Tinubu’s Assault on Subsidy Is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – Hon Obahiagbon

Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon (IGODOMIGODO), who also went round the country with Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign team, says the President’s frontal assault “on subsidy is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. (What he means is that Tinubu’s decision on subsidy is great).

There are many more of such bombastic words. But he believes that Tinubu will deliver and take Nigeria out of the woods.

Excerpts from his interview:

You campaigned vigorously all over the country for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to become the President of Nigeria. Are you fulfilled that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President of Nigeria today?

My sense of fulfillment can be announced at mountain Olympus. The presidential campaign was quite enervating and mentally sapping no doubt but I was not didymusian that we were going to huzzah a political eureka at the terminus ad quem with a clinical and unstoppable presidential victory for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. (He’s simply saying that he was sure of Tinubu’s victory)

What is your reaction to the President’s position on the removal of subsidy?

Am maniacally bewildered that the righteous position of Mr President on subsidy has generated some verbal animadversion from some censorious analysts. What did the President say that was new? Mr President only gave a Presidential obiter dictum to what was already a self-fulfilling reality.

It just goes to demonstrate the fact that we are our problems in this country. (Most people knew subsidy would be removed so President Tinubu merely did the obvious)

Many believe that Tinubu shouldn’t have said the subsidy is gone and that that was what created the chaos and panic.

It verges on hair-splitting and sciamachy for critiques to go to town calumniating Mr President as being culpable for the pandemonium that greeted his statement when he said at the presidential inauguration that the regime on subsidy has come to an end.

He was only echoing a legal reality that the Buhari government has enthroned. Has there not been regular chaos in this aspect of our lives before Mr President’s statement? There was no basis for the chaos following his speech since this was a situation the nation was well aware of.

Let us blame our mephistophelian profiteers, philistine carpet baggers and prebendal homo-sapiens. What we need right now is an audacious leader capable of providing himself as a political minesweeper and taking the big decisions. So from that point of view, Mr President’s asseveration on the subsidy indaba was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (What he means is that Tinubu’s decision on subsidy is great but we should blame profiteers for the initial chaos)

Do you believe that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will perform?

Am supremely confident he has the requisite mental pabulum, the leviathan sense of magnitude and sheer audacity to take both the right and big decisions that will lift the country from the bootstraps of economic quagmire, political phantasmagoria and social atrophy.

His political history also proves that he is a political agglutinant with a gargantuan drive to provide the much-needed anodyne that would heal our pestilential and pestiferous national proclivities. (He is saying Tinubu will perform)
