The
iron fisted grip on Nigeria by the Quartet of Obasanjo, T.Y. Danjuma,
Abdulsalam and Babangida has been strongly condemned by Civil Rights Campaigner,
Mr. Chris Ogbonna. The Rights Campaigner
is particularly incensed that for the past 50 years, they have simply refused
to let go, holding the nation to ransom.
“These
are soldier adventurers who have been manipulators of our collective destinies
since the first coup in 1966”, Mr. Ogbonna declared. Speaking further, he said 50 years after,
they are still telling Nigerians what to do when they had ample opportunities
to turn the tide. “We are particularly disturbed
that Obasanjo is boasting that he and three others brought Buhari to save
Nigeria”, he said, when in actual fact their children are being systematically
groomed to take over.
He
then wondered: “To save Nigeria from what? Corruption, nepotism, tribalism or
unemployment?”
Mr.
Ogbonna queried why would Nigerians not be angry, when people like Audu Ogbe, who was a Presidential Adviser 35
years ago is still around? National
Chairman 15 years ago and now holds sway at the important Agric Ministry? “If these men claim any knowledge of
administrative acumen, then why is Nigeria in this mess?” questioned Mr.
Ogbonna.
From
investigation the presence of these men in national affairs have actually given
rise to monopolistic and parochial power mongers. The result is evident in stagnant
performances in virtually every aspect of the Nations life! “No good roads, no National Carrier, Railway
system, Metro line, steady electricity supply, spiraling inflation and high
foreign exchange ”, Mr. Ogbonna observed.
