Our presence at
the momentous OBIDATTI rally in Ibadan last Wednesday, November 21, was the
ultimate evidence that we have boarded the people’s train with Peter Obi and
Datti Ahmed for the redemption of our country.
To those who could not see beyond the conventional and are irredeemably fixated on the search for structures that have only held our nation and people hostage, let them know that the Obidient phenomenon is not a joke they thought would soon frizzle out.
A brother and learned colleague, out of sheer love, described our move, after my initial television interviews justifying the Afenifere’s endorsement of the ObiDatti ticket, as a descent to political Golgotha. We are quick to remind him that the way to redemption is paved with torns and a burdensome cross that must be borne at Golgotha, which Nigeria must experience, willy nilly.
