CNN’s Fareed Zakaria has mocked the nation’s power vacuum following Buhari’s long absence

Today will make it 84 days since Buhari travelled to London for medical treatments for an unknown illness, the second since he resumed office

While we thought Wizkid and Davido had clap back lines, this CNN’s diss at Nigeria is making rounds online.

Tough-talking CNN journalist, Fareed Zakaria, in his show, GPS, during the GPS Challenge segment of the show last night, asked a mocking question about a certain country whose president has not been in his homeland for months.

Nigeria, of course.

For a country under the brash and topsy turvy leadership of Donald Trump, isn’t this a case of kettle calling pot black?

President Muhammadu Buhari has been away from the country for 84 days on his second medical leave for an undisclosed illness to the United Kingdom.

Just last week, two batches of politicians, first a set of APC leaders and secondly a delegation from the Governors Forum, had gone to London to meet with the President.

They subsequently reported that he was doing okay and is due to return to the country soon.

Two groups have also filed a case in the Federal High Court seeking his removal from office on grounds of being unable to carry out his duties as president.

Unlike his first medical leave which left a temporary vacuum of power at the top, Buhari officially handed over to the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo who has been acting in his capacity since his abssence.

Reports however say there is not much Osinbajo can do as an Acting President and so Buhari’s absence is still being felt in the way the coutry and economy has been run so far.

We used to be the Giant of Africa and now the world makes mockery of us?
