While teaching at Ekiti State University, Dr. Tope Aluko once returned a book to the library. The busy librarian had his head down.  Aluko slammed the book on the counter and bellowed: “I read this entire novel; there are too many names of people and no story at all in it!"

This is the joke that most aptly describes the tragedy that is Dr. Temitope Aluko, the former Ekiti State PDP Secretary who is now unearthing all the political corpses he helped bury in shallow graves. Watching him on TV, you can’t but agree with the adage: “book sense is inferior to common sense”.

Rigging is rampant in our elections. It is the fact that he walked away from the Cha...
