Politics and Stomach Infrastructure
<span class="html-content"> <p>This particular political season has been the most interesting yet and promises to get more interesting in the run-up to the 2023 general elections.The choice of candidates, the manner in which they were elected to represent their parties, what the people have to say about it and what they're willing to do about it.</p> <p>Just yesterday, in the wee hours, the APC primary elections were concluded and Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) was announced the winner after the overnight event. Two things were visibly notable during the event. First is how BAT was vibrating like a broken blender, his hands shaking like the ambassador for Parkinson disease. It took BAT more than 20 seconds to flip a page from the script he was reading from.</p><p>Secondly was how most of the candidates were withdrawing their candidacy and throwing their weight behind BAT. In a country where corruption is rife and buying of delegates is normal, we could say BAT is a political genius. While other contestants were buying delegates, BAT was buying his fellow aspirants and by extension their delegates. The move of a master chess player, a seasoned strategist with a touch of genius.</p><p>That being said, it has been proven in history that countries and kingdoms which are ruled by weak and sick leaders are usually plagued by wars and economic mishaps during their reign. The fact that the APC would give its ticket to a man who's so old, we're not even sure of his age as he keeps shrouding it in mystery and secrecy like a Vatican antique makes it obvious that it doesn't mean well for Nigeria and Nigerians. After our almost 8 year stint with Buhari, the party is willing to field another senile ancestor who should be in a retirement home is disappointing to say the least. It is surprising as well as appalling to see much younger candidates who I believe would have more to offer allow themselves be bought off but it shows just one thing. Our political class is guided by greed and not what they can offer to the people and country. There is not a single care for the citizenry. All they care about is their stomach infrastructure.</p> </span>
