So, hear this. I found myself in Abuja recently, and what’s a girl to do when in the Federal Capital Territory? Why, plant herself smack on the scene of the hottest politico-romance this side of the equator, of course! I was at the choicest birthday party thrown by a lady whose ‘incandescent beauty’ – her own description – may just put her in the gubernatorial seat come 2011. Becoming governor wouldn’t faze you either, if you were the heiress of the perennial political dynasty in your state.
When it comes to consolidating political power, this lady is first rate. She’s even forged an unbeatable alliance with one of the most high profile politicians in the country, a top citizen. Is it down to her political astuteness, the trusty dynasty or that famous incandescence? None of the above. The answer’s good old bottom-power.
You wouldn’t think any of it was possible, what with the permanently expressionless face of this ruby-lipped beauty, a member of many a Senate committee. She’s in the upper house and he’s a big mover in the lower one. She likes them young and he likes them, shall we say, on the mature side? I guess you could say they’re perfectly matched. As for liking older women, it’s somewhat ironic, considering his political rise was seen as a triumph for the younger generation. You know, the ones Babangida says aren’t fit to rule. I suppose he would know, eh?
Back to Romeo, whose piranha-toothed gnasher of a smile has done nothing to deter the ladies, who swoon at his British Public School accent. Even a hastily acquired wife has done nothing to dampen the flames of his romance with our lady Senator. This is one love-match that’s going all the way to Panama.
But a romance is an uncertain thing in politics. Our incandescent beauty was reminded of this recently when she threw a party at her exclusive Abuja mansion, where the whole street knows what’s going down with her and the doubly-blessed lawmaker. To throw people off the scent of her wild romance, our lady took the unusual step of inviting her lover and his wife! No sooner had the swaggering politician arrived and lady Senator set aside discretion. She was all over him, making a show of what we weren’t supposed to know. To be honest, he wasn’t resisting. And so the long-suffering wife lost her usual reserve and angrily pulled her husband from the grasp of his simpering lover. Husband and wife left the party with ‘automatic alacrity’, leaving our lady to contemplate a night alone
I wouldn’t write her off, though. Here’s a romance that spans North and South, going from Central to West. It’s a hook-up that could produce His-and-Hers gubernatorial thrones in 2011, two states run from the same bed. Wow, that would be one hell of a pillow talk. They asked them to make law but they’re busy making love. I guess they call it Chamber Sex. This is a family newspaper, so I shall say no more
