In politics as in war, the first victim, we are told, is the truth. I also came across a saying that politicians, if they tell the truth at all, most likely do it by accident or they do it by mistake.
A few small truths appeared during the last week amidst the avalanche of lies, or to be honest with them, half-truths that the tsunami defeats of the APC politicians extract at Senate and House As soon as the long-awaited defection was announced, at least 15 senators from the All-Progressive Congress and a significant number of members of the House of Representatives defected or deserted. The loyal members of the party have typically taken away the strident denial. Not a denial of the defection, but the fact that this exodus of their party to the Democratic Party of Peoples (PDP), the opposition, would have no effect on the presidential election. Senator Ita Enang, the president's special adviser on issues of the National Assembly, confidently baderted that some of the defectors had badured him that they would work for President Buhari and would even vote for him in the National Assembly. ;National Assembly. presidential election. His optimism may prove to be not premature. But by the time he uttered these words, shortly after the defection, and in the heat of the drama, no one could have given him such badurance. But he was perfectly right in living in denial and even in half-truth. It was perhaps psychologically opportune to give such badurance, even if it was not true, to calm the tired nerves.
But the most honorable thing, in my opinion, was for him to have taken the path already outlined by the president himself. President Buhari was more magnanimous. He wished those who decamped all the best. He said that he did not blame them either ill will or ill will and that he was sure that they had nothing against him personally or against his administration.
The President could not have forgotten so soon that his new party, the APC, generously took advantage of the exodus of the PDP defectors in a similar manner and when that mattered most. In the 2015 presidential election, deserters, led by governors from five states, made the difference for his electoral fortunes. The reaction of President Buhari was indeed the straight line to the toe, a line of reconciliation, hoping that perhaps, perhaps, there would be a change of heart. But this presidential wisdom was not within the reach of the party hawks who, to show their loyalty, resorted to insults and insults.
Recall that on the day of the defection, police besieged the residences of Senate Speaker Bukola Saraki and Senate Vice President Ike Ekweremadu, apparently to prevent them from attending the Senate session this morning . But the plot failed. Senator Saraki had snuck out of his residence and had gone to the National Assembly early enough to preside at the plenary session where he had announced the names of those who had defected. The police washed their hands of the mess, saying that they did not allow the siege. Not quite a tidy story.
Other notable party leaders reacted with such illogical inferences with half-truths and even fabrications. Some took the war on social networks to denounce the rebels who had toppled the table against the APC. At the head of the pack was the new party chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiohmole, the former combative president of the Nigerian Labor Congress, NLC.
He said, not quite honestly, that he could not be bothered by the defection. "The party I have the privilege of chairing is not at all worried, we are not bothered, I will not miss my sleep," he said.
But we know that he is worried. It is the mark of good and responsible leadership, to worry and to seek a solution. And no one will believe anyone who says cavalierly that this exodus, for some reason – egotistical, altruistic and even patriotic – does not and can not hurt the president
Make this fake claim the high horse of the # The arrogance is even to say that President Buhari, in addition to all the noble qualities attributed to him, is also a superman. Or that he is completely devoid of human feeling. If that's true, then he's not a politician. How can a politician not feel it even if it is only a partisan who leaves his camp? A man with a voice is a valuable badet to the applicant for the vote.
If, as these hawks claim, this defection is a good riddance, then why did the security agents go through elaborate conspiracies and cons-conspiracies to trap? Saraki and his deputy to capture them or prevent them from decamping? If really those who should worry do not miss sleep, why pamper him as a spoiled child or man who recites his daily faith testament.
More than any other, it is the president who should lose his sleep. It is his election that is at stake. His managers should therefore be honest enough to tell him that there is fire on the mountain and if that can not be extinguished, nothing should be there. aggravate.
Or are we simply unable to learn a lesson from the past? ? Faced with a similar situation in 2013-2014, arrogant people surrounding President Goodluck Jonathan, including Bamanga Tukur of PDP, continued to make sure that it was not necessary Worry even though it was clear to an occasional observer that he was soon going to fall singing his political swan song.
Today, experts, to convince President Buhari that there is no need to worry, are deploying dubious figures from states potentially winnable. Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, the managing director of the Muhammadu Buhari Presidential Campaign Organization, said the president, badured of his perpetual cult worship, would easily win the Sokoto, Kano and Bauchi states even though from his sick bed, no attempt was made. 39 update the Kwankwaso factor in Kano or the Tambuwal factor in Sokoto
Festus Keyamo, the activist advocate, who manages the advertising machinery of the campaign organization, said that from the comfort zone of Buhari in Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, The states of Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Yobe and Niger with a total of 30 million registered voters, the 30 million votes, give or take , are guaranteed. You may think that it is a childish and extravagant proposal devoid of any logic. But is it important?
The presence factor is an advantage. But even this advantage, given the current situation in the country, must be given a cautious qualification. And this is even more important now, given the unfortunate insecurity issues that have refused to disappear.
And this is not a comfortable story in the Southwest Zone, which will ultimately play a determining role. The major collective demand for the area – restructuring – has not been addressed or even acknowledged. But do not worry, says Keyamo, whose confidence is heightened by the fact that the five Southwest states, with 14 million voters, without exception, will all vote for the President because all five states are controlled by APC.
