     I have served big people and still serve the interests of big people. Sometimes, they delegate roles to you because they don’t want to interface directly with the other person for legal or organo-structural reasons. Only someone like Reno will think that a big man asking you to act on his behalf makes you big immediately. I was in a late night meeting recently in Abuja. The truth is that I wasn’t there as CHARLES AWUZIE, I was there in my capacity as “a boy boy” to a bigger Oga. At 1am, the Oga wanted an update to make a decision. I’ve always told you that everyone has a BOSS - including Peter Obi. You can’t be powerful without an OGA. Atiku calls Obasanjo MY BOSS even till tomorrow. Obi calls Atiku my Boss despite their political differences . Reno wants us to believe that he is Oga kpata kpata - a PA who thinks he’s more influential than a former Governor, former SEC Chairman and former Chairman of Banks. It’s like Tinubu asking Dangote to send h...
