When I first heard the announcement, I threw all decorum away and laughed loud and long.
A political appointment for her? Who dreamt up this crazy scheme?
I have a nagging feeling that it wasn’t Goodluck’s idea at all but a direct request from his beloved and dearest herself.
Many people have tried to relay their disapproval as regards the appointment, some even going as far as suggesting that a more obscure role would have been more suitable for her but no one has summoned enough guts to say in detail why they felt that way. So in the spirit of freedom of speech, I guess it is up to me to say it as I see it. * clears throat*
Taking the bull by the horn isn’t a favorite hobby of mine or something I am inclined to do regularly, (don’t get me wrong o! I come from a family of brave men!) so I will say my mind in well-concealed coded sentences that will be clear yet vague, understandable yet inferred.
So here goes.
Ok. It is no trade secret that mama isn’t the most avid speaker nor the most eloquent for that matter and as you may well know, charisma void of relevant content has never really taken any person that far.
If you like, you can ask Sonekan.
So branding her with the content-seeking and word-rich post of a Permanent secretary is tantamount to sharing loaded pistols to members of the house of assembly during a crucial meeting.
Is she even qualified for such a vocabulary-demanding role such as this or was it just handed to her? In addition, who would monitor her to ascertain her effectiveness in the said role?
The person want make dem sack am?
As Nigerians show their shock at this distasteful development born of nepotism, we ask ourselves the pertinent question to ascertain our readiness by borrowing a phrase from mama.
My fellow widows, are we safe?
