On Thursday last week, President Bola Tinubu perfectly played the role of the General of a troop going to war. He gave a pep talk to APC party troops marching state-wards for the primary election. It was a speech garnished with onions and flavoured by aromatic spices of currie and thyme. The eventual cuisine from the presidential pot exuded a tantalizing aroma that colonised the nose. The president was pleased with that “historic moment” as “the party we formed just like yesterday is gearing up for its fourth election cycle”. Then he waxed lyrical about progressive politics and values embedded in the APC. The party, he said, was one “founded… on the firm principles of progressive politics…personal devotion and sacrifice…selflessness”. He then urged unity among the ranks of the party as “our opponents are waiting for us to be against each other; we should disappoint them.”
