Buhari may make history as the last President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

We have heard, read and seen so much of President Buhari's leadership skills within his first year in office. Like it is usually said, first impression matters a lot. In this sense, it is therefore safe to say that Buhari's first impression in the last one year is enough to forecast what lies ahead.

I remember well enough how President Buhari worked really hard even doing a couple of funny things like wearing a suit to convince Nigerians he's no longer who he was known to be - a dictator. If he has to go through a lot of ordeal trying to convince Nigerians, surely the least he could do is to betray the trust of Nigerians.

He later won the election, but was quick enough to justify fears that wearing a suit, doesn't mean he has changed.

Buhari has for the past 14 months, achieved so much that he successfully brought the country to its knees in all facets. Virtually every decision or action he takes, does more harm than good to those who voted him to power.

Today, the country is greatly divided  along religion, tribal and regional lines. The economy is down. The National Assembly is yet to know peace since it took off after the election. Their is hunger in the land. There are egitations across the country. There's no respect for the rule of law anymore . Witch-hunting in the name of fighting corruption is the order of the day. Freedom of information and expression is trampled upon. Herdsmen are killing freely without any aggressive effort to restrain them. Budget has now become a big issue in the country. Accountability and transparency is only possible in our imagination. Religious crisis is warming up. Unity is threatened. Appointments are lopsided and a whole lot of other issues.

Buhari does things forgetting that he is a mortal being who is sure to relinquish power at any time when the Almighty God responds to the plea of the suffering masses.

He forgot that he once wore a suit, begging Nigerians to give him a chance.

He forgot that he'll need the masses in another bid to remain in power in case he desires a second term in office.

He forgot that he is representing the north as an individual and so painting himself black would mean painting the north black.

He forgot that the evil men do lives with them.

Unless Buhari makes u-turn for good, he'll be giving other regions the impression that a Northerner cannot be trusted as such, attract rejection.

Nigerians are on high alert! Christians are on high alert! Other regions of the country are on high alert. Already the sound of disintegration is in the air. If President Buhari fails to yield to the voice of the masses and calls for restructuring, he may just make another history as the last Northerner to rule Nigeria or better still, the last President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise.
God bless Nigeria.
