Feyi Fawehinmi and The Buyer's Regret

When we complain, the call us wailers.
We understand the load of responsibility and disappointment carried by the likes of Feyi Fawehinlmi. He is not alone. A good many of us agonized for a long time before we finally, despite our scepticism, voted for Buhari. Having repudiated then President Jonathan, it was not an easy decision to make. It was a most difficult leap of faith which has now proven to be without any basis whatsoever. We just couldn't fill the glaring policy blank spaces in Candidate Buhari’s mindset and vacuous statements made during the campaigns.
Having participated in canvassing for votes for Buhari makes the disappointment felt by us "supporters" all the more painful. As a matter of fact it is perhaps only the criticism of this erstwhile reluctant "Sai Buhari" subset that has any likelihood, no matter how remote, of bringing this regime to its senses. The APC is currently so dismissive of the critics from it's PDP "enemies" that there is a zero possibility that it can even reach out for a life vest thrown by that group. It is as bad as that.
Truth is that many commentators, without excusing any of Jonathan's shortcomings, pleaded caution. The expression Hobson's Choice came in handy. I hereby refer to the writings by Abimbola Adelakun in The Punch in the run up to the elections. She warned us. But we had to quickly make a decision one way or the other. We are now stuck with the consequences of our choice. . .Yes, change they call it.
