So Far, Buhari Looks Like A “Dogo Yaro” Rather Than A Very Smart and Proactive Leader…But That Could Change By Dr. Wumi Akintide

You can't accept a vocation with a lifespan of 4 years and begin acting as though you will be there forever. Numerous more concur with my appraisal than the individuals who oppose this idea. I reach that determination from the criticism I get consistently from the fanatics of this section. The times of pioneers like Mugabe is a plague we can no more endure.


A couple believe that I am bouncing the firearm too rapidly and racing to judge Buhari too early. A couple have said I am by and large too hard on the 72 year old man that Ayo Fayose has contrasted with his old mother who now wears diapers to get around. I'd would rather not see the forecasts of Fayose take place on Buhari.


I am not an aficionado of Fayose, but rather I have learnt to never reject anything he says with a flood of the hand on the grounds that there is a system to his frenzy or as some would say, his political knavery. A broken clock is correct twice per day; I never forget the "Osiun Ado" and "Osiun Oye" stories I told in my article on Ayo Fayose.

That Fayose disregarded Buhari and sent the 19 Ekiti APC lawmakers to the turkey ranch was an eye opener for me to accept that his "Okaraba Baba Edi" may have chipped away at the APC and General Buhari.

You few who have requested that I be understanding with Buhari unquestionably have a point, however the individuals who concur with me are not so much the foes of President Buhari. Now that its out in the open, I call every one of them and myself the closest companions of Mr. President. You are my companion on the off chance that you let me know what I am doing incorrectly. That mindfulness can just help me amend my errors and improve work. On the off chance that I am exhorting President Buhari, I am not going to let him know what I think he needs to listen. I am going to let him know what he needs to hear boisterous and clear: damn the outcome.

A considerable lot of you will be astounded in the event that I let you know that I learnt that statute from the same Alhaji Ahmed Joda, the Chairman of the Transition Committee Buhari has selected. I served under Ahmed Joda for a long time while he was the perpetual secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education in the 70s. I despised his guts at the time on the grounds that the man acted like a Drill Sergeant who needed everything done on time and with clock like accuracy. At the time, I didn't understand that the man was showing me to be the best I could ever be in my calling. I owe the man an obligation of appreciation for what he accomplished for me. The individuals who enjoy and betray Buhari are his more terrible foes.

Like most Nigerians amid the last race, I bolstered General Buhari with all that I had, yet I likewise have the bravery of my conviction to let him know I'll be no picnic for him on the off chance that he doesn't experience the desire of Nigerians. I adulated the APC for picking him as their chosen one over moving stones like Atiku Abubakar and different competitors like Governor Kwankwanso of Kano and Speaker Tambuwal of Sokoto.

I did as such on the grounds that I knew Buhari from the year 1968 and I knew he has been tried and demonstrated as a restrained pioneer and seemingly the most valid of all the presidential hopefuls from the North. I didn't especially like what Tambuwal did to the PDP and I said as much at the time on the grounds that I knew he could do likewise to the APC eventually. My hunch about him has materialize.

My apprehensions about him have been accepted. Tambuwal and Atiku Abubakar are truly embroiled in the unfairness and intrigue of Bukola Saraki to connive with the 49 PDP Senators to put the APC in an entanglement in spite of their greater part of 59 representatives in the Senate Chamber. It was an upset against the APC and I loathe the way that the overthrow was permitted to happen under the watch of Buhari who acted like a beginner by attempting to play the Pope who is above divided legislative issues. It was a senseless misstep on his part. He is above all else a lawmaker. On the off chance that the APC goes into disrepair, he is toast.

As President, Buhari is the hypothetical pioneer of his Party and he ought to have realized that he bears vicarious obligation regarding anything that turns out badly either in the Party Caucus or on the floor of both Houses of Parliament. Buhari was more centered around traipsing far and wide to manufacture an agreement against Boko Haram. In doing as such, he totally bit the dust on the unsafe intrigue engineered by Bukola Saraki and supported by Atiku Abubakar, Tambuwal, David Mark, and Ekweremadu who were previous PDP partners of Saraki. It was a ghastly indiscretion from Buhari and I put a significant part of the fault on his being President and less on Osinbajo who I believed would be a piece of his cerebrum box.

Great is never sufficient when the best is obliged or required. The best President is a multi-tasker why should capable do different things in the meantime without losing core interest. At the point when Buhari is occupied with dealing with Boko Haram and he leaves the home front unprotected, he opens himself up to be faulted if anything turns out badly at the home front. Buhari should have realized that the Senate and the House of Representatives are exceptionally reproachful of his change motivation.

Buhari needs to know he can't do any of his guarantees to the country without the dynamic participation and joint effort of the Legislative branch. In the event that he hasn't recognized that, Osinbajo as a protected attorney and Senior Advocate of Nigeria and the Vice President should have attracted his consideration regarding that imperfection in their Administration. I accuse both of them for their absence of judgment and mindfulness. I almost showed at least a bit of kindness assault when I understood the import and repercussions of what Saraki has done to APC. I couldn't care less about the certifications by Saraki in which he said would be faithful to the APC. He ought to go advise that to the mountains. In a nation as underhanded and dishonest as Nigeria where cash is everything, just a blockhead would purchase that certification. The American impacts on me won't acknowledge that.

Bukola Saraki is not even a legal advisor however the man has gotten the gold before Buhari and Osinbajo by placing them in a case and discarding the keys. The APC is in a bad position today; the majority of their individuals are either willfully ignorant or they are simply doing harm control. In the event that the APC does not rapidly unwind or break down, I know other bread and spread legislators from the PDP and APGA will soon be falling more than each other to traverse to the APC not on account of they have any withstanding confidence in APC or the nation, but since they cherish themselves more their gathering and their nation.

Saraki frantically needs to give himself and his accomplices like Atiku Abubakar invulnerability from open indictment and from all the abominations they may have conferred against the State. They may wouldn't fret if Buhari gets under the skin of different Nigerians for being degenerate. The Constitution won't let Buhari touch them with a 10 foot post following Buhari is pledged to maintain the same Constitution.

It is an exceptionally tricky circumstance for Buhari. That is the reason I call him a novice or a paper tiger at this time. Saraki and the PDP can snicker their way to the bank on the grounds that they have tied the hands of Buhari. A Dingle Foot, Rotimi Williams, or Gani Fawehinmi, in the event that they were still alive, can't safeguard him out. On the off chance that you don't trust me, ask Femi Falana, or Afe Babalola, or Olanipekun, or Professor Itse Sagay, or Professor Yadudu, or legal counselor Ife Adedipe, an exceptionally conspicuous Akure attorney occupant in Port Harcourt.

Bukhara's situation is anything but hopeful betraying his trust by Saracen in the event that you know the Law. Unless the invulnerability procurement is expelled from the Constitution, Bukhara can't touch Saracen who has, pretty much, set up an other Government in the Senate at this moment to all plan and purposes.

Despite Party names, most Nigerian lawmakers are not of the same attitude as JFK when he issued his one liner explanation, "Ask not what your nation can accomplish for you, approach what you can accomplish for your nation."  Former Governor Marwa of Lagos, and previous EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu are great cases of such legislators. There is one political development which is yet to be formally enrolled in Nigeria. Its name is Credible Alternative Alliance (CAA) and it doesn't believe the A.P.C, or the P.D.P, or the A.P.G.A.

The pioneers of the Alliance incorporate Balarabe Musa, Chief Oluyemi Falae, and a couple of noticeable Igbo legislators. I am not putting any accentuation on the new Alliance in light of the fact that it could bite the dust a characteristic demise or some of its individuals may wind up joining the APC or the PDP. They are making commotion today just to get saw by those Parties.

The old Afenifere drove by Chief Fashoranti of Ondo State and OPC drove by Gani Adams consented to collaborate with the Mimiko group of the Labor Party to support Goodluck Jonathan for 4 more years on the grounds that Jonathan had the keys to the Nigerian Treasury and he offered them as much cash as they requested. When they got paid, they began recounting to some silly story to bamboozle the Yorubas and to legitimize their backing of Jonathan. In any case, similar to me, the Yorubas were not tricked.

Nigerian legislative issues is about profiting. Jonathan truly discharged the Nigerian Treasury in the most recent two months prior to the races by giving a large number of Naira and Dollars to the Christian Association of Nigeria and ministers of the Evangelical Churches like Oritsejafor, Oyedepo, Kumuyi, Adeboye, and T.B Joshua who guaranteed to have a direct hotline to God.

General Overseer Oyedepo was the most vocal of every one of them. He conveyed Jonathan to his Church in Ota and midway thru the administration Oyedepo began talking in tongues "Ari ba, ba Chindereke, Slobo Ye."  He needed to inspire Jonathan and he did, with those abracadabra pictures.

Jonathan was awed. He really traveled to the asylum in a helicopter to citizens' detriment. Oyedepo got the entire Church to appeal to God for the President and he had the President address the assembly. Jonathan expressed gratitude toward them for their supplications to God and was guaranteed that God had addressed his requests to God to be President for 4 more years. I viewed the entire dramatization on Television from the solace on my parlor in New York. Everything I could do was simply shake my head on the grounds that Nigerians are so guileless.
