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 doubt if he ever will.

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.
