#TNM can be term as a group of desperate and highly overzealous political men. Perhaps, Kwankwaso’s recent move could be seen as a political suicide only when it happens to be otherwise and this can only be judged by time.
I dearly love Kwankwaso not for who he is personally but for who he was and who is aspiring to be in the political realm of our current dispensation. I love him for his penchant attitude towards the plights of Malam talaka, that communist habit is what often makes me fall for him politically.
However, with regards to his nagging behavior of being always at the top of every movement, that’s to say his ” Alu Ja ” mentality which is enough to aptly be synonymous with his excessive power chasing attitude, sorry to say that’s his side which I begin to despise because it doesn’t stand well with my whims.
Under no condition, a wise person must always cherish to be at the top except when it’s proven he is ahead of anyone across all the leadership attributes yet at some points there is a need for him to relinquish his position for others to taste the sweetness of it.
The likes of Baba Sule Lamido of Jigawa ( The one-man political battalion ) in the Nigerian political domain and many others who have had keenly stayed within their lanes despite the political storm and hazy moments they witnessed during their career are the ones that deserve to be in Kwankwaso’ shoe for their resiliency and consistency have proven them to be the man of which Madugu is helter-skelter craving to be.
I don’t know that posterity hold for us but the recent political moves denotes a danger signal to Madugu movement for he is longer stepping his foot in the right place and that might cause him a lot politically but it’s not our wish to witness his downfall politically because he has all it takes to beautify the lives of the living destitute Talakwas.
Thus, PMB despite his unapologetic followers and unflinching support he enjoys from outside and within respectively, never tried what Kwankwaso Is into and scale through except with the exception of 2015 where things mysteriously happened to pave way for him to actualize his long time dream.
With reference to that, there is an utmost need for our Beloved Madugu to have a rethink and makes through scrutiny and meticulous calculations against his recent political move, else, his failure to be as wise he expected to be would probably generate a gargantuan waterloo to his political movement.
A stitch in time saves nine!
