Like the Biblical story where Jesus visited the tomb of His friend Lazarus, after the later died and was buried. And Jesus wept. Ifeanyi Uba, yesterday, wept profusely during the presentation of the report of the Senator Ahmadu Ali PDP Presidential campaign Organization at the presidential villa.
Report has it that Mr Ifeanyi Uba, CEO Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) and MD Capital Oil and Gas, suddenly burst into tears while the chieftains of the PDP took turns to recount the lose of the party at the March 28 presidential polls. He continued weeping until he was led out of the venue, only to return back after he had recovered calmness.
TAN was one of the foremost organizations that spearheaded the call on President GEJ to run for a second term and also spearheaded the campaign for his re-election after he entered the contest.
The interesting thing in this whole episode for me is, after more than a month after president Goodluck Jonathan lost his re-election bid, Mr Ifeanyi Uba is still weeping with vigor. What could be the real reason for the weeping?
Is it because - like Jesus- he felt compassion and identified with the hurt of his friend?
Or as he - by virtue of being among the oil barons that has being accused on several occasions of being a benefactor of the flaws, loopholes and fraudulent practices in the oil sector - crying for the perceived lose of the privileges, leverages, and freehand he had hitherto enjoyed?
Or is he lamenting the huge sums of resources he may have invested into the re-election bid of Mr president, resources or investment which apparently have gone down the drain.
You never can tell.
