befalling Nigeria in these present days as PMB's plans over the presidential election results in 2015 were all averted by Goodluck Jonathan's concession. To this, he (PMB) also confessed giving a confirmation as opined here stating that "He was shocked that GEJ called him to concede defeat", which was far from his preparedness.
Goodluck Jonathan's ability to concede defeat (that conscious Nigerians know he didn't fail) was the Greatest "CHANGE" that ever happened to Nigeria and not the "change" All Progressive Congress (APC) talked about during their campaigns in 2015 which has now metamorphosed into despair, agony, felony, homicides, regrets and retrogression. Well "Change" is the only word that changes so APC's change has factually changed.
Perhaps, the Changes aggravated the timely evolutionary processes dawning on Nigeria presently.
Bayelsa, the home state of Former President Goodluck Jonathan was one of the first states visited by President Muhammadu Buhari during his campaigns were he experienced one of the highest hospitality; from a state in which you were an opposition and a rival to, and will always serve as an opposition when he emerges president. All strategies and schedules were borne out of plans to attack, destroy and cause mayhem on Jonathan's convoy/campaign train when it gets to his territory. The ordinary Nigerian may not have thought about this or kept records of all these but they are always there to reckon on. Every step was dog out of PMB's aspired legacies of becoming a Northern and Islamic legend to his believers/Northern elites that he co-masterminded the disgovernment of GEJ's administration and the actualization of some Islamic visions.
To PMB's greatest surprise; the perceived foolish Southern President by the Northerners conceded defeat and his (questionable) victory now seems like a Punishment to him (PMB).
The greatest punishment is the assignment you never expected or had no idea about, it leaves you to drown; being a president is not same as going to the mosque for prayers but bearing the problems of a multi-national nation like Nigeria and eliciting legitimate-diplomatic solutions. But then, there is no clue nor readiness to face such challenges, not even an academic competence was anywhere proved.
Resultantly, it was evidenced by the UK Nigerian Governance Watch ranking President Muhammadu Buhari as the most Incompetent, Clueless, Unserious and Brainless President in Africa; what can be described as a National disfigurement and humiliation.
Today, the Giants of Africa have become the Dwarfs in Africa. Nigeria is in an economic and national degradation, political coups and counter political felonies, massive hardship, injustice and regional secessional agitations.
Where is the Nation, Nigeria?
I will love to indulge all present Nigerians that since PMBuhari did not expect to be President, Nigerians should not expect fortunes from his administration. His campaign promises are "All Promises Cancelled (APC)" and concealed ideas that all those who listened and followed him do not even know about.
Hope for the Hopeless!
