I have been dreaming of a Muhammadu Buhari presidency since 1998. I have had to endure taunts and indignation from friends and readers who tackle me over Buhari’s habitual inflammatory public statements. My faith in Buhari is based on one plank: here is an honest and disciplined leader who will not steal our money. However, Buhari’s latest ethnocentric outburst over Boko Haram does not sound right in my ears. For someone who wants to be president of 250 ethnic groups, Buhari is not carrying himself as a statesman at all. He can’t afford to talk like Junaid Mohammed or Edwin Clark.
