IF IT IS TRUE

To be a big man is not easy especially a political big man. The party meeting the PAC party held that caused an ordinary lockdown in the entire Ikeja axis on that day is what the ordinary masses are complaining about when indeed we were trying to find ways that we can reduce the sufferings of the ordinary masses. Afterall, when RCCG holds their monthly Holy Ghost Service, and it dovetails into Power Must Change Hands of the MFM, there is always traffic in the whole of Lagos. Lagosians will never appreciate the kind of selfless work we do and the wahala we go through on a daily basis for them even if all the meetings we do are held in air conditioned rooms. We are strategizing how our enemies and by that, I mean the other strong political party (who recently just found a way to sew their torn umbrella) will not take over and capture our state of aquatic splendor. That will be a SACRILEGE

For instance, in the forthcoming Local government elections, we will present candidates that will be difficult to beat by any “standards” if you know what I mean. We have trained party agents who specialize in every aspect of political gymnastics and manipulation ranging from writing results, inducing voters, snatching ballot boxes, taking your picture while you are thumb printing to know who you actually voted for etc. Bros, don’t try us o and it will do you a lot of good if you join the winning party so that we can eat this national cake together. We have also upgraded our new app of downloading stomach infrastructure to the masses as we now download items per handwork and have sent out countless bags of rice and garri to the wards to be downloaded equally by giving 6 de’ricas to each registered ward member.The artisans are not left out in these dividends of democracy and have been given various equipment ranging from sewing machines, grinding machines, vulcanizing machines, knives and cutlasses for the butchers (and this may be useful in another aspect you know), wheelbarrows, tricycles, motorcycles etc. because that is what they need daily to survive in these harsh times. They don’t really need to go to good schools and aspire so high educationally as doing that will make them qualified to rub shoulders with our own children who are studying in the most expensive schools here and abroad in readiness for taking up political offices and juicy appointments when they return from “the abroad”

Any right thinking Lagosian knows we have their best interest at heart to deliver on our campaign promises and nothing short of that is what we will deliver to them. Don’t mind those ones who call themselves the elites because we know they won’t come out to vote on that day simply because they don’t love our state and they are the ones who will complain the most while the ordinary masses will line out under the rain or in the sun on that day to perform their civic duties just like some of them did during their year of obeying the clarion call. And to those crying about imposition, let them continue, diaris God; they have quickly forgotten how we imposed them too in the past on others that this is the same way those people too shouted and demonstrated against the party hierarchy and the godfathers in the local government so it is not a new thing to us. We will soon set up a high powered committee to look into the immediate and remote causes of their dissatisfaction but for now we cannot afford to be distracted from the local government elections.

For those who will vote for us, we thank them; for those who will not vote for us, we know them and for those who will take us to the elections tribunal, we will defeat you.
