President Buhari Still Doesn't Get It

By Ikechukwu Amaechi
After listening to President Muhammadu Buhari's three minutes, fifty-six seconds national broadcast on Monday, August 21, his first since coming back to the country from a 103-day medical tourism in the United Kingdom, I concluded that he still does not get it.
I doubt if he ever will.
*President Buhari
Prior to his speech, I was not overtly hopeful I would hear anything grand, ennobling and soul-lifting.
Yet, after a three-month absence from duty post, during which time he presumably had time for sober reflection on what ails the country of 180 million people over whose affairs he superintends, I had hoped he would have realised the need to calm frayed nerves and bring people together through moral suasion.
How wrong I was.
