The
74 year old political leader has made a huge mark in Nigeria with his
name written on the sands of time with gold never to be washed away
easily.
President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari might be sick and probably enduring some
unpopular moments in his political career due to the crises in Nigeria
but he has achieved a milestone in his life.
He has broken the nation's record as the first Nigerian to enter
the English dictionary. He is the first Nigerian to have a political
term - "Buharism" named after him.
According to the Wikipedia, "Buharism is a term rooted in the
politics of Nigeria, referring to the economic principles and the
political ideology of the military government of Nigeria headed by
General Muhammadu Buhari from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985. This
ideology shares common features with fascism; the government was a
right-wing nationalist government that pursued corporatist economic
programs and curtailed personal freedoms. Economic reforms were
characterised as moving the political economy away from the control of a
"parasitic" elite, and into the control of an emerging "productive"
class. Buharism represented a two-way struggle: with external global
capitalism and with its internal agents and advocates."
Buhari is widely hailed as a strong man of integrity who is
cleansing Nigeria of the cancer of political corruption. His faltering
health has constituted a setback but it is hoped that the All
Progressives Congress chieftain and Fulani native will surmount the
challenges before him for the betterment of Nigeria.
