Buhari's Lonely Days (THISDAY Newspapers)

For Buhari and his Nigerian compatriots, the much anticipated 2023 presidential election has come and gone. As the nation anxiously awaits an outcome, Mr.

The factions in the party will seek to take control of whatever remains of the party. Tinubu loses the election to any of the other contestants, we may have seen the end of APC as a party. In the run up to a crucial election, the appeal to a ready popular outrage over scarcity of cash becomes a political weapon in the hands of a president that is seen as a serial traducer of the political class irrespective of partisan affiliation. Bola Tinubu of the APC emerges the winner of this election, he would have scored that victory in spite of the clear financial obstacles placed in his way by an incumbent president of his own party. The fangs and red teeth of the political jackals is exposed. Inside the APC on the eve of the presidential election, support for and opposition to Tinubu’s presidential ambition seemed to have swamped devotion to the lame duck Buhari. Tinubu ought to have been running on the performance record of the party under Buhari in the last eight years in power. A spokesman of a ruling party virtually ended up deepening the crisis within the party by dividing the party in power from its leader. He saw no reason why the president of a ruling party should initiate a hostile policy such as the Naira swap crisis on the eve of a general election. But he insisted that he was acting rationally and in the best interests of the nation. Buhari had lost control not only of his presidency but also the choice of his successor. In direct response to the Naira crisis that he deliberately initiated, the reality of political self -interest overwhelmed presidential supremacy.
