Gbenga Adeboye And The APC Masquerade

By Bayo Adeyinka

Thirteen years ago, Gbenga Adeboye passed on to eternity. He was laid to rest in May 2003.

An indigene of Ode-Omu in Osun State, he is known for several rib-cracking jokes and his radio programme on the then OGBC 2 FM Station had everyone in the South West glued to their radio sets for the duration of the show.

One of the best stand-up comedians from this country, Gbenga Adeboye once shared a joke about a white tourist that came to Abeokuta during the Masquerade festival. As he took the 'Oyinbo' man round the ancient city, they came across a masquerade performing magical acts on the street. His drummers eulogized him as follows:

"You can't do like your father
Or can you do like your father? If you can do like your father
Stand on your head and dance".

In response, the masquerade stood on his head and danced and everyone hailed him.
.
Suddenly, the drummers changed the drum beats:

"If you can do like your father
Do many acrobatic display in a jiffy"

In response, the masquerade did several acrobatic displays to the admiration of everyone who shouted and hailed him. But the drummers were not finished yet.

They beat the drums again:

"If you can do like your father,
Let someone bring out his gun
And shoot you and you must not die"

As if on cue, a young man stepped out from the crowd with his dane gun aimed at the masquerade. The masquerade was unperturbed. The crowd went into a frenzy as they shouted, 'Shoot'.

In defiance, the masquerade also approached the man with the gun and screamed, 'Shoot me'.

"Gbuaaaa!", the dane gun boomed. There was silence in the crowd.

But the masquerade did not fall but rather kept on dancing. There was another shot, "takooo" but the masquerade shook himself and danced more vigorously.

The singers and drummers kept hailing him in 'nines' and 'tens' ( ni mesan, ni mewa). The drummers changed the beat as they erupted in the masquerade's praise:

"We shouldn't envy a child because he resembles his father.

This masquerade resembles his father too much
We shouldn't envy a child because he resembles his father."

The white tourist became so excited! He had never seen anything like this before. "Oh I love Africa. This is beautiful", he said. Excitedly, the white man brought out his own pistol so as to test the masquerade.
He walked towards the direction of the masquerade with his pistol drawn while everyone hailed the masquerade and urged the oyinbo to shoot. On seeing the white man, the masquerade quickly called his "atokun" (the person who controls his movement) aside and asked quietly in his usual guttural voice, "Atokun kilo nsele? This whiteman is a member of our team ni?" (Coordinator, what is happening? Is this white man a member of our team?).

The Coordinator said no.

Then the masquerade retorted, "And you are standing there watching while he attempts to shoot me with a real gun? Na Sango go kill you? No let am shoot me o". The masquerade started pleading.

While the conversation went on, the drummers kept drumming:

"Do it
That is what a man does.
Do it.
Do like your father."

The masquerade then turned to the drummers and shouted, "E no wan better for una ni?

Did you ever see an oyinbo man shoot my father?

E ya were ni?"( Did you ever see my father shot by a white man? Are you crazy?)

It was at this point that Gbenga Adeboye intervened and told the masquerade, "But you're from heaven now. Why are you afraid of the white man's pistol? Patapata you go back home".

The masquerade replied by appealing to Gbenga Adeboye, "Haba Buoda Gbenga, you don't know me again at Adatan. I am Ojelabi the son of Egunleti resident at Adatan in Abeokuta. I'm not from heaven o! Tell your friend not to shoot me o, na beg I dey beg una o.
The man wey shoot the other time na band member o, we don rehearse for house o, na only etu dey hin gun no be bullet o, my children are young o."(The man that shot me initially is my band member and we did a lot of rehearsals at home before trying the trick.

It is even only gun powder that is in the gun. There are no bullets there. Please, my children are young).

.....

As funny as this story is, it reminds me of the situation of this APC government- before elections and after.

The APC masquerade was full of tricks and promises right before the election.

To them, if terrorist attacks lasts beyond three months, the Commander-in-chief must be culpable and may even be a major player.

To the former opposition candidate who is now the President, there was nothing like subsidy

The former Lagos State Governor and now the Minister of Power and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola wrote quite a few 'take-aways' and in a 2014 speech, he said, “I agree that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity.

I agree with you it is simple with what we have done in Lagos within the areas where we are constrained showed that it can be done.

But the only way you and I will have electricity in this country is to vote out the PDP.

Unless you vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC to change an inefficient government, it is going to be difficult to have electricity." The former opposition party heavily criticized the railway coaches and even called it "locomotive" derisively. They promised bullet trains when they get to office.

Little did the crowd of uninformed and deceived observers know that the plot was well rehearsed by APC's masquerade.

Of course, you know the type of people who follow a masquerade. Babatunde Raji Fashola could come and give his acrobatic 'take-away' dances because he was on a familiar terrain. Truth be told, is there really anyone who would not give a good account of himself with the resources available to Lagos accompanied by the efficient propaganda machinery of the Lagos-Ibadan press?

Even Ambode is lighting up Lagos now.

Unfortunately, Babatunde Fashola is now better known as the Minister for Darkness.

His masquerade capitulated in front of the white man's pistol.

He cuts a pitiful sight nowadays as he often had to explain away why Nigeria's power output fell from 5,000MW to zero megawatt twice recently or the inability of the power stations to get constant gas supply or why the tariffs had to go up.

Lai Mohammed now understands that running a propaganda machinery is different from running the Ministry of Information. He has now been subjected to the same treatment he subjected others to in the recent past.

With the white man's pistol facing the APC masquerade, suddenly they know subsidy which they initially didn't acknowledge as existing now had to go.

Amaechi can now see clearly the trains he once called locomotives. Fashola now understands the challenges of distribution and generation and has toned down his rhetorics.

However, the crowd is already in a frenzy and all they want is a performance.

The masquerade has over-promised. It just can't afford to under-deliver. To the crowd, if the masquerade could face the dane gun, it can also face the pistol.

Truth be told, governing a complex entity like Nigeria is not a child's play. The interplay of forces demand that wisdom and caution are applied in several situations. Sitting in the driver's seat will give the driver a vantage view he could never have as a passenger.

After two years, reality is setting in.

Very soon, the crowd will discover that afte r all, the masquerade is actually a human being and not a heavenly being.

PoliticsRivers State Moving Train by ucheo(op): 11:04am On Jun 07, 2017
I would like to tell a Story of four people who became very Close Friends by Circumstances. I used to call them the "MOVING TRAIN" till It became Imperative that They had to seperate because in Politics, There are no Permanent friend or Permanent Enemies..ONLY PERMANENT INTEREST

I wouldn't want to bore you with stories How they met and How they helped each other to great heights but let's put the story aside and face reality

They are

1. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi
2. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike
3. Magnus Abe
4. Dakuku Adol Peterside

Let's keep politics aside and Face Reality..These four people Alongside a few others came with the political Ideology and slogan then "I BELIEVE" in 2007. By The Hand of God and Their collective effort(Whether One of them contributed 0.1%, they all contributed one way or the other), On 27th October 2007, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi emerged The Governor of Rivers State and These were the only friends He could count on.

THEIR BOND OF TRUST AND LOVE WAS EARNED. Let me give you a run down of what they had achieved in Politics before they merged to form what I called "THE MOVING TRAIN" in 2007..

1. Amaechi became the Youngest speaker of The Rivers State House of Assembly at 33 in 1999 to 2007

2. Nyesom Wike Became The Chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Council at 32 in Year 2000 to 2007( 2nd richest LGA in Nigeria with allocation nd IGR bigger than some states)

3. Magnus Abe became a Member of The Rivers State House of Assembly Representing The People of Gokana Constituency at 34. He Emerged Minority leader given to the fact that He belonged to the Opposition party then- ANPP. In 2003, He defected to the PDP and He was appointed commissioner of Information by the Dr.Peter Odili led adminstration.

4. Dakuku Peterside became The Chairman of Opobo/Nkoro Local Government at 31 in 2002 and Then Later S.A to the Rivers State Governor on Works at 32 in 2003-2005. In 2005-2007, He became The Executive Director of Development and Leadership Institute.

In 2007, Amaechi became The Executive Governor of Rivers State and This His "Cartel Men" took the stage in the Grand stance

- Nyesom Wike Became His Chief of Staff
- Magnus Abe Became The Secretary to State Government
- Dakuku Peterside Became The commissioner of works

There Has Never been a Squad like this since the creation of Rivers State till Date. They were so Powerful that Everyone even had advised Governor Amaechi to push them to Abuja because Rivers State could no longer Contain them. The Power was too much yet They Blossomed.

In 2011, There was no opposition in Rivers State except Some Adults playing in the sand

-Amaechi Returned as Governor for a Second Term
-Nyesom Wike became Minister for state for Education
- Magnus Abe Became A Senator
- Dakuku became the Member House of Representatives

In 2015, The Center could No Longer Hold but Today

- Amaechi is The Minister of Transportation
- Nyesom Wike is The Executive Governor of Rivers State
- Magnus Abe is Back to the Senate
- Dakuku is the DG of the Big Cash Cow "NIMASA" after running as The Gubernatorial Candidate of the APC in 2015

WITHIN THE LAST 10 YEARS, THESE FOUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE OF RIVERS STATE. They might still be in Charge for at Least The Next 6 Years

AMAECHI is the Leader of APC in Rivers State

Wike is the Leader of PDP in Rivers State

From a Little Beginning, They bonded and later became The Strong Men of NOT JUST RIVERS POLITICS BUT Nigeria Politics

WHAT IS YOUR CIRCLE LIKE?

WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS?

START A CIRCLE OF GREATNESS TODAY, YOU MIGHT BE ON THE NEXT MOVING TRAIN

COPIED .
