Only the most deluded supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari would argue that his performance over the last three years has lived up to the euphoria that heralded his (s)election victory in 2015.  The president has been a major league disappointment for those who rode on his “Change” bandwagon, expecting him to seriously tackle corruption, insecurity and the country’s economic decline.

Buhari’s failures on each score, especially his perceived inaction as Fulani herdsmen go on never ending murderous rampages across the country, have made many of his former supporters start to regret ever backing him.  One of the most notorious of those supporters is ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo, who has turned against Buhari in spectacular fashion, asking his ex-military colleague to not bother seeking re-election and calling him a “failure”.

While Obasanjo’s criticism of Buhari resonates with many Nigerians, a sizeable number of them marvel at the former president’s brazen hypocrisy.  This “look who’s talking” vibe has been captured in a new song by rapper Eedris Abdul Kareem, who wondered how Obasanjo, who wanted to amend the constitution so that he could remain in office for a third term, had the nerve to try and prevent Buhari going for a second term.
