The Harder They Come The Harder They Fall: Tinubu On A Highway As INEC Clears The Air  

*Matters Arising by Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah.

"So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come...The harder they fall, one and all (What I say, what I say)"- Jimmy Cliff 1972

Respect to Jimmy Cliff, a true patriot and prophet. The last few days have seen another round of propaganda twisting the tales that the Former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was indicted over a drug case in the United States, rendering him ineligible to enter the country and, by extension, unfit to govern Nigeria.

The harder they try, the harder they fall. The battle is to label Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu a drug baron in a grand scheme to discredit him ahead of the upcoming general elections. Of course, they have succeeded in branding Tinubu as a drug baron in their "circles", which should not concern us because it is similar to how they refer to Buhari as "Jubril" of Sudan and Nigeria as a "zoo."

Jimmy Cliff began the song with this verse. "Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky...Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die...They never seem to hear even your cry."

When Tinubu started the struggle, no one heard his cries because they were too busy building shopping malls or learning local advanced fee fraud aka 419, which involved selling our national stadium and national assets to wealthy whites and defrauding them of their hard-earned resources. 

Tinubu's house was bombed; they seemed deaf to the freedom fighter's cries for a better Nigeria; some who fled into exile, such as Dele Momodu, relied on the same Tinubu in the same exile to find their feet.

But the harder they come, the harder they fall; now that Tinubu has decided to run for president, all hell breaks loose; lies that have been recycled for years are recirculated in an attempt to derail Tinubu's rising profile.

Tinubu's travails in the hands of his detractors did not begin today; fighting the military to a halt was just the preamble; after the military, what next, just as we should be asking ourselves after the electoral contest, what next?

They attempted to discredit his role as the executive Governor of Lagos State, but to date, no panel of judicial enquiry, whether orchestrated in the cover of transparency or persecution, has been able to indict Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for any financial crime.

Obasanjo denied Tinubu Lagos State allocations for three years simply because he established LCDAs to bring governance to the doorsteps of the grassroots, the core masses; similarly to his battle with the military, the PDP hunted him, yet he left Lagos with the foundation of new cities and tremendous revenue.

With the emergence of Goodluck Jonathan, the PDP government dragged him to the Code of Conduct Tribunal with the sole intention of crucifying him and confining him to the dustbin of history. However, the harder they try, the harder they fall.

Listen to this verse from this same track, "Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground...And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done"

They have now resurrected a phantom drug-related case to further stifle Tinubu's progress, despite evidence from the then-IGP visiting this same issue when a petition was written to prevent the Former Lagos State Governor from taking any further political steps.

They came with a phony letter from INEC in an attempt to derail Tinubu's candidacy, but as Jimmy Cliff says, "the harder they come, the harder they fall." INEC has since warned of the shady plans, which are, of course, orchestrated by the opposition.

Tinubu is surely on a highway; his strategies and plans are simply too tight. In the coming days, we will see not only recycled slanders, but also new ones, because it is past time for Tinubu's detractors to be more creative and daring in spinning new yarns.

I'd like to conclude with a quote from Tinubu that summarizes everything said here: “I plan for betrayal, I plan for backstabbing, I also plan for reunion and forgiveness long before they happen. In life, I expect nothing, I expect anything, I expect everything."

The harder they come, the harder they fall; may we all be ahead of our traducers. Amen.
