CLINTON’S COMMENTS IN GOOD FAITH
Ever since US Secretary of State, Mrs. Hillary Clinton gave honest and sincere advice to Nigerian leaders to put their house in order and provide committed leadership to their people, there has been uproar in the landscape because PDP and their cronies would not accept the stack reality on the ground. It pains me to no end that some people are running this country aground and yet cannot see it. It worries me to the marrows that the ruling Party, PDP has ruined Nigeria and yet it pretends that all is well. I am totally devastated and scandalized that PDP and its scavengers cannot see the gamut of problems facing Nigeria right now and I fear that something untoward may happen if we do not move fast.
Mrs. Hillary Clinton as an experienced wife, mother, diplomat, author, politician and leader knows the importance of Nigeria in Africa and the world. Mrs Clinton knows the position Nigeria occupies in the scheme of things in Africa and she knows that it is dangerous to allow things to go wrong again. With a population of 150 million people, if civil war breaks out in Nigeria because the leaders failed us, African continent will be destabilized. In fact African continent may not be able to withstand millions of refugees from Nigeria. Even the streets of Europe, America and Asia may have to grapple with the influx of refugees from Nigeria. Mrs. Clinton spoke without minding whose ox is gored because she knows that leaders of PDP in Nigeria have been deaf and dumb. The president of the Senate, Senator David Mark says: “ How can somebody be sitting in the United States and be telling us how to solve serious crisis in this country? Have they got the solution to their problems? How did they find themselves in Iraq?And for the big for nothing Party called PDP: “Mrs Clinton seems to have taken her briefs from individuals or groups and other failed politicians who have an axe to grind with the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
Now if David Mark can underrate and underestimate the United States the way he did in the statement above, I must then conclude that he is not fit to occupy the exalted position of the president of Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If David Mark does not know that no country lives in isolation in our world today then he needs an elementary training in civics. If David Mark does not know that the world is worried about the precarious state of Nigeria, it paints the picture that we have a clown as the president of the Senate, Nigeria. David Mark’s statement smacks total irresponsibility and unbecoming of anybody that is privileged to be the Senate President of Nigeria. But David Mark cannot change. A key player in the annulment of June 12 1993 Presidential election won by the late Chief Moshood Abiola which took Nigeria back 20 years, David Mark can never change. A man who said as Minister of communication that telephone can never be for the poor, has seen 70 million Nigerians using mobile phones today.
The truth is that this country is going backwards because David Marks of this world stole their way to power. If the likes of David Mark remains in power in Nigeria, we may not make it because no nation rises above the capacity of the people ruling it. As for the useless Party called PDP, what else can we expect? So this Party that is hopelessly myopic, totally visionless, mercilessly irredeemable, bereft of ideas, short in content, culture and character, timidly pliant, pliable and pitiable think that Mrs Clinton will come to seek its input on how to move Nigeria forward? A Party that seeks to rule Nigeria for 60 years with impunity thinks that the world takes it serious. A party that has wasted Nigerian’s golden opportunity to join the world civilized nations think that it still has some respect. The worst that can happen to anybody is for that person to overate himself or herself. PDP confounds us when it thinks it can still call the shots in Nigeria in the nearest future. God must help us to destroy this gang of heartless criminals that fused themselves to form PDP.
This imbecile called PDP has been ruling Nigeria for 10 years now and what we have today is that ASUU is on strike, there is war in the Niger Delta, all the federal roads are bad, Nigeria is in total darkness, kidnappers are on the prowl, Islamic fundamentalists ravaging the North, violent crimes everywhere, and election riggers in power. If this is not a failure of leadership tell me what it is. If anybody comes to seize power by force in Nigeria today he will give you 100 genuine reasons why he has to intervene. This is just to show you how deep we have sunk.
God almighty, please help us to destroy PDP, Please help us to cripple this Party forever, help to remove this Party from the face of the earth. Please God, help us to bury this misnomer and misfit called PDP.
