Aketi’s Humpty Dumpty
Don’t bet on that, for politics is no game for the faint-hearted. But the theatre of the absurd, now on the Ondo front, is humbling enough.Abena, who did the political equivalent of the poetic Solomon Grundy, that rifled through life in seven short days!
Well, Abena isn’t quite replicating the Olusegun Mimiko feat of exiting as SSG to sack the late Olusegun Agagu, after a prolonged post-election litigation. Then, after the governor tested positive for COVID-19, he issued a 21-day ultimatum for a power hand-over, the morality of it all be damned! To be fair to Ajayi, however, it’s the tale of opportunism gives, opportunism takes — the most serious singular plague ravaging this polity.
Remember the Bible that records King Rehoboam as victim of “useless young men”, whose misadvice condemned Solomon’s son, David’s grandson, to kissing 10, out of 12 tribes, in his father’s kingdom, bye-bye?once stumbled on a discourse, with some neophyte, canonizing Aketi as foremost among the South West “new breed leaders”.
Even then, if you can’t hold together your immediate locality, how can you pass the muster for an extended terrain? So long for flowery FB claims! That range of demand has even drawn a sharp rebuke from inside the Unity Forum, the intra-Ondo APC pressure group, determined to give embattled Aketi a good run for his money! Yet, the senator was virtually fighting for his political life, in the run-up to the 2019 election, for lack of gubernatorial support!
