There’s this fable about an elephant who had been terrorizing a community. The people then decided to make him the King so that he might probably stop giving the community hassles.
But then, the community was wise enough to have sunken a ditch below the enthronement platform.
The people were singing,
Ao m’erin j’oba
Eweku ewele
Ao m’erin j’eba
Eweku ewele
Erin to dade owo
Eweku ewele
Erin to t’epa Ilene
Eweku ewele
The elephant, too, was dancing!
When the elephant was to be crowned, he fell into the ditch.
Of course, the people did the needful.
Buhari would have been better as a serial aspirant. His becoming president is his greatest undoing. It has shown he knows nothing about administration.
Unfortunately, the people are yet to do the needful!
