Buhari’s 800 metre trekking and the melancholy of sadists
By Usman Yahaya
In what appears to be painful to those who were supposed to build constructive criticism against the person of President Buhari, the opposition seems not to be happy with the good health condition of the retired Army General, who fought bare footed to defend the unity of Nigeria.
It is indeed unfortunate that opposition in Nigeria has been reduced to a mere personal allegations rather than attacking policies.
The fat cats, who ate from the benevolence of our hard earned national savings, are now scampering helter-skelter to prove to the world that they are also capable in any physical activity intended to improve strength and fitness.
Shortly after Buhari was spotted trekking from home to mosque on Eid day, other presidential aspirants from the opposition felt disgusted and responded with similar action of muscular exercise in order to reproach his action.
One of them claimed that such an exercise is not worthy of attracting media attention talk less of applauding Mr President. The person in question is same man that shared his pictures on social media eating food with less privilege and taking selfie with destitute in an attempt to play saint and naivety.
The other aspirant is busy creating illusion that he is also hale and stronger than a well trained Lion, and who says he will not only trek for some metres but can also travel across the length of the earth. I wonder if United States of America is also included……
Whatsoever the feelings of the opposition, all I believe is President Muhammadu Buhari is sound and stronger than 2015; he is ever ready and equal to the task of steering the wheels of Nigeria to a safe land of liberty and social justice in 2019.
