The Nation Newspaper Supreme gambit, supreme crash

The willy-nilly presidential wannabes, on October 25, got their supreme comeuppance. Now, the polity can breathe! Yet, that bubble was so cynically wrought: with so much hell-raising, garnished with maximum muck-raking, to cause so much angst and pain in the land.

Indeed, beyond raw emotions, both had hardly any case. That was why they took their “evidence” to the court of rabid supporters, rather than the clinical court of justice. That rebuke, over the infantile position by a silk, could well be fine metaphor for how empty the case was. Still, such resort to Gbajue tactics to game the apex court, was a laughable ploy to try trickery, after cold logic, in facts and figures, had abysmally failed.

Not so, for opportunistic critics that seized the Atiku/Obi legal vacuity to dance naked, all for Obi’s empty cause. Vacuity, it would appear, merrily begets vacuity!Robert Clarke, SAN, 50 years at the Bar, told Channels TV: “I have every belief, and I seriously believe that the unanimous judgment of the Court of Appeal is unassailable. It is as fixed as you can fix anything and I can assure you that if there is an appeal, I doubt whether anything can come out of the appeal.

So, Chimamanda beware! But then, reputation suicide is a democratic choice! A writer sans integrity is as dead as dodo, though he lives a thousand years!
