Buhari, the Burden of Power, and… maybe the Kindness We Never Saw.

What if Buhari wasn’t trying to be loved but to carry out the hard, thankless work no one else dared to do? I still wrestle with his failures- economic hardship, repression, and disconnection but watching his daughter speak of his kindness made me ask: can a man be gentle in private and ruthless in power? This is my attempt to make sense of the paradox.
