Opinion: President Buhari’s dwindling popularity

by @NGRWailers

According to the Twitter poll conducted by the Nigerian Wailing Wailers via its Twitter Handle @NGRWailers , its seems all the sentiments President Buhari has been enjoying since the commencement of his tenor has wither down the drain.

The results of the poll may not be unconnected with the reality of economy crush and hardship faced by Nigerians under Buhari.

Nigerians have been complaining of Mr. Buhari’s style of governance which is not yielding any useful and desired economic impact on the citizens, it seems citizens are now more poorer than under the Government of ex-president Jonathan they rejected at the poll in 2015.

Many Nigerians and international observers have doubted the sincerity of Buhari corruption fight which was the main fulcrum of his campaign prior his emergence as Nigeria’s president.

Mr. Buhari has been seen to be fighting only the opposing voices rather than taking a holistic approach in his anti corruption stance.

Another frustration and betrayal Nigerians faced with Mr. Buhari is his lopsided appointments of Northern majority into his cabinet and other key sectors of the economy, Mr. Buhari is an Hausa/Fulani from Nigeria’s Northern region.

His outburst during a Live television programme where he was quoted saying he can’t give the 97% voters who gave him bulk votes and those of minority south with about 5% votes same treatments. These statements have further polarized a fragile democracy of Nigeria.

Nigerians irrespective of their regions are now calling for the removal of President Buhari at all cost as the most populous African nation seems to be stagnant economically without any hope of solution in sight.

Economists have now adjudged the biggest economy under former President Jonathan as a nation sliding into recession in less than two years leadership of Buhari.

Social Media is agog with the narratives of Buhari’s antecedent of 1984 where he almost ran the country aground under 18 months before he was successfully kicked out via a military coup.

Although Boko Haram did not start under the leadership of Buhari but the spate of killing in the North Eastern Nigeria has not stopped, Fulani Herdsmen militia who many have suspected to be Boko Haram in disguise have migrated to Southern Nigeria and are on a killing spree without any decisive actions by President Buhari.

Anguish and Poverty has almost doubled due to some unworkable policies introduced by President Buhari and his team.

These few reasons highlighted above may not be unconnected to how the voters in the Wailing Wailers poll voted.

See result below.
