It has become difficult for the<br \/>\ncurrent opposition to articulate reasonable challenges to the present<br \/>\ngovernment&#8217;s policies without sounding base, childish and purposeless.<br \/>\nWhere you expect healthy flipsides to government policies and actions,<br \/>\nwhat you get is poorly articulated, dense and vacuous drivels, reeking<br \/>\nwith false facts, ill-mannered invectives, foul language and insults and<br \/>\nnothing more.<\/p>\n<p>It is easy to understand why the opposition is so disheveled and<br \/>\ntattered. Made of members and supporters of b party used power<br \/>\nprincipally as a tool for self aggrandizement and free loading, it is<br \/>\neasy to understand why, as an opposition in an era where such uncensored<br \/>\nliberty with the treasury is illegitimate, the country&#8217;s opposition and<br \/>\nhas resorted to vending bitterness and acrimony as opposition politics.<br \/>\nIt is easy then to understand why the opposition has resorted to free<br \/>\nbandying of fake news, Fabrications and silly stories as opposition<br \/>\npolitics when what is required of it is to robustly challenge the<br \/>\ngovernment with factual presentation; the fact that Lai Mohammed<br \/>\ndeployed as the spokesperson of the opposition to lead a fruitful revolt<br \/>\nand overthrow to a clueless and ultra corrupt ruling party in 2015<br \/>\nthereby making him an envied scourge fir the parody that today passes as<br \/>\nopposition in Nigeria as well as its rattled supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Again, with its history of salubrious feeding on the common wealth, the<br \/>\npresent opposition is lazy and bereft of the rigour required of real and<br \/>\ncompetent opposition. In such state, bandying wild, specious and<br \/>\noutlandish allegations it cannot give flesh to becomes its favorite<br \/>\npastime. Talking carelessly at the drop of a pin becomes strategy hence<br \/>\nthe opposition revel in ventilating fake news and ridiculously petty<br \/>\nfabrications to please the equally bitter and dense rabble it has as its<br \/>\nsupporters is the opposition&#8217;s chief article of trade.<\/p>\n<p>The low value of the present opposition is that it churns out very<br \/>\nmeaningless statements by the minute even as the\u00a0 ruling party and<br \/>\ngovernment take not even a scant glance at them, talk not of dignifying<br \/>\nthem with a response! In anger, its bleeding cahoots, still hurting<br \/>\nterribly from the loss of the freebies and pilfered rations that used to<br \/>\noil their sordid efforts before they were turned into unprepared<br \/>\nopposition in 2015, forge and vend fake, puerile and detestably false<br \/>\nnews like diarrhead patients and they little care that their cheap wares<br \/>\nannoy rather than tickle the populace.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the opposition exhumed and circulated an article the Media<br \/>\nAdviser to the President, Femi Adesina wrote in 2008 as a Columnist,<br \/>\nwhere he disagreed with then President Yar:adua&#8217;s appointment of the<br \/>\nnewly appointed Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari<br \/>\nas his peace envoy in the Niger Delta. Adesina&#8217;s ground for disagreeing<br \/>\nwith Gambari&#8217;s appointment was because Gambari had a favourable opinion<br \/>\nthat supported Abacha government&#8217;s role in the trial and execution of<br \/>\nKen Saro Wiwa.<\/p>\n<p>As a reverred Columnist and indeed the\u00a0 \u00a0Editor-in-chief of Sun<br \/>\nnewspapers then, Adesina was known not to hide his thoughts and feelings<br \/>\non any issue and one such issue was that he didn&#8217;t fancy Gambari as a<br \/>\npeace envoy to the Niger Delta, as proposed by Yar&#8217;adua based on where<br \/>\nhe stood on the Ogoni crisis. As a Columnist, he had his say but the<br \/>\nYar&#8217;adua government had its way and Gambari&#8217;s appointment stood.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Gambari has been appointed Chief of Staff to the same President<br \/>\nAdesina is spokesman to, so what the heck is in his 2008 article on<br \/>\nGambari&#8217;s appointment that so tickled the malevolence of the puerile<br \/>\nopposition that they exhumed and circulated it widely? What purpose do<br \/>\nthey wish to achieve by that very childish act? To provoke a war between<br \/>\nChief of Staff and Media Adviser? To instigate a fight in Buhari&#8217;s<br \/>\ngovernment? How asininely petty! How speciously childish!<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, it beggars the mind that we have an opposition that rarely<br \/>\nunderstands its mission and has turned habitual scarecrows and<br \/>\ntittle-tattlers when it is supposed to offer alternatives to issues. We<br \/>\nhave an opposition that is so seeped in childish irrelevance and which<br \/>\nembarrassingly ridicules itself with its preoccupation with inanities<br \/>\nthat rarely rewards its sense of pettiness.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, the opposition exhumes and shares an innocuous article by Femi<br \/>\nAdesina opposing the appointment of Gambari to a particular role in<br \/>\n2015? So what next? Gambari will start fighting with Adesina based on<br \/>\nthat and they will salivate and ululate in sadistic joy that they have<br \/>\nset Buhari&#8217;s government on fire? Poor childish folks they are. They have<br \/>\ndone worse in the past in their efforts to sow discord in Buhari&#8217;s<br \/>\ngovernment and still ended with unhealing wounds. How do they, in their<br \/>\nsmall minds, think a Gambari will get incited by such very professional<br \/>\nopinion by a Columnist doing what he had to do 12 years ago? So<br \/>\ndisgustingly small minded!<\/p>\n<p>One of the poignant features of the dysfunctional opposition we have in<br \/>\nNigeria today is that it is inflicted with bare reasoning. That is why<br \/>\nthe opposition is fixated on cooking conspiracy theories on the Buhari<br \/>\nregime which have all fallen flat. The appointment of Gambari himself<br \/>\nwas the last of such failures as the opposition and their cohorts were<br \/>\nhauling different conspiracy theories of who would get picked as<br \/>\nBuhari&#8217;s COS and forged dozens of names but never saw Gambari. In fact,<br \/>\nthe appointment of Gambari made arrant nonsense of their baloney of a<br \/>\ncabal that held Buhari hostage and from which they already annointed a<br \/>\nCOS for him before Gambari came in and reduced their ignorant guesses to<br \/>\ndust.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition has exhumed and marketed Adesina&#8217;s 2008 article against<br \/>\nGambari&#8217;s appointment as peace envoy to Niger Delta and so what? Gambari<br \/>\nwill never ever fight Adesina for that professional opinion. There will<br \/>\nbe no fight in Buhari&#8217;s government because of that. They will end in<br \/>\nbitter pains because Buhari&#8217;s government is not ruled by the kind of<br \/>\npuerility that encased their plot. The government will not be distracted<br \/>\nby that very childish and silly antic. There will be no letting on the<br \/>\nsame scorched earth policies that had turned the opposition into an<br \/>\nirrational mob. The PDP and its cohorts will still be as far from power<br \/>\nas they were in 2015. I am sure that Buhari, Adesina and Gambari will<br \/>\nlaugh over the hare-brained antics of the opposition in hauling out this<br \/>\narticle.<\/p>\n<p>But all said, Nigeria deserves a better opposition than this conclave of<br \/>\nbitter, irrational, childish scoundrels and humongous jesters fired by<br \/>\nacute bitterness than even the desire to raise their game beyond the<br \/>\nridiculous prattle we have seen in the past five years. An opposition<br \/>\nthat sees its acts from the gutter level of fabricating fake news,<br \/>\nspeaking irrationally, petty mischief, bitter recriminations, childish<br \/>\nthumping all over the space is a sad rebuke to any nation that is<br \/>\nunfortunate to be\u00a0 saddled with such an egregious burden.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Claver Oparah<\/p>\n<p>Ikeja, Lagos.<br \/>\nE-mail:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:peterclaver2000@yahoo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peterclaver2000@yahoo.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/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>Try as much as you can, you won&#8217;t place a finger on what the aim of the strange opposition that emerged in Nigeria in 2015 takes as its purpose.
