INTRODUCTION
In part 1 of this treatise, we commenced our discourse on the definition, plenitude and amplitude of BUHAROCRACY, a new concept of governance from my neologism, thrown up and added into our political lexicon from my own OZEKPEDIA (my own model of Wikipedia, Encyclopedia, Legalpedia, Scholarpedia, Europedia and Smithsoni).
Buharocracy, aside earlier definition and explanation, also signifies government that is janus-faced; duplicitous, inconsistent, and living in self-denial. It pretends to hear no evil; speak no evil; see no evil; and feel no evil. It wallows in blame game, blaming every and any person, including all past governments except itself. It dwells on sainthood and infectious cult-followership that courts fundamentalism and zealotry. More later on Buharocracy, as it is a very wide concept and genre of democracy.
MY ASSESSMENT AND CRITIQUING OF BUHAROCRACY NOT NEW
For those who may erroneously think I have just woken up from a deep slumber to begin to criticize or critique former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, and his poor opaque governance style simply because he has left office, such view is neither correct nor grounded in history.
I started engaging Buhari even under the Military junta, whilst in the trenches, when as a military maximalist and dictator, Buhari unconstitutionally overthrew the democratic government of Alhaji Aliyu Shehu Usman Shagari, the Nigerian President whose cap was longer than his achievements, on the 31st of December, 1983. General Buhari upon assumption of office, churned out repressive, draconian and anti-people Decrees that held Nigeria down by the jugular till he was himself overthrown in a bloodless coup d’etat on 27th August 1985, by gap-toothed, “wily,” “evil genius”, General Ibrahim Badamasi.
Coming nearer home, I had engaged Buhari even whilst campaigning for the presidency as far back as 2014, on the platform of the newly formed APC, regarding his qualification to vie for the office of Nigerian Presidency.
HOW MY NUMEROUS INTERVENTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WERE EITHER COMPLETELY IGNORED, PERHAPS MERELY TOLERATED OR AT BEST HAPHAZARDLY IMPLEMENTED
The following links clearly show when, where, why, and how I serially engaged Buhari on sundry national and international issues, before, during, and after his presidency. Thank God Google does not forget. It does not suffer selective amnesia. It is not like the Bourbons of European history who learned nothing and forgot nothing. Google links show me engaging Buhari, deploying such words and phrases as “Ozekhome faults Buhari”; “Ozekhome warns Buhari”; “Ozekhome advises Buhari”; “Ozekhome blasts Buhari”; “Ozekhome slams Buhari”; “Ozekhome blames Buhari’s Government”; “Ozekhome, Others, Fault Buhari”. Others read “Ozekhome cautions Buhari”; “Ozekhome counsels Buhari”; “Ozekhome tells Buhari what to do”; “Ozekhome profers solution to Buhari”; “Ozekhome points the way forward”; “Ozekhome engages Buhari”; “Ozekhome begs Buhari”; “No to your actions, Ozekhome disagrees with Buhari”; etc, etc. So, I have been playing my little part from my little window and corner-helping to deepen, widen and strengthen our wobbly democracy, good governance, human rights, rule of law and anti-corruption mantra. Have you also done same? Think about it and come on board, if you have not. Below are SOME GOOGLE LINKS culled by OZEKPEDIA, regarding my serial engagements with ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, as to how to make the beleaguered Nigerian project work. Kindly the links, read on and digest. You will understand that no bi today!
