I was privileged to know that Sunday, March 28, was going to be the 57th birthday of the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Prince Clem IkanadeAgba. I had, therefore, closed in on him to learn about what he had in the offing. The status of minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria offers an opportunity to “make some noise” and give some pointers to the next political move. So, I thought.
Disappointingly, as the day approached, I learned that he had no such plan. For him, as I got to learn, while there had been so much to celebrate, personally, the enormity of some presidential tasks had consumed his attention, such that it was difficult for close associates and aides to get to pull off a “birthday coup”, which was being contemplated for Monday, March 29, 2021, in Abuja.
