The high expectations that characterized the immediate post-election period have overnight ominously given way to clouds of melancholic suspicion and cynicism the angst and fury of which are directed against the president whose seeming aloofness has provided both comfort and temerity to the gangster-style impunity of an increasingly insolent and hubristic Bukola Saraki and his PDP sponsors led by David Mark and the cast of fellow desperadoes whose consistently bad ways were responsible for their repudiation at the polls by the overwhelming majority of the Nigerian electorate.
Surely, any serious government should be worried by the loss of confidence in it on the part of the citizenry and the new Buhari administration ought to be doubly worried that quite early in their mandate, they stand the risk of alienating especially the common man through deeds that may portray them as either untrustworthy or simply irresponsible.
