We WAS Robbed!
Just stumbled on this
cartoon I made in 2010. In it, PDP can be seen swearing to wrest back EKiti
State from ACN (now APC) in 2014. It did exactly so in 2014. Another prophecy has come to pass!

Small Is Beautiful
This carton originally appeared in the now defunct NewAge Newspaper in 2003, when Obasanjo, a man reputed to be a know-it-all was President.
The cartoon made a “guest appearance” in Thisday in 2011, just as Jonathan became President and yet to show his hand.
Well, in the last four years, we've come to know that President Jonathan was the opposite of Obasanjo in the “Know-it-all” department, but a perfect match in the area of appointing too many aides. Jonathan’s aides do not advise him. Instead, they bypass him and offer their advice in form of insults directly to the public. However, the in-coming President Buhari, reputed to be austere
and Spartan has vowed to appoint only a handful of aides.
************
President Jonathan balked at the suggestion
that he should go for a smaller cabinet because of government’s dwindling
resources. We’ve all seen how a large cabinet has added no real value to our lives,
but rather constituted an unnecessary drain on our struggling economy.
We are beginning to hear that President-elect Buhari
will go for a smaller cabinet. We hope he won’t succumb to pressure to do
otherwise.
