Why Some Politicians Would Want Buhari To Remain In Power

My conscience would continually torment me if I refuse to voice out what I've observed in the life of the man who SITS on the throne as Nigerian President and the cabals surrounding him.
It's very appalling and seriously pathetic that most Nigerians, both the low and mighty, the soundly educated persons inclusive, due to the height of protracted hardship and hunger in the land, can do any thing to survive, whether it be good or bad, it doesn't concern them at all. Nobody cares!
The bulk of the scenario showcasing how terrible some Nigerians can be in their pursuit for greener pastures and wealth could be visibly seen among our political elites and their followers, especially now that we are in the heat of political campaigns towards the forthcoming general elections.
This is a time when you see politicians with the aid of their supporters, out of their selfish interest, doing everything possible to clinch the mantle of leadership or install a particular candidate, most times to the detriment and against the wish of the masses.
A typical instance is the ongoing campaign and underground work meant at reinstalling Mohammadu Buhari as Nigerian president for another four years, not minding some very serious and embarrassing flaws of Mr. President, which he unfortunately exhibits in most of his public appearances.
A very close watch at our dear President would tell you he is never at all in control of anything, including his office desk, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
That's why he would order the Inspector General of Police to carry out a particular action but he would later come back to tell us that he never knew that the IG did not obey the order.
His (wife), had at one time and another voiced out her mind by telling Nigerians and the world at large that her husband is never in control of the country, that some cabals are now in charge; yet, nobody wants to pay heed to that statement made by the closest person in the life of the president.
Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa has in a twinkle of an eye turned to an object of mockery and caricature in the face of the globe, due to the simple reason that our supposed president is not in charge, considering his poor knowledge of the things happening in his government and the country as a whole.
Nigerians all over the world had a very big slap on their face when the incumbent President of the United States of America (USA), Donald Trump, called our own country's President, Mohammadu Buhari a lifeless president, and warned him never to come to meet him again.
Unfortunately, those campaigning for Buhari have not cared to ask why the American President, Trump uttered that statement.
Some Nigerians have been wondering if President Buhari makes out time at all to go through the national dailies or listen to news, to enable him get a little glimpse of happenings in his country and around the globe.
In several occasions, while delivering his speech during political rallies or interviews, President Buhari had been seen making unimaginable blunders and giving a complete different or wrong answer to questions thrown at him; and in some cases he would say (which I think is the truth) that he didn't know that a certain thing happened in his government sometime, or a particular serious matter is going on in his government; which shows that he's not in control of the government, contrary to the thought of few gullible Nigerians.
In the last Presidential Media Chat which was watched in different parts of the world, Buhari said he was sworn in as the President of Nigeria on May 19, instead of May 29, 2015.
To further buttress my point; in a recent APC rally, where the President was expected to hand over the party's flag to the governorship candidate, Buhari was heard mentioning presidential and senatorial, and afterward governotorial candidate, instead of gubernatorial candidate; even after he had been corrected by one of the men standing beside him on the podium. Really, I pity our president because it may not be his own making, but the problem lies with those cabals using him as a shield and figure head to perpetrate their wicked acts against their suspected political enemies and Nigerians in general; when it is vividly clear to these cabals and well reasonable Nigerians that Buhari had in the past tried his best and has nothing more to offer to this country, and therefore, should be allowed to have his rest and relaxation in the remaining years of his life.
Don't ever be surprised when it would be revealed, that the President Buhari we are talking about and accusing for masterminding the several humiliating attacks on some selected big time politicians and office holders, never knew anything about those attacks, but were carried out by the same CABALS in his government.
Again, I need no prophet to tell me that so many shocking revelations would be made after the expiration of the present administration of President Mohammadu Buhari, which Buhari might not know when such atrocities were committed; Just Because He Was Not In charge. His Government Was Hijacked By Cabals!
The events that are unfolding in this Buhari's administration remind me of what I, Otu Obiahu also witnessed in his military regime between December 31, 1983 and August 27, 1985, when Buhari was the Head of State, whereas Tunde Idiagbon was the main man deciding and taking actions.
Idiagbon was the very man who introduced and enforced the popular 'War Against Indiscipline (WAI), while Buhari just sat on the throne as a senior officer, but mainly a ceremonial Head of State.
The truth remains, any person that is thinking of voting for Buhari in the coming election is deceiving himself/herself, because you will surely end up voting for and empowering the 'Same People'- the CABALS in Aso Rock. They are the same group of politicians who are pushing Buhari to contest for another election for their own betterment, not minding Buhari's weaknesses and present health challenges.
It's about time we allow Buhari to rest! He has done his best! So, let's not allow any politician or political party to use him as a camouflage to achieve their selfish goals.
Please and please, never get my views twisted; I'm not saying that we should vote for any particular candidate or party, rather, let's choose wisely the candidate to vote for, apart from Buhari.
In addition to that, the expression of my views here cannot overrule the fact that there are very good and vision ladened politicians vying for various political positions on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which President Buhari belongs to.
We should take note of the good ones and cast our vote for them. APC is like every other political party, which also have their shortcomings. So, this writeup is not about APC as a party; get it right!
However, the issue remains that the so called Cabals or whosoever, should stop projecting Buhari for further elections.
Truly, Truly, Buhari Needs To Go And Rest!
