The trend is becoming ugly. In this country, whenever a new governor is inaugurated, his first job is usually to make noise about his predecessor. He spends the first six months (or even a year) 'revealing' how much has been embezzled, except the governor has political affinity with the ex- (well, wait until they have problem).
Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State has been saying everything in the world about ex-governor, Ibrahim Shekarau. If a rat has dug a hole in the government house kitchen, he has said it. Even if rain falls on the ceiling, shoes touch the floor, electricity fluctuates, people walk on the streets sweating, trees grow and a car develops fault, he has blamed Shekarau. I do not consider Shekarau a saint. I'm not from Kano. But for Kwankwaso, a man who almost indirectly incited mayhem in 2003 because the people didn't want him to return as governor, mending the broken pieces his reputation has turned to, should be uppermost. And he has to do that by assuming the role of a silent achiever. He should work, and people would see it. Berating Shekarau anytime he wakes up from sleep would do him no good.
