PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI OWES US NOTHING BUT GOOD GOVERNANCE.

President Muhammadu Buhari owes himself a lot for sticking out his neck and campaigning; he owes his supporters a lot for helping him reach the presidency he had sought for and failed for many years. He probably owes his conscience something. And if he cares about it he might owe history and posterity something big.
The truth is that most importantly, the President owes us good governance and no more. However, good governance is mostly in the eyes of the beholder and he should be allowed to go about it the best way he wants.
To achieve his form of good governance he can appoint any of his supporters to any position high or low without reference to his opponents for his opponents may not want him to succeed. He should be advised to be mindful of his new found friends for some of them could be fair weather friends and who could abscond come rain. And move to a sun shine zone.
The opposition does have a job in PMB’s government. They should OPPOSE, OPPOSE and OPPOSE. They should formulate alternative policies; challenge every utterance they find objectionable; prepare to take over should PMB stumble and fall and if he does not fall be ready, come 2019, to force him out at the pooling booths. They could infiltrate his administration to make him fall as if from within; make mockery of policies that are ill-defined; make him to execute the policies they want; etc. That is what the opposition ought to be doing.
I see nothing wrong with PMB starting his corruption probe with his enemies (too strong) his non-supporters for this could have been the reason for opposing him in the first place. If it suits him he could relegate the investigation of Mr. Tinubu, the Asiwaju of Yoruba land, to 2018 or early 2019. They were buddy-buddies when the going was tough.
The President is sticking to self-preservation, which is the first law of nature. All these make sense to me. Those who did not work should not reap.
