Staunch Buhari Supporters Apologize For Helping President To Power by Nicur: 7:13pm On Aug 11, 2016
Some staunch supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari are becoming frustrated and rethinking the roles they played in helping the president to power amid increasingly excruciating economic and political crises rocking the nation.
The supporters believe Mr. Buhari had so far failed to demonstrate that he has the wherewithal, and even the political will, to resolve the multifarious challenges the country is facing.
On Wednesday, Feyi Fawehinmi, with Twitter handle @Doubleeph, well known for his pro-Buhari/APC stance, surprisingly expressed disappointment in the administration, and apologized to his followers for convincing them to vote for Mr. Buhari last year, 
“It is possible that I convinced a couple of people to vote for Buhari and the APC,” Mr. Fawehinmi said in his published article in The Scoop. “I owe them an apology. The instincts of these people is to run with their expired ideas directly in the face of all the contrary evidence i.e. the 21st century. In fact, they are not interested in evidence, they are so convinced of their own foolishness. A bunch of undercover communists and unreconstructed socialists.
“I have nothing in common with such people and yet I somehow donated money to them and canvassed people to vote for them. I will freely say that this is one of the biggest lessons I have learnt in my life so far.
“If I convinced even 10 people to vote for Buhari, then I owe them an apology. For not properly interrogating the people who offered themselves as the solution to Nigeria’s problems. Not because it would have made a difference but because it was the right thing to do. Nigeria was always the point.”
Regretting that he failed to deeply interrogate Mr. Buhari’s personality and capacity, he added, “If enough of us had done this, perhaps the APC would not have the confidence to be walking away so blatantly from the product it sold during the campaign as it is doing today.”
He said bringing respite to Nigerians had become a seemingly intractable challenge for Mr. Buhari’s Government “unless oil prices go back up significantly, there is really nothing coming out of the government that gives you any confidence they know what they are doing.


“The ‘smart’ people who were supposed to lead sensible reforms and drive the change agenda have been reduced to actors in a silent movie.”
He said the government had become a source of shame to him, as it now offers daily “a dose of high drama” in place of “a change agenda that was promised.”
“I feel sad and ashamed at the way things are unfolding…The government that promised change is now so bound up in politics that changing anything is practically impossible even when they know the thing is not working.”
Mr. Fawehinmi was reacting to threat by Agriculture Minister, Audu Ogbeh, to “shut” fertilizer firms found to be exporting their products instead of producing for the Nigerian market. 
Threatening to shut businesses, Mr. Fawehinmi said, was capable of bringing humanitarian disaster upon Nigeria.
Mr. Fawehinmi’s article went viral and became a topic of intense debate on Twitter, with many users expressing “respect for the courage” to “tender his public apology.”
On Facebook, Oluseun Onigbinde, the Lead Partner of Nigeria’s budget and public policy analysis platform, Budgit, shared a quote from Mr. Fawenhinmi’s article, and, then tendered an apology too.
“Maybe I have not been bold to say it here,” Mr. Onigbinde wrote. “To put my entire reputation online for anybody when I am not guaranteed access to tell you my mind, I won’t do it again. I apologize too.”
“We will continue to help this government in the way we can because Nigeria First. We just need to be honest that we exaggerated the expectations of Buhari but it was two poor choices we had. We have to admit how to fix that.”
Then a commentator on Mr. Onigbinde’s update said, “A debate and a solid economic plan among others, should be a must for all candidates in the next general election. No more packaging!”
Besides the economic crisis the country is experiencing, which has been blamed on low oil prices, Mr. Buhari’s government has been severely criticized over the secret and illegal recruitments into the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the Federal Inland Revenue Service.
For a government that came to power promising to fight corruption, many Nigerians consider illegal recruitments as a breach of trust. 
Weeks ago, some activists marched against the illegal recruitments in Abuja, accusing the government of corruption and nepotism.
Also, Mr. Buhari’s rating has dropped significantly following his failure to release comprehensive details of assets and liabilities he filed at the Code of Conduct Bureau.


On September 3, 2015, in the face of widespread criticisms, the presidency, through Garba Shehu, a presidential spokesperson, released a few details of assets and liabilities filed by President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The presidency promised that full details of the assets would be made public after they had been verified by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
Eight months after, the CCB said it had completed its verification of the assets, but the presidency has so far failed to release the details.
A few days before the government’s first anniversary, the presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress denied that Mr. Buhari ever promised to deliver on some of his campaign promises within his first 100 days in office.

Lol

I think you all owe GEJ an apology, not twitter. The military ransacked this country until nothing worked. GEJ brought back the agricultural pyramids, the trains, made Nigeria the biggest economy in Africa, pushed Boko Haram into Cameroon, gave us fair elections, built up our institution, started local manufacturing of weapons.

When Libya and CIV went into crisis Nigeria was the first nation to rescue it's citizens. Google it.

2016 the Nigerian Olympic team hasn't ate food in 3 days and is in Youtube begging.

The same athletes that GEJ led to winning the World Cup with Keshi

Keshi dies and in 2016 his family is in the news lamenting the fedreal government not giving them 1 kobo for the burial or even sending representatives.

The geometric rate in which zombies are recognising how they were fooled and scam are becoming alarming. It only take repentant zombies to apologise , but as long as this government they voted disgrace them, they are bound to apologise to us that doubt his capability.

Baffled lots of fools preferred a herder with NEPA bill 'certificate' to a PhD holder - and still expected/-ing "change". I mean, if y'all really wanted to copy then-candidate Obama '08 campaign slogan, then at least use an enlightened candidate as well.

A NEPA bill holder with a Law Professor as his stooge- when in civilized climes if such a ticket were really to sound manageably rational, then the Professor ought be the one atop the ticket!

Oh well, eyes don dey clear small small.

It's only in Nigeria that you see learned men dropping heavy grammars and twisting the law just to justify injustice.
I remember the kind of big grammars these guys spoke to justify the inability of Buhari to present his certificate and participate in the election debate.
Now they've suddenly woken up.
This is just the beginning - next time,if a candidate refuses to participate in the normal process,you collectively raise eyebrows.
