The tractor sent to demolish that Abuja house was seen leaving the place at the end of the day. With people booing…
The military elements involved all stood behind one of their own. The combo of the military and northern bond is not a thing to joke about. And they must be tired of all the radarada our politicians have been perpetuating in the name of democracy.
When I pass negative comments on some things, it’s from the mindset of someone that expects more from those in power. Examples are my Lagos’ Speakers long gold chain issue and Aunty Remis call for prayers on Insurgency.
The burden of leadership goes beyond the easy aspect of power concentration that gives access to the jar and a more luxurious lifestyle, it entails taking very hard decisions from time to time. This is why an ostentatious lifestyle is not what the public wants to see. You asked to serve, not just to float around as enjoyment masters or mistresses.
Wike is quoted as saying he would resign if PBAT does not protect him. The PBAT struggling to protect himself?
As much as I see what the military and northerners did there, I blame Wike. You do not go exchanging words with someone inferior to you. Even his fellow Ministers chastised him for doing same.
All the elements involved had already made up their minds that the building will not come down, Wike knew this, perhaps from their body language, and wanted to prove that his authority must supersede theirs…
Think now, did the retired man mobilize boys to the place?
They showed him what they are made of. They will unite for its sake against us any day, anytime, and humbled Wike in the process.
All the one Lere is talking is just a waste of time. At the point Wike took himself down to the place and started calling the young man a f00l, doing àlàyé gọ́tà dọ̀tí on age, education etc, I clearly saw that he had missed it.
I lose a good case like that too. I will let emotions becloud me, and ruin my strategy to defeat what should have been an easy home run.
I can only hope this experience will cause Wike to get a bit more introspective, be more refined, respectful, and cultured with and to his own people, the ones that should have stood by him at this time, but are jubilant because he had arrogantly humiliated many of them over the years.
I come dey pity Wike.
But hey, if he resigns because he feels unprotected by PBAT, that will be okay. That man has been at the corridors of power and with easy access to the jar since 1999.
It might just be the right time to step down. Eyi to je naa to.
I hope Wike can see that he is not only disliked at “home” but is practically hated.
WIKE, THE MILITARY AND PBAT
