One of the cheapest criticisms against the aspiration of Buhari in - TopicsExpress



          

One of the cheapest criticisms against the aspiration of Buhari in 2015 is that he is not popular in some geopolitical zones. Yet who is that aspirant that is popular in all the six geopolitical zones? In fact Buhari can be said to have about three zones each in which he can surpass any other aspirant. Even in Kano as it is today, Kwankwaso cannot match Buhari not to mention other states within the NorthWest. Factor GoodLuck in the equation and decipher for yourself. Talk about Atiku in Adamawa and other states of the NorthEast when compared to Buhari. Factor GoodLuck in there. Most aspirants cant cross the borders of their states when compared to Buhari. Goodluck though may cross the borders of his zone or two on such comparison. I think its about time we moved to a higher level of criticism. If you like you can use faith or ethnic affiliation, you cant get a majority against General Buhari. Yet, you can use some high tech politics, pseudo-democracy, and some economic abracadabra to deny the general a slice of victory, or a sound recognition. But on a fair ground, the man stands no alternative. Buhari is a phenomenon in Nigerias political history, far more significant than Aminu Kano and probably Ahmadu Bello himself ( when he was alive), in terms of popularity and acceptability. In fact if numbers, national numbers, really matter as values placed on human opinions, than the number on the side of Buhari far surpassed those by the side of great heroes like Mandela of South Africa. In the end, it will prick the conscience of Nigerias democracy for decades after, should Buhari die without seeing a government or election he approves.Sincere political actors and policy makers must come to terms with this truism and thread with caution, that the future may not prove an impossible improvement!
