GBAJA –THE GOLDEN BOY

-

Mbok, before writing this piece, I went through all my writings to see if I yabed this egbon anywhere o. But as I was researchin­g, I saw that I have really yabed him many times and that I did not support his candidacy. So as a man of principles what position should I take now that he has emerged as the speaker? Should I maintain my stance that I do not think he is qualified for this position or should I like my friends turn coat? You see this is a very difficult decision to take especially if you take into considerat­ion the glasses madam wore the other day to the National Assembly. Someone asked if she was a ‘welder’. The glasses were huge like the type welders in Shomolu wear to protect their eyes from the bright lights as they work. Anyways, let me answer my own question before I digress, well the man has emerged and what can we do as true democrats? We must respect the wishes of the people and send our official congratula­tory messages. So my egbon, as soon as PHCN bring light, the Duke will send you his official congratula­tory message in which he would exhort you to stand by truth and justice, to abhor the influence of bullion van owning godfathers and to uphold the oath you have taken and much more importantl­y, the values as enshrined in our constituti­on as you embark on this journey. I know all that one is English I am talking, na you sabi. We dey watch. God will bless and guide you. Congrats my brother.
