Governing Nigeria - A Recycling Centre by axeman10(m): 5:59pm On Apr 07, 2015
As the celebration over Buhari's win pan down. I'm taking a reflective look at the political governance of the country as a whole. The centre where power resides is only exclusive for a select few and those anointed by them.

Let us focus for now on the hot seat - the president. We know that for other political appointees, it will be very very difficult for us to hear new names that will deviate completely from those political hustlers/jobbers we have heard over the years. Some names are just going to be recurring with the news of CVs being dropped on presidents...though I pray not.

Now let us take a reflection of our past Heads of State cum presidents since the post war era and the discovery of oil on a large scale in Nigeria.

Obasanjo/Yaradua regime of the late 70's is followed by Shagari's goverment which was terminated by the Buhari regime in the 80's.

Then ruled from 1985-1993 followed by a weak interim government enforced on us for a few months knowing that Abacha will take over. Abacha's untimely death lead to the Abdul Salam's brief rule who handed over back to OBJ to continue the stranglehold on the nations political and economic resources in the hands of this caucuses.

OBJ then handed over to late Yaradu'a the brother to his former vice, to ensure this ruling caucus is not broken in anyway. Goodluck was never in the scheme of things, but as his name implies was lucky to be the president after Yaradua's unexpected demise.

As Jonathan was not their primary choice, these power brokers then packaged Buhari (beer parlour gist, but couldn't be far from truth) one of their own acceptable to majority of Nigerians.

Now the question is after Buhari, who will be recycled again for the top job...? Definately IBB won't be acceptable to Nigerians. Could it be Abdulsalami again? Or one of their former military governors?

Who do you think will be recycled post Buhari?

This is just some random thoughts before apc/pdp goons say op is high on something.
Share your permutations.

After Buhari, we are likely going to be sold the Abdulsalami presidency.
