Public Amazement: Dora’s senatorship jingle-bell might be the wool this smart brainiac is employing to cover your eyes from seeing some secret plan. Dora is too wise to leave PDP like that and commit political apostasy with her eyes wide open. There’s more magic here only Wiki-Leak could unlock.
The Mischievous Pundit: This new love lost and love found with the APGA party seems shady. Dora Akunyili would emerge as Atiku’s running mate before she becomes senator under another party. The insinuation that she’s seeking to vie Senate under strange party doesn’t stick proper like glue. And how’d gentle governor Obi of Anambra State handle this hotshot of recently-resigned PDP woman, senatoring under him? Something doesn’t add up here. How’d APGA party faithful encourage Obi to be the Devil and superimpose the senatorship interest of by-now resigned PDP Dora over one of their own? In his private amazement, Dan Brown who authored the Da Vinci Code wrote “so deep is the con of man.” And now, a woman named Dora.
The Talent Show: In every talent show, you’ve the organiser and the juries with a mandate to act upon. Erstwhile vice-president Atiku is the event organiser this time, and some political leaders from the South East are the juries or talent scouts. The Northern consensus candidate Atiku has given some leaders from Igbo east - including Ojukwu, the hard assignment of choosing him a vice-president from the Igbo axis. The mischievous pundit would want to state here after consulting his crystal ball once again –that, Dora Akunyili seems likely to emerge Atiku’s Veepee rather than being a senator under governor Obi. So, supposing Atiku Abubakar emerges as the PDP flag-bearer and Dora is seconded as his running mate by the Ojukwu talent hunters, don’t get panicky. Only then, would most of you who have been in deep political slumber, run to your dictionaries to look for the meaning of ‘a political strategist.’ From then on, it’d have been clear to all why Madam Dora made the bubbles and rode the storm resigning her post.
The Campaign About Fielding More Women In Politics: The trending ho-ha about more women in politics is surely going to favour some female hustlers and shakers in 2011. Women champions, as President Jonathan Goodluck’s wife and other female groupings are campaigning up a storm for more women participation in politics. I’ve inkling that some presidential candidates have either by secret or open design, concluded to make woman their vice-president. What if Dora as a foresighted, has calculated to benefit from this women’s project which time has come, by resigning beforehand?  This is the proper time for hustling women to dare the Devil and take gamble of their political lives. It could only get better for 2011st century women in Nigeria no matter how the men folks press them down. Head or tail, the mischievous pundit can bet a fortune that Dora would come out of her stormy resignation better, than dragging the Information ministry with Ima Niboro and other hangers-on of Jonathan. Any presidential candidate who’d choose a woman running mate in 2011 would change the political game in Nigeria in the positive and help swing voters to his side. Such scheming would’ve unsettled and relegated Jonathan Goodluck to petty position as a candidate, in the aftermath of choosing a man as his 2i/C.
Put On Your Thinking Caps: Since Nigerian senators have made our commonwealth ’Freedom of Information Bill’ their private manifest destiny, we’ve no other choice but to continue pinching and playing with words, until nothing but the whole truth is revealed about the hush-hush politicians are up to. Those living dangerous on the other side in Abuja, call Sahara Reporters and its bloggers all sorts of names. They call us native doctors, idle gossipers, internet warriors and the next tag might be guerrilla writers. And of course, if Che Guevara is alive today, he’ll be proud of what Sahara Reporters and those who ply it do. It’s not for nothing that Che Guevara the godfather of Guerrilla tactics extended his revolution to Africa-Congo in 1965 to freeing mankind from tyranny and secrecy of oppressor men and institutions worldwide. Only if Che Guevara were to be living today in this age of Wiki-Leak, internet and Sahara Reporters: he’d have scared more hell out of the ruling cabal who’re making life difficult for ordinary people who have no brother or sister in Aso Rock and Senate.
All her sins and incapacitations aside, Dora Akunyili is the smartest political strategist I’ve seen in the Nigeria political jungle of move, or I move you. Furthermore, I’m making my case for women to be considered as vice-presidents by this presidential race swollen by men contenders. But on a serious note, they should err on the side of caution not to pick the kinds of Turai Yar’Adua and Farida Waziri of EFCC champion as Veepee. Both women have horns on their heads due to their unmatched Amazonal corrupt waywardness. The Lucifer effect would be an understatement to compare the rot in both women’s life.
And finally, what’s this puzzle of puppet-show that Dora is surprisingly taking us along? “Time, they say, shall tell.” Her puppet show is full with dazed Nigerian spectators; and this woman is pulling a very hard string on us this time around with her resignation and the APGA connection.
