When the noise rented the air like a thunderbolt, one was tempted to conclude that there was substance in their agitations. Quite a few Atiku Abubakar media lapdogs appeared with leaked saliva all over their mouths, seemingly aroused by a false hope of catching President Tinubu’s pants down. Indeed they have been running from one media house to another, trying to sustain a public discourse that would suggest that they have a case. This their latest drama is one of the most insanely and idiotic things I ever saw; their incoherent attempts at jackpot, moved further away from anything that could be considered rational with every stride; and, they have left everyone dumber for having listened to them in the first place. They turned themselves into courts of jurisdiction, and played the role of both the accuser and the Judge. They told us they had germane grounds of appeal; which grounds are pre-election matters. How can they be questioning President Tinubu’s eligibility to run now? Where were they when he declared his interest in becoming Nigeria’s president? This is the desperation I wrote about earlier. These guys are desperately trying to arm-twist the process through the backdoor.

Prof Tukur Baba’s emergence as spokesperson for the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) will make news on two key grounds. First ground is the how crisis communications is, like many other realms in Nigeria, in a state of mess. The second is the emergence of a radical as spokesperson for an organization generally but erroneously regarded as conservative. The ACF is erroneously regarded as a conservative platform because no object has an inherently radical or conservative meaning. All meanings are dependent on what is at stake at a particular time and space. That’s why a rogue can do something profoundly radical just as a man of God or a even a communist can do something profoundly conservative. Investing anybody or anything with a radical or conservative identity on a permanent basis is thus part of our Cartesian heritage which we have so thoroughly internalised as to remain lost in its radius.
