Ikedi Ohakim Describes Tinubu As “Ijele”

Ikedi Ohakim, a former governor of Imo State has described Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress as a big masquerade of Nigerian politics. He referred to an adage about a big masquerade not staying too long in a dancing arena because it doesn’t want to lose its aura.

He further emphasized that the former governor of Lagos state came to Imo State accompanied by prominent figures including the party’s national chairman and the vice presidential candidate. According to Ohakim, the presence of these prominent men in Imo is an attestation that Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu is a big masquerade who has won the war even before the battle began.

In his words;

“…Our elders say a big masquerade doesn’t stay too long in a dancing arena, else it will lose its aura. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a big masquerade. He is what Igbos called the ‘Ijele’ of the politics of Nigeria.”
