Dirty stinking politics.

Campaigns, elections, thuggery, rigging, mayhem, lies, false promises, ghost voters, anarchy, anarchists, vengeance, fools, idiots, smart, sharp, intelligent, stupid, mad, sane, but most of all abuse of power & position. These are but a few of the things that we identify during an electioneering period. Politics is dirty everywhere but dirtiest here.
The pity is that in Nigeria all of these things & many more do exist.
About 1pm today, I left home to go somewhere no more than 2kms away, which I normally cover in about 7mins. 1.5hrs later am still deep in traffic with my destination still only some 5mins away. I then discovered that Remi Tinubu was the reason for the traffic chaos.
With the collaboration of the Police & other agencies responsible for traffic control, I watched as vehicles with her stickers & posters broke every traffic rule while we suffered with clenched teeth. Remi has come to be because of her husband Bola Tinubu who will not let go of Lagos politics & wishes to install every crony of his into power & position & further more create a dynasty. Has he been watching the developments in the Middle East & the Gulf region?
I do not wish to find out if Remi Tinubu is qualified for this position; this act of total disregard for the rule of law, aided by her husband’s ruffianly ways have made her , as far as am concerned, ineligible for the position.
I wish all other candidates good luck but best of luck to my friend Dapo Durosinmi Etti..
