I wrote this yesterday about President Buhari of Nigeria. There’s been a lot of interest in the blog in Nigeria. I’ll answer a few of the key points raised, here.

First, if you’re a president then it’s up to you to show people you’re alive and well – it’s not up to your people to prove the opposite. Every politician in the world knows this. A statement from a PR guy doesn’t cut it. Angry ripostes from supporters don’t cut it. Only your personal appearance cuts it.

Second, if your’e a president and you’re not well, then a doctor needs to come out of the hospital and explain to your nation what’s up. This let’s everyone, including your people and the markets, know if your alive at all, alive enough to recover or have just sprained an ankle.

Unless these things apply, then there will be shenanigans. For example, a dead person will be kept hooked up to a machine and advisers, politicians, traders, all the people ‘in the know’ will be jockeying for position and none of the regular people of the country will know anything about it. Nigerians have done themselves proud on the democrtic front in the last few years; this is no time to start accepting bullshit again.

Before the last election, I shared a platform in Nigeria with half a dozen ex-prime ministers and ex-presidents, both African and European. After the event, I had dinner with one along with his ambassador. The ambassador gave me a first class analysis of the political situation in Nigeria. The PDP had become unstable but was considered a more stable bet than the new APC. That said, the international diplomatic community thought the rise of a new party of opposition a thoroughly good thing and felt they might win ‘the election after next’. As it turned out, the APC actually won the election and Goodluck Jonathan actually stood down. It was pretty amazing.
That doesn’t mean the APC has all the answers. And for now, they have the same problem the PDP had when its president died. The dynamics of the government of course mean there’ll be a lot of horse trading going on around the succession if the president is indeed dead. Not a bad idea in future to choose a younger president?

Anyway, where’s the Nigerian media? Cowed, maybe? And where’s the UK media? Uninterested, probably, because it’s almost entirely white – in spite of many Africans living in London – and to most UK media folk stories about Africa are boring unless there’s a big famine, terrorism, or a war.

But in the end, this is about how Nigeria is on its way to becoming a front-rank nation. That’s good news. Accountability to regular Nigerians about the present situation with the president is a big, big part of that.

The president of one of the world's largest and most sensitive countries died in London today.In our main news bulletins, not a word.#Buhari

NO matter how dark the night is, there is light at dawn.
Buhari can't remain in London till 2019.

Whether he is alive or dead Nigerians will know in due time

Still waiting for Femi Adesina to refute the claim.

They want to kill our president for us oo. Buhari can not die .he is immortal.

That was how he died before, until i see his dead body brought back to naija i won't believe

But why is Garba Shehu or Femi Adesina not addressing a News press conference to refute the claims?

An eckist friend of mine who soul travels regularly told me few days ago after close from work that my president is dead.Rushed home,powered all gadgets and got nothing.

Buhari with earthly vessel of +70 something will someday kick the bucket like every human.All the secrecy and drama ain't healthy for Nigeria.

Okay o

You're making no sense, enjoy ya Sunday.

2019 IS still far oo

the guy's twitter profile makes the news look abit credible.

I fear the worst

This must be one of the people Femi Adesina refers to as "purveyors of hate!"



Nothing go happen to Baba Buhari.

Long live the president!

I wish it is true.

Can't wait for celebrate.
if u quote me amadioha will strike u

You go wait tire.

This is serious!
At least since its coming from not just outside,but a 'white' source with political capital,d Nigerian govt wud not react in its usual dismissive and dodgy manner had it come from a 'black',Nigerian and within the country.

Can your eckist friend please soul travel again and tell me who will win the 2019 election ?
I want to sell my father's house and stake the money on the outcome

Will he be the first president to die in power?
Why is that a big deal

Osibanjo over to you
Sack and probe all the cabals and do your thing
No excuses

The guy is busy defending his position on Twitter while kayode is making blind argument as usual

If truly he is dead, I'd feel no sympathy for him. Someone who should have stayed out of active politics and focused on his health, greedily and foolishly allowed himself to be used. He can continue being president wherever his soul rests in. I don't know why Africans are power drunk to the extent that they would hold on to power to the detriment of their health.
