King Midas, an infamous Greek king known for his abilities to turn things to gold. He is honoured and rumoured as the most greedy king of the Greek-Roman dynasty.

Just like King Solomon of the Bible, King Midas was honoured with a wish-come-through opportunity and he wished that all he touches turns to gold.

The kind of politics most popular in this dispensation is that of greed, deceitfulness, lies and manipulations. Elective office holders write and promote captivating manifestoes, juicy promises and unrealistic expectations in a bit to enjoy the "Midas touch" knowing fully well the gold that awaits them.
After winning the heart of the stakeholders and emerging, they enjoy the gift of manipulation through constitutional power and immunity and glorify their intelligence and strong aura, abandoning the masses to their fate.
