Muhammadu Buhari final resting place in Daura has become a Mecca for Nigerian politicians seeking relevance. It’s like they say, “When you’re alive, they call you Baba Go Slow, but when you’re gone, they call you Baba Great!” 😂 Those who once maligned him now flock to pay their respects, hoping to tap into his 12 million bloc votes.
Atiku Abubakar set the tone by spending three days in Daura, keeping vigil and becoming a chief mourner. Others followed suit, including RAUF AREGBESOLA, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso , and the Ilorin Caliphate Abubakar Bukola Saraki , and one who ran a spirited primary election campaign ran a race of a lifetime Rotimi Amaechi, Mr. Peter Obi is not left out plus the one who said he was encouraged to contest the gubernitorial election in Kaduna Nasir El-Rufai. The list goes on and on, with politicians jostling for a piece of Baba Buhari’s legacy
As the people watch, it seems Baba Buhari has become a Northern Star 🌟. Someone’s bound to try and inherit his mantle, but it’ll take more than just a few prayers and platitudes. After all, you can’t just wake up one morning and say, “Today, I’ll be the new Buhari!” 😂 This isn’t an Elisha Elijah.
The question on everyone’s mind is: who’ll inherit the double portion? Will it be Asiwaju, Atiku, Obi, or one of the others? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – Nigerians will be watching this game unfold like a pendulum, swinging from one politician to another.
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬.
