2015 – The Bourdillon calculation

So much tension over the coming election. Another crescendo is the supposed purchase of warships by Mr Government Tompolo. (How can someone’s name be Government sef?) But pause first.

Lets talk about APC and the bourdillon calculation.
How do you wrest power from a ruling party when your own party is as corrupt if not more corrupt than the ruling one? Well you use the GMB formula!

Hold up a beacon, especially a self righteous  beacon so desperate for power he jettisons his own principles to go into alliance with people of questionable characters,  emergency progressives who two weeks ago were conservatives and will switch back if they dont get what they want.

Then use change as the mantra, people everywhere always want change and care less what kind of change; you know the way many car drivers would rather be moving than wait out a traffic jam even if the alternative route takes longer than the wait? Such is the mind of the people especially the undiscerning ones.

Ok so we have a beacon and a mantra, next phase is hire a company that can sell both


” Abuja – The All Progressives Congress (APC) said it has engaged the services of an international political consulting firm, AKPD Message and Media, “to boast its electoral chances in the upcoming elections’’.
The APC Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja that the U.S. firm has a strong reputation for supporting leading populist movements across the globe.
“As a party destined to bring change and succour to all Nigerians, APC is proud and excited to work with one of the foremost exponents of change in the world,’’ the statement said.
It said that the Chicago-based firm was best known for its leading role in President Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012.” More at http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/02/2015-elections-apc-hires-foreign-consultant/

And if you are in doubt , according to wikipedia “AKPD’s advertising and strategy have been widely credited for significantly altering elections in their clients favor.” More at

So who is AKPD’s client, APC or the people?
Or are the Nigerian masses no more than just another business venture for APC?

Ok so you have your Media firm to deceive the people, what next?

I have continuously asked this question and yet to get an answer from GMB supporters;  what punishment awaits GMb’s party leaders and ex govs who have done incalculable financial damage to the country via nepotism, contract inflation, land grabbing, private jets purchases, stupendous wealth overnight etc.  Even GMB has been unable to answer.

Personally, I believe GMB wants to get into power first and then deal with them; being no fools either, these guys are waiting with the burdillon calculation.

If I am the Lion, and I know this man I am putting in power can turn on me and not only whittle my influence but also put me in jail what will I do since I’m not stupid?

Well the primary objective is to wrest power the next would be to seize that power once its wrested. 
How do you seize power in a democracy?
you impeach the president! 

Are you saying that cant be done? Ok how did General Buhari lose out as the head of state? He was outed in a palace coup without a shot fired in his defence!
  
If as a military man it was that easy to chase him out how easy would it be as a loner surrounded by wolves desperate to have access to the national coffers? 

Given Buhari’s antecedents,  it would be mere weeks for him to commit impeachable offences and for a man described as having no friends amongst the people hoisting him up, then getting him out would be a walk in the park.

So this Monday,  watch out for who is announced as his running mate and know that that person will become your commander in  chief weeks after may 29 if GMB does win the election. 
I sincerely hope its not former governor Tinubu 

That is the bourdillon calculation for you!

Note too, I heard that Senator Tinubu might be Ambodes deputy,  hehehe, if she is then you just met the first female governor in Nigeria for Ambode will also fall to the bourdillon calculation.

To Tompolos warships,  just like Christians have nothing to fear about the implementation of sharia in the whole country as canvassed by General Buhari, I guess the rest of Nigeria has nothing to fear from the warship after all warships function on the sea, so we have nothing to fear.

And am I sure that even if the south south secede, APC has the plan to move the rest of the country forward since in the country they hired AKPD from, the landowners own the resources on the land; I wouldn’t want 2015 to be about access to the oil in the south south I would want it to be about good governance as APC has been mouthing. 

 APC! change!
