There Will be An Interim
Government In 2015, Says
Braithwaite
ELDER statesman, Dr. Tunji
Braithwaite, has said there will
be an interim administration in
Nigeria to resolve critical
foundational issues and not
election in 2015.
In a statement yesterday, the
social crusader and one of the
foremost elder delegates to the
just concluded national
conference said that the
people of Nigeria, whose
sovereign power overrides the
unwieldy purloined power,
long, exercised by an
infinitesimal but highly corrupt
and recycled military/political
cartel of a discernible neo-
colonial culture and mindset
“are now set to retrieve the soul
of our patrimony and thereby
realize the great and abundant
potentials of our diverse
nationalities.”
The statement reads: “We do
not share the artificially
contrived and concocted
enthusiasm of the projected
elections of 2015 for the
following reasons:
“The elections are purposed
by the same backward, but
highly corrupt military/political
cartel to continue the rapacious
and merciless exploitation of
the masses. The evidence of
this, is clear in the fact that the
preparations are being
undertaken by the uncredible
electoral Commission - INEC -
under the discredited anti-
people, military Constitution
Decree 24 of 1999. Incredible!
“A “Constitution” that clothes
bare-faced criminals in public-
offices with immunity. A
Constitution that denies the
peoples of Nigeria their natural
right of fiscal federalism and
autonomy, and makes every
Governor of each state, a
Caesarean Emperor over the
people, totally unaccountable -
with lame-duck or accomplice
houses of Assemblies.”
Braithwaite noted that the
Centre is made overbearing,
making nonsense of the
freedoms, inherent in and the
bedrock - of Federalism or even
Confederalism.
According to him, “A
Constitution, which by any
modern criteria, is a
prescription for
underdevelopment and chaos!!
“A constitution that promotes
the emasculation of basic
institutions of democracy, like
the judiciary and free and fair
elections. The Electoral
Commission, INEC is a tool in
the hand of the executive, both
at the Federal and State levels.”
He said the present systemic
but disgraceful attempt by INEC
to foist a two party or even one
party system on Nigerians, is a
clear testimony of the
subservience of that body to
their pay master.
Wondering whether the
judiciary free? He said, “The
public knows the answer to this
question, particularly when it
comes to election issues.
“The last straw that has broken
the camel’s back in all of the
wild projected elections 2015, is
the widespread insecurity and
bloodshed in the land,
especially in parts of the North
of the nation.”
The elderstateman said those
who are preparing for elections
2015 seem oblivious to the
glaring truth that the
circumstances of this nation-
state dictate that the twin
foundational issues of
According to him,
“Constitutional reconstruction
of the nation-state and
insurgency MUST first of all be
resolved satisfactorily before
any election to realize their own
selfish appetite.
“Anything short of this would
surely be catastrophic. Let us
do everything to avert this.
“In default, there will be an
interim Government in Nigeria
to resolve these critical
foundational issues.”

I think your brain is still very young and can't grasp the words of elders. The words of our elders are words of wisdom.

Oh! I see! You are one of those singing saTANist songs singing "all is well" when obviously they are not.
