The world is democratising and Nigeria finally joined the league of other democratic nations\u00a016 years ago after our previous attempts collapsed like a pack of cards. Under\u00a0a despot \u00a0who died with his boots on, we saw the ghosts of late dictators \u00a0hovering over Nigeria like \u00a0Ismail Enver Pasha, leader of the Ottoman Empire during the Balkan Wars and World War I, \u00a0North Korea\u2019s Kim II-Sung’s dictatorial leader who led the country in a dreadful direction.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Others are\u00a0Mao Zedong of China, communist leader and revolutionary who led the People\u2019s Republic of China, and back in Africa, Mengistu Haile Mariam of \u00a0Ethiopia who \u00a0led the country\u00a0from 1974 to 1991 and initiated The Red Terror campaign that recorded the worst mass murder ever in Africa and, of course, the self-acclaimed Field Marshall, Idi Amin Dada whose rule like we have today in Nigeria was marked with brutality, human rights abuse and ethnic persecution calling to mind \u00a0the ongoing suppression of the Igbo nation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the period under sad review, many of us who objected to the absolute power wielded by the late dark-goggled Aso Rock dictator had no option but to flee the country. This was in the heat of pro-democracy struggle in Nigeria amid state-linked killings and brutal repressions worse than nazi-Germany.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Voices of reason like the late National Democratic Coalition chieftain and elder statesman \u00a0Chief Anthony Enahoro had to flee the country when he \u00a0was marked out for death, the\u00a0Nigerian\u00a0literary guru – the Nobel Laureate – Nigeria’s pride, \u00a0Prof. Wole Soyinka and many others who were at the forefront of the pro-democracy struggle had to follow suit resulting from an ill-conceived plan to send them to their untimely graves. These were indeed dark days in our nation’s history.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The late despot Sani Abacha ‘may God rest his soul’ has probably not left the four walls of a secondary grammar school somewhere in the desert city of Kano when the late elder statesman he had planned to cut down moved the historic motion of Nigeria’s independence back in 1953 from British rule, a country which he later bestrode like a colossus. Many other NADECO chieftains among whom were Pa Alfred Rewane, Kudirat Abiola were hit and \u00a0the uncrowned winner of 1993 presidential election in Nigeria, Chief Abiola was unduly incarcerated and died while in detention. In fact, so many things went wrong so much so that one loathes the distinctive Nigerian identity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That period, however, remains the darkest part of our nation’s night but \u00a0like a bolt from the blue we were freed from that yoke that heralded a return to civil democratic rule through the agency of the self-styled evil genius. I know many would contest\u00a0this, but it is undeniably\u00a0true. Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar would probably\u00a0have held on to power like other sit-tight African leaders but contrary to all expectations \u00a0he heeded the advice of his boss Gen. Ibrahim Babangida as matters were somewhat getting out of hand probably from some\u00a0esprit\u00a0de corps<\/em>\u00a0developed through comradeship \u00a0resolved to end the military\u00a0rule \u00a0that ultimately ushered in civilian government in 1999 with his handpicked former boss President Olusegun Obasanjo to lead Nigeria again.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thus, the military forces were \u00a0sent back and had them confined to the barracks to concentrate on their statutory duty of defending the country instead of playing the \u00a0neophyte \u00a0actors in the governance chess game \u00a0He earns my respect for this rare display of \u00a0magnanimity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This marked the dawn of a new era in Nigeria which was none other than a welcome relief \u00a0today it is becoming a less savoury experiment. Having watched \u00a0behind the scenes, I do not, frankly, think \u00a0the dividends of democracy were \u00a0enjoyed beyond former President Olusegun’s tenure. When President Yar ‘Adua took ill and \u00a0inevitably went the way of all flesh, President Jonathan completed his tenure in accordance with the provisions of the constitution and contested which he won in 2011. That victory cost Nigeria so many things resulting from one man’s intransigence which ultimately transformed into aggression and violence.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The riot and consequent \u00a0killings that trailed the 2011\u00a0presidential election in Nigeria soon after former President Jonathan was declared the\u00a0winner by beating the then \u00a0closest opponent, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd.) ominously threatened our nascent democracy in the face. In the years that followed while Jonathan ruled, we saw Nigeria gyrating between panic attacks and undefined hopes until he fell prey to a grand conspiracy that booted him out of Aso Rock to his Otueke ancestral home on May 29, 2015.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A new Sheriff and an ethics policeman took charge. It is six calendar months today that power like the ‘marshal’s \u00a0baton’ \u00a0was given to President Muhammadu Buhari after his party, the All Progressive Congress, won by a landslide. Driven by his party’s change slogan he delved into work and began cleansing the Augean stables. The first shocker we got when he assumed office was to order bombing raids on Cross-Rivers creek communities that left many defenceless civilians, including children and women dead.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That was a danger signal and the atmosphere reeked of blood and foreboded repression – a sad \u00a0pointer that the leopard could never change its spots. We had earlier recorded deaths in 2011 when it became clear that he had lost the presidential election and the deaths again \u00a0recorded by the bombings he ordered in Cross-Rivers was a sad reminder which only swelled the number. These are harrowing incidents that keep this writer astounded in no small measure.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a bid to cleanse the \u00a0proverbial Augean stables what we visibly see is nothing short of a harrowing departure \u00a0from \u00a0all accepted norms \u00a0and procedures. You are labelled an undesirable \u00a0and consequently marked out for a tragic fate once you are not on the same page with the regime in Abuja while the party partisans and apologists have become the rightful heirs of our common patrimony.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This brings the assassination\u00a0bid of Nigeria’s Deputy Senate President Ekweremadu into focus. It has made news headlines across the globe and the international community has been watching what is happening in \u00a0Nigeria which is fundamentally opposed to all accepted \u00a0democratic norms and this leaves the country risk-averse. There is no denying the fact that there are traces of brutality, human right abuse and ethnic abuse in Nigeria under the present Buhari regime like the world witnessed when Amin ruled over Uganda that qualified him for a despot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Be that as it may, reports making the rounds say soon after the attempt on Ekweremadu’s life, his seat was methodically and dramatically taken by Senator Remi Tinubu in the Red Chambers and our Honourable men and women \u00a0 watched helplessly \u00a0in consternation. This story, frankly, is better imagined than real.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In civilized world as the manhunt for the killer squad begins, if the drama that reportedly \u00a0took place in the senate chamber\u00a0 is anything to go by \u00a0Sen. Remi Tinubu runs the risk of being \u00a0 thoroughly \u00a0investigated and \u00a0 implicated in that heinous \u00a0crime commencing with wiretapping, surveillance and e-mail monitoring but, who is there to bell the proverbial cat when the ruling \u00a0APC, according to the \u00a0PDP, may have recruited the killer squad on the prowl?<\/div>\n
