Let us tell ourselves the truth.
Five states with the highest FAAC allocation in Nigeria are Delta, Rivers, Lagos, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom.
Apart from Lagos, others were PDP in 1999 and till the Governor of Akwa Ibom joined APC a few months, they all remained PDP states.
The kind of democracy we practice is very, very expensive. Campaigns, consultations and all that cost a lot and these Niger Delta states were the financial strength oiling the PDP.
That was why Obasanjo did not joke with the zone.
But since Sen Akpabio who himself was a PDP governor in Akwa Ibom state had been able to join the president to bring Governor Uno to APC, it is appearing like PDP will be left with no state among these Big FAAC Five.
Lagos has been progressive since the days of Awolowo.
Delta state became APC state not long ago.
Bayelsa is coming few days from today.
Sim of Rivers may and may not come but we know the political structure in that state that it favours APC today.
By the time President Tinubu is through with PDP, they will realize that the elders are not wrong when they said that a woman being chased by a fierce dog has no time to hold her breasts while running.
