We are not in Spain. But there, it is claimed that bulls
are enraged when red flags flutter before them. The matador, the man who fights and kills a
bull in a sport, gets the beast into the game by waving the red cloth. The
indifferent, motionless animal only charges at his opponent when it sights his
muleta, the stick with a crimson swathe employed in the final third of the
bullfight…We know what follows:
savagery, slaughter and sanguinary cheers from the spectators.

| *Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa |
In Nigeria, we appear to be in for a bullfight over the
Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa affair. She is the President of the Appeal Court, who
has been asked to head the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal looking into
the suit of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its Presidential Candidate,
Atiku Abubakar. They are challenging the victory of Muhammadu Buhari in the
poll of February 2019.
