Lagos, Nigeria – People dey talk say politics na serious business, but Segun Sowunmi dey show dem say e no too serious for him!
Dis former spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s 2023 presidential campaign dey flex him political independence as e boldly declare say, “I am not tied to anybody.” Dem see him recently with President Bola Tinubu, and people begin shake their heads like say theatre don start. Sowunmi don clear air say make nobody mistake am, no be say e don betray him oga Atiku.
On top Channels Television’s “Politics Today”, Sowunmi sabi yarn say he respect Tinubu brain well well, saying, “he is smarter than them.” (E be like say dem dey fight for title of brainiest for politics o!) Sowunmi dey compare Tinubu and his political rivals, especially Peter Obi, saying Tinubu dey flex different moves for different people, like say na chess dem dey play.
“I am at liberty as an adult to take decisions,” he talk, as if to say na him dey wear the crown for democracy. E make sure say make dem no call am anti-Tinubu. Na to show say e get sense and e fit talk him own mind. E go refer to Tinubu like say na him mentor, claiming that Tinubu’s sharpness na wetin separate am from other contenders.
Y’all remember Daniel Bwala? Dis guy too don meet Tinubu before, and him dey talk as if Tinubu na God for person wey sabi politics. Bwala wey be former spokesperson for Atiku too don hold position as Special Adviser to Tinubu on Policy Communication (Talk about switching sides, no be small something!).
As dem dey chop politics well well, Sowunmi dey gree say differen approach dey necessary. And e no dey shy to give credit where e due, calling Tinubu “fit” and “above average”. But abeg, who no like to stay fit for dis kind matter? Politicians no fit carry body like our people wey dey sell suya for corner!
For dis political drama wey dey unfold, we just dey watch like say na Nollywood film. Who go win? Who go cry? Your guess dey as good as mine. But one thing sure be say, until further notice, dis Sowunmi don carry him own load for political matter, and e carry am well!
