When a man tells you
I’m doing Oransaye reforms
But I can’t reduce the size of my bloated cabinet
That man is listening to skelewu and dancing awilo
May confusion not break his bone.
When a man tells you
My bloated cabinet is for efficiency
I’m keeping my bloated cabinet to enhance efficiency
That man is swallowing eba with tea
Constipation is his portion
When a man tells you
We will incentivise farmers with low interest loans
We will produce food
We will supply Saudi Arabia with food
I will surprise you with 2000 tractors
But the man has spent one and half years of his four year presidential tenure supervising a reversion to the importion of food
That man doesn’t know the right o clock
He is trying to do 100 km per hour with his wheelbarrow
When a man who talks endlessly about the country living above its means
Has spent scarce resources buying a new jet for his office
And has been travelling the world like a Saudi Sheikh
That man is a proper ‘do as I say’ not ‘do as I do’
The Bible has a name for them
When a man holds his first media chat one and half years after becoming president despite hunger and insecurity ravaging the land
And comes to the media chat to say that he yielded to NLC protests and increased the minimum wage, after devaluing the currency, to stem corruption
That man needs a three month holiday in France.
