A bus without a driver would crash and a bus with a bad driver would still crash.
Considering the fact that Nigeria just alighted from a bus with a rough driver it is important for them to choose a good driver to avoid break down.
Taking into consideration the broom and the umbrella.
Mr A, which is the umbrella party candidate in pursuit of the position of Nigeria bus driver, sought solace and support in the institutional memory of the palace of the emir of Kano.
The umbrella candidate said he believed he was the person to whom the late emir alluded. To that end then the current emir was to pay, as his father had allegedly done, for Mr A to achieve the dreams of the late elite.
The former driver who is the beginner of the chaos,was similarly on the campaign trail, allegedy for his broom candidate Mr B who dabgled him in an appearance before the sultan of sokoto Alaji; muhammad sa’ad Abudakar ¡¡¡.
It was a hip a Nigerian leader should never have taken because it is widely known that the esteemed sultasn holds him in distain.
In April 2021 following the attack on the Abuja – kaduna training which many citizend were kidnapped The sultan openly castigated any government that was incapable of protecting its citizens saying it had lost the moral justification for being in power.
In May 2022 the sultan tasked the government to identify the so called “ unknown gunmen ” and force them out of forest and urban hideout for prosection. He stressed that the term that was being used to describe killers of innocent Nigerias was no longer tenable because they were ignored not unknown.
Since the Nigeria has grown more insecured with a lot of families losing love ones and sometimes possession as well as they pay ransoms. The sultan personally warned the former driver that all was not well.
Meanwhile mr B the candidate of broom panaded the former driver as his trump card during his campaign visit to the sultan. “ we want to win election and we seek your blessing and endorsement ” he told the emir “ it is something you cannot reject. I request you because the president and commanders – in – chief of the armed force, how can he be here and you rejected it? ”.
It was comical te emir, probably wondering at being invited to endorse a comprehensively deficient candidate sponsored by a insufferable government, appeared to be amused. The former drive who has encouraged Nigerians, at least openly to vote gor any one of whatever party appeared to be bored.
Remember, during all of that Nigerians starved they could not feed their children nor buy medicine for sickness.
Nigeria may be starving but they are also watching out not to choose a wrong driver anymore to avoid bus crash.
