Much water has passed under the bridge since President Ogwanfunu’s
shocking and humiliating defeat received at the hands of then Candidate Nana
Dee. We all saw how Candidate Nana Dee gave President Ogwanfunu devastating
punches, which sent him crushing to the canvass. He left the electoral ring
with a battered face and an uninspiring mouth-twisting ‘e dey be keke’.
One can liken the Ogwanfunu-Nana Dee
contest to the first Dogboe-Navarrete fight. With no intention to lampoon
Dogboe, we all saw how Navarrete gave him a very sound beating. Champion Dogboe
was practically clueless as he received devastating punches, which ended up
disfiguring his face.
Though Dogboe and his father, who doubled
as his trainer, accepted defeat, they gave the excuse that Dogboe underrated
his opponent. A very defiant Dogboe insisted that a better preparation could
guarantee him a win in the second fight. With an uninspiring ‘NEHO’ chant, he
left the ring with a puffy face hoping for a successful comeback in the second
fight.
I watched the fight over and
over again to convince myself that indeed Isaac Dogboe had underrated his
Mexican opponent. But the more I reviewed the fight, the more I realized that
Dogboe would regret if he went for a return fight.
The much anticipated and much-talked-about
rematch took place some five months later. While Dogboe tried to inspire hope
in his compatriots, many were those who knew the outcome wasn’t going to be any
different from the first.
We all saw the outcome, didn’t we?
Unlike the first, Dogboe could not finish the fight as he was beaten courtesy
of a technical knockout (TKO). The defiant ‘NEHO’ chanter was once again on the
losing end.
A similar scenario is being played out
in the Ogwanfunu-Nana Dee contest. After receiving a merciless beating at the
hands of Candidate Nana Dee, President Ogwanfunu resorted to drinking the
infamous Onaapo Bitters to aid the healing process.
Indeed, the bitters worked wonders. We
saw how the potion helped the puffy-looking Ogwanfunu to lose weight, thereby
helping in his speedy recovery.
But
the potion has one side effect. It also serves as a hallucinogen, thereby making
users hallucinate and giving them a phantom feeling. In the case of President
Ogwanfunu, it has kept him in a state of denial as he is yet to come to terms
with his embarrassing 2016 defeat.
It is therefore not surprising
that he is desperately trying to put the cause of his defeat at the doorstep of
the Electoral Commission. He is desperately trying to ride on the back of the
irresponsible hacking comments by Referee Charlotte Osei to discredit the 2016
polls.
But we
know better. We know better because we know very well that electronic
transmission of results was not the main mode used for the 2016 polls. The mode
used was the manual transmission system. So, unless a person is under the
influence of a hallucinogen, it makes no sense talking about hacking a manual
transmission system.
Abusuapanin,
I clearly understand President Ogwanfunu. The man is hallucinating and also
desperate for power. For sure, it is only such a combination that would make a
person of President Ogwanfunu’s calibre blame his 2016 defeat on a non-existent
electronic election transmission system. And those unaware of his desperation
and hallucinogenic condition are wondering if the frivolous excuse is only a
prediction of his impending loss at the 2020 polls.
Just like the first Dogboe-Navarrete fight,
I’ve reviewed the Ogwanfunu-Nana Dee fight carefully and one thing is obvious.
A rematch will not yield any different outcome.
But a defiant Ogwanfunu sees things
differently. He is dreaming of winning the rematch against the new champion,
President Nana Dee. Dreaming is no crime so he can continue dreaming. Barring
complacency or fatal mistake, I expect the results of the 2020 rematch not to
be any different from the 2016 one.
If the Dogboe-Navarrete rematch is
anything to go by, then I expect a TKO in the Ogwanfunu-Nana Dee rematch as
well. I doubt if the hallucinating Dead-Goat will agree with me. But time will
definitely tell who is right!
See you next week for another
interesting konkonsa, Deo volente!
