It's all beginning to make sense now. When Mr president said it, it's full meaning and import didn't hit home then, the public sense was still numb from the euphoric excitement of the messiah's emergence, but it's all coming together now and the picture it paints is too terrible to contemplate.
When the president declared in America of all places that he'll concentrate on the areas which bagged him the most votes in the election, he wasn't just spit balling, recent events have shown that he meant it.
How else can one describe his deafening silence in the face of continued attack on the innocent and defenceless by rampaging herdsmen? Nigerians on social media are even beginning to refer to the heartless murderer as 'Buhari's brothers'.
The prevailing perception is that the Fulani are being compensated for their unrelenting support while the victims are the Peters who have to be robbed if Paul is to be given his due.
It is no secret the electorate vote along tribal and religious lines in this country so your guess is as good as mine when it comes to which region, tribe and religion PMB got the most votes from.
The silence of Nigeria's number one citizen and commander-in-chief in the face of one of the most pressing issues of the day can only mean one of three things.
1) He is about to pull a rabbit out of the hat and stun his critics into silence.
2) He just doesn't care
3) He has no idea what to do and so will rather do nothing than make a misstep.
For the sake of us all I hope it's the first but I know where I'm putting my money.
