“Ayo Olukotun’s write-up in his column on Friday, June 19, 2015, entitled, Buhari on his age factor, is interesting. I am not surprised at the apparent snail pace of President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
This has nothing to do with his age.

I am a student of cosmic science and the cosmic indication on the swearing-in date indicated a flat-footed action by whoever was sworn in on May 29, 2015.
Even if former President Goodluck Jonathan had won and was sworn in as president for another term, the same scenario would have played out.
However, Nigerians should expect a change of pace in the first week of August and will hit the ground running first week in October. He may face a serious obstacle around the first week of December 2015.” Ayo Olukotun in the article titled “Buhari on his age factor” says that there is hardly a better way to demystify a vociferous opposition than to give it power.
The author adds that an opposition party enjoys the luxury of imagined possibilities, an alluring innocence, and a vista of counterfactual beckoning of how much different things would have been if it had been at the driving seat.
“Once it takes office however, its toga of assumed superiority, and its halo of knowing it all, quickly wears thin; it will now be judged not by the ability to rhapsodise about the coming utopia but by the capacity to solve problems, and allay distress,” he states.
In his article Olukotun notes that it is premature to expect wonders in the economic circumstances under which the APC took office. Once Buhari remarked: “I wish I became head of state when I was a governor just a few years as a young man, now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do.”
