UMANA SLUMPS AS PLOT TO RETIRE CJN IN VIEW OF AKWA IBOM'S JUDGEMENT BEGINS

When the Supreme Court in a panel of 7 justices declared Chief Barr. Nyesom Wike Governor yesterday it broke the hearts of so many people. In fact, all the people in the politico-concentration camp called APC were suddenly despaired. Most devastating of all are those who left Wike's Victory camp barely two weeks ago to join Amaechi's Utopian Calvary. Their grieve was that Gov. Wike had share all the juicy appointments without giving them. This treachery turns out to be very effective against them. It's what the parasite, selfishness, does to its host. Today they are neither comfortable in APC nor welcome in Wike's PDP. They are in what I believe the famous Language and Political Theorist Dante Alighieri would agree with me to be "Political Purgatory"- utterly stranded in uselessness as far as politics is concern. A summary dismissal without the benefit of political pension! And the next four years is going to be a tenebrific experience for them. It is earnestly unimaginable what a man like Gov. Wike can achieve in four years of being totally in charge in Rivers State.
Interestingly, the ripple effect of this like that August 9th 1945 bombing of   Hiroshima in Nagasaki is a palpable apprehension in not far away Akwa Ibom State. Those who left PDP in the state to join the APC are beginning to reconsider their steps and review their decision. The leader of that camp Obong Umana Okon Umana is beginning to develop Politically inflicted Parkinson condition. Word on the street is that he slumped yesterday when the news reached him. It is gathered that he subsequently made efforts to reach Amaechi who has not really been his good friend lately to explain what was happening. And trust the people to propaganda; they have already started considering retiring the Chief Judge of the Federation whom they suspect to have some sort of soft spot for PDP being the party that appointed him CJN at such old age in the first place.
Suddenly, Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed is too old to be Chief Judge of Nigeria but Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is not too old to be president of Nigeria. This aspersion is coming from Amaechi's wing of the APC who are beginning to also suspect that in four years they would have outlived their usefulness and Wike may likely be Buhari's most sought after in South South should President Buhari renege on his single term agreement to seek a second term. At that point somebody like Rotimi Amaechi would have become a political vegetable in Rivers State bereft of any bargaining power in the system.
Now, as we approach the catharsis of this epic political drama come February 15 when the Supreme Court rules on Akwa Ibom State Gubernatorial polls there is no gainsaying that the hand writing on the wall is clear! Who would have thought that the APC did not have the whole of the judiciary in their pockets following the way they have been influencing some critical political judgments to the obloquy of the nation? Thankfully the narrative is changing by what literature professionals would term "Deus Ex Machina" denoting the Act of God. In weeks we shall see if this God shall extend his work to Akwa Ibom state. Meanwhile, it is imperative to recall here that it was Gov. Udom Emmanuel who first hinted of this divine and wondrous machinations when he openly exhorted the people of Akwa Ibom after the Court of Appeal's controversial judgment in the following words: “Our God is not a God of Appeal but the Supreme God and so we will follow the Supreme God to the Supreme Court.”
