I recently watched two interviews: one was with
the former president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
and the other one was with the current
president, Muhammadu Buhari, both of them
were a hot mess, I was so damn ashamed for
them. Honestly, none of them was impressive in their knowledge of the issues or the processes
of the government they led and still leading. It
was like watching a "stupid competition", like
who sounded way more stupid!
While Jonathan sounded terribly evasive, dodgy,
pedestrian and ignorant on pressing issues surrounding his leadership, Buhari on the other
hand sound like a typical jingoist blaring a
divisive song from the the past with his
95%-5% gibberish response to a simple
question about running an all inclusive
government from a member of the audience. The moderator who was obviously embarrassed
had to explain what an inclusive government
meant to Mr president.
The only Nigerian president from 1999 to
present who does not give this kind of "cringe
worthy" interviews is Obasanjo. I don't like the man, in fact, his government was one of
gangsterism and hostile takeovers, and way
more corrupt. However, when he gives
interviews, you get the idea he knows exactly
what he is doing, who is doing what in his
government and when they do what they do, he talks about issues with the proper
understanding and perspective without
sounding like an ignoramus.
In retrospect, I can categorically say that
choosing between Jonathan and Buhari was
one that was bound to lead us to the dungeons either way, they are both incompetent and
should not lead a local government let alone a
country. It's unfortunate that our system keeps
her best in relegation and put out the worse to
play the game, we were only given the chance
to choose between two "mediocres". I don't regret supporting Jonathan neither do I miss
him, it is just sad we let people of very low
intellect take the reigns of power in this country
and expect magic.
