For those who have sentenced themselves to inconsolable wailing since
\nPresudent Buhari and APC defeated former President Jonathan and the PDP in
\nthe epic, March 28 presidential election, the last few weeks were like
\nweeks of second death. For those who have embraced witless and headless
\nopposition\u00a0 to every action taken thus far by President Buhari to mend the
\nship-wrecked Nigerian state that was writhing on the throes of death
\nbefore March 28, as a way of advertising their anger and shock for that
\nepochal defeat, the spate of recant their apex leaders in the fight to
\nsustain the Jonathan regime did last week added to the open sores of March
\n28. For those who have become popularly known in the Nigerian media as the
\nWailing Wailers, the shock is so comprehensive that they have become
\nsuddenly speechless.First was the Godfather of former President Jonathan who could pass for
\nthe patron saint of PDP, Edwin Clark. He was the lodestar for the battle
\nto re-elect Jonathan and was a clearing house of sorts to the converging
\ntendencies that coalesced to sustain Jonathan in power after what was
\ngenerally seen as a dismal six years in power. For the re-election of
\nJonathan, Edwin Clark fretted and threatened with so much force that
\nnothing and nobody, not even former President Obasanjo was spared of his
\nbile. He fell short of levying war against whosoever never saw the wisdom
\nin voting Jonathan in March and he was privy to gathering a motley crowd
\nof elderly PDP sympathizers in the South to form a Southern Elders Forum
\nthat unabashedly campaigned for Jonathan and the PDP.<\/p>\n

But it was another Edwin Clark who, last week not only disclaimed the PDP
\nbut threw wholehearted support for President Buhari especially in his war
\nagainst corruption. Clark not only dismissed the charge of selective
\nprosecution of the anti corruption war, which the hirelings of the PDP has
\nmade their daily catena but fell short of describing his godson, Jonathan
\nas a derelict that has no guts to fight corruption. Were the rabid
\nanti-Buharists shocked? No, they were shellacked! They were beaten flat
\nfor here is their godfather, a general of the battle they are prolonging
\nby their syndicated hysteria, throwing them so pitiably under the bus and
\nalso damning the man for whom they have so exerted themselves to support.
\nIt was a red day for the Wailing Wailers.<\/p>\n

If there is any woman that fits the feminine equivalent of Edwin Clark in
\nthe order of reverence by the Wailing Wailers, it was the immediate past
\nFinance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the economy under Jonathan.
\nEven when most Nigerians feel this woman’s long stay as our economic
\nmanager rubbed off very negatively in the lives of Nigerians, the
\nJonathanians and PDP apologists; in fact the a wailing Wailers,\u00a0 deify her
\nas the next best thing God imbued on Nigerians after pure water. To them,
\nshe is omniscient, beyond sin and reproach. They worship her every
\nfootstep and she was dubbed the Prime Minister of the Jonathan regime.
\nLast week, and from nowhere, Okonjo Iweala was to pour encomiums on
\nPresident Buhari government like a nubile maiden serenading her newfound
\nlover. She not only praised Buhari’s conduct of statecraft but said her
\ndecision to work under Jonathan might have been a mistake! She was
\nspeaking on September 30 as a guest lecturer at the University of
\nPennsylvania, United States,<\/p>\n

Next was Stella Oduah, one of the poster girls of the Jonathan regime who
\nwas implicated in a swathe if scandals as Minister of Aviation under
\nJonathan but who was, nonetheless sponsored by the PDP to emerge senator
\nin Anambra State. In a recent interview, Oduah not only hailed what she
\ncalled the clear policy direction of the Buhari regime. Her points of
\nexcitement were the firm intervention by the Buhari regime that ended the
\ncoup in Burkina Faso and the plan of the regime to restore the national
\ncarrier.<\/p>\n

Then entered Godswill Akpabio, the guy who had an a-rating appearance in
\nall the shenanigans and intrigues launched to ensure PDP remains in
\nperpetual power. If Edwin Clark was the Commander in chief of the futile
\nPDP\/Jonathan entrenchment efforts, Akpabio was the Chief of Staff. He was
\nthe enforcer of the PDP will amongst PDP members and manned the gate of
\nthe party, deciding who entered, who stays and who leaves. He was known to
\nleverage his state’s resources to the fight for the re-election of
\nJonathan, among many other illegal fonts of funding that whetted that ill
\nfated battle. On the day he returned from hospitalization abroad after a
\nroad accident in Abuja (many wonder why he did not patronize the so calked
\nworld class hospital he lousily boasts of building in Akwa Ibom), this
\nenfant terrible of the Jonathanian PDP was to address his people, given
\nhigh marks to the Buhari regime’s government and policies do far.<\/p>\n

For the Wailing Wailers, these are blasphemies issuing forth from the very
\nepicenter of their temple. They are crest fallen. They are heart broken.
\nThey are still simmering in great shock that their leaders could so leave
\nthem in the lurch; in the scorching sun and bolt. They are devastated that
\nthose that led them to am embarrassing position where they have even
\nbecome embarrassing to themselves, struggling with the truth and his best
\nways to deface it, have left them so high and dry- on the very crossroads.
\nThey are still trying to gather their broken selves together to string
\nrabid responses to these earth-shaking disappointments. Gradually, they
\nare gathering violent words and abuses for Clark, Oknonjo iweala and
\nOduah.\u00a0 They are bitter. They are frustrated and they are confused on who
\nelse to follow.<\/p>\n

For the avoidance of doubts, I had never been a dan of the four and will
\nnever be despite their gallant efforts to admit the truth their marooned
\nfollowers will like them to hush.\u00a0 God so kind, we have a President who is
\nso indifferent to flattery and humour; a President that\u00a0 can smell jesting
\nand fawning from several miles off, a President that can never ever be
\nfound to fund and reward flattery so trying to curry his favor through
\nsuch curtsying that is implied in the confessions of the pole leaders of
\nthe PDP is an effort that in futility But I don’t think that in admitting
\nthe truth, these and many other PDP leaders that have been wrestling with
\ntheir consciences since the well-applauded change in the polity happened,
\nwere out for favor hunting. Theirs is such relief when after struggling
\nwith the truth, you turn around to surrender for no one wins a war against
\ntruth.<\/p>\n

But in all these, the great pity is the withering club of Wailing Wailers
\nwho pose as commissioned newspaper columnists, stranded politicians,
\nerrant passengers in public buses, the ready-to-snap layabout, the
\nubiquitous Facebook politicians and their ilk who have ran themselves into
\nthe uncomfortable position where they are condemned to wail on every move
\ntaken by President Buhari. The distraught, desolate, hurting and
\ninconsolable scoffers that have made a life business of scoffing at every
\nmove by Buhari to cleanse the stable of rot he inherited on May 28 are the
\nworst hit by the gale of confessions hitting apex leaders of PDP lately.
\nThose that have forged ready-made wailing points on every issue since
\nMarch 28 because they lost their fonts of corrupt enrichment are the most
\nbadly beaten in the ensuing political development that is emerging. They
\nhave become distraught and confused orphans that are robbed of their
\nparentage by the battle with truth.\u00a0 They are presently hanging
\nprecariously on the very alleyways of our politics as they try feverishly
\nto decipher what has hit their camps so early in the days of a regime that
\nhas so inflicted deep gashes on them.<\/p>\n
