Trump and Buhari are quite similar in how they preyed on the yearnings of the low class to get "elected". The Buhari administration blames the past administrations for every conceivable thing. (And I've seen Trump do the same thing). Whenever Nigeria's current govt is caught red-handed, they reframe the narrative by saying, "This is nothing compared to 16 years of theft by PDP" (the last ruling party) If you've read animal farm, you'll remember how the farm starved under Napoleon's rule. And how Squealer convinced the animals that they actually have more food and better lives than under Snowball and Humans. It's amazing but these guys actually pulled this Squealer move off. But all these pale in comparison Buhari's ultimate move. I don't know how he/they did it. But... His supporters never blame the president - even when they grudgingly admit things are worse. They'll simply say: The president is good. It's just that he's SURROUNDED BY BAD PEOPLE.
