Excerpts:

At the moment, though he (Buhari) has asked for patience and it is still only a short time since his inauguration, the pressure is building up for signs of movement.

... at APC government level the only symbols or signals we are getting are negative ones.

The battle between different factions of APC for ministerial positions is another negative symbol. These are symbols of a titanic, almost existential, battle between the best interests of the country and the narrow interests of a few individuals or a particular class. These symbolize that instead of change all we are getting is the “same old, same old” language of vested interest, just in a different accent.

Sitting in the Hilton observing the cabals whispering in corners, the broad smiles and backslaps as sincere as the fox eyeing the rabbit and the strange bedfellows squeezing in the lift gave me no feeling of change, only business as usual.

What we need now are genuine symbols of President Buhari’s intent, ciphers that he is in control and not being dictated to by factions around him.

The election has raised the hopes of the polity. We have felt that euphoria and persuaded ourselves that ‘Sai Baba’ will make the difference when deep in our psyche we fear the melancholy of yet another disappointment.


We have been forced to accept our disappointments too often. Unless President Buhari quickly gives us symbols to believe otherwise, he might finally extinguish our ability to hope.
