Hurricane Buhari .365days of the NEW AFRICAN ORDER

By Esan Ayo deji.

Muhammadu Buhari was born  in Daura, kastina. He joined the Arny and rose through the ranks to become Nigeria's first petrmoleum minister under the obasanjo  military administration
.
He became Nigeria's head of state after a bloodless coup.
Known to loathe curroption he was topled and humiliated by the establishment.

Fast foward to 2003 he went into politics contesting against the PDP . he lost 3elections consecutively


The fourth time was 2015 where he emerged President of Nigeria. In a land slide victory , he was the choice of Nigerians . 


Hurricane Buhari swept through Nigeria against all odds. From lies and character assassination emanating from the PDP, hurricane Buhari stood firm .

For the first time ever in the history of African democracy the incumbent Goodluck Jonathan placed a call to the hurricane congratulating him ,there by conceding  defeat before the official result was announced. 


Hurricane Buhari had won by the largest margin ever . This he achieved through lofty promises from the APC , his political party and 3promises from him. 1st to tackle insecurity, create jobs and fight curroption. 
True to his word he sprung into action by going after the former national security adviser Dasuki , who diverted billions of dollars to fund the election of goodluck Jonathan. 


After an extensive interrogation he began to sing.  He implicated scores of PDP members who were also interrogated . 


The nation was shocked at the huge figures public office holders embezzled while soljers were sent to the war front against bokoharam with literally no guns and when there were guns there were no bullets.in this aspect he has excelled with the number of charges top government are currently facing.  

Even though it 95% of the opposition and hardly any of the potentialy curroption people who funded his election being persecuted.

The second campaign promise he made was to restructure the economy and provide a secure environment for Nigerians to go about their daily activities.

In the former ,he has shown his intention to succeed by the numerous foreign trips despite his age ,to sign bilateral agreements which will create infrastructure , and ensure there is no safe haven for looters.

In the latter, the rate of armed robbery has reduced while kidnapping has skyrocketed. There is the issue of the herds men from the north heating up the polity with the ethnic motivated killings in the Southern part of Nigeria.

Oil pipeline attacks by the so called Niger delta avengers have literally shut down electricity supply in Nigeria.

Mr president has excelled in fighting curroption . infrastructure takes time so it is only fair to give the administration time.. 

Considering the way governance at the highest level operates it is clear BUHARI is trying different strategies hoping it works . If it fails, such as the free fall of the naira coupled with the dwindling oil price ,the lowest ever since the invention of sliced bread,he simply tries the next alternative, a plan B.

The one thing a President and commander in chief is not allowed to do is to be indecisive.In this regard Nigerians have to be patient and patriotic  And they have. As observed in the recent failed Labour national strike.

And finally, the issue is security has been totally unacceptable. Boko haram is still very active through unconventional war.And kidnapping still thrives.
