Reply to Chief Tom Ikimi.

I ordinarily would not have responded to Tom Ikimi’s lengthy chronicle of falsehoods, cheap blackmail and abuse. My only reason for this response is that I know Tom Ikimi’s style. He subscribes to the view that no matter how unbelievable a lie may sound if you brazenly assert it and repeat it often enough you may persuade many that it is in fact true. I have seen Ikimi perpetrate this deviousness in his years in public life.

1. Regarding Ikimi’s bid for the Chairmanship of the Party. It was clear to practically everyone who had the interest of the party at heart that we simply could not have a man of Tom Ikimi’s antecedents as Chair of the party. As chairman of the NRC, one of the only two political parties in the country under the military transition programme, Tom Ikimi not only connived with the then military regime to annul the elections, terminate the democratic process and sell off his party. He became Abacha’s foreign minister, convincing the world that heinous state murders like the hanging of Ken Saro Wiwa were just acts! If Ikimi were the Chair of APC the party would have to sleep with both eyes open lest its chairman sell off the party before day break. No matter what anyone may say about me it is unlikely that I can be accused of supporting incompetent or morally light-weight individuals for important political positions. My philosophy is to put the best forward, men and women of competence and integrity, who can stand up to us politicians to challenge us and say no when necessary. Such people are not noisy or able to gain attention by being loud, I believe my role is to do all I can to project them. Who in their right mind would compare the highly principled Chief Bisi Akande, or Chief Oyegun with a Tom Ikimi? Either of these two men are known for their no-nonsense styles, not once in their careers would you hear that they betrayed a cause or were anybody’s stooge.

2. Ikimi also concocts a story of a meeting he claims I had with Deziani on the Oando/ ConocoPhillips transaction on the eve of the APC Convention. Only a Tom Ikimi can come up with the absurd falsehood that on the eve of the APC Convention when I was in crucial meetings practically round the clock I was meeting with the Minister for Petroleum! What exactly would have been the point of such a meeting especially on the eve of the Convention? Was it to prevent Tom Ikimi from emerging as Chairman of the APC? To what end? Of what value would it be to anyone except Ikimi himself? Besides if this was so why he is back to the same party that purportedly planned his down fall?

What is the Oando/ConocoPhillips transaction anyway? For those who do not know this is a private sale of the assets of ConocoPhillips to Oando. It was not patronage of any kind from the Federal government. The Federal government’s involvement was merely to formally consent to the sale. I was not involved and I have never been involved in any of Oando’s transactions.

Typically he plays on the fact that Wale Tinubu of Oando is my nephew. Oando has been thoroughly investigated by South African and British authorities in the past 5 years as part of the process of listing the company on the stock exchanges of those countries. Those rigorous and comprehensive investigations conducted by the governments and risk control investigators are to discover the actual ownership of shares in the company. Politically exposed persons like myself are prime targets for those investigations. All these investigations have shown that I have no investments in Oando. My public position on the entire transaction is that if an indigenous Nigerian oil and gas entity run by young serious minded Nigerians raise money transparently in the international capital markets to purchase private assets of a multi-national the Federal government ought to give its consent. That it took so long is shameful. The Conoco/Phillips transaction was a $1.7 billion dollars investment in Nigeria that would create more jobs,witness the establishment of allied industries and make the Nigerian Economy more attractive. I would have been extremely proud to have made such a transaction possible.

3. Regarding the nonsense about selling out on Ribadu. I think common sense should dictate that if ever such a deal were reached we would have had to inform our members in all the States. How could that have been done secretly? How do you tell hundreds of thousands of people not to vote for your own party without it becoming public knowledge?

At the formation of the APC, a crucial debate ensued about what to do about persons like Ikimi who had done awful things in the past, but who were now minded to align with the progressive tendency in Nigerian politics. Should we forever blacklist them? This would have been the easiest route, but it would have kept rancour alive. It would have made us slaves to the bleakest chapters of our past. Instead we opted to extend the hand of brotherhood, reconcile and put the past behind us. This would enable a broader political consensus, while also giving the likes of Ikimi an opportunity to atone for their grievous wrongs against the people and be rehabilitated.

We recognized that many leading Nigerians had committed acts of shame. Some for private profit, others who were otherwise decent people who had become prisoners to a terrible system.

Not surprisingly, Ikimi acting true to type abuse that magnanimity. He was never sincerely committed to the party. He was always playing out a PDP script. He only wanted the chairmanship of the party as a bargaining chip for negotiations with his benefactors. His defection purportedly on account of the loss of the chairmanship of the party is a mere subterfuge, once his ploy failed he had no other objective within the party, I knew he would go back to his sponsors. He is back in the company he deserves. And APC is better for it.

PDP, Jonathan and their supporters are just angry that all the money they spent in the failed attempt to plant a PDP Mole as a Chairman of APC did not work. That is why when the APC Chairman release a statement the other day, it pained Metusella so bad, because they succeeded with Ikimi, they could have destroyed APC like they have been doing to Nigeria.

The truth is that if Buhari, Oyegun, Aregbesola, Senator Ojudu and Senator Ayo, are removed from the APC, what is left would be another PDP or something worse than it. Nigeria has no opposition party that is worthy of the name "credible opposition". Is it Atiku (Halliburton and Jefferson accomplice), Tinubu (Forged certificate, corruption Plc), Fashola (Chief agent of Dangote's forcible land grab and leader of "Drive-poor-people-away-from-Lagos" policy) or Bukola Saraki (Societe General's bankrupter-in-chief)? Who is it?

People who know Lagos state very well can tell you with the highest possible confidence that the state is fleeced more than the Federal government is fleeced by Jonathan. Fashola probably does not like it, but remember he was nearly removed or replaced before his 2nd term election. And if he was such a man of principle, why would he allow himself to be used as a facade for a thief hiding behind the curtain? He is a man under chain. And if there is any doubt about the mindless looting of Lagos state, that doubt is immediately resolved when the achievements on ground so far are compared to the humongous revenues accruing to Lagos. It is just like people who often cite Godswill Akpabio as a performing governor. Ridiculous! As soon as the figures paid to Akwa Ibom on monthly federal allocation (N22 billion) is laid bare, governor Akpabio's so-called achievement immediately looks like a silly joke and reveals a mindless rape on the coffers of the Akwa Ibom people.

This country is messed up big time. If Buhari runs again and wins, maybe - just maybe - he will create the transparent electoral system that will open the door for younger and brilliant, sincere, visionary Nigerians to start making progress in the politics of this damaged country. If things were normal in Nigeria, Buhari would not be the man that Nigerians are hoping for his help. But as it stands today, it is difficult to see any other light of hope that can save Nigeria from the horror of a single-party state in which the ruling party is a den of devilish and demonic greed, irresponsibility, mindless corruption, insecurity, waste and conscienceless lies. At least, I know Buhari will not disappear N20b. It doesn't matter how the PDP and mumu Nigerians try to twist the truth; the truth is that when it comes to contentment, character, firmness, and probity, Buhari is just several miles ahead of his peers in the politics of this God-forsaken country.

2015 will be our last chance to save Nigeria from unspeakable disaster! Believe it or not, it will be so!

Who has time to waste on confused charlatan who cannot appreciate how aberrant they appear to neutral non-Nigerians over their hypocritical support of the universally-condemned PDP? These same hypocrites shouting against the APC are the same vociferous supporters of a ruling Party that callously looted funds meant to strengthen the capacity of our Army to fight terror. Our Army men are complaining bitterly and moral is seriously low yet these disgraceful PDP followers and hypocrites will not talk about that.

Thanks bro for this post. It seems we that have realised no sane, innocent nor an incorruptible party in Nigeria today are increasing day-by-day. Majority of our politicians are crooks with dead consciences. We just have to select the few ones that are principled and focused from all these dirty parties that we have.
Too bad, Many of these few principled ones are not politically sound for Nigeria's type of politics, that's why we just have to allow ANYONE who presents them to us play the dirty politics that he's good at.

You listed Aregbesola and Oyegun as one of the few ones that differntiated the APC from the PDP, I totally agree with this. But you need to understand that it's this same corrupt Tinubu that made this people have the post they're occupying today. No sane human being should go for Ikimi over Oyegun for obvious reasons. They are not in anyway close in term of track record.

In short, our politics and system is bad, we just have to do everthing right to make sure those few ones whose track records are convincing get the job. This is why we need guys like Tinubu.

Thanks bro for this post. It seems we that have realised no sane, innocent nor an incorruptible party in Nigeria today are increasing day-by-day. Majority of our politicians are crooks with dead consciences. We just have to select the few ones that are principled and focused from all these dirty parties that we have.
Too bad, Many of these few principled ones are not politically sound for Nigeria's type of politics, that's why we just have to allow ANYONE who presents them to us play the dirty politics that he's good at.
You listed Aregbesola and Oyegun as one of the few ones that differntiated the APC from the PDP, I totally agree with this. But you need to understand that it's this same corrupt Tinubu that made this people have the post they're occupying today. No sane human being should go for Ikimi over Oyegun for obvious reasons. They are not in anyway close in term of track record.

Walihi, WE DO NOT NEED SOMEONE LIKE TINUBU.

WE DO NOT NEED SOMEONE LIKE OSHIOMOLE

WE DO NOT NEED SOMEONE LIKE BUHARI.

WE DO NOT NEED SOMEONE LIKE AMAECHI

WE.DO NOT NEED SOMEONE LIKE ROCHAS

I am telling you the undiluted truth if you do not want to be biased

YES WE NEED LIKES OF APAIOBO

DONALD DUKE, FASHOLA

These are not about party but individuals

You need to understand that both PDP and APC lack political ideology.

Anything Tinubu will lose. Fact

What solution has Tinubu provided? Tell me

He hasn't provided solution, because he's doesn't capable to me. But, he has provided those that are capable and are providing solution: Fashola, Oyegun, Amosun, Aregbesola...
