Making a binary choice in Nigerian politics comes at a considerable price: partiality. Once you wholeheartedly believe that Mr A is right and Mr B is wrong, you are in a big mess - forgive my diction, please. You will be left to struggle always to rationalise and justify what the big men do. You will be under pressure to, again and again, defend the indefensible.
For instance, the PDP supporters forget or ignore that their members have cases at the EFCC until they decamp to APC. The APC's fans equally forgive or overlook politicians' wrongdoings once they defect to their party. Both consider their members as saints until they leave their parties.
And, now, the CJN saga. The same folks who once believed that whoever does wrong should be punished now preach that the allegedly corrupt head of the judiciary is only unjustly hunted by the presidency. Yes, the timing is wrong by the Nigerian political dispensation. However, I think the question we should be asking is whether or not he's guilty as charged. In some countries we cherish, even (immediate) former presidents/prime ministers have been tried and acquitted or convicted. Who's CJN?
Another voice from within reminds me of how the same presidency allowed a forger, Kemi Adeosun to fly out of the country without any charge. Why is David Babachir still not charged? Why is Dr Abdullahi Ganduje not investigated? Why, why and why?
You see the danger of absolute loyalty to a political party in Nigeria? They are more similar than dissimilar; closer than apart. I have tried to swing to a side for long, as some of you, but I just cannot. I enjoy my pendulum-like stance and clear viewpoint.
Allah ya gyara mana Naija, amin.
