A former military governor of Kaduna State, Col. Dangiwa Umar rtd, has counseled a known critic of President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime, Farooq Kperogi PhD, to take solace in the knowledge that the “president has lost his throne.”
Umar, known for telling truth to power, was reacting to attacks on the U.S. based college lecturer by paid hands of the Buhari Media Support Group (BMSG).
In a text to Kperogi, he used an analogy, quoting Prophet Muhammad; “A special place is reserved in heaven for men of courage like you. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) counsels us to ‘assist a rich person who has lost his wealth, to have pity on a king who lost his throne, and to pity a learned person who lives among illiterates.’ You are dealing with illiterates. Perseverance is key.”

Kperogi in his recent article, Psychoanalyzing Dishonest, Low-IQ Buhari Apologists, said: “Buhari lacked symbolic presence in the 20 months he was in charge. His presence was barely felt in the country. Nor was his voice heard. It took him six months to appoint ministers. Attahiru Jega notified him of the impending expiration of his tenure months in advance, but the president didn’t act, and caused a needless bureaucratic kerfuffle at INEC. A minister died in a car crash several months ago, and he hasn’t been replaced up to now. Another minister resigned to take up an international job. She hasn’t been replaced up to now. The Supreme Court had an acting Chief Justice for months. It took Osinbajo’s acting presidency to forward his name to the Senate for confirmation.”
