Senator Abdul Fatai Buhari Ph.D: Symbol of Modesty And Candour !! By Idris Ismail

“SENATOR ABDUL FATAI BUHARI PH.D: MASTERY, CANDOUR AND MODESTY WELL BLENDED.

I listened to the interview of the distinguished Senator Abdul FATAI BUHARI with ISAAC BROWN on FRESH FM this morning and I was dazzled and humbled. I am sure, I am not alone in this experience. The interview rekindles our hope that the masses can still bear majiyagbe. That Oyo state is after all, not bereaved of quality leadership material.

What exactly did I see in Senator Fatai Buhari?

I saw a man who demonstrated amazing mastery of governance, competence in fact presentation and data utilisation. Just look at his contemporaneousness
‘Isu FATAI omo BUHARI to yan‘.

I saw a man with candour in approach, articulacy in speech and with stunning eloquence. He attended to all questions like a skillful footballer on a pitch of play. ‘Gaskiya b’omo eni ba daa ka wi a o ni fi s’aya‘.

I saw a man with large heart. Three trailers of rice already distributed in his constituency without media frenzy. The media has to discover this itself . With this rare breed politician, I sincerely think the Lord has not forgotten Oyo state. ‘DAJU DAJU MEKUNU MAGBADUN, OLOHUN MA KO ILERI

I saw a man who is open to accountability and transparency. He openly challenged the media. “Stop flattering us, tell us the truth….” . This is very deep and suggestive of his sincere commitment to accountability and transparency. It is a heavy statement for a would-be tyrant and abuser of accountability. Sadankata, e ti pegede !

I saw a man who is passionate about the state and her citizens. Look at the passion with which he highlighted the carefree attitude of Oyo state Government to Corona virus management. He was concerned . He was embittered . He was feeling it . That is leadership who is connected to feelings and fortunes of his people. ‘IFE MEKUNU N BE LEMI BABA YI‘.

I saw a man who is real , firm and natural . He came in his real person not packaged or branded. He never sounded fake nor appealled to unnecessary or undeserving sympathy or attention. He came in his natural soundness, cerebrum and sagacity.

‘AWON EEYAN NI YI‘

I saw quality leadership material , traits of worthy ambassador and dependable personality. ‘A TOO F’ISE OGUN RAN NI SENATOR FATAI Omo BUHARI‘.

I DOFF MY CAP🎓.
