To be clear, President Muhammadu Buhari has the inalienable right to gun for a second term if he so wishes but he must run on his records, not emotional blackmail and banalities. It is left for Nigerians to decide his fate at the ballot.
But to say that there is no alternative is not only a fallacy but an egregious insult to Nigerians.
Unless, of course, our idea of the president Nigeria deserves in 2019 is someone who is clueless and incapable of the mental rigours that 21st century governance demands, someone who is aloof and whose idea of leadership is to enjoy the accouterments of office without corresponding responsibility, a man adept at using state power in settling old scores. I stand to be corrected, no Nigerian leader can do better than President Buhari on these scores.
We die, literally, the day we stop dreaming. If Nigeria is to progress, there must be a shift in leadership paradigm. We don’t need messiahs. We need men who have the grit, intellect and emotional integrity to excel.
We must change the narrative by overhauling the defective leadership recruitment process with an alternative to a possible Buhari candidacy.
