For those who have
watched the direction of President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration for
well over two years now, there is no doubting the fact that we have made a
wrong choice. Not that there was anything to choose from between a weakling
called Goodluck Jonathan who allowed free stealing to go on in his government
unabated and, at that time, a serial loser at presidential elections since 1999
called Muhammadu Buhari.

However, little did we know then that it was a
choice between a present disaster and a would-be tragic figure. The facts don’t
come out in good time and so people were quick to paint a future devil in a
Saint’s colour. While the drive to choose anybody but Jonathan among the political
elite which eventually percolated down to the people, was so pressing at that
time, it was not a well-thought out choice. For while Nigerians act as if they
operate a two-party system, we actually run a multi-party democracy.
