I read a certain comment on the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, credited to Egbon Gani Babafemi Ojudu, in which he referred to the FCT Minister as someone who “carries on as though power is eternal, as if position confers immortality.”
Egbon Femi Ojudu is pained, no doubt, but shouldn’t he limit his frustration to his “I too know” mindset that made him calculated wrongly on the 2023 presidential election?
By the way, is he now in the farm, cultivating cocoyam and ewedu vegetable as he promised in 2022?
Funny that someone like Femi Ojudu, who led a Political Coup in Ekiti is now the one sermonising about power not being eternal. Didn’t he know that power was not eternal when he was leading the coup that plunged Ekiti State into a state of emergency?
At what point did Egbon Ojudu, a political coupist become an advocate of politics of fairness? When he lost his chance to remain in power after his preferred Presidential candidate lost the APC primary election?
Unlike Buoda Gani Efon Ojudu, Wike has proven to be a better and more successful politician. Wike is not like Egbon Femi Ojudu, whose only major political achievement is deceiving President Obasanjo to remove illegally, a democratically elected Governor of Ekiti State.
Anyway, I am still waiting for him to confirm or deny that he actually authored the comment though. Until then, let our gunpowder be kept dry.
