| Yakubu Dogara. |
I have just read a piece of news that says Yakubu Dogara and his co-travellers are endorsing Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 election. My first impression was to question why a gentleman of Idris Wada's orientation would fall prey to this needless profiling of religion and politics; two mutually distinct institutions with different end-point belief.
Religion talks about eternity, politics talks
about earthly engagements. How religion should dominate political discourse is
still a matter of contradiction to me. Idris Wada, please run away from that
group before they use your head to break coconut.
When I read the contents of the statement issued
by Yakubu Dogara and his ilks, I started searching for the names of the members
who want to play God in the political aspiration of Asiwaju Tinubu. It is on
record that Dogara wanted to be a running mate. No qualms about that. Should
heaven now fall because someone else was selected?
Is Atiku Abubakar they have endorsed a Christian? Why do we love promoting contradiction to the hilt just for our own pecuniary gains? I can bet that APC will defeat Dogara in his Ward, come 2023. And I know APC will also defeat PDP in Bauchi state too.
I also saw my friend's name Mohammed Kumaila. I
just laughed. Persons who are neither here nor there, vacillating all over the
place trying to find relevance.
If you quarel about APC choice, as a Christian,
why not endorse a Christian presidential candidate in Obi, instead of Atiku a
muslim? This goes to show that it is all a matter of stomach infrastructure.
Muktar Shagari is a member of PDP so declaring that he has endorsed Atiku
appears to me like a cracked music. Achuba, is mortally broke and seeking for
pay cheque.
They think Atiku Abubakar will open his vault for them; how laughable. A Christian, who truly believes in justice and equity, should naturally know that in a country of several pluralities, there is the need to balance all the algorithms of power. After a Northern presidency in Buhari, it should naturally be the turn of the South.
But for dubious reasons, no altruistic minded
person would concede to retention of political power in the North after
Buhari's 8 years. I am aware they have been putting pressure on the president
to support Atiku, their plot will fail abysmally.
After a man has been speaker of the House of Reps
in Nigeria, he should naturally be magnanimous when dealing with religious
issues and not appearing so desperate to halt the trajectory of symbiotic
relationship. Leave religion for the practitioners, leave politics for the
politicians.
The two are mutually exclusive. Beyond seeking
for relevance, there is absolutely nothing that is pushing Yakubu Dogara for
taking this challenge of his anti-party diatribe.
