I understand another judgment day
comes tomorrow... it's an all PDP affair so you will be right to wonder my
business. It is my business because it is a public affair. Simple!
The permutations interest me
because it has wider implications beyond the party. Will the Markarfi faction
win? They seem to represent mainstream PDP. Or will the Sheriff faction perform
a miracle of survival?
There are those who believe Sheriff's victory will mean
APC connivance to kill PDP. Others like Governor Ayade will seem to breathe
easier with this faction even though some of us wonder where that will be
heading in the long run. Unless of course they want to do a deal with APC in
the near future.
And losing? This faction seems to be warming up to do an
immediate deal with APC, not in the future no matter how near. NOW!!
And the other faction? They have a new party waiting in
the wings! Interesting days ahead. Those who believe that PDP "owns"
Cross River State are waiting to retake their party and see if they can dust up
some fresh relevance for her. Without a Governor and government, I want to see
the magic Imoke says he can perform. Head or tail, APC wins. It feels good to
be in power and in control. It is not that easy to sustain being at the top
though. The days ahead look ominous to me.
In our state, I see a storm coming if Sheriff and his few
supporters lose; they may find themselves juggling for space almost immediately
in APC! The shape will be formless. The lines will take a while to draw.
New" friends" will be made and some lost. New "enemies" too
will emerge and nothing will remain the same ever after! New front lines will
take a while to be drawn and shape up. APC in the state will soon forget how
she ever was!
Welcome tomorrow. This tomorrow will surely come!
