Adams Oshiomhole has a gift – gusto .<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He has balls ! Huge . The man is brave. But his strongest point is his weakest line . Sometimes, he takes his manliness to tragic heights . Coarse . He brings the image of Achebe ‘s Okonkwo ( Things Fall Apart . 1959 ) vivid in our imagination .<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He is sound and sharp witted but notoriously sarcastic. When he mounts the podium to speak, he leaves powerful sound bites but disturbing innuendos.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In his political fights with Gabriel Igbenedion , he called the man a worthless and jaded old figure ,an Esama of Benin that made his millions and mark in corporate Nigeria years back when Oshiomhole was struggling, in a tailoring factory .<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He labeled Tony Aneni a failed politician and fallen godfather and publicly sworn to nail his ” political coffin ” . Doyen of the defunct national party SDP in the 1990s when Oshiomhole was dressing up in khaki as a budding trade unionist. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
