Obj, Atiku and eternal beef


From the Ebora Owu, it’s pretty much the same droning since 2007: how he regretted picking Abubakar Atiku as his running mate in 1999.

For starters, that might be getting wise after the fact.  Did Obasanjo really pick Atiku?  Or was Atiku picked for him, by the “Army Arrangement” (apologies to Fela) that coupled the pair to run, even after Atiku had won the Adamawa governorship?

Even if the Ebora Owu really did pick the Turaki Adamawa, what was Obasanjo expecting, by his latest repetition of that grumble?

That the trio of Catholic Bishop Matthew Kukah, Winners Bishop David Oyedepo and Sheik Abubakar Gumi would again scramble and scuttle to Abeokuta — or Ota — to go arrange another round of begging (temporal and spiritual), for a political god of man to, in his infinite mercy, allow another citizen to exercise his constitutionally guaranteed right to run for office in peace?

And how long would that truce last?  How long did the one put together in 2018, onward the 2019 election, last?

Baba Iyabo should get over himself!  The world does not revolve around him, no matter what, in his huge ego he tells himself; or the hustlers around him tell him.
