OBJ is working against PMB but his son is working for PMB. Sen. Obanikoro who once worked for Fayose is testifying against him in court while his son is contesting under APC in Lagos. Atiku was once a ranking member of APC and friends with PMB and now his top opponent.

So, as you propose and oppose, attack and defend, promote and challenge, praise and castigate the candidates, politicians and their political parties, remember there’s life after elections. The politicians, winners and losers alike, will move on and realign themselves as they seek to share the levers of power among themselves. Be careful so you do NOT make new enemies (we all have enemies at every point) or damage long-standing friendships because of politics.

Politics is a profession and an industry. Those who play on that turf know the rules and the tricks of the game. As Americans say, if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. So, leave the game for the professionals to play and just watch and make your comments. Like good Arsenal and Chelsea fans, watch the game, root and pray (if you wish) for your team, and drink beer together or Green Tea, as my brother Gbenga Aruleba did last Saturday (and does whenever Saturday happens,if you know what I mean).

Most importantly, get your PVC, if you haven’t, and plan to get to the polling unit where you registered and actually vote. Vote for the candidate of your choice and make sure the vote counts. And please, please stop fighting on Social Media. The folks you fight for do not notice and, even if they do, they do not care and, even if they care, it won’t matter.
