Like you and I already know, Buhary is just a mere mortal like you and I, he is made up of flesh and blood like you and I hence it is normal for him to have health challenges like you and I, but what i find awkward in re electing someone with health issues, is the complex state of our nation, in 2017, the same Man was admitted in hospital in the UK for almost 4 months collectively and the effect of the ailment is still very visible on mr president even as goes about seeking for the electorates vote. Recently endorsed an entirely different candidate by raising up his hand as the gubernatorial candidate of cross river state, at the nation Presidential Youth Programe, the president could not even recognize his own handwritting, i mean, age is telling on Mr president, coupled with the symptoms of his aimen, Hence Buhary is not an option for reelectionIncreased hunger in the land as a result of the bad, poor and negative economic policies of the Buhari led administration: of course you and I are in this country and you can tell that price of all commodity has increased by more than 200% when compared to what it was in 2015. And this did not just happen on its own neither was it a result of past administration but remember that in 2015, when Mr president was elected , it took him about 7 month to get his cabinet ready and withing that period, exchange rates has skyrocketed.SAI HURICANE ATIKU.

Nigerians please Support Sowore for President in 2019. The difference between him and Buhari/Atiku is a clear as night and day.

Sowore is a graduate from Columbia University, No easy feat at all.

Yea... don't worry Atiku will definitely make him the Minister of Sport

If obj knew, does it mean atiku knows too...?

Just asking...

We all know that. His sudden posture of being saint and true democrat is fake. unfortunately, pdp and their supporters are not even ready to discuss the issue so long as he supports them to win the next election, all his sins are forgiven.

Only fool Afonjas don't know that Obasanjo is not a bastard Yoruba and bad Nigeria president for an Atorney General of a country, who at the same time from your region, to be murdered without any sentence. Infact, if he knew that Tinubu will be what he is today in Nigeria - Yoruba politic, he could have killed him too.

Soyinka if You have the evidence why not approach a court. Let's jail OBJ.

Sanromeo:
Nigeria’s Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, on Tuesday alleged that the Olusegun Obasanjo administration ‘protected’ those who murdered Nigeria’s former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, Bola Ige.

Mr Soyinka, playwright and social critic, made this known in a statement on Tuesday titled “Trivialise Corruption, Neutralise Justice”, issued in his capacity as convener of Citizen Forum.

The statement comes against the background of the crisis rocking the judiciary following the controversial suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, over his failure to declare his assets.

Mr Soyinka, who said impunity reigns where there is no justice, expalined

that the present crisis in the judiciary shows that the nation and its leaders did not learn from the murder of the late Mr Ige and “the manner investigations into his death were handled”.

Mr Ige served first as Minister of Power and later as Minister of Justice under



Mr Obasanjo, who governed Nigeria between 1999 and 2007.

He was murdered in December 2002 in his home in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital.

Mr Soyinka Mr Obasanjo’s government knew the killers of the late minister and politician and indeed allegedly protected and rewarded them.

“The government at the time of Ige’s killers know the truth. That government protected – I repeat – protected, and rewarded his killers. Those who wish to dispute this had better first immerse themselves in the circumstances of that murder, and the unconstitutional, indeed illegal trajectory of the principal accused, one that not only facilitated his unconstitutional participation in the ensuing election but catapulted him straight to the occupancy of the seat that had been kept warm for him during his trial and absence,” Mr Soyinka said.

“On release, he was ushered straight into the slot of Chairman of the Appropriation Committee of the House of Representatives. That was not all. The head of that government, General Olusegun Obasanjo, proceeded to burnish Ige’s memory with characteristic zeal.”


When contacted, Kehinde Akinyemi, a spokesperson to Mr Obasanjo, declined commenting. He told PREMIUM TIMES the case is already in court.

Onnoghen Saga



Commenting on the crisis rocking the judiciary, Mr Soyinka said it is heartening news that 20 lawyers came together to undertake the mission of cleaning up the Aegean stables that seem to pass for the Nigerian Judiciary.

“I feel especially exercised by recent happenings within that Body currently from a dominant perspective: it has become increasingly fashionable to sneer at any anti-corruption preoccupation. No, no one actually ever goes so far as to condone corruption. Perish the thought!

“Gradually however, the nation’s psyche is being both subtly and brazenly retuned to accept not simply corruption as the norm of social relationships, but its heightened product, impunity, as a national emblem. The justification?

“The machinery that was launched against corruption with such fanfare, it is claimed, has run aground. Selectivity has been cited as proof. Insincerity, non-seriousness, cynical distraction, are routine assessments of the current governmental campaign.

“Even the heady draught of ‘stomach infrastructure’ – ‘na anti-corruption we go chop?’ is now applauded, accompanied by guffaws wherever decanted. Not surprising then, that it was only a matter of time before the flagbearer of one of the ‘parties to beat’ came out openly to dismiss the punitive option, delivering the promise of amnesty as one of the corner-stones of his plans for the nation. It was a well-calculated gambit.

“That candidate, an astute politician with his nose to the ground, found that ground primed, ready and conducive. Soon, this will be topped by some rivalling knight in shining armour from rivaling parties who promise prosecution and prison sentence for anyone who bad-mouths corruption – of course, always with a caveat – until all the ills that infest society have been completely eradicated – guinea-worm, river blindness, soil erosion, oil pollution, rape, kidnapping incest etc. etc.

“Not forgetting the transformation of the entire national infrastructure and the full elimination of the last vestiges of Boko Haram, killer herdsmen, Lassa bearing rodents and potholes on the road,” he said.

Impunity



The Nobel Laureate noted that impunity covers all crimes, “not just material corruption”.

He said any social or governance institution which fails to stem the tide of

criminality within its charge would be open to impunity.

“This has been the case of President Buhari in his lacklustre, indeed hands-off approach to the menace of the killer herdsmen – at least at the beginning, before swathes of Nigeria were reduced to slaughter fields, thriving farms erased off the food supply chain of the nation,” he said.

“(They are back, by the way, reported to have recently set fire to farms in Oyo State). Leadership lapse was further compounded by admission by the governor of Kaduna State that he had been paying ‘blood money’ to the killers responsible for that human and sustenance campaign of depletion!

“Impunity stalks the land, indeed it is virtually lording it all social interstices. Let no one take my word for it – simply turn the pages of the media any day.”

Mr Soyinka said he brought up the murder of Mr Ige into the discourse to establish the fact that “history strikes again” and highlight that Nigerians largely suffer from amnesia.

He also warned that corruption should not be trivialised as it breeds impunity and disrupts the course of justice.

“I have brought it up principally to remind the judiciary, and associate orders such as the Bar Association, that the war between impunity and Justice is an incessant one. Corruption is not a trait to be trivialised for political opportunism or locker-room guffaws. Corruption murdered the nation’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General, and Justice was rendered helpless in the defence of its own Prime Advocate.

“The reign of impunity will prevail as long as the legal community continues to betray its calling, its oath of office, even its rites of professional collegiality and its responsibility to the rest of us. It is disappointing that even under a government that promised to dust up the files of political murders and end that reign of homicidal impunity, the Association has not thought fit to demand from the Buhari government its findings.


“There is more than ample material to warrant a Judicial Commission, and that demand has come up again and again. It will continue for as long as there remains a shred of conscience somewhere in this nation, especially when provoked into resurgence by the antics of those who murdered Justice to enthrone corruption and bask in the miasma of Impunity.”

Mr Soyinka explained that it is instructive that Mr Ige’s murder took place at election time.

He said such killings and kidnappings have escalated again as the nation prepares to vote.

Mr Soyinka also said a ‘den of killers’ is equally regrouping and wishes to direct the fortunes of this nation yet again.

“This nation needs no reminding that, yes indeed, the rule of law must prevail, and constitutionality must not be trivialised. Neither however, must criminality, or else, history merely repeats itself in increasingly dismal accents. Justice becomes neutralised,” he said.

And that person suspected to be the killer of Bola Ige,whose first name starts with I and surname starts with O is now in Apc. His sins have been forgiven ans now a new creature after he decided to defect to apc from sdp.

This has nothing to do with presidential campaign of Atiku.

Soyinka should come up with usefully facts concerning Ige's murder, Buhari cabals will be needing it to keep OBJ in check.

DO U THINK OBJ DON'T HAVE USEFULLY FACTS CONCERNING BUHARIS CABAL. Y DO U THINK ALL DEY DO IS BARK BUT DON'T BITE. GEJ IS CORRUPT BUT NOBODY WANTS TO BRING HIM TO TRIAL. IT'S JUST LIKE SHINA RAMBO CALLING LAWRENCE ANINI A THIEF.

VaselineCrew:



no laughing matter bro, although that was kinda funny

Personally i agree with you, sowore might be the Savior we craving for, but his time will come, peradventure the whole Nigerians decides to vote for him, rather than Buhari or INEC to declare him winner, they will rather declare the Election Inconclusive

Soyinka should go and sit down!!! It is now he is telling us all these. What stopped him from voicing it out when the whole information was needed then. He should stop acting as if he cares. He is not free from calamities facing our darling country that have rendered our youths almost incapacitated. His time is past, he should allow fresh breadth instead of painting a picutre of "holier than thou"

Ogecharm:
it also means that u knew and kept quite. You are as guilty as OBJ.Coming out now to said it show us that, u Soyinka can not be trusted.

Everyone knows who killed bola ige. Are u just hearing about it? His killers were caught a few months after the killing and it was the deputy governor of osun state, Omisore, dt sent them. They were very detailed in their confession because they even mentioned meeting atiku several times.

Bisi Akande was osun state governor under AD, but obasanjo wanted to claim the state, so he used his deputy governor omisore against him. Omisore was later sent to jail for a while and won a senatorial election from jail as a PDP member. Dts who wole soyinka is referring to. The same omisore is trying to snake himself into APC in osun state at the moment due to some people in the PDP state chapter backstabbing him and making him lose the governorship ticket to adeleke. Politics in nigeria is a very very dirty & bloody game. Upon all his blood spilling, omisore can still never be a governor in Osun state.

why do Africans politicians sacrifice everything at the alter at money?

for all soyinka submission that's the only area you can point finger, hmmn hypocrisy Tinubu promise us that immediately Nigerian can vote them into power in 2015 Bola ige case will be reopen again but they fail to revisit the case because their lifeless president did not have interest on that case to the extent omisore now in their party, my brother I begg for now leave Atiku out of this when we are talking of corruption no one is exempted between APC and PDP so you should keep your stinking mouth shut

The most useless person I have ever seen is obj. Never trust him in everything. He resemble the image (gorrila) he represent both in character and idea.

Guy man chilax, we'll b aiit lass lass.

We all know Atiku killed Bola Ige.


He was over ambitious for 3rd term more than Obasanjo and had to take Bola Ige out. Obasanjo knew after hit, and could not expose him till date.

That's just the truth!

"Den of killers" Regrouping
