The ongoing free-for-all
argument over the performance of Muhammadu Buhari as President and indeed the
credibility of his anti-corruption drive doesn’t seem to subside anytime soon,
because, in addition to the persistent economic difficulties being experienced
across the country that also fuel the argument, some other relevant
developments do equally fuel it as well. The most recent of such developments
is, of course, his extended medical vacation in Britain, which has given rise
to speculations about his physical fitness to resume and carry on his presidential
duties.
President Buhari
Basically, on
the one hand of the equation, there are diehard Buhari loyalists who, even when
they reluctantly admit his administration’s responsibility for further
deterioration of things in the country, they vehemently dismiss any assertion
or insinuation about his personal blameworthiness in this regard. Whereas, on the other hand, there are equally
diehard Buhari antagonists who hardly recognize any achievement by his administration,
and even when they reluctantly do, they hardly attribute appropriate credit to
him as President.
