The biblical tales of the wise men project moral lessons to
believers especially the three who visited Jesus Christ at birth. Nowadays, it
is difficult to find wise men from the four corners of the globe with good
intentions. Therefore, in many ways, the Eastern leaders’ comment the other day
on Peter Obi’s choice as Vice President to Abubakar Atiku in the next year’s
elections is to say the least, shocking and undeserving of real and genuine
leaders.

Their improper act has once again, exposed some ugly nature of
politics from that region. Indeed, politics of self interest seems to be very
important to Igbo leaders whose ‘sophisticated’ thought now brings conflicting
views into the Atiku’s running mate choice.
