This speech by Nafiu Bala Gombe at INEC headquarters today has left me speechless. I can't tell what language he's speaking. I've caught a few stray English phrases fighting for survival, but the rest sound like a rotating medley of Dutch, Double Dutch, Hausa, Yoruba, Latin and what I can only assume is a live reenactment of the Tower of Babel mid-collapse.
If he is being used, as some people allege, then the people using him must be profoundly embarrassed. Many 6-year-olds in Nigeria can read a basic script with more coherence and dignity than Nafiu. If you can’t competently read a prepared speech written in plain, unambiguous English, what business do you have fighting to chair a national party?
