Throughout his term in office, Buhari had cultivated the demeanour of a Third World Monarch, above the fray, and above the law, with a penchant for ignoring court orders.
It has usually been on the pretext of safeguarding the country’s ‘national security’. An ultimately futile effort since the nation’s security has never been more fractious, more fragile and more highly contested than it has been since the All Progressives Congress took power in 2015.
It is thus ironic that while there has been widespread jubilation for the judgment in the region, a core of the political elite there would rather keep him in jail at least, for now. The Buhari regime is likely to oblige them in a combined effort to shore up the state from his corrosive influence as they see it.
