Three months to the end of his tenure on May 29, President Muhammadu Buhari has come face to face with the reality of transiency of power, as governors of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), who once held him up, almost as a deity, who could do no wrong, have effectively started a rebellion against him over the currency redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in an apparent choice between the old regime and new or future.
It is few days to the February 25, 2023 presidential and national assembly elections, and a few more to the March 11 governorship and state assembly polls, and Buhari, who is running out of time, appear determined to leave credible elections as positive legacy. But his effort appears to have run into troubled waters, with governors of his party up in arms against him; an indication that the ruling party has become a house divided against itself.
