Misery, peculiar to the individual, is the genre of private experience. But when co-opted as tribal angst and wielded by a governor in his mathematic of social space, it becomes a weapon.
El Rufai’s rhetoric commands an exercise of the eye, not of the mind. At best, he should be accorded the passing tribute of a sigh. Thus is the unwritten rule of political survival. Many of his aides, associates and presumed loyalists are simply “doing the needful” to earn a living, hence their silence is understandable in the face of the governor’s misguided missiles.
In the spotlight, El Rufai feasts like the mythical Narcissus; chewing on vile drama, he reduces outrage and criticism of his plots to soupy and primeval desert. His tirade’s emotional power comes from the brutal contrast between his smirking vanity and the sudden melting of his features beyond recognition. Call it his holocaust and apocalypse.
According to El Rufai, he speaks “the naked truth,” and he added, that, the north still has a lot to be proud of in the person of Aliko Dangote, allegedly the richest man in Nigeria. Let us also hope, that, his target audience are aware that his speech at the summit was tailored to mute their dissent over his resounding flaws as an elder and objectionable stature amid “the oldest five per cent of the northern population,” as he rightly acknowledged.
