they “can’t stop a moving train.” In Kaduna on March 28, the moving train of the APC derailed both as fact and as metaphor. The following day, on March 29, the second leg of the Nigeria-Ghana World Cup qualifier was to occur.

For that first leg, across the geographical space of Nigeria and its various diversities, they all seemed to wish the Super Eagles well in Kumasi.
In one of those wicked coincidences that only Providence has the capacity to craft, on the day after the Kumasi match, Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress, the Federal Capital for its elective convention. It was a gathering of nearly everyone who is anyone in political Nigeria, including the President, his deputy, their cabinet, 22 governors and the leadership of the legislature at state and federal levels, not to mention captains of business and industry.
