ATIKU: THE POOR VICTIM OF POLITICAL PAPALOLO.
The minute I heard the announcement of the planned media briefing by Secondus, I knew they are scheming to scam Atiku again. They have rejected the result, because it is unfavorable to them. It can never be favorable. Every strategy had failed, because the whole arrangement was built on fraud. He thought he is smart, by outmaneuvering him in Portharcourt, he didn’t know that as a student of Mallam Aminu Kano school of politics, Kwankwaso can be smarter. Kwankwaso knew he hasn’t the capacity nor the muscle to match or counter the support of Buhari in Kano, but in order for him to recoup what he had lost in Portharcourt, the clean and clever way is to sell a dummy to Atiku. He did so convincingly, by renting and assembling the usual commercial political crowd for sale, who were paid per hour and given red caps to decorate the city for the period of the waziri’s visit. Thrilled by the turnout of people, Atiku was simply swindled into committing a huge amount of money, in return for a guaranteed 40-50% votes from Kano, a situation that gave him the false confidence of splitting the votes equally, at the strongest base of Buhari. What came out of that arrangement, was allegedly enough to cover what he lost in Portharcourt, with a comfortable margin for political pension. That is the meaning of political PAPALOLO from Mr.158. He couldn’t get a fraction of what was promised. Atiku leaned and relied on pillars without powers. His DG Bukola had never won election on his own merit, never. He first climbed on the goodwill of his father and later on the mightiness of the Government to win elections. Now that the chips are down, Bukola was brought down like a pack of cards. Next to deceive and relieve the waziri of his money are the media spinners, who are still collecting the money and confusing the guy, instead of convincing him. It’s too late to ask for a refund but not too late to have a rethink and reassessment of his p
