Edo: Shuaibu's burden of bearing his cross, by Tony Iyare

As a close observer of his blissful political career from an rosy nursery, I cannot but weep for Shuaibu, who’s now groaning under the sword of Damocles. My heart bleeds for Shuaibu even as I’m in a quandary on why a young man with a promising political future would invite wrath and odium unto himself. He must now be gnashing his teeth as he confronts the burden of carrying his jaded cross. Unlike Our Lord Jesus Christ who transformed the cross by dying on it to cleanse our sins, Shuaibu’s burden of bearing a cross could be the dawn of political Siberia. How are the mighty fallen, tell it not on Dennis Osadebey Avenue.
