We cannot pretend not to know that the Obama-led govt was instrumental to the ascension of Buhari to the presidential throne and have continued to aide and abet every hate-induced killing carried out by the govt including the continued clampdown on the Biafran group. Few weeks ago, Obama's Secretary of state John Kerry came to Nigeria and flew straight to sokoto where he had a meeting with the leader of Nigerian Muslims, the Sultan of sokoto and Northern governors and later flew back to his country without remembering that there are southerners and Christians in Nigeria. The U.S. govt didn't stop there. The Obama govt immediately went ahead to invite only the northern governors to the White House. This very divisive and highly provocative action by the White House implies a lot. A betting man would bet that even if Trump presidency does nothing else, it will not toe this same divisive line in dealing with a multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country like Nigeria. And as it happens, I am a betting man.
So when you decide to play the ostrich by pretending not to know why the PDP, southerners, Christians and the Biafran agitators are rejoicing
