Opinion: When the Tiger is Fed Grass. By Abubakar Baba Sulaiman

Leadership and followership go pari-pasu. An ideal relationship is supposed to be symbiotic, interrelated and interdependence where reasonable elements give mutual respect to each other. No one sees the other as indispensable but complimentary. Where the other is fed with falsehood or where the other doesn't necessarily listen, borne out of conceit, complacency or excessive arrogance, one can imagine the result. 

I'm not seriously concerned about the tiger and his cubs in this matter, I'm just amused that as "pugnacious" as the tiger seem to be and as sagacious as he assumes, he hasn't noticed that he is being fed with grass by his sycophantic supporters, which is definitely running his stomach right now. 

I'm convinced beyond reasonable doubt that a lot of the supporters of the "tin-god" have no direct access to him, neither do they know how he thinks. Even when they do, they give him direct opposite of events, telling him only what he wants hear. This cowardly trait is paramount simply because, the tiger himself rewards anything they present to him as information, even if such is picked from the garbage. In most cases, the desperate followers just follow crowd flow and pledge blind loyalty to their boss (once their nest is feathered). Quite a lot of them have caused serious damage to his interest far more than they have caught peoples' love for him. Again, I'm still sceptical if any of them can put a call through to him to ask him a few questions or even attempt to offer piece of advice to correct certain things he (Bukola Saraki) did or is about to do (do they even enjoy such humble leader-follower relationship with him?). 

I'm sure they are more often rebuked than praised for a "job" badly done. I'm particularly wondering the position of some of his social media advocates, like Kwara Awake, Kwara Facts, Harrab, Olaitan Afolabi, Hassan Abdulkadiri, Hassan Taiye Erubu, Bawa, Bashir Akanbi, Mufu Adio, Olayinka Ibrahim, Owolabi Olayinka, etc, with Oba Ahmed Olanrewaju wearing the captain band. Outside facebook, listening to the likes of Sule Maja, Bibire Ajape, Fatahi Bakini, has worsened the situation for the staggering local politician. 

I am just wondering if the famished tiger has conducted a survey/opinion poll lately to ascertain the level of damage these frenzy pests have caused him.

You just have to see the thread of comments and curse, particularly on Ahmed Olanrewaju and his boss anytime he brings some kind of unsubstantiated fallacies. What these toothless hounds don't know is that people judge their thinking and utterance as that of the Senator, hence they paste on their skin, the mole of irresponsibility in their camp and anything attached to them. 

We are all seeing the extent of the damage and it will not be too long before the remaining wall collapses. Anyhow they go, it will always be good riddance to bad rubbish. Kwara will definitely celebrate their political extinction, come 2015. Did I hear you say Amin?

I'm sure all the people I have mentioned herein, as well as their sympathisers will immediately or afterwards, produce a parody of this, but I can assure you, I will not dignify your mediocrity. Thank you all.
