While Jonathan’s men were busy making clippings of Buhari’s gaffe, Jonathan was himself empowering Buhari’s supporters with the arsenal to strike back. The president had campaigned in Ibadan, capital of Oyo state, on Monday – the same day Buhari rechristened his running mate – and then proceeded to Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital. At some point in his campaign talk, he needed to refer to an occurrence in Ibadan, where he had campaigned earlier in the day. “We were just coming from… em… em… em…,” the president murmured. He had forgotten the town he left some two or three hours earlier. Until one of his aides murmured ‘Ibadan’ into his ears, the president had nothing to say for five seconds or thereabouts. Nobody has monopoly of forgetfulness, after all. At the same rally, Jonathan was mentioning something about the similarities between Ekiti and his native Bayelsa state, which were two of the six states created by late former head of state, General Sani Abacha, in 1996. He was going to list all six states, but he had forgotten Ebonyi, Nasarawa, Zamfara and Gombe. Stuck and fumbling for words, his aides again bailed him out, whispering to him two states that he, in turn, fed into the microphone. So, as the campaigns continue, expect a camp to say the opposing president is forgetful, and expect a swift counter-attack. Both of them have evidences. When Nigerians go to the polls next month to elect their president, they may not only just be voting for the more popular of the two main candidates, they may as well be opting for whoever they consider less forgetful.
