Mr. Obasa for me represents the downside of a personalised system of government. A system where institutionalisation has been destroyed to the extent that we now have a personalised acculturation from where power flows.

So, state actors draw legitimacy not from the people but from one source. This is anathema to democracy.

If you have been following this debacle, you will learn one thing – we all are here by the grace of – you know who. And as it is progressing, you will see “ let us all go and explain to Oga why we removed him.” On his own side, immediately after he was removed, he ran to Oga to explain his side of the story.

Today, nobody is asking the whole 20 million Lagosians what they think of the matter. Every actor in this wonky movie is running to one place to receive instructions on how to move. So, the “elected” representatives of the people in taking a decision that now seems to be funny are now said to be sending an apology letter to Ogainstead of the people.
