Post elections

Unless you’re prepared to wait another six months for INEC to declare the Elections results, otherwise we may have to make do with speculations, historical conjectures and recent elections antecedents in the country. So, going by the above premise, it is right but not safe to assume that the election went the President’s way.

The President may have just been bought a new lease of life of four years. In an unconnected story, some bullion vans were sighted at the private home of APC party leader at the eve of  the elections. But, the gentleman was able to allay our fears that the content of the bullion vans were just money and not election materials. They belonged to him and not the government and he is free to use his money to assist the party. Absolutely, it is just that having bullion vans doing home delivery on a public holiday with less than 24 hours to a general elections seems suspicious to rumour mongers and all sane homo sapiens.

Think nothing of it sir, after all it is not your party that is bent on selling the NNPC. It is your former party member. After all, the estranged member's only thinking out aloud your general or should we say conscientious private thoughts.

The international observers, thinking we are running feudalism and not federalism, have also concluded that the election was free, fair and devoid of violence. They too are right. There were body bags quite alright, but none of it belonged to any observer. A few deaths here and there are expected in an election of this magnitude anyway, in our clime, as it's a ritual. The good news is that the deaths recorded are of natural causes and does not in any shape or from related to the President’s ambiguous timely order.

The Elections has come and gone and we need to take the positives from it just for academic reasons for posterity. I understand that news reaching Sahara Reporter confirmed that Sowore was shocked that people took him seriously enough to vote for him. He will go again, and hopefully will be back in the next four years.

Optimistically, he will have been sober enough to start his entrance into active politics from the house of assembly. And for the rest of the gang of presidential candidates, having their names on the ballot papers must have sufficed as testimonials for now. And with good behaviour, who knows, a Federal appointment may be in the making for the conformists.

Going forward, the President may want to consider the items on his pending file since 2015. And if they are no longer there he could get the vice president to retrieve them before they start the first cabinet meeting. They are: restructuring, energy, corruption without merit and war on terrorism. With no trader moni to distract him, the VP should be back on time and insist on not been locked out, again.
