President Buhari has clearly shown that he belongs to somebody

"I belong to everybody. I belong to nobody." That was the golden
statement or word on marble credited to President Muhammed Buhari,
GCFR as part of his Inauguration Speech on the day of his Inauguration
on Friday May 29th, 2015 at Eagle's Square, Abuja.

With that particular statement, among other highlights of his
Inaugural speech, the nation that has been put in a reverse-gear and
in a state of despondency suddenly seemed to be revived and had her
hope rekindle that her tomorrow would be better and alright.

But some of us with the eyes of the Spirit by God's grace, refused to
be cajoled by that statement. The contents of our rejoinder titled
"President Buhari Belongs to Somebody", widely published online and by
national newspapers like The Punch and The Sun, say it all.

In that article, we debunked that particular statement and remarked
that the President actually belongs to the North (especially the
Hausa/Fulani) where he hails from and his party- All Progressives for
Change -APC (the party that produced him as its presidential
flag-bearer).

But some distrust Nigerians, including a well-respected Man of God who
is an ardent supporter of Mr. President found it difficult to be on
the same page with us on the views expressed in that article. Although
this writer is also a supporter of President Buhari but definitely not
a blind supporter or follower.

I belong to a section of supporters who still have their eyes
wide-open and regularly points out the pit-falls that the new
administration may not be conscious off. And true to the prophetic
insight clearly expressed in our rejoinder then by God's grace, the
President has begun to come up with his sets of appointments which
clearly show where he belongs- the North.

President Buhari rattled everybody including his Party-Chieftains whom
God used to work for his good success at the presidential polls
against all odds.

The clear-cut lopsidedness in the recent appointments into boards of
parastatals and key sectors of the Economy and the security apparatus
have left no-one in doubt of where President Buhari's spirit, soul and
body belong- the North with a particular reference to the Hausa/
Fulani.

This unfolding scenario seems to have left the Ruling Party (APC) to
be dumb-founded and rattled. No one is sure of the President's next
move. Not even his presumed Chief Advisers or handlers from the South-
West could predict him.

He has clearly shown to them that the statement in his inaugural
speech credited to him was just a political statement to cool down the
nerves of Nigerians and the tension in the land then. And if anybody
still chose to believe that statement, that person may still be living
in a fool's paradise and may have refuse to awake and see the
realities on the ground.

Consequently, the President's high popularity rating at his
Inauguration period has began to drop. And anybody that thinks
otherwise must be an UFO (Unidentified Foreign Object) living in
another planet other than the earth.

But for these shortcomings- lopsidedness in key political and
military/security appointments, pockets of extreme cases of religious
intolerance, inability to find lasting solutions to the Niger-Delta
militancy/criminality that has spread beyond its region to other
geo-political regions like the South- East and the South- West, the
nation would have heaved a sign of relief of moving in the right
direction towards our Canaan land-our Promised land where Nigeria will
be truly great and occupy her eminent position in the Comity of
Nations.

Despite all these shortcomings, a living dog is still better than a
dead lion when this new administration is compared to the one that
proceeded it- the former President Goodluck Jonathan's led
administration when the economy was in comatose and corruption in high
places seemed to be the order of the day. "For him that is joined to
all the living, there is hope; for a living dog is better that a dead
lion". Ecclesiastes 9:4, KJV

Politics apart, the nation was almost dying before this new
administration came on board and God has used it to inject some life
into it which enabled the nation to escape from our house of bondage
in Egypt, metamorphorically speaking.

But having crossed our Red sea and heading towards our Canaan land,
the nation is currently stranded in the wilderness and hoping for a
new sense of direction except our current set of Moses and Aaron find
solutions to the aforementioned shortcomings and desist from their
current policy of sectionalism and aloofness.

Nevertheless, the good news is that God will never leave this nation
stranded. He will still come to our recuse as we continue to look up
to him.
We can therefore cry for national deliverance using the words of
Psalms 60:1-12, KJV. "Give us help from trouble, for vain is the help
of men".
