Atiku: Aching Knee, Painful Stand

Nigerians On Monday (March 12^th, 2007) woke up with the news of the Atiku’s injury and he’s being flown abroad. Ordinarily that is enough to arrest compassion for him and, given his many battles win him more attention from the electorate.

But if Atiku got anything from it, it was that the incident further alienated him from the public. Or what do one say when an opportunity by the VP to identify with the failing health system in the country is thrown away? So how does he want the support of the public he doesn’t relate with? Is this not a case of shying away from the reality on ground? Who then Does atiku want to serve? Londoners?

It’s just a pity himself and the AC ‘egg-heads’ felt he is unsafe in the system they are touting him to serve and perhaps ‘die’ for.

Well we know where those of us who don’t have access to the Presidential Jet and to Cromwell Hospital in London would vote.

It’s the eve of the general elections and we thought some common feeling will come to play. It did, or did it not?

Safe trip and we wish you “soonest recovery”.

As for us our life is in our hands and we won’t gamble with it.
