Nigeria is a wonderful country with many different characteristics and absurdities that make it to be completely unpredictable. The events and happenings from 1914- the period of amalgamation of major regions and tribes into a unified nation by the British up to the current democratic dispensation- have incontrovertibly proved that accurate.
For example, the Balewa government of 1956-1966, the Major General Aguiyi Ironsi government of 1966, the General Yakubu Gowon government of 1967-1975, the General Murtala/Obasanjo government of 1975-1979, the Alhaji Shehu Aliyu Shagari government of 1979-1983, the Major General Buhari/Idiagbon government of 1983-1985, the General Babangida/Abacha government of 1985-1998, the General Abdussalam government of 1998-1999, the PDP government of 1999-2015 were all terminated unexpectedly and brought down into dissolution through unexplained circumstances beyond the predictions of people in the corridor of power or their close associates.
In addition, many countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and America were liberated through a bloody revolutionary exercise or a simple political resistance by the masses all because of the acts of open injustice perpetrated by political power mongers glued firmly to the seat of leadership.
Majority of world class leaders particularly in Africa, used to be highly deceptive before ascending into political power but very wicked with inhumanity after grabbing the leadership position. The Buhari APC led Federal government was summarily accused and suspected to be one of them.
“Operation Wetie, A Gross Political Miscalculation Of Tinubu In Kano
However, before canvassing upon a blackmailing propaganda, for the purpose of removing the PDP from the leadership position of this country by Buhari and his party the APC, Nigerians were living moderately with social and economic comfort and managing the activities of the Book Haram insurgency in terms of insecurity.
Therefore, Buhari’s political government in the present democratic dispensation proved to be so futile particularly to the Nigerian masses- a very convincing reason that induced the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) under the able leadership of professor Ango Abdullahi and people like Buba Galadima and Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad to openly criticised, condemned and reacted violently for his re- election in the 2019 presidential election.
Buhari and APC could have lost the election had it been he had contested with a credible candidate other than Atiku Abubakar Turakin Adamawa, whose alleged social habits/characters have seriously affected his political career in the religiously dominated Nigerian environment. And for PDP to succeed in the 2023 vengeance presidential election, it must present a popular and most credible politician who will be acceptable to all Nigerians.
While almost all Nigerians masses are busy lamenting with anguish and crying bitterly for abject poverty, hunger and starvation, very hard conditions of living, unemployment to the teeming Nigerian youth, terrible insecurity of Boko Haram insurgency, Bandits, kidnappers and the Rapists which have made farming, schooling and internal traveling by road very difficult and in some cases very fearful and impossible.
But Buhari and his APC led federal government which has been widely accused for being consumed and enveloped by pandemic corruption, saboteurs, liars and mentally incapacitated propagandists with low intelligent quotient (low I.Q.) is busy presenting Nigerians with a comedy programme -of party membership renewal exercise for APC. The (low I.Q.) propagandists of the party have shamelessly aligned themselves to an insane propaganda -saying that millions of Nigerians have renewed their registration with APC and that the party is ready for the 2023 presidential election.
The massive number of Nigerian masses who voted Buhari and his party, the APC into the political power based on sympathy and higher expectations for change for the better Nigeria, were unanimous with a strong belief that only a person who suffered from a chronic schizophrenia or a somarfotom disorder will vote for Buhari and his party the APC because of the prevailing disasters and disappointments experienced by the Nigerians under the leadership of General Muhammad Buhari and his party the APC.
The General Muhammad Buhari his party the APC were suspected of planning to do what they did in Kano and IMO States respectively in the 2019 governorship elections.
In Kano for instance, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf of PDP won the election with an open merging of more than 26,000 votes but the victory and mandates were shamelessly robbed and confiscated in a brazen day light robbery which Nigerian courts from election tribunal to supreme courts had reaffirmed and adapted this act of open injustice meted to Kano people.
Similarly in IMO State, the candidate Hope Udozomma who placed 4th position after the count of votes by INEC but Nigerian Supreme court under the guidance of Abdullahi Tanko Muhammad the Chief Judge of the Federation surprisingly declared him the winner of the governorship election in IMO State.
Buhari and his APC led federal government have underestimated the resilience and power of Nigerian masses and have completely ignored the unpredictable nature of Nigeria.
Finally, the APC as a political party will surely be voted out of power by Nigerians in the year 2023 general elections through a revolutionary voting exercise but the means and methods to be used in its power termination and be chased out of ASO VILLA is just unpredictable!!!
