Mr Peter Obi
By CHIEDU UCHE OKOYE
Peter of voice so feminine
Not for him dressing to the nine
Of steely resolve is this man
And for the top post he once ran
As sparkling teeth are set aright
So is his conduct unblemished white
The conductor of orchestra for years
That showpiece that dried our tears
Prudent peter of financial wizardry
On him angry eyes cast for his husbandry
He’s the river frothing of soapy ideas
To wash our land clean of fleas
Prancing peter for the second match
His records turned inside out for the search
For blots on his shoulders’ pips
But with his cleanliness we have come to grips
