PoliticsThe Mythology Of Ogun :lessons For OYEGUN And His Fundamentalist Sect,apc. by karben(op): 6:04pm On Feb 06, 2016
THE MYTHOLOGY OF OGUN: LESSONS FOR OYEGUN AND HIS FUNDAMENTALIST SECT, APC.

It is somewhat disheartening that a person who goes by the name: Oyegùn, akin to that of the Yoruba god of Iron and war, Ògùn, has picked no lessons from his mythology especially as it relates to what transpired at iré èkiti culminating in the decision of Ògùn not to set his eyes on his son.

Going by historical accounts, Ògùn who was frequently sought after by towns within Yoruba land to fight on their behalf on this particular day had returned to Iré èkiti, his town after many years of absence. He had been at Ondo land for many years where he had gone to fight for the people of Ondo. While he was away, his young son Iré held brief for him as the traditional ruler of the town.

On this day of Ògùn's return to Iré èkiti after many years of absence and while his town had advanced both in culture, tradition and population, he met the town's chiefs meeting about the welfare of the town. As had become customary in Ògùn's absence, the chiefs didn't speak during meeting but spoke in sign language until they were done after which they drank palm wine and spoke freely among themselves.

When Ògùn met them meeting, he greeted them and enquired of his son but got no response, then he became infuriated by their silence and unsheathed his sword and began to behead them. Then some took to their heels from the meeting, due to their vow of silence during meetings, to where they could speak and told Ògùn that they were offsprings of Iré his son, the king of Iré èkiti.

Feeling terribly guilty for his impatience and undoing, Ògùn swore never to set his eyes on his son, Iré, after realizing that he had killed his grandsons and other chiefs in anger. That incident led to Ògùn's eventual exit from cohabiting with humans. History has it that he never saw his son again and retired to the earth thenceforth.

This story has powerful lessons for people in power today especially anyone who goes by the name of Oyegùn and heads a political party in a country called Nigeria.

The first lesson is that long absence from a position of power requires a period of re-education and reorientation to be abreast with latest operational trends and procedures for achieving superior results. Believing that things will stay fixed or that old strategies will work in a new order is not just a recipe for crisis but the grandest of all delusions. Besides, there's a whole world of difference between running a military government and running a democracy.

It is understandable, and we empathise with them, that both Oyegùn and his fundamentalist sect operating in the name and business of a political party have been out of power for many years and do not quite understand the workings of a democracy. But it behoves on them, if their motives are genuine, to get acquainted with the ethos of democracy and the rule of law rather than seek to militarise a fledging democracy just to get their way.

The vow by the Chiefs at Iré èkiti was as sacred as the oath sworn to by the Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to uphold the law. To expect that because a new government is in power should mean that the import of that oath would diminish is barefaced wishful thinking. The law, especially in a democracy, is not a respecter of persons, no matter the stature or power possessed. An oath is an oath and remains abiding for as long as its objective subsists.

In fact, that Oyegùn said something was fundamentally wrong with the verdict of the Supreme Court was itself a self-indicting statement by him and his Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). The reality is that rather than speak as a nationalist Oyegùn was motivated by partisan and fundamentalist considerations, which, in their strict senses, are both inimical to nation building. How then do they intend to build Nigeria?

The same Party hailed the Supreme Court when its decision was to their advantage but was quick to call for probe when the decision got them below the belt.

The question then is: do they think the Supreme Court is an arm of their fundamentalist organisation? Do they even think that by seeking to armtwist the judiciary to kowtow to their party's whims and caprices and vagrantly undermine the rule of law in Nigeria, they stand to obtain any valuable benefit?

Oyegùn has called for a probe of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria by the APC for losing a case in their court. Who then will probe the like of Justice Ambrosa of the Rivers State Governorship Elections Petition Tribunal who departed from all known legal principles which the Supreme Court by its landmark judgment affirmed? Does this call to probe also mean that Justice Yakubu of the Court of Appeal, who unlike Justice Ambrosa, upheld legal principles would also be probed? Since judicial probes are now limited to and directed at those who give 'unfavourable' decisions to the APC, does it not mean that the APC, a political fundamentalist sect not fundamentally different in operations from the religious fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram, is bent on derailing Nigeria's democracy?

Although from the mythology of Ògùn, he was swayed by impatience and strong passion to wrongfully kill his own offsprings for not understanding the import of their silence, he was humble enough to acknowledge his error and courageous to impose judgment on himself; Oyegùn on the other hand, along with his Party, carry on as though they command the unconditional obeisance of the elements and have bluntly refused to heed the call to reason. It is laughable; very laughable. For the APC to think that this is a sustainable route to good governance is to deliberately put itself on self-destruct mode and it's only a matter of time.

Oyegùn and his anarchist regime will soon find that not everything bows to Baal. The Supreme Court has spoken and quite clearly. The effect is reverberating across the land. The Nigerian people will surely be the next as this was definitely not the change they bought.

SARAKI MUST RESIGN NOW- SEN. LAWAN

Senate Unity Forum, on Friday asked Dr. Bukola Saraki to step aside as Senate President.

The group, following Friday’s Supreme Court judgement on the trial of the Senate President at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, said that Saraki must
resign as the leader of the upper chamber.

The SUF, which supported Senator Ahmed Lawan, during the Senate presidential election in June last
year, said a person answering criminal charges could not lead the Senate.
The anti-Saraki senators demanded the immediate resignation of Senate President so that he could
concentrate on his trial at the CCT.
PoliticsDasuki Is Being Held For Offenses Committed Since 1994- EFCC Lawyer Reveals. by karben(op): 11:50am On Feb 06, 2016
Dasuki Is Being Held For Offenses Comitted Since 1994 - EFCC Lawyer Reveals

Lawyer to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has given an indication that Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, was being held for other allegations aside the arms procurement scandal.

This revelation came to the fore when counsel to Dasuki, Joseph Daudu (SAN) and Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), representing EFCC, were addressing the
court on a motion praying for the release of
Dasuki.

Dasuki had been denied freedom despite at least
two court orders.

DAILY POST recalls that he was, after his release
from Kuje Prison, rearrested by the Department of
State Services (DSS).

During Thursday proceedings, the prosecution
explained that DSS rearrested Dasuki on the
grounds that it was investigating the former NSA
on alleged breach of service law when he was in
the army.

The offences were allegedly committed 22 years
after he left service in 1994.

The prosecution counsel said: “Dasuki was a
fugitive for seven years and he is being
investigated for series of alleged offences he
committed when he was in the army.”

He, however, advised Dasuki to evoke section 46 of
the constitution and institute a civil action to
challenge his arrest and enforce his fundamental
right to his liberty.

Earlier, the defence counsel (Daudu), in a motion,
urged the court to prohibit the government from
further prosecuting Dasuki or seeking any
indulgence from the court until the bail granted
him was allowed to be enjoyed.

He protested that his client was being unfairly
treated after different courts of justice had granted
him bail, a situation he described as constituting
contempt of the court.

The defense counsel also asked Justice Baba-
Yusuf to discharge the defendant of all offences
contained in the charge against Dasuki on the
grounds that the government could not lawfully
prosecute Dasuki having been in contempt of the
court.

Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf fixed February 8,
2016, to rule on whether to discharge Dasuki of
the criminal charges preferred against him or not.
Reacting, an associate of the ex-NSA told DAILY
POST that the current government has
unconsciously told the world that Dasuki’s probe
is not just about arms deal.

“Do we conclude that government security
agencies are carrying out a vendetta? It doesn’t
appear this is balanced trial now that we know
there is perhaps a political undertone,” he said.

“They say he maltreated President Buhari during
the coup, a speculation he has clarified on more
than one occasion, saying he met the General only
at Bonny Camp with Lawal Rafindadi. Most of the
actors are alive.”

“They say offences after he left Army for 1994; I
hope this people are not confused already. How
many offences are they now charging him for? Five
hundred, a thousand or more? They should be
honourable to make it public and stop bringing up
more charges after bails are granted.

“They want to prosecute him for fighting for
democracy? They should serve their memory cold
water; Dasuki was one of those who insisted that
MKO Abiola be freed and allowed to become
President. He and others confronted late General
Abacha over June 12 election. This led to their
premature retirement in 1994.

“The persecution that followed forced him into exile where he formed ties with like minds fighting for the return of democracy in Nigeria. Tinubu is alive
and he is aware of what I am saying. He also left the shores of Nigeria when it became apparent his life was in danger. I won’t say more, we are
watching.”
