"I am a true Yoruba son, and in Yoruba-land it doesn’t matter who is right or who is wrong. It is the younger that will beg the older person, so I have begged Baba and I will continue to beg him.” With those words Governor Olu Gbenga of Ogun State went prostrate before the Otta deity asking for forgiveness. Icheoku asks OGD when he finally realize that he is a Yoruba son of the soil and one who understands what the Yoruba culture demands and stipulates in matters of disputes resolution between a young and the old?
Anyway Icheoku has nothing against the manner which OGD choose to make peace with his erstwhile mentor, but when one takes a gift from the devil like OGD took from OBJ, what else does he expect but absolute obedience and complete submission to the devil's whims and caprices. OGD ate Obasanjo's 'command and control' potion and lacks any moral fortitude to now fight him; so he had no choice but to capitulate to the real deal, the deity of Otta and now Ogun State without preconditions. The humiliation of going down on all fours is good for OGD; what a great lesson for all other future power-hungry politicians who turn to the devil for help. The moral lesson of OGD travails is that such sniveling power seekers cannot fight or revolt against the giver of their power as they will always be humbled at the end of the day. Governor Olu Gbenga, like Abubakar Atiku, has now been forced to eat the fabled OBJ's humbled pie and will never recover from it; neither will he ever be fully and truly forgiven by the very vindictive OBJ. Icheoku says this very Daniel has no judgment at all; what a pity!
