AN EDITORIAL ON CARDINAL ODUMBAKU

Image result for AMBODE AND ODUMBAKUCardinal Odumbaku may be a man of the priestly robe, but it is doubtful if he ever heard of the name Adonijah in the bible. Adonijah was a son of king David and on impulse wanted to usurp the channel of leadership by treacherously getting fake supporters to make him king over Israel. He sensed that his was popular and as such skipped the official procedures when the real  king had not authorized. But Solomon's mother calmly went in and whispered to the ailing King David who instructed that Solomon-the rightful heir to the throne  be anointed King, dressed in his own very robe  and ride in his personal horse. When Adonijah and his fellow band of conspirators apparently boozed up from long celebration heard the tumultuous shout of joy coming from the  city, they asked the vital question: "what meanest this sound", and they were told the bitter truth. Today thousands of years later, a certain Cardinal Odumbaku  who dabbled into politics (whoops!should have known) audaciously wanted to subvert the popular will and  opinion of the people by falsely raising another  "successor" from nowhere, when the real "king" was still around--and in his very face. This brazen attempt --thanks be to God--who never sleeps has fallen flat in his face. This is all in bid to satisfy his personal ego and selfish  interest.  Now Lagos East Senatorial Zone along with the West has now seen the treachery in the evil design to remove Ambode from office. Not only that, the entire Nation and not least the International communities have all risen to smash the unholy gang up. Wonder why of all people a Cardinal should lead this spectacular betrayal. Well, Kudos to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinube for listening to voice of reason. Ambode welcome back. Forward ever, backward never. But the gist is: Ambode should learn to be a team player. In the game of politics, everyone is important.

  A recent court order widely regarded as an assault on customs and decency, seeking the exhumation of the corpse of a prominent Igbo chief, is largely seen as a misuse of judicial authority, and fear the backlash may lead to disruption of communal peace.
