POWER PLAY

ASO ROCK POWER PLAY

        BY AGADA IKECHUKWU

When will morning come? This is the recurring question on the lips of many Nigerians based on the unabated political media razzmatazz that had greeted the medical vacation of the president. The answer is very soon. My answer is predicated on the biblical injunction that says “ No matter how dark the night may appear, joy always comes in the morning”.

The political semantics deployed by some desperadoes within the presidency to retain power by hook or by crook for 2019 permutations can be likened to the prodigal son who wanted his share of his father’s properties at all cost while his father is alive but ended up wasting them. This goes to say that desperadoes are wasters and should be rejected.

With all due respect, I struggle to understand why Mr President had chosen to address Nigerians during the Eid-El-Fitr celebrations in “Hausa Language” and via a voice message. Does this mean that the President health status is so bad that he cannot appear on a live television broadcast based on the repeated assurances from his media aides that he is fast recuperating and will soon return. Since he transferred power to the Acting President through the provision of section 145(1) of the 1999 constitution as amended, what stops him from passing across the message to Nigerians on his behalf? Why should a message meant for Nigerians be communicated in hausa language? Has hausa language been adopted as the official “Lingua Franca” in Nigeria in place of “English Language”, without recourse to due process. Why did Mr President had to wait this long before addressing Nigerians without doing such when his voice was needed, mostly to caution the misguided “Northern Elements” that was threatening war, xenophobia,wax,genocide,ethnic cleansing etc knowing fully well that they will listen and obey him more than the Acting President? Is this another ethnic projection? WHO IS FOOLING WHO?

Pass the biscuit please! The joke is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. This has become a game of chess. It hurts me to interrupt this interesting nollywood movie.

The Sallah audio message was a smart political response to the media speculations that the President wrestles with speech impairment. The schemers have unconsciously exposed their ignorance to the political parasites that have been positioning themselves ahead of 2019. By speaking in Hausa Language,the president’s handlers have demonstrated that they are tribalistic,clannish and have ulterior motive of upholding Hausa Language above other ethnic languages in Nigeria with time. By communicating on a sallah day in Hausa Language, the cabal have said it all: The president recognises only the Hausa Muslims and places more emphasis on religion than governance because such statement never came on May 29 Democracy Day when the whole world longed to hear from him.

If the President is that healthy, why did it take so long for the Presidency to sign 2017 budget considering the“POWER PLAY” over the signatory before the cabal lost the battle to the Acting President who finally signed the budget into law.
Finally, the contradicting and conflicting comments between Laolu Akande the media aide to the Acting President, Garba Shehu and  Femi Adesina the media aides to the President which is a product of the muscle flexing between the Acting President and the Aso Rock cabal is at best most insulting to the intelligence of Nigerians. All this poems and poetry are lines of well executed politics. My honest contribution is that the spokespersons for the President are not helping Nigerians and should desist from double speak. Thank you guys for confusing and deceiving uninformed Nigerians.

The massive role and the sketching of a new Nigeria being piloted by the Acting President should not be distracted by centrifugal interests,perpetual power mongers and enemies of Nigerians. They should know that a leader that has no follower is taking a walk. The political general market of Nigeria hungers for no such people. Wisdom they say is profitable to direct
