I know Femi Kusa. He is a friend and a classmate. I knew of him from his Daily Times days. Then we met at the University of Nigeria shortly after the end of Nigerian Civil war.

EARLY on Wednesday, February 27, 2019, by 4.40 a.m and four days after the presidential election held in Nigeria on Saturday, February 23, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, announced that Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been reelected Nigeria’s president. What this means is that, if the legal challenge being undertaken by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, comes out unfruitful, the next four years will see Gen Buhari piloting the affairs this country.

Obviously, he does not want to once again mesmerise us with tantalising promises which would only end up advertising his inability to redeem them. He is telling us exactly what to expect so we can brace up for this really tough journey through the wilderness.
