On July 31st, 2013 a day after All
Progressives Congress (APC) was registered by Independent National Electoral
Commission, I got a surprising call at dawn from the storming petrel, warrior
of the pen, essayist and a poet who uses words like a sculptor, Mr. Odia Ofeimun
with troubling apocalypse thus:
"Erasmus,
do you know that Senator Bola Tinubu has sold Nigeria to the devil for accepting
the merger of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) with Congress for Progressive
Change (CPC) and a few little known political parties".
*President Buhari |
I was caught off
balance. Moreso because I had barely retired from my study to the bed before my
sleep was rudely ruptured by the call.
