ear Mr Femi Fani-Kayode,
Like any other Nigerian, I read the impetuous and ill-
thought out diatribe, from you, against President
Muhammadu Buhari. I am writing as a concerned Nigerian;
the presidential spokesmen are at liberty to respond to you
in a manner they consider fitting and prosper.
When I read yours, my first reaction was like – oh, our
brother has gone mad again! Of course, it is a veiled
reference to the vestigial deleterious effect of prolonged and
unrestrained dealing in harmful drugs. The manner of your
summersaults – occasioned by the incoherence and
irascibility manifested in yours to the President - is clear
attestation to the permanence of the scar of previous
contacts with drugs, irrespective of various rehabilitative
interventions.
Before I respond to yours seriatim, it is necessary for me to
point out the perfidy in your belief that Nigerians have not
read your book and fully understood your well-rehearsed
approach to getting Presidential attention. In the early days
of the Obasanjo administration, you attacked the former
president with unfeigned savagery. Afterwards, you were
invited to serve as the former President’s attack dog – an
endeavor you undertook beyond expectation. Even the
Federal Law makers, in the performance of their
constitutional duties, were not spared from your
vituperative discontent. In that dispensation, any citizen that
showed courage in demurring with the politics or policy of
your principal, risked coming under the hammer of your
caustic tongue! For as long as former President Good-luck
Jonathan did not bring you into his government, you dished
out unceasing excoriation of his person. The moniker-
clueless President- was attributed to you. Shortly after you
were engrafted into his propaganda team, he became the
idol that all Nigerians should worship. It is therefore for this
reason that I see beyond your latest tantrums as merely
succumbing to relapsing effect of drug. You are indeed
plotting another scheme at ingratiating yourself into the
Buhari administration. Unfortunately for you, this current
President is too focused to be fazed by your excoriation or
applause!
You said:
“your penchant for blaming your failings in this regard on
the previous administration is simply nauseating and it does
not serve you well.”
The fact of history which, neither you nor any of your co-
travellers in the business of historical revisionism can
controvert, is that Jonathan’s locust years have laid the
foundation for the current famine pervading the Nigerian
nation. You need to come clean on how much the Jonathan
administration gave you for the five months of verbal
assaults unleashed on the real and imaginary adversaries of
former President Jonathan! Furthermore, I do not want to
believe you have suddenly added selective amnesia into the
mix of the afflictions already ravaging your being. Was it not
Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh, former President Jonathan’s
appointee as Chief of Defense Staff, who said shortly after
retirement that the last time there was any procurement of
military hardware was during former President Obasanjo’s
regime? Is that not corroborated by the supporting evidence
of the office of National security Adviser turning into cashier
for funneling money set aside for security purposes into the
private pockets of PDP zealots like yourself?
You said:
“when the British Minister of Defense visited you in the
Presidential Villa the other day the story changed. You did a
U-turn and gleefully told him and the wider world that
President Jonathan bought arms with raw cash.”
Given your admirable top British University education, you
are expected to show modicum of intelligence in your
response; the ease with which you recede into fatuousness
for selfish-centered reasons really rankles! So, you are now
unable to discern the use of sarcasm anymore? Which other
country, in our contemporary world, ever did arms’
procurement with raw cash in ‘Ghana- must- go bags’ as
Jonathan government? Is it not clear that the $9.3million and
the private jet used for the transportation are both products
of chicanery and dishonor?
You said:
“Despite the challenges and constraints President Jonathan
faced, instead of losing any more ground, he rose to the
occasion and retook no less than 22 local government areas
and virtually pushed Boko Haram out of Nigeria.”
Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, would you, for the purpose of clarity,
itemize the 22 local governments that Jonathan’s rag-tag
military rescued retook? Of course, Nigerians know that,
yours is merely mendacious spewing! You do not wish to be
taken seriously, do you?
You said:
“Instead of fighting Boko Haram, you are fighting and killing
your own people. Worse still you have refused to defend
our country. I say this because a few days ago the
Cameroonian military invaded our country, violated our
territorial integrity and savagely murdered over 70 innocent
Nigerians in their village before burning it down.”
The Lake Chad multinational force comprising – Nigeria,
Cameroon, Chad, Niger – was set up to foster cooperation
among these frontline countries bearing the brunt of Boko
Haram insurgency. It was part of the rules of engagement
for trans-border cooperation. In other words, the pursuit of
insurgents by any country can continue into the territory of
another country in the coalition. You have merely played
into the gallery with this one. Of course, Nigerians can truly
discern that, for a long time since independence, Nigeria has
just been blessed with a truly patriotic leader in President
Muhammadu Buhari.
It is easily discernible that you are going down in cash to
sustain your obviously ostentatious lifestyle. Let me remind
you that the days of reckoning are around the corner. It was
William Shakespeare who said: “The evil that men do live
after them.” I think your past misdeeds shall continue to
haunt you. What did you do to your older sibling, Atkins
Fani-Kayode? How did you treat your wife’s worker, Musa
Leshi, who almost went to jail for the environmental
transgression committed by your Ghanaian-born wife- Mrs
Regina Fani-kayode (nee Amoo) – and her company- MENU
INTERNATIONAL BAR/RESTAURANT situated at No 7 Randle
Road Apapa, Lagos? See the bail bond document below
and ask yourself how it was perfected!
Let it be known to you that the gimmickry of your letter is
not lost on any one. The fact of the matter is that the Buhari
administration cannot have a character like you as an aide,
no matter how hard you try.
Perhaps, you may also have tried this attack mode as a way
of stymieing any future probe of the improper slice of the
national patrimony given to you by the Jonathan
government. This, too, has failed! This President,
Muhammadu Buhari, is a stickler for process, order and the
rule of law. Should there be need for you to answer
questions on your show of impunity in the past, please be
sure that there shall be no hesitation in doing so.
I wish you a happy new year ahead.
Rotimi Fashakin.

Pathetic

...

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf was the Minister of Information in the dying days of Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq. Nicknamed “Comical Ali” by British tabloids, al-Sahaf made a fool of himself during the Iraqi war by constantly fabricating victories of the Iraqi army, even as territory after territory fell to the American-led allied forces. What was so ridiculous about him was that his lies were so blatant, only fools could believe them. Even when American tanks rolled into Baghdad, Comical Ali declared: “There is no presence of the American columns in the city of Baghdad at all. We besieged them and we killed most of them. Today, the tide has turned. We are destroying them. The Americans are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks.” Comical Lai Lai Mohammed, Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, is Nigeria’s home-grown “Comical Ali.” It would not be unfair to fashion him as “the Minister of FABU.” Barely two months of assuming office, Mohammed has established himself as an instrument of cheap propaganda and disinformation. On internet blogs today, he is now generally referred to by his traducers as “Liar Mohammed.” Without a doubt, he has earned this sobriquet by his penchant to be extremely economical with the truth. Lai Mohammed’s tall tales have now reached epidemic proportions. It is a contradiction in terms that a government that claims to be anti-corruption, and a president that boasts to be a man of integrity, should have a “Comical Ali” as its face and spokesman. It is doubtful that Mohammed can stop being himself. However, if President Buhari is interested in redeeming his now battered image, he needs to admit he made a big error of judgment in appointing Mohammed as a minister. Lai Mohammed must be fired immediately. Barring which, the only honourable thing left for the Honourable Minister to do is to resign. A Minister of Information should not be allowed to become a Minister of Misinformation. Fictitious Victory On December 23, 2015, Mohammed told a meeting of editorial heads of media houses in Lagos that the Nigerian military has met President Buhari’s deadline to defeat Boko Haram before December 31, 2015. Said Mohammed: “Today, I can report that the war against Boko Haram is largely won. Today, I can report to you that the entire 70 plus kilometres stretch from Maiduguri to Bama and all the way to Banki which leads to Cameroun and the Central African Republic are in the hands of our gallant troops. They have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory just as they can no longer carry out any spectacular attack.” Rather than call his minister to order, President Buhari backed him up in the bid to white-wash the gaffe of predicting Boko Haram would be defeated before the end of the year. He told the BBC: “Boko Haram has reverted to using improvised explosive devices. They have now been reduced to that. But articulated conventional attacks on centres of communication and populations… they are no longer capable of doing that effectively. So I think technically we have won the war because people are going back into their neighbourhoods. Boko Haram as an organised fighting force, I assure you, that we have dealt with them.” The president conveniently forgot he had said at his inaugural address that: “We cannot claim to have defeated Boko Haram without rescuing the Chibok girls and all other innocent persons held hostage by insurgents.” We have heard nothing about the Chibok girls. Nevertheless, the president now says Boko Haram has been technically defeated. Are we therefore to conclude that the Chibok girls have also been technically rescued? Boko Haram Response The victory declarations of Lai Mohammed and President Buhari turned out not only to be palpably false, but outrightly dangerous. Just two days after Mohammed’s declaration, the Boko Haram who he says “can no longer carry out any spectacular attack” attacked Kimba in Borno State. They killed 14 hapless people and razed the village to the ground. According to eye-witness reports, “not a single house was spared in the arson.” One day later, a coordinated fighting unit of Boko Haram infantry attacked Maiduguri. They came in a military convoy, precisely the manner the president boasted is now impossible. They then dug in for a pitched battle against the Nigerian army. Thereafter, two female suicide-bombers detonated explosives in the Jiddari area of Maiduguri, with casualty figures yet to be determined. There is no doubt these attacks were direct responses to APC’s vain propaganda. Boko Haram decided to give the lie to the bombastic statements that it has been defeated, either technically or in actuality. To drive home the point beyond reasonable doubt, the insurgents chose to attack Maiduguri, the very command and control epicentre of Nigeria’s military operations in the North-East. Clearly, the defeat of Boko Haram only exists as figments in the imaginations of APC propagandists. Having won the election by manipulating the press, they now seek to govern by employing a cacophony of jobless youth whose charge is to post “SAI Buhari” comments on as many internet blogs as possible. They also have the mandate to attack anyone who refuses to buy the many-splendored FABUS of the APC government. APC’s bogus propaganda is partly responsible for the deaths and destruction in Kimba, Aladuwari and Maiduguri, the full extent of which are yet to be determined. The false victory procession of APC chieftains provoked the Boko Haram to contradict them at the cost of Nigerian lives. It is way too early to call for the impeachment of Mr. President. But it is high time to call for the retirement of Lai Mohammed. We must not allow this local “Comical Ali” to continue to use Nigerian lives to score cheap political points. While the APC was busy celebrating the fictitious death of Boko Haram, the New York-based Institute for Economics and Peace declared in its latest Global Terrorism Index that Boko Haram “has become the most deadly terrorist group in the world.” The day before Mohammed’s bombast, UNICEF declared that Boko Haram has succeeded in keeping over one million children out of school, warning that this is likely to add fuel to the insurgency by radicalising the youth in the North-East. Campaign Recantations It was Lai Mohammed who told Nigerians the promises of the APC during the election were actually not from the APC. The APC denied its key presidential campaign documents: “My Covenant with Nigerians” and “One Hundred Things Buhari Will Do in 100 Days.” Buhari himself presents one of the documents in the first person, saying: “The covenant is derived from the manifesto of my party, the All Progressives Congress. It however represents my pledge to you all when I become your president.” But once he became president, Mohammed denied them. He swore that: “Buhari never promised to do anything in 100 days, that’s the honest truth.” However, when APC Senators were forced to vote against their own campaign promise to provide N5,000 monthly to 25 million unemployed Nigerians, Mohammed declared that the government already has 1.4 trillion naira recovered from banks through the TSA ready to fulfil the promise. He said we should expect it in the 2016 budget. These are his words: “The non-implementation of the payment policy so far is due to the fact that it was not included in the 2015 budget. The Muhammadu Buhari administration has been busy putting in place measures that will make it possible to start the implementation of this project.” This has turned out as usual to be another tissue of lies. The 2016 budget has now been announced, and there is nothing about the N5000 stipend for the 25 million unemployed. Presidential Doublespeak The government of President Buhari is replete with contradictions and doublespeak. At the APC South-East rally in Owerri, Buhari declared he would make the naira equal to the dollar if voted into office. He continued: “It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than 230 to one dollar. This does not speak well for the nation’s economy.” How does it speak for the economy now that the value of the naira has dropped under Buhari to 280 to the dollar? Buhari said: “Boko Haram is a typical example of small fires causing large fires. An eccentric and unorthodox preacher with a tiny following was given posthumous fame and following by his extra-judicial murder at the hands of the police.” What then are we to say about the extra-judicial massacre of over 300 Shiite Muslims in Zaria at the hands of the Nigerian army under this Buhari administration? Buhari said during the campaign: “You are all my people; I will treat you all as mine. I will work for those who voted for me, voted against me and those who didn’t vote at all.” Then he said after the campaign: “The constituents (that) gave me 97 percent cannot in all honesty be treated on some issues with constituencies that gave me 5 percent.” On his election, the president said: “Our long night is over and a new dawn has come… Democracy and rule of law will be put in place.” “I pledge myself and the government to the rule of law, in which none shall be so above the law that they are not subject to its dictates, and none shall be so below it that they are not availed of its protection.” But under his administration, democracy and the rule of law has continued to be violated. The DSS ignores court verdicts with impunity, as happened in the case of Dasuki and Kanu. Justice Muazu Pindigi was summarily replaced by Justice Ambrosa as chairman of the Rivers State governorship petitions tribunal and PDP’s victory was quickly annulled. Pindigi said: “The Supreme Court has said that for an election to be annulled, the petitioner has to prove that elections didn’t hold at the polling units where the winner was returned elected. I’m not sure that the Ambrosa’s judgment arrived through that route.” During the election, Buhari declared the maintenance of the presidential fleet of aircrafts a colossal waste of money. He said: “For me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channeled into our economy.” However, since he became president, not a single plane has been sold. Billions of naira continue to be spent as the president has gone on one international junket after the other. blogs.premiumtimesng.com/?p=170190

Racism will never end if people still use black to symbolise bad luck and white for peace. Racism will never end if people still wear white clothes to weddings and black clothes to funerals. Racism will never end as long as those who don't pay their bills are blacklisted not whitelisted. Even when playing snooker.

Editor’s note: The ongoing 2015 ministerial screening at
the Nigerian Senate has turned a new leaf in the book of
Nigerian politics, not only for President Buhari’s slow and
steady approach, but also for high levels of tension among
Nigerians and the candidates themselves. Who is worthy to
occupy this or that ministerial seat? Why this or that
candidate is being treated differently than their
counterparts? As Nigerians are drawing parallels between
the current and previous government officials, Demola
Olarewaju, the Naij.com contributor, compares the
screening experiences of Rotimi Amaechi and Musiliu
Obanikoro.
Rotimi Amaechi (left), Musiliu Obanikoro
Senator Musiliu Obanikoro served his state and country at
the highest legislative office in the hallowed chambers of
the Senate between 2003 and 2007. On the 9th of February
ten years ago, in 2005, Obanikoro moved a motion calling
for an investigation into the destruction and disrepair of the
Velodrome at the National Stadium in Abuja. In January
2014, Obanikoro was nominated by the then-president of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria to become a minister, and
he was duly screened and confirmed as a minister by the
Senate which included members of the newly formed
opposition party the APC and those of the then governing
party the PDP.
After serving as a minister until October 2014, Obanikoro
resigned to contest for the PDP gubernatorial ticket in
Lagos, lost it to Mr. Jimi Agbaje and was recalled by
President Jonathan to return as a minister. This recall threw
up a small legal dilemma with some legal experts saying
Obanikoro did not need to be screened and confirmed by
the Senate having undergone same procedure about a year
before, while others said another round of screening and
confirmation was necessary. In complying with a need to be
above board, Obanikoro’s name was sent to the Senate for
screening.
The case of Obanikoro
In June of 2014, Ekiti had gone to the polls to elect a
governor, and the PDP candidate Ayo Fayose soundly and
roundly defeated the then-incumbent Kayode Fayemi in a
free and fair election. Kayode Fayemi is a highly cerebral
man but whose interactions with the Ekiti people he
governed proved to be his undoing as he was seen as
haughty and arrogant. Fayose on the other hand was down-
to-earth. Fayemi conceded the elections and congratulated
the man who defeated him but his party insisted that Ekitis
had voted for “stomach infrastructure”. Not done yet, the
party claimed further that the INEC had colluded with the
PDP and used a special ink that disappears once a voter
votes for the APC while replacing it with the PDP – these
allegations were thrown out by the tribunal.
The last strand of reality denial by the APC was an audio
recording, alleging that the voices were those of candidate
Ayo Fayose and others including Obanikoro. These
recordings made no reference to rigging, and if anything,
one of the voices actually alleged that the military was
colluding with the incumbent Governor Fayemi to sabotage
the election. This recording became the casus belli of a few
senators to oppose Obanikoro’s second nomination as
minister, despite the fact that it was unverified and
inadmissible as evidence by any law court. This recording
was never tendered as evidence at the Ekiti gubernatorial
tribunal, and Fayose’s election was not only upheld by the
Appeal Court but the man subsequently proved his
dominance of Ekiti politics by leading the PDP to victory in
every election thereafter.
Obanikoro reached out to all his party members in the
Senate for support and secured it. He further reached out
to two southwestern governors who had served alongside
him in the Senate between 2003 and 2007 and were now
governors of their states. They supported him, and the
ranks of the APC senators were broken.
On the day of the screening, as Obanikoro walked in among
his former peers, Senator Oluremi Tinubu stood and
unleashed derogatory words on him as he graciously
bowed to her and strolled away to the podium. Senator
Mudashiru Hussein took off his cap and headed towards
the PDP side of the Senate as if to attack Senator Smart
Adeyemi who was making his point. At the end of the day,
few APC senators walked out, the Senate president took a
voice vote and Obanikoro was confirmed. Several APC
senators remained sitting to participate in the voice vote.
Promise of change or change of promise?
The case against Rotimi Amaechi is based on allegations of
corruption and cannot be compared with that of Obanikoro.
The case against Amaechi is a matter that was investigated
by a Senate committee and the report was clear in its
submission. The entire PDP Senate caucus rose in
opposition to Amaechi’s confirmation. They neither
participated in his screening nor in his confirmation as they
all walked out, leaving the APC alone in its negation of the
campaign promise of change.
That the APC can recall acts of the PDP as justification of its
own actions is a misnomer in itself – where then is the
change? How is it change if the best defence of the APC’s
actions is neither logical nor commonsensical, but a
spurious and condescending “the PDP also did it”? If the
PDP realistically admitted to a culture of patronage as a
reality of political horsetrading, and the APC condemned it
to the highest heavens, why then would a president elected
on the APC platform take four months to prepare a list that
compensates those who worked for him in not only the
2011 elections but as far back as the 2003 elections?!
The standard for judging the APC cannot, must not be what
the PDP did or did not do, but rather the standard that it set
for itself – its own campaign promise of change for which
15 million Nigerians voted while a little more than 12
million voted for the PDP. The APC was not voted into office
to perfect whatever the PDP was doing, but to deliveron a
#PromiseOfChange. So far, this looks like a
#ChangeOfPromise.
