Just like i told Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Osinbanjo yesterday in Nigeria&#8230; Those who think that they have<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">politically grown to insult you will all regret it before month end sir. I<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">am here (London) to register my undiluted love and unalloyed support to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">you. I was involved in all their meetings and I know what their plans are.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The long recess of NASS is going to be your advantage and not theirs like<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">they thought and planned&#8221;- Senator Godswill Akpabio to President Muhammadu<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Buhari.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Those that do not have the courage of their convictions and that do not<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">have the guts to stand against tyranny when under fire are not worthy of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">being called men: they are little better than beasts.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The fact that the former Governor of Akwa Ibom, Senator Godswill Akpabio,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">is a coward and a traitor is no longer in dispute. The fact that his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">brazen treachery knows no bounds is what can best be described as &#8220;settled<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">law&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">A leader must be ready to sacrifice his liberty and life in defence of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">truth, justice and righteousness and he must be prepared to defend his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">nation, faith, people and loved ones no matter the price he may have to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">pay.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Sadly such noble virtues and high standards are lost on men like Akpabio.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">To them such matters and sentiments are like Greek or Latin: they can<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">neither understand their meaning or grasp their import.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">They fail to appreciate the fact that fear is not a virtue but a vice.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">They refuse to acknowledge the fact that to blink the eye, bat the eyelid,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">surrender, compromise, buckle, capitulate and bend the knee to the tyrant<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and his minions in a futile and last minute attempt to preserve your life<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and liberty is utterly shameful.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Akpabio&#8217;s desire to decamp to the APC due to his trepidation and fear of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the EFCC and Buhari&#8217;s regime is pitiful. If he has done nothing wrong then<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">why the fear and why the trepidation? Where is his faith in God?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">And if he has done something wrong, given the fact that he has opposed<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">them virulently for the last three years, does he honestly believe that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the Buhari regime will not punish him by using it against him if they<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">manage to get back to power next year, no matter how much he helps them<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">today?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">If he believes that then he is not half as intelligent as I once thought.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Buhari is not a man of honor, he is not a worthy ally, he does not keep to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">his pronlmises and he does not have friends. The only friend he has is his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">insatiable lust for power which he feeds on a daily basis.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Aside from that the following questions come to mind. Does Akpabio<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">honestly see any good in Buhari and his goverrnment? Is that what he<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">thinks that Nigerians deserve to suffer for the next few years and if so<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">what is their crime?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten the gratuitous insults that Buhari dishes out so lavishly<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">on the Nigerian people whenever he travels abroad and speaks to foreign<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">leaders and the foreign press?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten about all those that the Buhari government have killed<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and all those that have died and suffered in the struggle against them?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Does the shedding of innocent blood by a desperate government mean nothing<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">to him?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten the tears of the tormented and persecuted and the cries<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of the widows, orphans and the bereaved whose loved ones have been<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">butchered by jihadists, religious fanatics, cow-lovers and ethnic<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">supremacists that Buhari has protected and encouraged over the last three<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">years?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten the anguish of those whose loved ones have been locked up<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">indefinately and those who have been demonised and subjected to the most<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">barbaric and insidious media witchunts in the history of our nation?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten the practice of double standards in the application of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">our laws? Has he forgotten how the rogues in Buhari&#8217;s cabinet and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">government and the governors in his party are above the law and get away<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">with blue murder?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten about the slaughter of northern Christians, IPOB youths<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and Shiite Muslims?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten about the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Fulani<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">terrorists and herdsmen? Has he forgotten about the attack against the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Church and the attempt to undermine and ridicule Christendom?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten about the censorship of the media and how newspapers<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">houses and radio and television stations are warned against airing or<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">publishing anti-government material?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten about Buhari&#8217;s insidious secret romance with Boko Haram<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and how he has strengthened them in the last two years by freeing their<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">commanders and paying them huge and unprecedented ransoms?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten the appauling way that members of our Armed Forces are<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">being treated by the government and how they are massacred on the front<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">lines and given secret mass burials in secret graves with no honor or<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">thanks?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten about the brutal assault on the judiciary and judges and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the undermining of the rule of law? Has he forgotten about the relentless<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">attacks on the legislature and the humiliation of his colleagues at\u00a0 the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">National Assembly?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten about the horrors and wickedness that members and leaders<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of the opposition PDP were subjected to over the last 3 years? Has he<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">forgotten about what the Govermment did to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Sheik El Zak<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Zaky and Col. Ibrahim Dasuki?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten the vitriolic terms and words that they used to describe<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">President Goodluck Jonathan, President Olusegun Obasanjo and every single<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">PDP leader and government that held power between 1999 and 2015?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten that Buhari considers himself to be the third and final<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Mahdi of the north and that he has nothing but contempt and disdain for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">those that come from the Middle Belt and the south and those that do not<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">share his religious faith?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten the insults the Buhari government heaped on southerners,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Middle Belters, Afenifere, Ohaeneze, the Niger Delta Elders, the Middle<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Belt Forum and every single elderstatesman and leader that has called for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the restructuring of our country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten about the division, strife, disgrace, penury, corruption,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">poverty and despair that they have subjected the Nigerian people to over<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the last three years.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has he forgotten what Christians have been subjected to by these demons<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">from hell? Has he forgotten their hatred for the Church?\u00a0 Has he forgotten<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the division, strife, turmoil, bloodshed, torment and havoc that they have<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">inflicted on our nation?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Has Akpabio forgotten about all these things or is that he is so tormented<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">by the fear of his own shadow, the EFCC and Buhari&#8217;s ghost that he has<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">capitulated like a fatherless peasant that lacks nobility, class, dignity,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">self-respect, good-breeding and honor?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">On a general note one is constrained to ask: why are most Nigerian leaders<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">plagued with such a cowardly disposition and servile spirit? Why do they<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">compromise so often and why do they tremble before power?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">If Akpabio had issues with PDP that is fair enough. We all have issues<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">with the party in varying degrees.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Yet if he felt constrained to leave why can&#8217;t he join any of the other<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">numerous opposition parties? Why does he have to sell his soul to the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">devil and enter a Faustian pact with Buhari and the APC.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Why should he join the birds of prey to feed on the blood, flesh and guts<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of the Nigerian people?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The truth is that he has betrayed his people and joined forces with those<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that seek to enslave them simply in an attempt to secure freedom and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">goodwill for himself.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Is that what leaders are meant to do? Are they meant to give in to their<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">most morbid and irrational fears and collaborate with those that seek to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">destroy their nation, their people and their future?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Akpabio reminds me of the old African chiefs and traditional rulers that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">sold their own people into slavery to the white slave dealers in return<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for tiny crumbs and protection.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He reminds me of the black slaves that fought on the side of the southern<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">secessionist forces in the American civil war who attempted to preserve<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the institution of slavery.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He reminds me of the inglorious Scottish clans that turned their backs on<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Scotland&#8217;s heroic Bonny Prince Charlie and instead betrayed their people<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and fought on the side of the English oppressors to oppose Scottish<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">emancipation and liberation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He reminds me of everything that is unpleasant, servile, weak, ugly,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">uncouth, cowardly and dishonorable.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The fact of the mattee is that Akpabio deserves to be pitied. He is more<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">worthy of pathos than wrath because, like Judas Iscariot and those that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">betrayed and crucified Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, he &#8220;knows not<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">what he does&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Shakespeare wrote that &#8220;a coward dies a thousand times before his death,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">but the valiant taste of death but once.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Soyinka wrote that &#8220;the man died in him who remained silent before tyranny&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Akpabio has died a thousand deaths and the man has died in him.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Courage, risk and sacrifice are the fuel and engine room of the struggle<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for liberation. I would rather live as a free man for one day than live a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">thousand years as a coward and a slave.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">May God guide my friend and brother Godswill Akpabio and may He open his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">eyes and cause him to appreciate the folly of his own actions and the very<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">grave consequences of the monumental mistake he is about to make.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">May He remind him that the forces of darkness have nothing to offer but<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">death, sorrow, shame and destruction.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">May He remind him that no matter how dark the night, joy comes in the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">morning for those who have faith, who trust in the Lord and who stand firm<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">till the end.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">May He remind him that those that joined Adolf Hitler, even in his last<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">days, ended up dying with him.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Femi Fani-Kayode &#8220;You remain the father of the nation, our father and political father to all.
