you already know Apc games. seun onigbinde did the right thing. he's a man of integrity.

Stillthebest:



His reasons for resigning is flimsy. To salvage the Nigerian nation, all hands must be on deck.

If he's been championing a cause all these while, for a good governance, then he's bestowed an opportunity to prove his worth, isnt that a way to prove to your followers that you are better off by orchestrating a people oriented activities while serving?

People will always talk. But as long as he's not carrying any political party membership card, that would make the appointment make him betray his party's practise, then, in my opinion he should not have resigned but to prove a difference while serving.

The ovation would have been louder if, in the cause of servicing, he senses some positive effort sabotaging, then resign.We need good hands in the Govt. Trying to score a faint political score isnt our look-out-for.

He just dashed out another golden opportunity smiling at a common man to dine in a golden table with the controllers of his future, which I regard as a sneaking in. Such chances are not always there for just anyone where the Atikus, Tinubus, Orjis, Uba, Kwankwaso, Sarakis are dictating the circles that revolve us. Sneaking into the govt is another method the mean-well peiple can liase and hijack the Govt.

He has just sledge-hammered a political pamphleteering of the government which might in the long run beneficial to us all.

I respect a man of honor who stands by his convictions

This man has put to Shame the narative that goes "if you can't beat them join them"

We need more people like this in Nigeria

Case in point : Oshiomole, Keyamo, et al

You either stand for something, or fall for everything in life

Cheers


Edited

For those who don't understand

They are trying to silence him with an appointment where he will get big salary and bonuses and do nothing till his focus shifts to protecting his wealth hence he becomes like them

Again case Keyamo , Oshiomole et Al

Life isn't a Hollywood movie where one man refuses to bow and suddenly the whole nation starts singing and dancing change and revolution. It's more complex than that
This man isn't a Mary Sue! What can one man do in a ministry where from the administration , to accounts , to operations, to management are all corrupt and caucuses of thieves who only care about looting ?if the government was sincere he should have been made the minister then he can effect real change not as an adviser

Be realistic he didn't he best thing

Cheers

Evercurious:


What games? Is the Seun man a politician? You all shouldn't blame BUHARI again with respect to BUDGET ISSUE cos the appointing his critic was the best.. But since you think otherwise then dont blame him.. TAKE WHATEVER YOU SEE. AND THAT SEUN SHOULD JUST SHUT THE HELL UP WITH HIS SILLY CRITICISM

boxypane:

How does this make him better, if he is good at criticizing, now he has been given the light to make it right, but where is he now. He is a useless critique.

Why are people speaking as if they don't know what is politics, in an organised country he will not accept an appointment from a regime he criticised so much, Just look at critics of Trump, May, Puttin etc they boycott anything that will get them close to those the criticise, the only medium of relationship is via protest.

For him to have accepted the offer on the first place i see him as a hungry, attention seeking activist who is doing whatever he said he is doing for political and material gain. He is just an average Nigerian without honour.

I admire the politics of APC, they knew that he will not survive the heat and they played him to the oven, he is just lucky that there was no sack letter because that is the punchline ready to be served. APC have tacitly succeeded in keeping him shut because this will forever be used against him whenever he tries to voice.

My friend said what APC have are bunch fixers who use blackmail to achieve their goals.

He has no honour he accepted and was bullied out, no iota of honour, he ius just a hungry average Nigerian.

Johnnyessence:
he did the best thing. he followed his conscience. besides last year tweets he replied prof Pius adesanmi really shows that he won't accept government offer. he's a man of integrity.

dapperman:


Sorry you are wrong.

He accepted it firstly.

This is an after taught due to pressure from his online followers, critics, political players et al.

It doesn’t count.
Sorry.

oz4real83:
Ezekwesili that still went ahead to participate at the World Economic Forum in South Africa despite the withdrawal of many people due to the killing of blacks and destruction of properties by South Africans, is also saying Kudos Our politicians only see something or political appointment wrong when they are not direct beneficiaries. If PMB should appoint her into any ministry tomorrow, Ezekwesili will gladly accept it. She will see it as an "opportunity to serve her fatherland and help the masses"

boxypane:

Oh. Sorry about that. My bad. But I no like your view at all!!!!!

Nannyservices:
Buhari can give the position to someone from daura....

Evercurious:


Then he should have resigned at that point and not now

seguno2:


He is not a man of any integrity. Far from it.
Just as Ribadu has been used & dumped, so this half smart, small thief.

livebyday:


Your point is sound but fails to take into consideration the reality like I stated above

A ministry is an institution not an SME , an institution of over 1000 employees whom have all been there before him for decades and are used to doing things a particular way.

Remember he isn't the minister he was to be an adviser . If they were offering him the minister portfolio he won't resign as then he can make a change

Cheers

GenSam:


Why did he accept the offer in the first place

9gerian:
Well said.

Now another yes man would likely be put in that position to Nigeria’s loss. Not good!

Awol1:
When we say APC is an Islamic party, they'd say we are playing religious card.

But just like Islam, APC adherents see anyone who is not in APC as an infidel.

It happened when the Senate president appointed Saraki's former aid. It is happening again now.

In the past, specifically IBB and Obasanjo, your party affiliation didn't matter so long as you got substance that would benefit the nation.

But not so with APC and their bunch of terrorist foot soldiers, to hell with capacity, what they care about is that you are one of them.

If my opinion was sought, I'd have advised Onigbinde not to resign. The more people resign under their criticism, the more emboldened they'd be to continue in stupidity, crass irrationality and outright foolishness.

Fools!

olarid01:


The question is not 'how the ministry works', it's about why he accepted the appointment in the first place. As a strong critic that he is, he should've done his homework before considering the appointments. All what this points to is that: He is either an hungry fellow looking for what to eat OR an uninformed critic having no idea of how things works.

livebyday:


I think I addressed a similar counter from another member already.

Again I ask... When doing the right thing does time matter as long as the goal is achieved?

At the end of the day history will never say he was part of the corrupt government.

I remember pre politics Keyamo, he was a staunch government critic and human rights activist.. today we all know his moral compass is long gone.

Oshimola pre politics era was an NLC stallwart ... He entered politics and alas went the way of Keyamo.

It pays to know thy self and always act in the right way

Cheers

unbitchable:
Man of honor and integrity. Kudos
I felt so sad because a voice would have been compromised but now I feel relieved.
