A prestigious Scottish university has confirmed illustrating bad leadership with a photo of President Muhammadu Buhari picking his teeth amidst rising poverty and insecurity across Nigeria.

Robert Gordon University told Peoples Gazette that Mr Buhari’s conduct better summarised various examples of bad leadership worldwide, adding that it encourages academic freedom of its students and academic staff members.

“The video,” the school said, “demonstrates the lecturer summarising the results of a student-led discussion around various examples of leadership.”

“RGU is committed to upholding the academic freedom of its staff,” the Aberdeen-based institution added.

The statement came days after a video of the lecture where Mr Buhari was used to illustrate bad leadership circulated online. The Gazette learnt that the RGU students drawn analysed pictures of Mr Buhari, especially the one in which he was picking his teeth, and concluded that he bore the traits of a lazy, insensitive president.

The infamous photo, which emerged as chaos and deprivation pummelled the Nigerian masses, was released by his office on August 5, 2019, to disparage citizens demanding the immediate release of Omoyele Sowore.

The Sahara Reporters publisher and prominent critic of the Buhari regime had been seized three days earlier from his Lagos apartment by agents of the brutal State Security Service (SSS).

It showed the president on a sofa, picking his teeth, presumably after a meal. The outer pair of his native baban riga clothes hung nearby, while the reflection from the glass shelves showed he was watching himself on television.

The picture subsequently earned the Nigerian leader a constant and widespread derision and became a catch-all for social media memes.

Critics said the picture buttressed Mr Buhari’s enduring public perception as a selfish and incompetent president. His associates and family members have been accused of benefitting immensely through corrupt deals.

His nephew, Tunde Sabiu, has gained increased reputation for stashing billions away in public loot. The president’s son, Yusuf, crashed a motorbike worth more than N100 million in Abuja. The president’s wife, Aisha, and other children have since moved abroad, where they live large on the resources of a country designated as the world poverty capital.

In December 2020, The Gazette reported how the federal tax office paid funnelled money to Isa Funtua, Mr Buhari’s staunch ally who passed on months earlier.

The presidency did not return a request seeking comments about the GRU lecture. But the president has repeatedly claimed to be managing Nigeria effectively and denied harbouring corruption within his administration and family.

There's no president in the whole world that is been disrespected as Nigerian president . Barely a week, a foreign university used Buhari as an example when teaching about bad leadership with a write up on the board " Don't be like Buhari" Now this one.

There's no way any sane person can give a useless leader like Buhari respect. Buhari is been insulted both home and abroad.

The office of Nigerian president is a joke and it's been ridicule by all the countries of the earth. Tell the dullard to resign and save us from this embarrassment.

Jonathan was too presidential and respected , for once Jonathan was not being mocked or been ridiculed except from the idiotic current zombie now who where so inconsequential and are still inconsequential.

This same Buhari , Donald Trump unapologetically called him lifeless.
