The name Buhari in 2015 epitomized discipline, saint and fear. The very day Baba took the oath of office, all federal civil servants became born again, Abuja reckless drivers turned a new leaf, the contractors with fake company papers quickly scampered for genuine papers, those our friends in black uniform displayed "bail is free" in almost all their formations and divisions.
Nigerians started obeying body language for the very first time not waiting for their president to speak. "THE FEAR OF BUHARI WAS THE BEGINNING OF OBEDIENCE". Baba's name alone was mysterious and unfathomable. His body language proved disturbing and people were begging to refund stolen money even without been asked asked to so do.
Boko Haram lost their usual daily intimidating voice and you can hear Nigerians rejoicing and clapping in fictitious fantasy. YES, THAT'S OUR PRESIDENT!
As time went by, His Excellency basked in the euphoria of this infallible and saintlike status and stature. Nigerian media houses began to sing his praise, social media was awash with the accolades of the sinless messiah, AND THE KING SUDDENLY REALIZED HE'S THE ONLY SAINT IN NIGERIA.
Quickly, a wall of protection was built round his Excellency to prevent him from seeing profane politicians like THE LION OF BOURDILON and those who helped him to power. His barometer of judgement changed and His Excellency's eyes were too holy to behold iniquity, Tinubu, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Dino, Saraki, Shehu Sani, Baraje, late Audu Abubakar and a host of others became so fantastically corrupt to be seen with the new KING OF THE JUNGLE.
The party that brought him to power became contemptibly structured that he didn't want to have anything to do with them.
The HOLY and MIGHTY KING distanced self away from his party activities to select National Assembly Leadership. How will these unholy and corrupt elements called "APC" be carried along in the selection of ministers and board members? His Excellency echoed and his decision were unquestionably irrevocable.
Tinubu was dealt with in the South West. All his disloyal boys were exalted and empowered to water down his influence. Those still loyal to the persecuted king of south west politics were sidelined and even outrightly persecuted if need be. Saraki was tagged an armed robber after all attempt to unseat him through assets declaration failed. Senator Dino Melaiye, the APC MC, Shehu Sabi and others suddenly turned to gun runners. The only time Oyegun enjoyed patronage, was when THE KING wanted to use him against Abiodun Faleke, one of Tinubu's allies. The entire party structure was messed up and destroyed.
Away from the party to governance, Buhari's myopic and sentimental drive was first displayed in his choice of Attorney General and Minister of Justice. Any leader that chose Malami instead of Late Ocholi as Attorney General because of religion should be taken to the hospital to have his brain examine. I will not like to talk about the structure of our security architecture that gives undue advantages to Fulani Marauders.
The fight against corruption was not only a deceptive mantra, but the joke of the millennium. Where are the Grasscutters, the power bike syndicates, the Baru NNPC contract scam, the NIA dollar syndicates, the N87m annual haircut, the billions of dollars petroleum subsidy still ongoing in the NNPC
The emperor's government is not only fantastically corrupt, but ceremoniously deceptive.
Baba has no single reputation any longer before an average Nigerian. Do you want to lie to them about price of PMS or educate them about the high price of foodstuff in the market? An average Nigerian knows that exchange rate of dollar to Naira is no longer N150. Will Baba mount the podium and tell people of Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, Zamfara, Southern Kaduna that he will protect them and their properties?
Reputation is the cornerstone of power; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable and will be attacked on all sides. Baba's reputation was destroyed by the infallible status in which he put himself and by the criminal elements that surrounds him as his inner caucus, over which he had little or no control. Another silent issue was the dirty game he played with the IGP during the 2015 general election while the later was commissioner of police in Kano state that made Buhari to be answerable to the IGP instead of the other way round.
Baba is so vulnerable at this stage that anybody will defeat him without stress.
