The circus that ouro Djikpa Tchatikpi, former advisor to Tikpi Atchadam of the PNP (in exile) took part in last Monredi, deserves an exceptional trophy of political stupidity.
Here is a man, number 2 of Togo's most feared politician, who decides to take liberties without the knowledge of his master and in violation of the discipline of the party going for a walk across Europe to get a few euros, returns to the country , befriends other parties to simmer the creation of a new coalition.
Arrested for gross misconduct and discipline, he continued in the stupidity of secret meetings. Excluded, he announced a press conference to confirm the accusations that the party was making against him, after having, for a few hours rather rejected the accusations.
At the end of the press conference, he confides in the microphones of journalists, in a Persian style, flanked by a colonial chechia, in infertile French, to bring to the pinnacle his former master: "Tikpi Atchadam is the greatest leader of the opposition… before concluding that the current situation in Togo requires a political transition, the subject of the press conference held with fellow Togolese party, and a quidam named Djimon who is limited to his party.
More curious, no new in the new adventure of Chatikpi.
The political transition he is now claiming in a new coalition is the leitmotif of his former master Tikpi Atchadam. And with Salifou him, she is defended with method and pedagogy, rigor and consistency not with a barbaric and simplistic argument.
Two moral lessons to be learned from Chatikpi's attitude: the dog we fear, believes that it is because of his fangs, he does not know that it is because of his master. Tchatikpi has bet on a bad horse and ends up like the turkey that would like to be as big as the ox.
Second lesson, when a woman decides to leave a man, the public expects that she will attach herself to another more important but if the new lover does not reach the old at the ankle, it is the laughing stock. Ouro Djikpa Tchatikpi should learn this at his expense.
And for organizing this whole circus to make it, he deserves the trophy of "stupidity"; The average Tem will call him "kmèling" meaning "beast."
