ALL is not well at Nigeria’s premier social club, the Island Club, Lagos. A deep-seated battle for the control of the lever of power has divided the once famous and united club into at least three camps.

At a time when all should well set for the April elections, the political class is again living its folly to the fullest Presently, there are about 50 cases in court, a plethora of exparte orders and interlocutory injunctions to boot, underhanded tactics of blackmail by politicians and a polity yet to fully recover from the shenanigans of pro and anti-zoning elements. This report takes a look at the undercurrents in the polity and concludes that with just two months to the general elections, the political class would need to conduct itself in a matured and less combustible manner, hoping that the judiciary would not be a willing tool in the yet unfolding macabre drama called Nigeria’s elections
