An adage in Yoruba Land says " Eegun to ba koko Jo, iran lo ma wo kehin" Meaning,the masquerade that dance first would become a spectator at the end of the show.
This is probably the best way to described the situation in which some governorship gladiators in Osun state recently defiled the party instructions or restrictions order. Many of them who can be seen working within limited funds rolled up their sleeves and went round the state galavanting and selling their inordinate ambitions......
At intervals and different spots they were reported to have dropped their megre cash and mostly without manifesto but simply dropping names and making bogus promises.
In the real sense and under decency and party loyalty this act certainly amounted to party indiscipline and by extension a direct confrontation to the sitting governor and a serious attempt to undermine him and to make him derailed in his governance which ordinarily should be seen as collective responsibilities to every serious party persons.
The reverse was the case in the last one months or two with each of the supposed gladiators trying to outsmart each others.
All gladiators are tired. None of them is rich to withstand the storm.
Money was reported to have exchanged hands,tongues and counter words have gone round the state but the "committed gladiators" are seriously waiting,consulting, overhauling their structures,drawing their manifesto and waiting for the party bell before they come out and soon, it's clear that the men shall be separated from the boys..
To those who have lost money and to those who have maligned the sitting governor names and to those who have vowed or promised to reverse some of his policies..
Everything seem to be on low key.
The coast is getting clearer,the restrictions shall come to an end, the public must have formed opinion...Let the music play on and let's see who laughs last.
