Strategists are advising that nothing concerning loyalties or change of loyalties should be read into a certain pronouncement made by a particularly feisty politico recently.
He made it clear at a gathering that he had made no deal with anyone and that he intended to contest a certain internal position.
Some found it strange since many perceived that, in deference to another individual, he would not be seeking the position.
Stranger still, some said, was that he seemed to be linking up with someone with whom he had fallen out of favour a long time ago and has never forgiven.
However, there is precedence for his stance. The same situation that might be created, if he gets his way, existed less than three years ago when his then boss did not possess that which he now craves to maintain.
But there is yet another twist.
Insiders are saying that he still has hopes of a loftier position and that burying animosities is to his advantage in achieving that goal.
He has been pointedly told to think long term and appreciate that it is better to play second fiddle to an older general, than be servant to someone more than ten years his junior.
Lost opportunities
NO ONE wanted to say it, but someone finally has. A caller told Cou Cou this week that God doesn’t like ugly and what happened a few years ago to a very good man is now returning to haunt a certain grouping responsible for his near political assassination.
The caller said that after the brilliant young man worked tirelessly in trying circumstances to resurrect an almost lifeless entity, he was crucified and betrayed by his own to the point that he did something he would never have contemplated under normal circumstances.
The caller said that for those now saying that his move then made him miss out on an opportunity now, they should really be saying that the grouping is missing him now more than he is missing them.
His presence would have made a monumental difference and would have eased the anxieties of thousands who respect his brilliance, his honesty and his good heart.
But God is now warmly embracing the one whom the grouping hurt to the core, the caller said.
In the nick of time
WHEW! That was the collective expression coming from many, 24 minutes before a certain individual was about to go ballistic – again.
Word is that commonsense prevailed before he committed political suicide and simultaneously injured a number of those around him.
Who pulled his chains toward reason is as yet unclear, but colleagues say that he is an ever-active volcano that could blow at any time.
Year 2012
Some have predicted that everything will soon crumble and it will not be the planet, but the world of many politicos.
This is inevitable, they say, unless those with great heart and fortitude exorcise a maverick from their midst.
People have continued to marvel at how a neophyte with no claims to fame other than the ability to sell non-existent personal political acumen, continues to have such influence in certain lofty halls. Many have been quick to point out that he is no Cammie come-lately – politically.
Insiders say his whispers into an infirm ear are mainly self-serving and self-positioning.
