Wetin dey happen for Naija politics, my people? Dem say loyalty no dey count again! Na dem Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf wahala wey dey steal show for Kano as him dey switch allegiance faster than wey dem fit change tyres for road! This guy wey chop plenty mentorship from Kwankwaso, nai him dey bring us this kind drama wey sabi plenty from like Nollywood!
So, my paddy Kalu Okoronkwo yarn say dis whole matter na serious gbege; e start from as far back as when Abba Kabir dey shine as protege of Kwankwaso when him first sidon for office as him Personal Assistant. Gist go on as him dey follow Kwankwaso go different appointments, na so loyalty build strong bond between dem. But wait, when dem dey fine politics, wetin success fit cost dem on top all this mentorship?
Dem say dis politician dey show us say once dem don enter power, na im e fit change fayda! Abba Yusuf don rise, but e seem like him don forget who carry am up when e be buba, no be small wahala! According to Kalu, dis Abba guy come dey make we dey fear say loyalty no fit last for Naija! Him wahala don show us say mentorship dey chop but when e reach to reward, dem dey turn to jollof rice wey dey cold.
Kwankwaso dey support am, even when e dey face tough time, but as soon as Abba take crown, him nothing say na time to bail! E don sign for another party like say dem don gift am new dance step. The gbege wey come from all dis pepe dem no be small matter; people dey wonder if guber na play stop, or if dem dey set fire for Naija politics.
The lesson wey people suppose learn for dis wahala be say, when dem dey climb ladder of success, make sure say you no forget who help you rack. Na wetin we sabi from past neva change, once you betray, you dey enter without last destination. E dey show say loyalty fit turn ghost once power enter the picture!
This matter fit change how plenty youths dey view politics o! Dem don dey think say loyalty na scam; dem dey vex say na dem dey look like fools when dem act based on trust. Betrayal as dis dey happen for top places go only make the younger enter complain about ethics and values in politics.
So, my people, as we dey watch dis drama unfold, we need to ask ourselves, wetin we fit learn from Abba and Kwankwaso story? We fit still believe say loyalty dey matter or na just arrangement wey fit shift when the tide change? Politics no suppose be about who get power, but about who fit keep character intact.
To wrap am up, no one fit forget wey Abba Kabir Yusuf don do, and how e go affect next generation wey dey come. E go take time for history to sort all dis wahala, but for now, dis matter don show say we still get long way to go in terms of political integrity for Naija.
