Buhari's statement on the heinous Nyanya carnage is commendable, but uncharacteristically Buhari… no doubt as you pointed out, prepared by his spin doctors and image launderers.
It’s a far cry and vast improvement from the gaffe prone General, who is more given to incendiary inanities that further polarize our country and compound our ethno-sectarian schisms.
It is the sort of mature contribution we expect from a former Head of state, particularly one who aspires to be elected president of this multi-religious multiethnic country.
It’s also the sort of statement he should have made in the aftermath of the horrendous 2000 Kaduna Sharia riots, rather than publicly dissent from the NCS directive that Sharia states stand down.
