The discovery of dead persons names
on President Muhammadu Buhari's boards' appointments made last weekend
signposted a nation in constant trauma, plagued by inept leadership and a
stubbornly disoriented clique that has held Buhari's Presidency hostage, while
the people who are at the receiving end languish in abject penury. We are
talking about dead; its meaning and those in President Buhari's government.
Termination or expiration of existence sounds most profound — a dead
government, organisation, organism or a person is dead to reasoning; emotion,
recognition and feeling — or when leadership can no longer put a face to its
name.

Literarily speaking, President Buhari has been a
dead 'man', as much as his presidency. He fails to put a face to his presidency
by ensuring that he fulfils all or some of his electoral promises to the mass
of Nigerian people. Buhari is 'dead' for refusing or failing to fulfil his 2015
Presidential manifesto to revive and reactivate our minimally performing
refineries to optimum capacity.
