BUHARI, THE INVISIBLE - Poem

Buhari is doing the impossible
Touching the Nigerian "Untouchables"
Who are they some would say?
Benefactors of grace who refuse to pay
Living above the law with wanton impunity
Stashing from nation's wealth with perpetuity.

OBJ believes Nigeria is his
To do as he whimsically wills
Weilding his pen and a PhD of Science
He writes to intimidate all to compliance
But PMB's refusal to endorse Mambilla
Has Baba O wanting him out of Aso Villa.

IBB has always felt uneasy
What with his '84 coup-de-tat effizy
He tried a comeback through politics
Got rejected for his "evil genius" antics
Grudgingly he now sits back in the shadows
Manipulating strings of many in sorrows.

TY Danjuma's another of statesmen
Whom of old executes ethnic agenda via hidden statements
All this while, none dare say so
Until the Lion King boldly said "No."
Now, he calls on his ilks "Take up arms!"
Not in defense of nation, but his target, his terms.

Atiku wants to be president by all means
Jumping camps, parties, striking up deals
Even threatening to stop an omen
Second best he remains, forget his biz acumen
Tracking this Wizzy requires due, diligent process
Intel indictment makes him embittered, regardless.

Poor soul, rich in cultural diversity
Bedeviled with ethnic, religious animosity.
Most populous, yet lacking patriotism
A country fraught with .........
Heartless corruption has taken residence
In minds, so real it needs no proof or evidence.
