Call him whatever you want, but no Nigerian leader in our most recent democracy has exemplified true respect for democracy and its institutions like President (Major General) Buhari has.

He threw his hat four times into the ring when he sought to be Nigeria’s President. There could have been other means, but he chose the democratic one.
When the results in the first 3 times were skewed against him, & he felt cheated, he approached the democratic institution of the courts to seek redress. They did not upturn the elections in his favor, he accepted the loss. There were other means but he chose the democratic one.
He continued steadfast and threw his hat again in the ring till his eventual victory in 2015.
@MobilePunch Newspaper does not believe in democracy half as much as Major General Buhari does.

As a democratically elected leader he has proven to be more democratic than the so called democrats before him. No Governor has been kicked out of office in a charade under him, in fact he has worked with the opposition in a way that no one can tell the difference ...
... between who is APC/PDP. He has respected the NASS as an independent arm of government - despite having a notorious and unruly leadership in his first tenure. He never once sought to upend its leadership in any undemocratic way, the fashion of those who came before him.
Under this General, institutions are allowed to do their work, and not tele-guided. PUNCH have a deeply formed hate for President Buhari, the rearrest of Sowore by the DSS - which has nothing to do with President Buhari - has given them a reason to go rogue.
Like it is said, if everybody likes you, you’re doing it wrong.
