The Seven Solitudes of President Buhari.
By Pius Adesanmi.
If President Buhari truly loves Nigeria, he must be prepared
for huge sacrifices, including the possibility of forfeiture of a
second term - if a second term was ever on the cards for
him.
This first term must be a fight to finish between him and
corruption. It is a fight in which there has to be a victor
(Nigeria) and a vanquished (corruption). There can be no
fence sitting here. No middle ground. The only possible
outcome is the victory of Nigeria over corruption.
If Buhari fights corruption the way we expect him to fight it,
the only option left for corruption will be to rue the
unintended consequences of allowing him to become
President in the first place and to spend billions to prevent
him from getting a second term.
President Buhari has started well. The first real casualty of
his anti-corruption war is Sambo Dasuki. He has now been
charged with illegal possession of weapons. I expect more
charges, including illegal possession of yams. I expect this
particular goat to go to prison. This would be a huge
symbolic and psychological win for Nigeria.
In essence, President Buhari has started this business in his
own ethnic, religious, cultural, class, and geo-political
bedroom. Sambo Dasuki is from the top of the shelf in the
Caliphate. Now, listen up and listen good, you Yoruba, Igbo,
Ijaw, Idoma, and Edo irridentist: when the war reaches your
bedroom and consumes your own goats, do not dredge up
your predictable ethnicist alibis to protect your goats and
scream persecution o. Ehen. We shall enter the same
trouser with you and remind you that Buhari started this in
his ethnic bedroom. Hey, listen up, you fundamentalist
Christian: when the war begins to consume your goats, don't
bother to mobilize your religious bullcrap in defense of your
own Christian goats o. Ehen. We shall remind you that
Buhari and Sambo Dasuki are both Moslems.
Having checked the ethnic and religious boxes on the anti-
corruption war front by making sure that Sambo Dasuki is
no sacred cow, Buhari must consolidate the legitimacy of
this war by seeing the unbelievable opportunity that the
battle of the pigs in Lagos presents.
The political party box also needs to be checked in the anti-
corruption war so that we are sure that no goat in APC is
more equal than the goats in PDP. The dramatis personae in
the battle of the pigs in Lagos are all the President's party
men. If I know Nigeria very well, the Ambode who today is
exposing Fashola's yams is already eating his own yams
and farming out yams to his own cronies and the Godfather
he shares with Fashola. That is how Nigeria rolls.
I say amen to the open season of yansh opening in Lagos. I
expect the full weight of the law to land on Fashola's back.
The EFCC should be investigating the revelations by now. I
am particularly angry that he spent more on renovating the
residence of the Chief Justice of the state than he spent on
building secondary school classroom blocks in one
instance. It goes to show our perverse priorities in that
country. And we thought that Ganduje in Kano and the mad
guy in Adamawa were the worst advertisements we have in
the priorities department!
Anyway, Fashola cannot be investigated and prosecuted in
isolation. He, in turn, must spill the beans over the yam
eating propensities of the administration before him. The
unraveling in Lagos is presenting an opportunity to clean up
that morass completely. If the anti-corruption war can
consume Sambo Dasuki, it sure well can consume Fashola
and Tinubu.
Pox on anybody's supporters and whatever reasons they
may mobilize to support their own goats!
Ambode currently has immunity. We will have to wait till
2019 to find out the yams he is already eating with one
hand while exposing Fashola's yams with another hand.
When we do, he too is toast.
Nobody - absolutely nobody - should be above investigation
and prosecution.
If Buhari allows the anti-corruption war to clean up Lagos
before moving to Adamawa to see what the mad men up
there are up to, he would have started a war in which a big
fish in his ethnic and religious family was consumed; a war
in which a ginormous fish in his political party was
consumed (Tinubu); a war in which one of Nigeria's best
advertisements for governance in recent years (Fashola)
was consumed.
If these things happen, let me see the baba nla of anybody
who would come out to declare President Jonathan and his
architecture of corruption untouchable. Let me see any yeye
peace committee that would dare disturb the peace of the
country on Jonathan's account any further.
Buhari would have secured so much popular support for the
war that Halliburton and Siemens would no longer be off
limits...
Once and if we do get to Halliburton, it means that an
obstreperous somebody could return from Guinea Bissau to
teach his cellmates in Kirikiri Portuguese. If we can dream
it, it can happen.
But if you allow your anti-corruption war to prosecute
Sambo Dasuki and his ilk, Tinubu and his ilk, Obasanjo and
his ilk, you must brace up for the possibility of only one term
for when it comes to deadly class interest in the top 1% of
Nigerian society, there is no ethnicity, there is no religion,
there is no political party. There is just one happy, united,
and indivisible happy family. This family will declare you a
mistake they allowed to happen to Aso Rock and will do
everything to correct the error in 2019.
The only force capable of stopping them is the poverty-
stricken 99% below. But in their poverty, they are Hausa,
Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Igbira, Tiv, Idoma; in their hopelessness,
they are Moslems and Christians, too ignorant to
understand that those divisions don't exist in the class
above their heads.
If you go after these Godfathers, the 99% will not have your
back. They will have the back of those who divide them to
eat their yams.
You will be lonely and alone.
But you must fight this anti-corruption war. It must
consume every yam eater irrespective of status or party
affiliation. Many of those who sponsored you to power will
have to be consumed by the war.
But you must do it.
For Nigeria.
For posterity.
For you.
I wish you the solitude of the righteous warrior. 1 Like |
