Winners Must Take All – Adewale Sobowale

If you’ve lost an election, it is a sign that the people do not want you. So, I’m warning you to buy a map of Nigeria, look for your obscure village, and flee there.

Winner ooo!
Winner!
Lagbaja you don win o!
Patapata you must win for ever!

Yes!
Winner must take all!

We must start with those who had the audacity to contest with you, thereby letting you waste time,money and other resources. If they refuse to leave willingly then you must force them to leave the cities and go to their villages. Let’s give them a fraction of the campaign money so that they won’t have any excuse.

Over to the electorate. What electorate? Those who collected financial and other benefits before they voted. A beegii!

Tell them that when I finish paying the loan with which I contested, I still have some other things in mind before thinking of the electorate.

Like what?

I have to salt away enough cash for the next elections. If I do that, I would not need to go a borrowing when another election comes.

I also need to take care of myself. You know as a representative of the people, I must not just be a representative in name, I must look it.

A new castle that is even better than a king’s palace. It’s better if I have a fortress with a basement.

I haven’t forgotten the so-called king makers. Look at Idi Amin. He used to be the best of friends with Obote. In fact, the former made him his Chief of General Staff. What became of Obote?

If Fela was alive, he would have been singing ‘water, lighti, foodu,housu’. He is lucky to have died. He would have become a frustrated man.
I am confessing to you that I will not waste my time to provide any social amenity.

And I think I need an oil block. That is to prove to those who are yet to know that I have arrived. I am not just in the corridor of power. I AM the power.

May be when I have satisfied myself and my family, I will now think of the gullible electorate!
