When he brags about his much vaunted prowess in “jailing corrupt public officials,” Buhari only exposes his lack of full understanding of what corruption is.
Corruption is not all just about embezzled money.Corruption is also about power, and even more so, one can argue.
By that yardstick, Buhari is the most corrupt himself: heusurped and misused power in Nigeria to perform dreadful and even criminal actions.
A symptom of power-corruption is using illegally obtained power with utter disregard for constituted law and order and elected government.
When Buhari carried out a military coup to sack an elected government, he indicted himself as power-corrupt. In bragging about it, he makes the second point about power-corruption—arrogance.Years after essentially despoiling and destroying an elected government, Buhari insists to the hapless peoples residing in Nigeria that he will continue to try to seek the office of the president of Nigeria, no matter how many times he has to try! The "subtexted" message is that if military coups were still possible in Nigeria, he would have used that avenue once again to achieve his goal.
Military decrees are not laws: they are in fact military orders that must be carried out by civilian-citizenry, on penalty of death. Buhari set about issuing decrees and ensuring their enforcement In Nigeria between 1983 and 1985. During that period, due process, proper legal representation and process, presumption of innocence until formal trial and conviction, were trashed and would never be practiced as Buhari wielded the power of life and death over each single person and all living in Nigeria then.
The most unimaginable occurrence is when Buhari issued hisMilitary decrees and then made themretroactive. Based on such cruel and unconscionable act and display of abuse of power, Buhari ordered the execution of persons who had earlier been convicted of drug offences well before his “regime terrible” locked down Nigeria.*The death of such prisoners as such is in fact an act of murder by apsychopath, Buhari. Corruption with power does not get much worse than that.
Buhari registered Nigeria as an Islamic nation with the OIC—the Organization of Islamic Conference, reserved for Muslim countries. There was no discussion with the rest of non-Muslim Nigeria who constitute over half of the population and who would have bluntly said “No” to that. But, Buhari “had the power” and exercised it, without qualms. How else would one define “power-drunk” and corruption with power?
Buhari had a chance to show remorseor at least render some accounting and accountability for his inimical activities as a Military ruler of Nigeria at theOputa Commission, an event reminiscent of the much successful Truth and Reconciliation commission post-Apartheid South Africa. But insheer arrogance and contempt, Buhari refused to show up. Not quite satisfied, he went to court after intimidating the judge(s) and won aninjunction successfully prohibiting the government of Nigeria from ever making the Oputa findings public.
A society is always threatened by corruption in any form, butpower-corruption is invariably more frightening, devastating and lethal than money-corruption. Yet, there is even more danger when a society fails to recognize that power-usurpation and abuse is a form of corruption—and deadly at that. This failure results in the unthinkable: that given their records,persons like Buhari would actually show their faces to contest for public office, and that society would tolerate that.
