Last week, former Military President Ibrahim Babangida issued a statement which was signed on his behalf by Kassim Afegbua. The statement followed a similar damning riposte from former President Olusegun Obasanjo in January. He scored Buhari very low and concluded that the President should quietly return to Daura in 2019 without seeking re-election. A group had also secured pages in several newspapers and circulated articles intended to reduce the impact of the damning Obasanjo letter on Buhari. Looking at the frenzy in the media and the security circles about the flying letters from OBJ and IBB, one would easily muse: How time flies.
