In the buildup to the 2015 elections, the wild, uproarious
promotion of General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), as the man with the panacea for Nigeria’s myriad of problems wasted no time in
saturating the air.

This was sloppily packaged with a strange, aggressive
refusal to give the slightest consideration for any voice of caution, any
alternative opinion no matter how sound and redemptive. You either joined the
rowdy herd or you are a “hater” of the “messiah.”

The National Chairman
of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is used to public
shows. He lives as if every situation in life is a
piece of drama that must be acted out. Even at that, he does not respect the rules of
the stage and stay within his role. For no clear reason, he loves to be the lead actor always, even if the director
casts him to merely play a supporting role.

As president of the Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC) when Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was the President and Commander-In-Chief of
the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it seemed Nigeria had two
presidents. Then, if a man or woman only mentioned the
‘President’ in describing the head of state and number one citizen of Nigeria,
he or she would be required to give further details so that it would be known
if the description applied to Obasanjo or Oshiomhole.
