Muhammadu Buhari And His Unfaithful Mistress - By Dare Babarinsa by HungerBAD: 5:47am On Nov 01, 2017 |
By Dare Babarinsa Absolute power loves to come in the benign habiliment of profound understatement. When General Yakubu Gowon came to power after the coup of July 29, 1966, he was called the Supreme Commander and Head of the Federal Military Government. Yet his supremacy was heavily contested and the military government was deeply divided. Then the soldiers went to Ghana under the auspices of the new military ruler of that country and they met in Aburi. From that point on, Gowon took on the title of Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces. Yet with this new sober title, Gowon wielded more powers than hitherto. http://guardian.ng/opinion/muhammadu-buhari-and-his-unfaithful-mistress/ 21 Likes 6 Shares

Yet power is an unfaithful mistress. It lies coyly with the powerful. But sometimes, it drifts away and moves in with the unknown elements who wield power without the responsibility of office. Perfectly said by uncle Dare Babarinsa. I really missed his opinion page in TELL magazine of the military era. When we voted for Buhari in 2015, we never knew that unknown elements like Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura would be the once to wield the real powers while the real president will be restricted to a mere spectator. Somewhere along the line, we need to legally figure out how to prevent people without legitimate electoral responsibilities from wielding too much power in our democracy. We need more checks and balances to always ensure that powers don't get into the hands of people without the responsibility of office. 39 Likes 6 Shares |

There's a thin line between being an effective leader and being a wicked leader. Buhari as a weak man who's fiercely loyal to those he likes is a weak man who has to prove his strength as a leader with random acts of wickedness. Those people he surrounds himself with knowing his weakness and loyalty to them instead of the nation have been taking him for a long and comfortable ride with biscuits and ice cream. Buhari has no hold on power in Nigeria any more, at best, he's a ceremonial president, it's either he rides things out as a puppet that he is albeit a wicked puppet or he pulls a Machiavelli and utterly fûcks up those guys friends who have been usurping his authority ie Dambazzau, Kyari and co aka the cabal. They have the military in their pocket though 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Buhari should step aside in 2019 and go attend to his health. Nobody can check the inner cabinet of the President because those are his most trusted advisers 38 Likes 5 Shares |

QueenOfNepal: I am observing and just silent for now. The problem now is, i have looked at our political environment and it is not encouraging. There is no body out there to even support, and its very sad. I was with the Delta State Speaker, with some of his young house members at a very private get together, somewhere in the diaspora weeks back and after listening to them speak, i have come to a reasonable conclusion that the young, just like the old people too in Nigeria Politics,have issues. They all lack a sense of direction. 24 Likes |

Exonerating Buhari in all of this is foolhardy. He is thoroughly involved.Mainagate isn't been investigated,someone is been planned to take the fall once we shout again..... We must tell the truth that he is involved:otherwise,tell me who he will get rid off among these people? The DSS that protected Maina? Or Malami doing his boss' job expertly? Who? You will see how one perm sec or HoS or Chairman will take the fall for the apparent greed of a Malami,Dambazzau,Daura or even Buhari himself. OP,have you forgotten how you staunchly defended Buhari and absolved him of any wrongdoing? Perhaps,you have seen the real world. You can be forgiven because we really did have two bad choices,but we chose the worse of them. We all make mistakes,but it will be dangerous for you to be ignorant,and comfortable with it in 2019. Perhaps,we have learnt a lesson or 2. 3 Likes |

kernel505: Sincerely, I cannot fault your position. I am also done with the argument that the president is a good man that is surrounded by bad people. The same thing was said about Jonathan and we expected Buhari to be an improvement. A good president that cannot bring on board good people that share his vision for the country is a useless president. 7 Likes |

FarahAideed: Don't mind Hungarbad he's talking as if Maina is the only corrupt officer recalled by Buhari but he forgot that in August 2010, the then President Goodluck Jonathan sacked the army’s chief of staf, Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau, and the commanders of the air force and navy. They were dismissed after reports emerged that they had committed illegalities in arranging arms deals. More than $1 billion was reported to have been diverted to companies owned by their friends and family members. The allegations were never cleared, and a 2016 presidential report on corruption in the armed forces, did not include Dambazau’s time as Army Chief. He is now interior minister. 5 Likes 1 Share |
