[s]Rather than uphold the letters of his emergency political gazette, the rejected Godwin Obaseki of Edo state was the first to reduce it to a mere toilet paper when he joined a party he loudly denigrated as ‘a deformed political party led by a dunce’ yesterday.
Driven by his desperation, and banking on a corrupt deal with ‘godfathers’ to force other aspirants into submission, Godwin Obaseki, without any sense of shame, and removing all doubts on his politics of no principles, chanted ‘Power to the People’ in a room packed to the brim at the Secretariat of the PDP.
No one is deceived, this is a marriage of convenience made possible by circumstances. It is the union of a party willing to dip its tongue into a bowl of its own vomit and open its doors to a man it accused and dragged before a court for forging academic certificates and declared unworthy for public office – and a man so blinded by desperation and love for public funds, he is willing to sacrifice what is left of his battered integrity.
His shamelessness aside, also evident from the event was the open disregard of social distancing principles and the violation of the gazette signed by the Governor banning the gathering of more than 20 persons in a single location.
From the grounds of the secretariat, down to the office where Obaseki, voice hoarse and shaky, announced his defection, hundreds of people gathered in tight spaces revealing the hypocrisy of the man who has reduced COVID-19 to a political tool wielded when he intends to target and punish his opponents, or is his desirous of more funds from the treasury.
There are better ways the Governor could have staged his defection. He could travel, discreetly, to the secretariat of the party as he has done for days with bags of cash lodged in his trunk. But he chose a rancorous process, he mobilized and staged a mass gathering because, in his order of importance, vain display of support and popularity ranks higher than public health and well-being of the people.
Any better way to illustrate other than the fact that while he remained protected, to a large degree, with a face shield, the crowd he summoned, paid, and instructed to scream his name was left exposed and possibly returning home with strains of the viral disease?
Obaseki doesn’t care, has never cared, and will never do. But that is already a known fact. And he will be defeated. The remnants of his allies know, but they pretend otherwise. He is a cash-cow, led to the slaughter.
For today, in front of cameras, they raise their fist in a fake display of joy. But in their hearts, they know too well that they have veered into unchartered territory, unprepared and exposed. To borrow from the popular parlance, their masquerade, deserted by its guide, has run into the expressway. They still do not know how to face the people and explain their flip-flop; neither do they have a solution to the problem that is Kenneth Imasuagbon and Ogbeide Ihama, two bonafide and cleared aspirants of the PDP who have threatened legal action.
In the end, they will save themselves and abandon Obaseki to his fate. After all, only a foolish fly follows a corpse into the grave.[/s] OP, Senselessness in your gene.....Idiota Oshiomole's Brother..........You guys are bunch of pained losers |
