You know you have encountered a
failure when an unserious character
praises
him non-stop. So I was not surprised
when Femi Fani Kayode, a disgrace and
a man who talks more than he should,
decided to deride himself further by
singing the praises of a controversial
non-performer.
According to Fani Kayode, we need more
leaders like Governor T.A Orji in
Nigeria. Why? Because the rate of
development in Abia state, according to
him, is extra-ordinary. First, I am not
surprised one bit. Fani Kayode has
always had this terrible description of
success. Anything bad seems great
to this loquacious left-thinking man.
What exactly is extra-ordinary in
Abia state? The good road networks the
people have? New infrastructure?
Salaries of workers that are being paid?
Payment of gratuities and pensions
of retired civil servants? Cleanliness of
the environment? Civilized tax
payment system? What exactly? Really,
this Fani Kayode man does not respect
himself. He seems to love embarrassing
himself at any and every opportunity
he gets.
As for the leader every Nigerian should
be like, according to Fani Kayode,
I think even he would be surely shocked
by that admission from a man whose
mouth runs like pipe-borne water.
Because surely he knows everywhere in
Abia has collapsed and the people
cannot wait for his tenure to elapse. In
truth, this “leader everyone should
emulate” should start thinking
seriously. If he has a conscience, he
should sit down, call himself to a
meeting and have a sober reflection.
One, he has failed Abia. Two, he has
allowed sycophants surround him. And
like every political jobber, they have
not let him down.
Come 2015, whether or not he wins the
senate, whether or not his preferred
successor wins, he would know the true
meaning of being alone. No praise
singers, no executive powers, and no
awards. Then, even Fani Kayode would
have jumped ship. If bloggers he invited
to the state, who were treated
with ‘love’, could express
disappointment, then what else does he
need to
know?
Fani Kayode has failed himself again.
But then, that is a constant
occurrence. However, if I were him, I
would stop talking. This latest noise
was, in all modesty, one too many.
