By not preceding his quest for re-election with an apology for his
current poor performance, President Muhammadu Buhari has taken the citizens he
is seeking their votes for granted. His is a campaign driven by the notion of
the citizens as not being discerning enough to know what is right for them.
Buhari and his party are propelled by the illusion that the political
enlightenment of the majority of the voters is still at an inchoate stage.

Buhari would only realise the falsity of this notion when he has been sent back
to Daura. In Daura, he would rue his not taking cognisance of the fact that it
was the same voters whom former President Goodluck Jonathan and his Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) disdained by not living up to their expectations who
sent them out of Aso Rock.
