OPINION: President Buhari, Aisha, Daura etal time to take caution in the interest of family life and nation
Olapade Agoro
It becomes apt to say that the narrative of life of a family can be reasonably compared to that of a nation being built up. The necessity of observing duty of care in the running of both a family and that as well a nation being built becomes compelling if non reparable damages must be prevented.
The fact we all must take note of is that as at presently constituted President Muhammadu Buhari is the symbol representative of the embodiment called Nigeria.
What however cannot be divorced from the President is his family and attachment. It behooves to mention that when President Buhari’s home is terribly sick, the whole nationhood of Nigeria cannot be spared of it.
The running episodes on the nation’s news papers alarmingly claiming among others that “Aisha’s attack on Buhari’s Aide unsettles Presidency” “Disquiet in Presidency as Aisha Buhari bombs Garba Shehu” et al at a time the nation is having so many problems must be enough to heat up the nerve centers of right thinking people of this nation informing that all is not well with us. That the national center of attraction is not holding any more with the first family in rumbles of distraction, must be a matter of concern beyond our mere conjectures.
There is no doubting the fact that the nation’s first family having more than ordinary squabbles must be putting more than expected pressures on the thinking and or mental faculty of Mr. President.

Although, President Buhari presently in far away Egypt among his African pals attending the programme of ASWAN Forum on Peace and sustainable Development in Africa must be feeling worried and ruffled getting news that his family and home are not at peace but in disarray.
It becomes apposite for one to say that since one cannot give what one does not have; President Muhammadu Buhari cannot work out peace for Africa that eludes his own home.
One of the embarrassing streaming by-line of one news paper reads that “Aisha Buhari attacks Mamman Daura , Garba Shehu must be telling the whole world that the pillars of support of Muhammadu Buhari’s presidency are getting axed beyond reparable level. This can pose a lot of irreparable damages to the methodical engineering of the nation’s presidency.
With President Buhari now facing type of Omoyele Sowore hot charcoal intransigency, adding that of Aisha Buhari to it will do us no good. The best way out of the problem is for President Buhari to please play the type of mind settling game Hillary Clinton wife of Former US President Bill Clinton played when at a critical time of her life she was confronted with her husband infidelity.
Although, the great Nigerian Mammam Daura was a bone marrow in the life of Buhari’s Presidency, yet there lies the fact must be faced that there is no way he and or anybody can reasonably replace Aisha in the life of Muhammadu Buhari. The best way out of this family quagmire is for the wisdom of those surrounding President Buhari like Mammam Daura, Abba Kyari and Boss Mustapha to please do not deprive a sucking baby the right to his mother’s breasts if peace and decorum must prevail.
Aisha’s inalienable right to Muhammadu Buhari must be seen sacrosanct and totally different to Muhammadu Buhari Presidency if peace must reign within and without.
