@topic, a man of PEACE, for pmb to excel he needs to tap a lil wisdom from GEJ.

Beremx:
That is Oremussanctus. I know his choice of words when he quotes me.

You hold the key to nairaland prison(ban), why wont they mind their choice of words...... evening love *muah* coming from a wailing wailer to a hailing hailer

caesaraba:
I laugh when I read comments like this from people like you who will not amount to anything in life. I'm talking to the actual coward hiding behind this moniker typing trash. Anyway, knowing that my kids will employ your kids (if you are lucky to still have balls) is a consolation. Until then, remain anonymous and keep typing sh*t about people.

i am sorry if my comment hurts you, i only wanted to say the truth

ManTiger:
Mr. Man, kindly check the meaning of "Coward".

There is no evidence of him corrupt, Fayose you talk of is in deep mess.
Your partisan politics is more cowardice than MKO's act if he's ever corrupt (until proven).
Your type will hail Alams, Ibori, Bode George et al all because they belongs to the opposition party.

To me, MKO remains a hero who died trying to get back his mandate that was stolen, if he was a coward, he would never dare to speak up for his mandate.

so are you saying FELA lied calling him an INTERNATIONAL THIEF THIEF?

freeborn76:
I was tempted to rain curses on you for that insensitive comment, but.I will rather pray for you...May you not die a 'nobody' in Jesus' name.

i only said the truth, he died as a normal nobody and not as a hero.

This letter represents for me a protest and a success wish for you as you strive to build a just and prosperous country we all, as Nigerians, can be proud of. That much you promised us when you sought our votes, a little over a year ago. It is necessary for me to let you know why I am writing you this letter. One reason is to protest as earlier stated but that can wait till later in the letter. Another reason is to thank you for having begun to help us recover some of the stolen wealth from members of the immediate past government. I must confess that as a young-adult, I have never seen or heard such humongous theft of public fund before. We were promised transformation but were scammed. Personally, I felt after Abacha, we shall not experience such mindless looting again. Alas, I was wrong.

Truly, we live in extremely perilous times. I don’t have to rehash the daunting and multiple challenges we are currently faced with as a nation but I am hopeful that if attention is given to details and with sincerity of purpose, it affords us an unprecedented opportunity for a national renaissance and I am convinced that you can with the right team with a burning sense of urgency come through for us. That is the essence of change for us. Sir, justify the trust and confidence reposed in you by the entire peoples of Nigeria.

We recall that even when you lost to president Obasanjo in 2003, you dismissed the election as an “electoral malfeasance.”And even though I didn’t vote in the election, I believed that you were not serious about the contest as you mostly sought the votes of the peoples of northern extraction and you couldn’t have been serious in wanting to be President.

Beyond that, many had nursed what is now turning into a legitimate concern that you were clannish and Nigeria could not afford to entrust you with such a sensitive assignment. I was then a graduate student and couldn’t have been bothered. But 2015 general elections was different. I canvassed, mobilized and registered to vote out the People’s Democratic Party. My joy was indescribable when you were announced winner. I am still happy that in my lifetime, an incumbent and non-performing president was sacked at the polls.

But we are now afraid and worried. Nigeria is a complex enterprise and as such requires a broad-minded and visionary leadership. I am afraid to admit that you have disappointed me in the way you have handled your appointments. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t doubt the competence of your appointees. Rather, it has to do with the lack of required national spread. At no time in the history of our country, not even under notorious and rogue military regimes, were appointments made to brazenly favour, so massively a region at the expense of others. NEVER!

When appointments are made in a plural and federalist nation such as ours, a lot of factors come into play. The ultimate being sharing the office for national spread, sense of belonging and stability. I am stunned that the entire security architecture of Nigeria is entirely in the hands of the North. Perhaps, you are aware of threats that I cannot see and as such regime survival for you is mistaken for national survival.

Mr. President, Nigerians voted for you and sincerely felt that aside from stemming the slide of our recent past, you will detoxicate the poisonous politics which has characterised our country for long. But it appears you are bent on accentuating it. It is even ridiculous that government officials have dismissed fears about the lopsided nature of appointments made so far. Nobody can defend the argument that the North or even any other region has the exclusive preserve of competent hands.

Creative imagination is required to reverse this trend and you have to quickly address growing fears, the fears of your being viewed with suspicion and pursuing a clannish agenda has returned. It is bad for such feelings to fester in a pluralistic and a highly charged environment such as ours.

President Buhari, you must as the father of the nation take another look at your appointments and effect balance where necessary. There is no justification when out of 17 security posts, 14 are from the North. It is not fair and I am grossly disappointed in you over that. By power of example and fairness, we expect you to help the raging fire of prejudice and injustice which has undermined efforts at national cohesion for a long time. Sir, quell the suspicion.

Nigeria is currently faced with a degraded insurgency. Another region is opening calling for separation and there are serious security concerns that can only be efficiently tackled when all parts of the country see themselves as stakeholders. The era when clannish proclivities are pursued are over and you cannot assume all will remain the same. Nigeria’s heterogeneous composition forbids relegation of other component parts of the country.

You are indeed the man of the moment, but you cannot afford to go down in history as a clannish and imperial leader. Resist it and add to your to-do list the imperative of rebooting the country for togetherness. Many of your generation who said that there was no need to restructure the country are shifting grounds. General Babaginda and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar have joined the choristers. Whatever you seek to do, I beg you to be a prescient leader and avoid the harsh verdict of history as you steer our nation to the harbour of peace, prosperity and stability.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Rotimi Opeyeoluwa, a Concerned Citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

How can you utter such rubbish? The man died a hero fighting for Nigeria's democracy and defending his mandate.

How many can die for what they believe in when there is an easy way out?

M.K.O. Abiola is a true hero and is the definition of bravery.

Sorry, we did not know any of your generation that dies as an hero.

I was taught in school that he died a ******

Elruhamah:
People will just open their mouths and be saying nonsense abi typing nonsense.Mtschew.
Didn't he die because he refused to give up his mandate? Is that the act of a coward.

sorry if my comment pained you, i am entitled to my opinion. This is democracy

“Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible. But man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary”- Reinhold Neibhur.

It is best that I confess that the title of this piece is taken from the seminal book of legendary Chief Obafemi Awolowo, a great politician, who in the First Republic alerted the nation that the continued assault on democracy and the rule of law was a compelling recipe for the end of constitutional democracy as inherited from the departed colonialists. His arguments that the continued disregarding of democratic ethos, if it was allowed unchecked would result in anarchy, was disregarded and the country was worse off for it, with the collapse of the First Republic, intrusion of the military in 1966 and subsequently the 30month fratricidal war which claimed over three million lives, all because of clash of personalities and ego. A panoramic assessment of what is evolving today bear semblance and the danger of continued assault can lead to the unraveling of the legislature.

The attendant possibility of a systemic collapse, because of clash of personalities and ego, which has arrested governance since the APC led government came to power would rather the heavens fall than for a an autonomous organ of government run their business in conformity with the doctrine of separation of powers as evident in all constitutional/liberal democracies the world over is frightening. The 8th Senate upon resumption chose Saraki and all hell has since broken loose. Where is the avowed and much taunted doctrine of separation of power? How many more errors will the country needlessly grapple with all because of the ambition of one man or some other men? When will the battered and prostrate economy receive the attention required and when will the promise of change begin to bear fruits? Just when? I ask because of the pains, palpable pains and dashed hopes which stalk the land in the early stages of a government who rose on the crest of wanting to save our republic from implosion.

It is extremely important for me to quickly state that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, as the chief enforcer of the Constitution is empowered to bring charges against anybody, be it the Senate President or any other person. Such a right cannot be denied but like Caesar’s wife, he must be seen to be above board. The question is, is Abubakar Malami truly above aboard on this case? It is doubtful and I shall state my reasons in the following paragraphs.

The right of the Senators to choose one of their own to lead is a fundamental right which President Buhari once attested to. With Saraki’s emergence, the APC has been in a bellicose mood and mode. It has been one attempt to wrestle Saraki to the ground after another in an orchestrated attempt to nail him. Only recently, Saraki and his deputy, Ekeremadu, were arraigned over acts purportedly committed in the exercise of their legislative functions. This is a clear violation of the Legislative House (Power and Privileges) Act 1990 which confers immunity on legislators from legal proceedings for any action taken in the conduct of legislative duties. That is the position of the law until it is vacated. The issues of forgery emanated only after the Unity Forum Senators were roundly defeated.

The Unity Forum Senators in bitterness sought to externalize a purely internal event by reporting a case of forgery to the Police and instituting a civil suit. It is interesting to note that Abubakar Malami, SAN, was counsel to the Unity Forum Senators before his appointment as the AGF. Can it not be argued that an interested party to the matter is using State apparatus to pursue personal objectives?

Justice Godwin Kolawole and later Justice Adeniyi Ademola had ruled that the case of alleged forgery of the Senate Rules was an internal affair of the Senate and that the Senate should grapple with the correction from within its chambers. That was last year, 2015, and Abubakar Malami, neither as their private counsel or even as Attorney General and Minister of Justice has not appealed that verdict. A learned silk, the AGF, is pursuing an agenda that is inimical to the doctrine of separation of power and abuse of his office in clear violation of a subsisting court order. It is significant to note that the AGF, a lawyer to the Unity Forum Senators is only pursuing a vested interest using the cover of office. It is so strange that the promised renaissance has crumbled in a regrettable manner.

The power tussle is tragically a sad remainder of the poisoned politics of our recent past where partisanship, pettiness, immaturity, impunity and gangsterism were the order of the day. These things, candidate Muhammadu Buhari, I recall, promised to end once voted into office. The APC must arrest the increasing relapse to an order that is injurious to democracy as the demand for the survival of our democracy is glaring to all concerned citizens. Nigerians are growing anxious about the promise of change. Admittedly, errors have been made, but more errors would not correct the situation. What would correct the charged atmosphere is a spirit of give and take. The clash is political and can only be corrected through political means.

The long night of neglect, want, misery and disease begs for attention. What is unfolding needs to be handled with caution. The unfolding event clearly reveals that truly Saraki and some of his associates may be the primary target for annihilation but in the long run the Senate already ensnared might become an unintended causality of the power play. It is extremely important for the protagonists and antagonists to be mindful that Nigeria’s hard earned democracy should not be sacrificed in pursuing vendetta or settling personal scores.

Only recently, President Barrack Obama of the United States of America may have had Nigeria in mind, when he averred, “Democracy requires compromise even when you are right, this is hard to explain sometimes, you can be completely right and you still gonna embrace folks who disagree with you, if you think the only way forward is to be as uncompromising as possible, you will feel good about yourself, but you‘re not going to get what you want, and if you don’t get what you want long enough, you will eventually compromise the whole system which will lead to more cynicism and less participation and a downward spiral of more injustice and more anger and more despair, and that’s never been the source of our progress, that’s how we cheat ourselves of progress”.

The Presidency’s imprint is all overall this assault but it has repeatedly and illogically denied any involvement. The AGF does not act unilaterally. He is answerable to someone. Let that person call him to order. It is not worth bringing down our constitutional democracy because of the beef against a single man. Fair is fair, Saraki is not above the law but the law is not expected to become a whip in the hand of a man to be used to settle personal scores. Currently, Nigeria’s democracy is under ambush. Constitutional democracy in Nigeria must not be made bankrupt. The ultimate task before us is not to let Nigeria become a banana republic. NEVER!

Of course he was harshly critical of Jonathan, because he is a chronic northern bigot.

@bolded And what has changed? That Buhari appointed more northerners? In whose interest?

Damn, sometimes I underestimate the naivety of wailers. Okay then, you're right .

APC came into power in order to STEAL, TO KILL AND TO DESTROY. PDP would have done better to manage this crises, the rate at which zombies are reducing is alarming.
