Growing up in my little village, I observed countlessly that any time elections were approaching, a single caterpillar vehicle will emerge from no where and start some sort of "destructive repairs" on our deplorable roads. It was most often done between October to early December! Fast forward, when the elections are done, the vehicle disappears!
Perhaps in those days, it perform the magic of wooing the voters to fall for such scams!
How on earth in Umuofia in 2024, in a major regional capital will you have a smooth road, tarred for decades and very motorable suddenly receive a so-called face lift overnight with naked chippings without bitumen to endanger commuters all in the name of choboi choboi politics?
Who has bewitched us? How can some one think that this is still an effective way of attracting voters? What a backward reverse thinking! I'm shy!!ðŸ˜
