Ganduje’s Expected Fears For The APGA Revolution In Anambra

IZUCHUKWU ADICHIE 

It was Shakespeare that said that cowards die many times before their death—-.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Ganduje, said recently at his party’s colloquium at Nnewi that Anambra State is not making the needed progress. People should not misunderstand Ganduje but should locate his speech in its proper perspective.

 

Ganduje and his party, the APC, are preparing for next year’s Anambra governorship election, and like a seasoned politician, he has seen the Soludo albatross standing solidly against their ambition.

 

He has also evaluated the APC paperweight politicians, who are pretending to run against the man of the moment and Anambra’s political hurricane, Professor Chukwuma Soludo.

 

Ganduje is an experienced piper, who knows when the tune has changed and who dictates a better tune. He has heard, he has seen and he knows, that the paperweights that facilitated his visit to the state were no match yesterday for the hurricane Professor in Agu Awka, they are no match today and will not be in 2025.

 

He knows that the Professor his party recently appointed Economic Adviser to the President is not in the same league with the rabble-rousers that brought him to Awka.
He knows all these but he couldn’t tell them this truth. It is called diplomacy. The art of mocking someone and making it look like you are praising the person. That’s what happened at the Nnewi colloquium.

 

What Soludo has achieved in Anambra in just two years is beyond the infantile posturing of the APC paperweights, and Ganduje knows that leaving Anambra to the leadership of the jesters would be accelerating backwards.

 

Ganduje understands this clearly but he must say something to appease the audience, and for lack of anything meaningful to say, he spoon-fed his party’s rabble-rousers with the cliche, “Anambra isn’t making the progress needed.” While his moronic audience were still clapping, he flew back to Abuja and probably put a call across to Soludo, his party’s Economic Adviser, and they had a good laugh at the show he put up.

 

That’s politics for you.
