Buhari Is Not Coming Back!

By Toyin Dawodu

There is a saying in Yoruba Land: “Orun a re mabo.”
Translation: No one comes back from the dead.
Buhari may not be dead, but he might as well be – too sick to rule, too greedy to leave.
*Buhari 
Do I wish Buhari dead? Hell no! I wish him well. But as the president of Nigeria, he needs to either serve in his full capacity as president, or immediately resign. There is no third option here, at least not one that benefits Nigerians.
For weeks, Buhari’s administration has been reporting that he is healthy, that he is simply on an extended trip to London for medical tests. He has been away for weeks, and his administration is unwilling or unable to tell Nigerians if or when their president will return, according to the LA Times.
So, what we know for sure is even if Buhari is not sick - which is improbable, considering his appearance of late - and he is just more comfortable spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on his current medical tour instead of getting these “medical tests” done at the State House Clinic Abuja, the fact remains he so  preoccupied with his health that he is unable to lead his country. And Nigeria does not seem to have another leader poised to take his place.
I agree with Okey Ndibe that Buhari should step down.
