Obaseki’s Icarus Complex and His Jinxed Re-election By Ufuoma Thomas


There are eerie similarities between Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and Icarus, the son of Daedalus, the famous craftsman in Greek mythology. As the story goes, Icarus and his father attempted to escape from prison using wings that the older man constructed from feathers and wax.
Icarus' father warned him about complacency and hubris and asked that he flew neither too low nor too high so that the sea's dampness would not clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignored his father's instructions and flew very close to the sun, then, the wax in his wings melted and he fell into the sea. The moral of the myth is the need for personal ambitions to be guided by knowledge, balance and self-discipline.
