There is something about President Muhammadu Buhari that somehow attracts drama to him. It is difficult to say if it is about him as a person, or about the people whom he has surrounded himself with. But somehow, his administration has given the country the highest dose of comedy!

From statements being made and his spokespersons saying they were taken out of context, to blatant attempts at providing impossible meanings for utterance made by Mr. President in English, it has been a fully packed drama series!

Now we are enjoying the “phone call drama”. First the Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki celebrated the fact that Mr. President called him, then the Kano State governor releases a comic clip of himself talking to the President(even though we never confirmed if the President actually spoke), to the present tussle between two of Buhari’s spokespersons, Garba Shehu, and Femi Adesina to celebrate receiving and missing calls from the President!

While both spokespersons were so elated that the President called them that they had to take to Social Media to declare their undying love for the President who finally decided to talk to his mouthpieces, Femi Adesina let drop one key thing; he had been talking to the President since the man left for London!

Adesina’s admission then raises the question, who has been giving him the statement he has been issuing on behalf of the President? Does a hale and hearty President now have a mouthpiece, through which he issues directives, to his direct mouthpiece? If that is the case, how do we know that such statements were actually from the President? Why is the President being shielded from even talking directly to his own mouthpiece since he has been away? How bad is Muhammadu Buhari’s health?

It is a huge pity that we have come to the stage where a mere phone call(whether that is even true is subject to scrutiny as the elation displayed by both Shehu and Adesina portrays a certain sense of theatrics)from our President to his own spokespersons is now considered a great deal. This seems to be in following with the idea of a Donald Trump call and the belief that saying that the President called would somehow make Nigerians believe the lies about a hale and hearty President. But whatever motivated this...
