Whether it was Whispers of True Love that failed or bedside talks collapsed, we aren’t sure. However, today’s news was filled with reactions from the interview granted to the BBC Hausa Service by the Wife of the President of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari where she reacted in her most respectful way as first lady to the current state of things in the country. With a good wife, common sense is always around the corner!
According to Junaid Mohammed in his interview published by the Punch Newspapers of July 23, 2016, I now agree with Junaid that:
1. There is Nepotism in the Buhari administration triggered by the president’s family members and very close associates.
2. There is a Mamman Daura cabal.
3. This Mamman Daura is behind some very sensitive appointments in this country.
4. Buhari stubbornly refuses to admit a mistake.
5. The anti-corruption fight of the government is one-sided because of Nepotism.
6. Nothing remains permanently secret in Nigeria.
7. If nothing changes, the Daura cabal will bring down Buhari’s government and his personal reputation.
I extracted the following from Aisha Buhari’s reactions on BBC Hausa service published on 15th October 2016 by vanguard newspapers and also agree that:
1. Some people in this government currently are so very influential in government yet they are neither politicians nor professionals.
2. These people do not even have a voter’s card but they hold posts meant for loyal politicians.
3. There are several political appointees that Buhari himself does not even know.
4. The fear of the uprising of the 15.4 million people that voted with high hopes for Buhari is beginning to loom.
5.
6. There are people in government who one and half years down the line, do not know what Buhari wants and hoped for.
7. Buhari is “seeing things himself. There is nothing I can tell him” is a very worded statement!

Any basis for comparison? Can you see any correlation?
Even Aisha also, who was there then, has told us all, what she feels. The message is clear.
Precisely May 29, 2017, except something happens, campaigns within the APC against the APC will begin in this country and no one will be able to stop it. Except the disgruntled within are called back in, expect a fluid but massive exodus. Considering the number of disgruntled elements in the All Progressive Congress, it will soon be clear that staying in the opposition for 16 years without running to exile or staying at large is not a joke. It will be clear to understand what it means when OBJ is unable to jail a particular politician by rule of law. It will be clear that as soon as political defeat happens, family members and allies will return to their accumulated business empires but the president and his name will remain grossly under attack not for 21 years this time but for life. The consequences of ignoring tested loyalty for family sentiments will also be clear. It will be clear that the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. The difference will be clear.
