Misrepresenting the fact. Omokri should know better. The VP was simply demonstrating Humility, not promotion of any umbrella , which ismerely is to protect one from harsh weather. The significance of VP"s action is to demonsrste a very important personality can bear his own umbrella, andnot depending on a retnue of aides to perform such action for him. A typical of such action was didplyed when the Holy Father, Pope Francis carried his own briefcase while boarding an Alitalia airliner on his way to the Middle East on a tour. Im sure so many Nigerians of all ststus use the broom to clean their environment, does that attract any attention, just ecause the PDP uses that object as its symbol?
Please don't be so concrete (black and white) in your thinking. Average Nigerians are clear-eyed about what Omkri is trying to do here. It is also interesting that you used "merely" in the same line as "harsh" weather. The fact that you considered it "harsh "makes the importance of the Umbrella here not just a "mere" object.
