Tinubu's Comment

Following the recent comment of Bola Ahmed Tinubu the APC leader in Nigeria, " that the southwest is solidly behind President Muhammadu Buhari."  one cannot help but wonder what must be going through his mind for making such a comment in this critical period of Buhari's government.

First, he doesn't speak the voice of the common man and he doesn't speak the voice of the average Nigerian in the southwest. So where is that coming from? Is that suppose to mean a doubt in the people that clearly supported the APC during last elections? Following the recent recession that has hit this country, am not surprised that even "Jagaban" can read the handwriting on the wall.


I want to understand something. We cannot criticize Buhari because we think his problems were predetermined by the Jonathan's Administration? Is that not what all politicians from opposing parties leverage on to gain power?


Take Trump for example, he had to literally fight Obama during his campaigns and tell the American citizens why Hilary would be a misrule because of her husband the former President's antecedents.


It is all just a game to them. What matters is what they are doing in office now. so Tinubu doesn't speak for anyone in the southwest. If he is so confident, let him tell us his prediction for the 2019 election.

Almost a hundred days in office and Trump has not hit the ground running. Buhari is almost two years in office and we cannot start to list his achievements. Can we now say " he who wears the shoe, knows where it pitches."
