MY friend drew my attention to the rumour making the round in some quarters to the effect that Muraina Ajibola, the member representing Ibarapa Central / North Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives was not in his constituency to vote during the presidential election. To say the least, it is a naked lie.

“Hatred may be engendered by good deeds as well as bad ones.” –Niccolo MachiavelliPOSER: Is the growing intolerance by Governor Adams Oshiomhole against the Esan ethnic nation a reaction to its good deeds of voting for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the three elections held in April, this year?

NIGERIANS are experts in all fields of human endeavour, including a plethora of telephone ring tones. One tone in particular captures my attention and starts with “NIGERIA evil men will never rule you again, People who steal your money will never rule you again” and it goes on with a number of other interesting prayers.

The scenario above was certainly not a clean sweep that Oshiomhole had planned to achieve. If it had been, one thing is sure: The Comrade Governor and his aides would have declared a celebration galore and clinked the good wine glasses to mark the total eclipse of the PDP in the State.

THE election of Goodluck Jonathan as President of this country signposts so much hope for the country. It may be too early for analysts to go full length talking about the huge lot that hope offers us by this historic election.
