SOME compatriots say we wouldn’t know the real man we have as our president until the chickens come home to roost in 2023.
In that year, would President Muhammadu Buhari have removed the veil to succumb to the current sacrilegious clamour to go for a fatal tenure extension? Would he have given in to calls to trash the Constitution so he can walk on the slippery ground euphemistically termed third term?
Would he be the Buhari of the wailers? Or of the hailers? In 2023, is Buhari going to remain the man we’ve always known as our beloved president? Or a stranger foisted on us? Would he be the bride we didn’t pay a price for? Would the husband discover he’d been shortchanged at the point where only God would be the Unseen and Silent Onlooker? Would there be a supplanter at work?
I disagree that time will answer these posers. We don’t have to wait for 2023. We have the answers already. All we need to do is to be careful not to consume script on offer that would consume us in return. So what are we being given to satisfy our curiosities on Buhari’s third term theories?
