A front-line national network
programme, Voice of the Electorate (VOTE) has hailed the bold verdict that
brought relief to Nigerians and halted the irreversible drift down the ugly
lane of a banana republic. By the historic judgment in Abuja, the nation has
been saved another needless political fiasco—pulled from the brink of mindless
human created disaster.
Speaking in Abuja, the
Secretary-General of the programme, Prince Ebri Ukagu said the court
intervention was timely as the symptoms of disorder were already visible. They
observed that not only had policy making become twisted, banditry
and all sort of vices were being smuggled into the act of governance. The group
said, as a result of the actions of comrade Adams Oshiomole, Nigerians found
themselves suddenly between the devil and the deep blue sea and subjected to
sleepless nights all because of his fiery antics that produced the culture of
fear and terror.
Prince Ukagu regretted that Oshiomole saw
nothing wrong in edging out a sitting governor from the depleted fold of his
party. Recall that when he assumed office, APC had 24 governors; but as a
result of Oshiomoles’s decadent and archaic style, the party lost seven
governors to opposition. “Even the professors Oshiomole used to disqualify
Obaseki should be arrested and prosecuted for aiding and abetting anti-party
activities—as a lesson to others. They
are not professors; they are crooks and enemies of democracy”, Ukagu stated,
adding that they wanted to make Nigeria a banana republic.
Prince Ukagu said that the
former national chairman with his much vaunted pride lacked the temperament
required for necessary leadership. “Nigerians were suffocating under the
onslaught of kidnapping, banditry, terrorism and steaming corruption and this
man came with his brand of political rascality”, he told our reporters. “This
man played God and saw himself as Pharaoh or better still the devils incarnate
who relentlessly waged psychological warfare against Obaseki subjecting him to
severe pains and torture.”, Ukagu explained.
The Secretary-General lamented
that APC which boasted of political juggernauts like H.E. El-Rufai, were
inexplicably silenced. Oshiomole wouldn’t tolerate any opposition-just as he
was adept at creating mischief. The Secretary-general noted that if not
for civilisation or perhaps official restraint, Oshiomole would have descended
physically on Obaseki judging from the level of hatred. “Here is a man whose
certificate was questionable harassing a governor with extra-ordinary academic qualification
and performance as if Nigeria was a banana republic”, Prince Ukagu stated.
“He completely forgot that we were in a democracy; and that the APC
mantra was to institute change, not to abuse legal processes.”!
The group observed that Adams Oshiomole
represented everything democracy was not and was never fit to be a national
chairman in the first place. Surprisingly, his dirty actions found support in
the hands of a few Nigerians who said he was right to “deal” with Obaseki
because he betrayed his alleged godfather! Betray who? Over who controls the
treasury? “This is where Nigerians got it wrong; we must either collectively
tell our leaders the truth or collectively bear
