Politics / Reason Why Orubebe Disrupt Collation Of President Result. by akanbimustaphao(m): 9:35am On Apr 07, 2015
[1] This is a picture of parliamentarians jumping
through windows in the Western House of
Assembly in 1962
[2] When I saw Godsday Orubebe throw his
tantrum yesterday, I really feared that we were in
for a repeat performance 53 years on
[3] What happened yesterday was identical to
what happened in 1962. Back then, an NCNC
member (Hon Obebedike) realised that his party
would lose the vote so got up and threw a chair
to disrupt proceedings
[4] As soon as that happened, the police fired tear
gas and everyone had to scamper for safety. The
government used it as an excuse to dissolve the
house and impose a state of emergency on June
29 1962
[5] Remember that Femi Fani-Kayode's dad was
one of the masterminds behind the plot back
then, so his son knew the script and was
probably the one who drew up the plans for
Orubebe yesterday
[6] This government gave us the Nigerian
Governor's Forum election saga in which 17
people managed to outvote 19
[7] This government also gave us the locking of
the House of Representatives saga when
parliamentarians had to scale the fence to avoid
the government impeaching its speaker
[8] So after seeing Orubebe yesterday, I am sure
those familiar with Nigeria's history feared the
worst. Just imagine what would have happened if
one security man had become overzealous and
tried to force Orubebe out of the chamber. Tear
gas would have been fired and in the
pandemonium, all the result sheets would have
been torn, burnt or made to disappear. We would
have had no choice but to have another election
[9] Also, just imagine what would have happened
had that count been in Orubebe's local
government area. He would have stormed the
place with thugs, beat up all the Inec officials,
seized the result sheets and declared his
candidate the winner. This happens everyday
across Nigeria in both the APC and PDP
[10] Luckily, Nigeria avoided a disaster yesterday.
I am particularly surprised Goodluck did not listen
to the hawks around him like Asari Dokubo,
Government Tompolo, Godswill Akpabio, Femi
Fani-Kayode, Doyin Okupe, Godsday Orubebe,
Tony Anenih, etc. It appears that the doves like
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Reuben Abati, Olusegun
Aganga, Akinwumi Adesina, etc carried the day.
However, we need to remain vigilant until May
29. I do not believe those who were brought up in
the do-or-die politics will suddenly see a shining
light on the road to Damascus before then
