A lot of Nigerians are beginning to understand that GEJ/PDP was not the problem of Nigeria and Buhari/APC is not the solution.
Buhari’s govt made so much noise about presenting ‘zero budget.’ He also took 6 months of his time to select his ‘angels’ – people he feels that can perform wonders with him.
Their first outing as a team was to present a budget. They made history by being the first govt to investigate their own budget instead of defend it.
In all this distraction and clueless-ness, Buhari claims ignorance. He claims not to know what he read on the floor of Senate. He blames the ‘Budget mafia’, GEJ and everyone but himself. The same way he’s going to blame someone else for the nonsense contracts he has been signing as he shuttles around the world.
That is his antic – blaming others for his mess.


In 1970s he claimed not to know how $2.1 billion disappeared from NNPC account and was found in Midland bank, London.
In 1984, he claimed not to know about the coup that ousted Shagari. He lied he was invited to lead Nigeria after the coup succeeded, whereas he was one of the leaders of the coup, just as he was also part of the coup that ousted Gowon and the counter-coup that killed Ironsi.
In 1998, he claimed not to know how N25 billion disappeared from PTF account which he headed. He blamed everybody but himself.
In 2015, he feigned ignorance about the location of his landed property in Rivers State.
In 2016, he is feigning ignorance about how N1 trillion was padded in the budget.
That is how he'll be feigning ignorance and blame his way to 2019. Nigeria was designed by the British to fail, otherwise a man like Buhari shouldn't be anywhere near Aso Rock. He should be a mere visitor, not occupant.
