My Political Diary – Day 44 by Odegbami vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
For some unknown reason I have not been reading newspapers for some weeks now. I did last Sunday.
Thats on one hand – condemnable acts that would have been considered sacrilegious had the Yoruba continued along their original paths of moral rectitude. They are not the hired ones at most political rallies, rather, they are the millions in mosques, churches and other worship houses nursing unger and pain, praying and fasting for divine intervention to rescue them from hunger, poverty, neglect, under-development, unemployment and mental enslavement that have all combined forces to destroy their being and their blessed land.
So, despite what the papers say, I shall hold on to my faith and pray for patience, the strength to resist all temptation, the grace to get divine favour, guidance and the stamina to persevere and be faithful till the very end, the eventual outcome of the elections being totally irrelevant. He complained that he and his group of my supporters have been the least funded, the ones without posters and billboards, the ones that can’t offer voters money to support me on election day, the ones that have suffered the most by not switching political camps for personal gains, the only ones that are likely to lose out in the final money game at the polling booths.
As for me, I am happy to be the underdog in these elections. That way the ultimate victory will be sweeter. I think again and realise that I may have done much more and more effective campaigns than all other politicians and should deservedly have the upper hand in securing faithful voters, even in a new party ZLP, the last party on the ballot paper they know nothing about.
