No warrior takes yes for an answer,they say.
It is no longer news that the Ogun State Governor,Otunba Gbenga Daniel(OGD),had been in a running battle for the soul of the state with the former president of the country,Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.What is news is the fact that OGD shamelessly went on his knees begging for forgiveness.Now,in Nigerian politics,that is a show of cowardice and evidence of total loss.Indeed,it is even worse that it has to do with OBJ,a man who is always right,and who feels he should have his way.
What baffles me is the shame at which our politicians speak from both sides of the mouth.Just a few weeks ago,OBJ was an enemy of peace and democracy,at least to OGD.He called OBJ all unprintable names and even said he wanted to destroy the state.All of a sudden,he goes begging for forgiveness.I ask,for what?
Since OBJ is an enemy to democracy,why then would OGD go back begging him for forgiveness?What forgiveness?May be,OGD has forgotten history.Anybody who asks Baba for forgiveness,and is forgiven,goes down later.Ask Audu Ogbeh and Chuba Okadigbo(oh,no,we can't.He's dead!).
OGD has proved that he has no iota of shame in him.Not just that,he has just told people one thing,with his actions: he is a liar and can never be trusted.May be,he actually deserved all the boos he got at the weekend during the PDP presidential rally.
One thing looks certain: ACN is on the move in that state and like a moving train,could crush OGD and his likes!
