If there’s a national malaise from where Nigeria need refabricating, we need to redefine what we really mean when we say that Democracy is government of the people, by the people and for the people. In spite of that though, Muhammadu Buhari has taken clannishness beyond this millennium, rubbishing his quote of belonging to all and to none. And therefore, we need to begin to interrogate the concept of people in the context and course of taking Nigeria forward. At no point has any ethnic Nigerian group laid claims to an exclusive ownership of Nigeria than the way we have it now. For now, because Muhammadu Buhari is President, his people behave like some conquistadors who bestride over a conquered Nigeria.
