Re: Arewa proposal for 2019
Even as he employed grandiloquent writing style, the Author of the above-titled piece gave the impression of someone narrating bedtime story to his grandchildren, rather than seriously engaging his large audience on a highly reputable platform, Daily Trust.
In his bombastic rhetoric that was thoroughly empty of insight or even flimsiest arguments, he managed to manifest his innermost political hallucinations.
From his pessimistic perspective, the Author adjudged Buhari administration as “presidency which has now fizzled into a mirage.”
He questioned Buhari’s “physical and fiscal competencies” and he convinced himself of the inevitability of a replacement as a foregone conclusion. The Author claimed that Buhari presidency truncated the northern presidential entitlement with the “excruciating experience of mis-governance, inflexibility and unpopularity overtaking the initially ecstatic expectation of change enchanted Nigerians.”
One may go on, but the list of unsubstantiated claims in the vacuous piece was endless and the preposterousness of these claims was beyond measure.
Absolutely obsessed with his preconceived notion of Buhari failed presidency, the Author made no slightest attempt even by means of specious arguments to justify his wild claim.
The writer applied his energies vigorously to write off Buhari presidency, in a pathetically bad manner, completely lacking in substantive arguments that have solid basis in reality.
The writer is entitled to excessively adore and glorify his political idol, propose his preposterous alternative, and give free rein to his highly imaginative political engrossment, but inventing implausible scenarios to promote his lazy assumptions and wishful thinking will end up in inefficacious exertions.
Admittedly, PMB is a mere mortal and undoubtedly isn’t irreplaceable, as Nigeria is greater than any individual, but denouncing his administration through unconvincingly feeble mode is insulting to our collective sensibilities.
All in all, this nauseating palaver from an obscure traducer will hardly elicit any serious reaction.
