The recent shameless jumpology of our legislators is not only laughable,
but the height of political desperation. But in recent time, I have
cautioned myself not to squander my treasure of words and time on less
germane issues, but permit me to bear my mind on what has turned out to
be talk of the town.
The watery defense put across by some paid agents who took delight in
their self acclaimed eloquence, did not only expose the original
malicious intention of their principal's venturing into politics, both
has further presented the consequences of a self imposed "mistake of
choice" before the electorate.
They started this shameless dance few weeks ago by being completely
insincere and sending misleading signals, concealing the purpose and
intention through several denials that couldn't stand the test of time.
Appearing a committed and loyal member of the party under which the
umbrella your people elected you, hiding your ungodly intention after
collecting Bello's brown envelope, and sending the good people of your
constituency on time consuming wild goose chase. May God for forgive you
(amen). I know by now we are counting our losses in Kabba/Bunu local
government.
What this cheap politician fail to put under consideration is that power
does not come from being in the same party with the governor, but the
corner stone of power is reputation and through the same instruments of
reputation, you can intimidate and win.
The silent but conspicuous victory Bello won over these semi illiterate
element in the hallowed chamber was destroying them by opening holes in
their reputations and then stand to watch as public opinion hang them.
Believe me or not, this is the height of any political miscalculation.
I was with a friend when he called and confronted the majority leader with the text message he sent to Friday Sani asking him to come and collect his own N2M and instead of denying it, he only said "Friday
shouldn't have shown you that message now". But promised they collected
such money but will not do Bello's bidding. Hmmmmm, just
less than a month he suddenly didn't care what people say about those
damning flashback.
Since we must live in a society and must depend on the opinions of
others, there is nothing to gain by neglecting your reputation. By not
caring how you are perceived, you let others decides this for you. What
is the essence of last month denial of rumour of being lured with cash
to decamp when you know you are 99% out of your party? May God bless
Honourable Tee Jay who still believes his birth right and reputation
worth more than a pot of N2M
