Paris, France – E be like say wahala don land for France as Prime Minister François Bayrou don lose confidence vote for National Assembly. Dem vote 364 to 194, make we no forget say dis one na big blow to him government wey chook eye for big pocket of French debt. Bayrou go gree hand over him resignation to President Emmanuel Macron tomorrow morning. Na true say wahala dey oo!
As e be now, Macron dey face gbaladun matter. E need to pick new prime minister wey go fit handle the goats and cabbage wey dey smell for France now. Options dey, but me I no go lie, nobody go wan take dis hot seat. Na fifth prime minister in less than two years, so you fit see say everything don scatter like jollof rice wey no boil well.
Bayrou don try make French people believe say debt na serious matter, e even talk say if dem no act fast, the country go dey face boko haram of financial trouble. Him propose say dem go scrap two national holidays and freeze welfare on top of €3.4 trillion liability. But instead of say make dem carry last-last gree am, dem just use am chop for lunch!
Opposition parties no wan hear word as dem don unite like sugar and tea to send Bayrou packing. Na so e bin get attention from everybody wey no wan give am any chance. E dey bring to mind say sometimes smart people go fit turn mumu because all over, no be everybody dey ready to hear you talk!
Bayrou don turn into political martyr, everybody dey talk say him own na suicide mission. E for just chill small, build support. But as dem dey shout ‘bloquons tout’ (let’s block everything), protests don dey plan for streets as activists dey prepare for their own jollof (sit-ins, boycotts). Na so e be for this political drama wey dey play for France!
Investors dey panic, bond yields don rise like inflation go chop ground. Dem dey look closely as France wey don dey stumble through economy, even before this confidence vote. Big risk dey for Macron if e no quick find better person wey fit bring some kind sanity to this madness. E fit name another left-wing prime minister, but as e be, all hand dey point to how fruitful e go be. I dey laugh troway say if dem go scatter gree anyone!”
As e stand now, if Macron no take care, far-right Marine Le Pen fit take advantage of the political confusion. E don dey call for elections to take things back. So, we dey look how dis drama go play out as French politics dey turn new leaf every minute. Na serious movie o, but we no fit laugh!
So, for Bayrou we don see bye-bye wave, hopefully, he go fit take am easy wherever e dey go. As French people dey prepare for dem next PM, I no sure say dem go gree chop from the government plate again without checking am twice. Na wah o!
