Analysis of CONGRATULATIONS MR OBI
Fidelis Peter Olowu 1982 (Agbarho Kingdom)
The vigorous chant of "Obi! Obi!!" which permeated the hall
Heralded my triumphal entry into the hall
Wow! spell bound Obi has held this entire hall
I thought, as I took my seat in the hall
Only to realize voting has not even started at all
Just like the game of foot ball
Where expectations do rise and fall
The mien of the aspirants said it all
But like mount Zion, Obi stood tall
In humble high hope that just would not fall
Like Jericho's super solid wall
The sound of Obi's victory shattered the hall
As his votes were the highest of all
Congratulations Mr Obi! Keep standing tall.
