Critic, Femi
Fani-Kayode has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to conduct a live television
broadcast to assure Nigerian people that he is well and that he has not fled
the nation’s shores to seek medical treatment elsewhere.
He said the rumours
going round were heartbreaking and disheartening and that Nigerians deserved to
be reassured that they had not been abandoned midstream and that the President
had not been afflicted by Covid-19 or any other debilitating and
life-threatening illness.
“We also need to be
assured that he is indeed Muhammadu Buhari and not Jubril Al Sudani. To say
that it is his style to ignore his people and treat them with contempt at a
time of national crisis is disrespectful, disingenuous and downright insulting.
The Nigerian people deserve a far better quality of leadership than that.
“If he is too sick
to continue as President he should resign and let someone else take over the
reigns of power but if he is well enough to continue he should get off his high
horse, purge himself of his contempt for our people, come clean and behave like
a responsible modern-day leader and not a feudal Arab Sheik or primitive tribal
warlord.
“The Nigerian people
and indeed the entire world are facing an existential threat and the greatest
challenge in their entire history and this is not the time to play games or act
as if all is well and that our house is not on fire,” he said on his Facebook
page.
According to him,
“We need a leader that can inspire, encourage and reassure us and that is
strong, healthy, focused, purposeful, decisive, sensitive, compassionate, alive
to his responsibilities and forward-thinking.
“We do not need a
power-mad, tyrannical, vain and irresponsible megalomaniac and antediluvian
relic who has lost touch with reality, who no longer knows who, what or where
he is and who is suffering from senility, delusions of grandeur, an identity
crisis and the misplaced notion that he is not accountable to God and to the
people.”
