Oshiomhole Last Card

   

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole’s political relevance, going forward, is staked on the outcome of the forthcoming governorship election in September. Since his fall from grace from the lofty heights as the APC party National Chairman to an ordinary party card carrier, he knows that the forthcoming election is his last stand, as it were. It is a do or die affair for him politically. If his candidate wins, he may continue to hope Ize Iyamu would be more malleable and be under his thumb. 

Oshiomhole has since perfected the art of godfatherism. If he denies being a godfather, Oshiomhole should be asked to define what makes a godfather. For someone who staked his governorship to putting the erstwhile Edo godfather in his place, it is very pitiable to see him threatening fire and brimstone against the other party this election cycle. The triumph of his candidate will be a triumph for godfathers across the nation.  The will of the people should count in the political scheme. The old men should leave the youth alone to determine their path. The old have done their bit and as such, should therefore not sow rancour and discord in the polity before they go to their graves. What they’ve taken from Nigeria should suffice them. They must be resisted from causing mayhem in their wake. Oshiomhole should swallow his pride and simply fade out quietly rather than raising hell. The result of his last throw of the political dice should be taken with grace and equanimity
