This means discarding Buhari’s perennial threats and relentless belligerence. Instead of the stern threats of a parade ground commander, the new leader will hopefully offer us the candor of civilised speech in the language of ‘one of us’.Ībove all else, the next leader will have to explore the limitless possibilities and elastic benefits of dialogue to restore peace, security and stability. Where Buhari has been reluctant to talk to us, the next president will replace arrogant silence with soothing compassion and expressed empathy. Where Buhari has remained distant and aloof, the next president is likely to draw near, reach out and touch the people. The next president will harvest national and international acclaim by doing something that requires little or no effort: just being different from Buhari. He has unconsciously scripted a higher popularity rating for that lucky successor.
In one respect, President Muhammadu Buhari may have worked so hard to prepare his successor for the acclaim that has so far eluded him.
