What on earth is Davidic about Buhari? Fani-Kayode asks

I am convinced that President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Mr.
Femi Adesina, has now finally lost his mind. In his latest essay,
titled “The Sons of Shimmei”, he compared Buhari to the biblical
King David, the greatest King that ever ruled Israel.

One is constrained to ask the following question: what on earth
is Davidic about Buhari?

King David was a Spirit-filled believer and a heroic and
courageous child of God whilst Buhari is not.
In what can only be described as a chilling and irresponsible
manner Femi also said that Buhari could have “cut off the heads” of
his opponents, meaning he could have had them assasinated. Gosh.
Jumping Jehoshaphat! What has happened to my old friend? Poor old
Femi.

He has just made a cardinal spiritual blunder.

In this game you must never threaten your opponent with death.
 I shall pray for Femi because I want him to live long and
prosper.

I knew that he was frustrated but I  never knew he is like
this.

The truth is that God alone gives and takes life and whether
they like it or not He guards His own jealously. The Bible says
“touch not my annointed and do my prophets no harm” . Consequently
no-one is intimidated by Femi’s implicit death threat.

One thing is clear though: he ought to be mindful of the fact
that whilst he and his associates are planning to take someone
else’s precious life they may end up losing your own. Examples of
such a course and turn of events are replete in the Holy Bible.

Femi mentioned the great Abishai who was a biblical hero in his
own right and one of David’s strong men and allies.  Abishai
and David’s other strong men were courageous and righteous men who
undertook a noble cause, who shed the blood of evil men and who
fought against tyranny.

To compare members of Buhari’s cabal to David’s strong men is
like comparing Queen Helen of Troy to a Bombay whore.

One is regal and queen-like in all her ways whilst the other is
nothing but a cheap back-street, “short-time”, aids-infested woman
of questionable character and easy virtue.

Femi has done a great disservice to Abisha
By mentioning him in the same sentence as the cabal.

I say this because he was a soldier of truth and a gallant man
of honor.

This is not the case with anyone in Buhari’s cabal. They are the
opposite to Abishai.

They prey on the weak, they destroy the young and they slay the
old, the vulnerable, the defenceless and the weary.

Buhari has no Abishai’s around him. He has no Joab’s and no
Prophet Samuel’s either. He only has the Absalom’s, Haman’s,
Judas’, Dalila’s and Ahitophel’s of this world.

That is the tragedy and weakness of his Presidency. That plus
the fact that he does  does not respect the rights of the
Nigerian people. If he did he would have resigned long ago and
handed over full power to his number two, Professor Yemi
Osinbajo.

Finally Femi wrote “when Buhari returns home some people will
bury their heads in shame”. He is wrong.

The truth is that when Buhari returns home some people will prop
him up and pretend that he is well enough to be President until he
falls sick and goes back abroad again.

That is Nigeria’s biggest burden and challenge today.

Instead of telling us that his principal can kill us all Femi
should consider his many failings and fluctuating health and advise
him to resign honorably.

That is what a real believer and a true man of honor would
counsel his erring and ailing boss to do and not try to intimidate
those of us that are in opposition with blatant ,vulgar and bullish
threats of death and assasination.

Meanwhile I continue to wish both him and his principal well and
we look forward to his eagerly anticipated return from nether
nether land.

The path of blood is a dark and unpredictable one. I advise Femi
not to take it. Meanwhile I continue to wish both him and his
principal well and we look forward to his eagerly anticipated
return from nether nether land.
