For many years, Atiku courted the media
He played on the social media
He showed us that he watched Wakanda in a public cinema
He tweeted his office and his children’s visit
Four years ago,
Atiku swarmed the social media and danced atikulation.
Today, Obi has displaced Atiku
Atiku’s social media vuvuzelas have disatikulated
Now,
Atiku has remembered that 90% of voters in the north know nothing about the social media
Atiku knows Petermania has dislodged him in many parts in the south
So
He wants to brand Obidiency as tomfoolery
Atiku knows that in a democracy a strong voice could be better than a thousand votes
He knows the social media controls the streets
And the streets affect the villages
But bear with Atiku
He must be regretting not forging a quick alliance with Obi
He must be regretting not keeping the genie in his agbada pocket.
