KWANKWASO AND HIS ARROGANCE TOWARDS OBI

-

 


Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of NNPP, is obviously hungry for Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party, to run with him as the VP in a joint ticket. Kwankwaso knows that such a ticket would prove formidable against APC and PDP. 


But he is going about it with so much crass arrogance. Which is a pity really. And an indication that there's no one giving him a good counsel on this particular subject. I suspect that, like for most Nigerian big-time politicians, there's no one around Sen. Kwankwaso that has enough guts to speak to him from time to time, helping him to moderate (and to improve) his public speeches and his body language in general. 


Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso boasts of having far more credentials in holding elected and appointed leadership positions than Obi; which is true. But, pray, which genuinely confident man or woman brags about him or herself? Such boasting already cheapens Kwankwaso, making him a laughing stock. I guess he doesn't even have a clue about this.


I have my respect for Engr. Kwankwaso: a distinguished professional and a very successful politician in the country today. But by the way, I think an Obi/Kwankwaso joint ticket (with Kwankwaso as the VP) is what would sell even far better across the entire country. This is my own opinion, as at this time T, contrary to my reading of the political temperature a few weeks ago. 


Even with all his bragging, Kwankwaso is no match for Obi today in terms of that person that majority of Nigerians believe can help to sanitize our politics, and to completely turnaround our economy from its import-dependent weakness to a more productive and export-oriented strength.

  ‎ ‎With a heart full of sorrow yet deeply grateful to the Almighty for the gift of a long, impactful life, I offer this tribute to a man whose legacy stands tall like the ancient iroko, Ichie Michael Ekesi (Ozo Chibuluzo). ‎ ‎The news of his passage to eternity came as a thunderclap. We had earnestly looked forward to celebrating his 100th birthday in January 2026, a rare milestone that few achieve. But God, in His sovereign wisdom, decided that Ichie had completed his course. The heavens have surely gained a saint. ‎ ‎Ichie Michael Ekesi was not merely an elder by age, but a towering figure of wisdom, humility, and unwavering devotion to both faith and culture. Born and bred in the heart of Enugwu-Agidi, he rose to become one of the most respected figures in the Church, the community, and the traditional institution. ‎ ‎As a young boy growing up in Enugwu-Agidi, I admired him from a distance, his quiet strength, his gentle speech, and his active presence in St. John’s Catholic C...
