WE WILL NOT FORGET 1999 TO DATE: MAJOR SCANDALS THAT HAVE ROCKED NIGERIA'S DEMOCRATIC JOURNEY SINCE 1999.
extracted from Daily Trust by Ayoade Davidson Ojeniyi FCA 14 07 2024.

1. Salisu Buhari's Toronto Certificate. A whistle blower gave all the details including where the certificate was printed and how he changed his age. He was jailed but OBJ pardoned him. He was an effective and efficient Speaker. He was a power dresser. Evan or Evans Enwerem removal as a Senate President due to Certificate forgery. Unlawful removal of Senator Rasheed Ladoja and his reinstatement. The backdoor removal of Chris Ngige by Uba brothers and his escape and reinstatement.

2. OBJ's 3rd Term Political Ambition. Corruption at his highest. N50m freely given the Senators each. It is worth N500m now. It was killed but a beautiful Constitutional Amendment was not signed by OBJ bc the 3rd Term Agenda was supposed to be part of the amendment. That beautiful amendment contained a lot of devolution of power. During that time, the governors were better. Currently only Zulum, Sanwo-Olu, Otti, Mba, Farmer Bago and Makinde are performing. During that time, we had Tinubu who later handed over to BRF. There was a country. We saw good governance in LAGOS. Fear no fear you But Amboooo later came sacking anything BRF bc BRF earlier sacked him as Lagos State Accountant General.

3. Heavily rigged the 2007 Presidential Election and the beneficiary Umar Yaradua, a complete gentleman protested against the result. Yaradua was a good man but he protected a looter James Ibori and he humiliated the then EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu just bc of Ibori.

4. Refusal by Yaradua's wife Ture's cabal to hand over to Jonathan when Yaradua died. Tunde Bakare hala. David Mark quickly did Doctrine of Necessity. Jonathan later excluded Yorubas from his government. The Far East hijacked his government.

5. Patricia Ette removal and the emergency of a very young man Dimeji Bankole as the Speaker. Dino was seriously beaten up and 10 hefty Legislators carried him out of the Chamber.

6. Farouk Lawan in a subsidy logjam was captured in a pen video clip by Otedola, loading Dollars into his cap in order to free Otedola's FO Petrol from the subsidy probe. Lawan is in jail now.

7. The effective Occupy Nigerian Subsidy protest of 2012 against Jonathan/PDP led by Buhari, Tinubu, WS, Femi Falana, Femi Kuti and Tunde Bakare. Ojota was occupied. Showore was at his best.

8. Riot at NASS, Gbajabiamila jumbed in through the gate to prevent Tambuwal from being impeached as the Speaker. Gbaja almost broke his back. The same Gbajabiamila some years later was betrayed by Tambuwal. Tambuwal recently betrayed Wike and Wike is yet to recover.

9. Bukola Saraki outwitted APC to thief the Senate President in a earthquake alliance with the PDP. Dino now emerged as a powerful Senator and fighting anybody in sight. They made a lot of money bc they were in charge of the Senate hefty cowries. A Senator would just see an alert for N150m as a weekend expenses in the village. Dino also fought Senator Oluremi Tinubu who is much older than him. A taboo in Yorubaland.

10. Omo Agege boys thief the mace during a Senate session live in front of the TV cameras.

11. Orubebe almost dabarued the 2015 Presidential Election Results Collation bc his principal Jonathan was losing to Buhari. But the INEC Chairman, a Prof, remained calm and gentle and destroyed Orubebe with superior arguments.

12. Obi and Obidients claimed to have won the 2023 Presidential Election Results despite Obi not winning anything in the Far North.

13. Highly scandalous, Dangote Refinery to be importing crude oil from the USA and Brazil, so the fuel pump price will still be determined by the exchange rate. If IOCs are not selling crude oil to Dangote, what of NNPC 43% crude oil share? What's happening to our own Portharcourt Refinery

14. During the last May 29, 2024, PBAT stepped on his large agbada wear and fell down and he has since been wearing the smaller version called sapara. By the way PBAT has since agreed to flood the market with food items from abroad and he has secured LGAs Autonomy as being practised in Lagos since 1999. Tinubu is sharp and he can speak very well.

15. It was unfortunate, that up till today, we have not been able to clear bandits/Malians from our land. Intelligent gathering can do it. See how police used intelligent gatherings to clear off 9 billionaire kidnappers that came from the Far East to kidnap a very high valued Igbo legitimate business man in Ladipo area.

There will be a country and may Tinubu succeed. Amen
