I insisted on taking him to the luxury men’s emporium at Nieman Marcus to buy a smart black suit.

Christians, Muslims and those who are neither are hurting because all have been caught in the crossfire.

For the first time since the first legislative election was held in Nigeria under the Clifford Constitution in 1922, the usual divisive factors of religion, geography and ethnicity, did not matter.

I hold the latter view but I have said that if our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, insists on a Muslim/Muslim ticket, I and many others shall stand by him and attempt to defend it as long as his running mate is not an extremist who will undermine the interests of the Christian community.

Instead, the journey to the APC Convention produced the kind of orchestrated confusion that has characterized the past seven years of this second Buhari misadventure.

The next president of Nigeria will not govern only those who voted for him.

Buhari has shown that he has no dog in this fight, no interest. Tinubu must take responsibility to lead by healing.
