I never liked the APC idea, and now with the 7 rebel governors jumping in, I hate it the more.  APC is a bow to Al Qaeda pressure, it is a bow to the bows and Arrows of Boko Haram, APC is a negotiation with terrorists, and APC is “we are sorry we are Christians”. I loved the ACN arrangement.  ACN was a tall stand for the people. 

When your life is productive and full of enviable results that all eyes can see, you become a celebrity of sort. Those who never liked you have to pretend to admire you; those who had wished you fail now have to ask you for success strategies, those who had refused to bow now roll before you in adoration and reverence.

Chief Ladoke Akintola was one-time premier of the then Western Region of Nigeria. Smooth-talking, loquacious master of jabberwocky, Chief Akintola was severally accused by his many opponents of crass corruption.  His sarcastic response sickened many both in his party and outside. The line is memorable.  “I didn’t eat the money, I spent it, whose grandfather can swallow a penny?” he had said.  The premier, in a manner of a stand-up comedian, trivialized the behemoth called corruption, and today, the monstrous Godzilla is still very much around sinking Nigeria deep into thralldom and towering tribulations.  Friends, this is the fungus among us.
