In shadows of power, a plan did unfold
Of Islamization whispers, in a nation's hold
Mohammedu Buhari, with actions in the fray
Amidst Nigeria's diversity, a path did sway.
A nation of many faiths, with cultures entwined
Where unity in diversity, like a fabric's design
Alas, the plan faltered, in the people's gaze
As Nigeria's heartbeat pulsed, with pluralistic ways.
May the Almighty God, in judgment supreme
Consider the intent, in a leader's scheme
Of unity or division, in a nation's frame
Where faiths coexist, in Nigeria's complex name.
Buhari's tenure passed, with outcomes to tell
Of governance choices, in a nation's spell
In the court of history, deeds are laid bare
Of leaders' impacts, in Nigeria's plural air.
Nigeria's mosaic stands, with faiths side by side
In diversity's strength, the nation's threads abide
Plans of singular sway, in the end did fail
As unity in multiplicity, in Nigeria's tale prevail.
In the realm of judgment, beyond mortal sight
Almighty God's perspective, in truth's pure light
On leaders' intentions, on deeds done in power's name
In Nigeria's story woven, with threads of faith and claim.
Alas, the plea voiced, in emotion's heavy sway
In the balance of justice, in God's own way
Leaders' hearts and actions, in a higher gaze
In Nigeria's journey onward, through pluralistic mazes.
Stanza 8
So let the nation's future, in unity unfold
With respect for diversity, like threads of gold
In Nigeria's story rich, with many voices told
A path of coexistence, in strength does hold.
In the end, what remains, in history's scroll
Of leaders' choices made, in Nigeria's soul
Of unity or division, in outcomes clear
In God's judgment resting, in a nation's year.
May wisdom guide leaders, in paths yet untried
In Nigeria's plural landscape, where faiths abide
With justice and respect, in governance's art
In unity's pursuit, a nation's beating heart.
