It Must Be a Miracle!


I stood with mouth agape And hands akimbo As I watched my nation suffer rape Playing politics like Ronaldo It was the year 2019 When Nigeria held her elections There were pressing of buttons As many suffer frustrations . APC as a party of maneuverers A party of manipulators Stole the peoples mandate And cunningly emerged the winner Votes were bought Ballot papers were burnt Especially where PDP won APC thugs saw to it That no other party won. Except themselves. . I edged closer to my television Watching as Mamood announce results I meant manipulated results Despite videos of rigging surfacing the 'net Yakubu went ahead to announce the result But we know who the real winner was Of course I am 'Atikulated'
