This isn’t politics, this is character failure at the highest level.
By Saadiya Adebisi
A man went to war for you politically. He defended you when others walked away. He took hits, made enemies and helped clear the path that brought you to power.
Today, he loses his mother… and this is when you choose to draw a line?
You suddenly remember “political differences” to the point that you can’t even offer simple, human respect? You refer to her as “their mother” - cold, distant, calculated as if compassion now requires party approval.
Your Excellency, power has exposed you.
Because only a certain kind of person forgets loyalty this tquickly. Only a certain kind of person benefits from someone’s sacrifices, then turns around and acts like they owe them nothing not even basic decency in a moment of grief.
That woman isn’t just “his mother.” She is part of the story that helped shape the man who stood by you when it mattered most. The least you owe is respect - not this dry, politically-filtered acknowledgment.
This is how people reveal themselves not in speeches, not in campaigns, but in moments like this.
When gratitude is absent.
When empathy is selective.
When power replaces humanity.
No amount of protocol can hide it.
No statement can dress it up.
This is what hypocrisy looks like - raw and unfiltered.
I’m an Igbo man.
Bring Orji Uzor Kalu from the South East against Prof. Yemi Osibanjo from the SW. I will support Osibanjo with my entire household.
Bring Rochas Okorocha against Omoyele Sowore, I will support Sowore even in my dreams.
Bring Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi from the North and Rochas Okorocha from the East. I will support Sanusi with my entire household.
Bring Donald Duke from Cross River and Okezie Ikpeazu from Abia, I will not only support Donald Duke, I will campaign vigorously for him.
If you now bring Peter Obi against Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar. I will support Peter Obi over and over again.
90 percent of Igbos will tow this same line.
If you say we are playing tribal politics because of this, no wahala. We are happy to play such tribal politics.
If you say we are mumu people for supporting who does not have the capacity to rig himself into power, no wahala. We are mumu people.
Just for the records. I have never voted for an Igbo presidential candidate prior to the last general election.
That’s how politically tribalistic Igbos are.
