As I contemplated writing this piece, I could feel the aura of laziness around me like a mighty gong on the neck of a town crier. But it was more of an internal than external factor. I had this conflict in my head: as someone who is apolitical, if I should be writing a seemingly controversial political article, but then it dawned on me that if we keep shying away from politics because of its perceived “dirtiness” or complexity, then questionable leaders will continue to go unpunished. But this article is not calling for the punishment of Nigeria’s Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs and Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State, Senator George Akume, yet. Rather, it is a critical analysis of the political melodrama that the Minister staged at the Benue APC Stakeholders/Caucus meeting, on the 23rd of July 2021, in Makurdi.
