In this artistic expression, Mike Asukwo presents to us a horse cut in half by the Sword of Ambition. At the head of the horse are Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Peter Obi. At the tail are Pa Fasoranti and Tinubu.
Why is Obi ahead of Tinubu?
Does that mean Obi has won?
Does a horse without head know its way?
Who owns the sword?
Who brought the sword?
Who cut the horse?
Will he slaughter it?
By the way, is it still a horse or horses? I thought horses have four legs?
Assuming one is a tailless horse and the other a headless horse, how far can they go without their vital parts?
I have more questions, but let me keep them to myself before the man at the back accuses Asukwo of threatening his life time ambition.
Wait!
Is Asukwo not threatening Tinubu’s lifetime ambition?
Why is Obi smiling and Tinubu frowning?
Is Tinubu’s part of the horse about to collapse?
What if Tinubu jumps down, picks up the sword and go after Obi?
Will he cut him?
I am just thinking!
I am worried!
Very worried!!
Please, nobody should cut anybody. Please!
Note:
As we dream and await the coming of a visionary political leader who substitutes resources with discipline, ingenuity and intelligence, let’s take time to reflect on why who Afenifere, the Pan Yoruba political cultural group supports for presidential leadership has become a thorny issue in Yoruba land.
Is the skirmish that reared its head in the group recently, a struggle to provide visionary leadership for Nigeria cum 2023?
Why is the endorsement of Afenifere important?
Having seen the fallout of Tinubu’s visit to his section of the leadership of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, in a Thursday 3 November 2023 statement affirmed that that Chief Ayo Adebanjo is the group’s acting leader. There were reports that Baba had bounced back to take active role in leading the group having retired on age grounds. Baba is approaching the age of hundred. But in his latest statement, the status quo remains. He says meetings of the group will continue to hold at Chief Adebanjo’s country home at Ogbo-ljebu, Ogun State. Before the Sunday meeting where Pa Fasoranti prayed for the success of Tinubu’s presidential ambition, the acting leader Pa Adebanjo, had led the group to endorse the presidential aspiration of Peter Obi of Labour Party. Announcing the endorsement in September, Pa Ayo Adebanjo asserts that Obi is the man to restructure the country and bring back federalism. He insists it is the turn of the Igbo of the Southeast to become the president of Nigeria.
