Coalition! Not A Game Changer

By Dr jarlat Uche opara

More to it. Just a skeletal frame work, a platform, more of a converging point to galvanise an unusual force for a purpose.

Coalition without a credible substance becomes nothing but a cast of crabs with mastery in PHDS( Pull Him Down Syndrome) They would come together no doubt but their selfishness, won’t allow them become stepping stone unto one another for greater heights.

Coalition may come with multiple, exponential and multitude of persons but if they lack credibility, cohesion, selflessness and genuine purpose, such crowd may be like a pride of Lions led by a lamb. Crowd, but no effect.

Any Coalition that fails to present as its face a leader with character, integrity, competence,value etc is a Coalition on a mission to make noise without impact.

As talks on Coalition goes on, the masses’ yearning, interest, choice, predilection etc should be honoured and respected.

2027, a battle that would be won not by coalition alone but with a coalition that has the face of a person that is A DEITY ( Diligently Excellently Initiating Timely yardage)

Coalition for Coalition sake without the masses’ friendly flag bearer would be a Coalition on a jamboree. If not carefully crafted, designed and orchestrated 2023 mistakes inadvertently may be repeated in 2027. Once beaten twice shy.

Recently I watched the drama and comedy of SP during the APC summit in Abuja. Very hilarious presentation, cracking ribs like the likes of Gordon, I go die, Basket Mouth, Akpororo, Ali Baba, Klink de Drunk, etc

2027, no vacancy in Aso Rock he said. 2027, Tinubu the sole candidate for APC and for all Nigerians he bellowed with mischief. The whole South South has collapsed into APC for you, he cracked with joviality.

The way he handled the comedic sole endorsement of Tinubu for 2027 took a semblance of Night of a thousand laugh 😆. He handled it so professionally that the unseriouness of the Party APC and its members became undeniably obvious. Just imagine the crop of personalities that are driving this vehicle called Nigeria 😭

Coalition! Unless it is done without self interest , greed, allowing the best, the competent, the less carrier of messy baggage etc to fly the flag, the comedic boast of the Senate President would come to pass, not out of genuine support from the masses but through lack of formidable opposition.

With these Comedians at the helm of our political affairs, the walk to our freedom if nothing is done before 2027 is far off.

Coalition without a brand name that resonates with the masses would be a political blinking in the dark. 2015 Coalition worked because of the brand name which resonated with the masses then , which sadly became a nightmare( Ojuju Calabar) later.

Nigerians are boiling and brewing, looking for cold showers to calm them, the heat, frustration and helplessness of this present reality cannot give one the cold showers we all desire.
