YET AGAIN, A MARCH TO ENTHRONE A CERTIFIED SICK ONE AS PRESIDENT

By Leonard Nzenwa

We should not work ourselves up that Bola Ahmed Tinubu embarrassed himself irredeemably during his recent engagement at Royal Institute of International Affairs, London, commonly known as ChatHam House. He had never been the best that Nigeria has offered, neither will he ever be the near-best that Nigeria will propose, politically. The imperialist professionals that packaged the meet are aware of this, but only needed a high-level inter-state conversational touchpoint to broaden stealth effort that would create a rooted enabler to access Nigeria’s’ next president easily. And that Jagaban choreographed mutated imbecility and absolute benightedness during the occasion measures perfectly to this, and to their benefit. The agbado-for-all, cassava-for-the-masses proponent outclassed himself as a clodpole. Certainly, asininity arrived the meet in likeness of a man, and men clapped in unison praising a naked dance of dernier cri.
