-Having first overlooked Femi Adesina’s rantings, I was driven on second
thoughts by a compelling need this evening to write this rejoinder with
reference to his reaction to former President Jonathan’s remark. Femi’s
reaction could be best described as nothing but the reactionary rantings
of a mentally deranged Homo Sapiens who is only acting the infamous script
of a visionless overlord.
His services have only been retained to whitewash the Abuja regime and
that is what he seems good at. It is high time he was reminded that
Nigerians are not only tired but fagged out with the Buhari-led government
which is none other than a vast empire of corruption. He has in fact been
dancing and this time dancing naked and now dangerously close to
annihilation. I wonder what Femi sees in a government whose name is
nothing but only synonymous with evil, gross ineptitude, incompetence and
abysmal failures which have only succeeded in dragging Nigeria over fifty
years backwards.
Today, there is no denying the fact that Nigeria is nosediving to a failed
state with deaths here and there which remain unprecedented in the history
of Nigeria. So many people have died as a result of Buhari’s failed
economic policies which is a pointer to the fact that the APC-led
government under Buhari was actually never prepared for governance but for
trouble and consequent catastrophe which was only averted by Jonathan’s
rare display of humility, tolerance and sportsmanship.
Nigeria has never been this divided before now but Femi Adesina’s master
in Aso Rock has only succeeded in dividing Nigeria along ethnic and
religious lines by setting the father against the son or vice versa and
this has created mistrust, hate and acrimony among the various ethnic
nationalities that make up the federation of Nigeria. That America’s
prediction about imminent break-up of Nigeria will come to pass under
Buhari is not in dispute, in fact, Nigeria is only sitting on the keg of
gunpowder which is bound to explode any time soon.
Femi, you can not feign ignorance of this obviously sad situation under
the existing circumstances considering the anger ravaging the nooks and
crannies of Nigeria against the Buhari-led Federal Government which has
brought nothing but woe and misery to many families across Nigeria.
Jonathan whose name you disparage did much better than your paymaster
whose ass you lick for peanuts in the face of this agonising hardship,
crying incompetence have inflicted upon Nigerians.
If you have ever left the shores of Nigeria, you will no doubt agree with
me that your master’s rule is an epoch of corruption and tyranny
epitomised in the turpitude of figures that knows next to nothing as far
as good governance is concerned. He is none other than a spineless coward
who is bent solely on personal aggrandisement.
You know as well as I know that Buhari never won that presidential
election and parading himself as the president of Nigeria as it is today
is tantamount to high treason. Buhari’s local and international
conspiracies against his predecessor only succeeded in bastardising the
sovereign wishes of the Nigerian voters who trooped out en masse to elect
their leader certainly not that brainless doll who today bestrides the
Nigerian political world like a colossus while things begin to fall apart
marvellously!
Every result on the ground today is an index of abysmal failure that makes
us more divided than united as a nation, thanks to the seed of discord
your master has succeeded in sowing yet he says he stands for one, united
and indivisible Nigeria. What a contradiction in terms!
Jonathan did not need to tell us what happened. We watched behind the
scenes all the events that unfolded in Nigeria in the historic build-up to
the 2015 federal elections and the role the media played in ‘destroying’
Dr Jonathan before the elections took place. Monstrous lies were told that
weakened the gullible minds against the most humble leader ever in
Nigeria’s history.
We have moved past that phase now and your master has been given enough
time to prove what he is capable of doing to show us the change Nigerians
never stood in need of in the first place after all. To our greatest
chagrin, he has only succeeded in inflicting excruciating pains on
Nigerians with suicide rate on the ascending order of magnitude – a rare
occurrence if non-existent in Jonathan days.
Femi Adesina should, as a matter of fact, be ashamed of himself for
whitewashing and supporting an overlord who rules by a caprice which is
against all democratic norms, practices, and no more fashionable anywhere
in today’s world.
Many Nigerians have been sent to their untimely graves as a result of
Buhari’s highhandedness all in a bid to consolidate his hold on power. The
agitation in the south-east today and the extra-judicial killings in the
region are the worst acts of barbarism one could ever commit in the
civilised world. Little wonder Nigeria’s name is being denigrated today by
Biafra separatists with an apt appellation – The Zoo!
Is there a better name under the existing circumstances? Frankly, I do not
think so.
