DEMYSTIFICATION OF A POLITICAL TROJAN HORSE.

Trojanism in this short piece shall be defined as a Machiavellian tool in a political power game wherein an individual is/was used to secure victory over political rivals in a Democratic contestation.

Any individual used in that manner can be called Political Trojan Horse and @Apcnigeria "National Leader" belongs in that political characterization. Please don't cry for him let him carry his cross alone.

Do not cry for me Nigerians neither must you take crisis ventilation within @Apcnigeria as ethnic rivalry rather it is a natural paradigm expected in an association formed out of disparate interest.
Please, do not cry for me Nigerians.

Leadership is about influence not necessarily the pursuit of power for self  aggrandizement or for private economic advantages which are at the source of some of the problems bedeviling @Apcnigeria.

Unbridled ambitions and ego tripping have become the hallmark of those in leadership positions in the party that they have resulted into creating an island of political hangers-on some spieces of diehard demagogue willing to write the obituary of the party just because things are not going their ways. 

Let me say here that no man is greater than the party or Nigeria. I am bold to say that even Baba Awolowo of blessed historical achievements will not make such frivolous claim of being the political leader of Yoruba race rather it was an imposition on the sage.
 

The essence of leadership is not to arrogate to oneself titles that must be given by the generality of the people because to do otherwise is vanity humanoid vain.

There is fire on the mountain run as quickly as possible "national leader" to avoid political harakiri since the desperation for power in Ondo State and other political machinations fractionalizing @Apcnigeria as presented to us with commentaries from various party stalwarts reflect the politricks of Trojanism and the demise of Godfatherism within the party.

The party can't be slavish to one man ambition, let members be people with their own political convictions. Godfatherism is a dying breed.
