President Muhammadu Buhari is a Fulani from Daura in Katsina State. A retired Major-General who coveted democratic power after truncating democracy in the early 80s for the sake of power and its appurtenances. In December 1983, aided and abetted by other professional coup-plotters , Generals Ibrahim Babangida, Domkat Bali and the late Joshua Dogonyaro and Sani Abacha, Gen. Buhari had overthrown a democratically-elected President, the late Shehu Shagari, citing corruption and national salvation.
Under Buharism Nigeria has lost her 'innocence' as perfidy, disunity, terrorism and immorality prevail. No one is safe any more, on the streets or even at the home front. Even in Buhari's Katsina State his 'brother's and 'sisters', like the rest of us, are living dangerously, challenged on a daily basis by combined forces of misery, insecurity and despair.
The virulence with which critics call out the regime bears certain hallmarks of a patriotic duty. Yet Buhari and his handlers have demonstrated their impervious disposition towards suggestions on the way forward. Genuine calls for the President's voluntary resignation or his impeachment by the National Assembly have been mounting here and there.
The latest group to register their displeasure with Buharism were the Hausa youths who accused the President of running an ethnic Fulani agenda to the detriment of the interest of all and sundry, including the Hausas. They asked him to resign or the National Assembly to initiate impeachment procedure against him.
"To promote fairness, equity, unity or oneness of the country" they reasoned the region that has not produced the President for the nation before should, of priority, be considered. And the people referred to are no other than the Igbos. Let a President of Igbo extraction be elected, come 2023, to heal the land and undo the damage Buharism has inflicted on the nation.
