Questions people were supposed to ask:
So all Kachikwu alleges are true only because he thinks so?
Has Kachikwu actually said $26 billion
was stolen?
Has anybody,whether from the NNPC board or not,corroborated
anything Kachikwu said?
President Buhari’s pathetic leadership style
is fast shutting the doors of objectivity in the mind of the average Nigerian
and when the government can no longer do anything right, it automatically means
it has become the number one enemy of the very people that voted it in. Days
ago, a letter by the Minister of state and Chairman of the NNPC board, Dr. Ibe
Kachikwu to President Buhari was leaked to the press. In it, Kachikwu alleged
acts of gross insubordination and total disregard for due process by the Group
Managing Director of the NNPC, Maikanti Baru.
If giving a dog a bad name is the fastest way
to hang it, then Nigerians aren’t afraid to do that. Not that the President
didn’t already have a dog named after him any way. Never have i before seen
such blatant misinterpretation of the very explicit contents of a document. We
actually have more answers than we do questions.
Kachikwu blew the whistle on a $26 billion
theft
Buhari refused to see Kachikwu
when he reached out to him in person because he was shielding Baru
Buhari is conniving with Baru to
steal money
Happenings over the past few days, have given
an insight to the wonders of the human mind and how it can choose only what to
understand. Hal Roach once said “Every man should have a wife because there are
some things you can’t blame on the government”.
But nobody needs a wife with a President like
ours. In his Independence day address Buhari said he was disappointed in the
leaders of places where ‘hot-headed’ secessionist youths resided for not
calling them to order. Less than an hour later, the internet was agog with
stories of how Buhari was blaming the South Eastern leaders for the Biafran
agitation.
Facts as they really are:
1. Buhari didn’t specifically blame the Ibo
leaders. There have been approximately 3 agitations for separate states since
Buhari took over: IPOB for a Biafran state, Niger-Delta Avengers and others for
an Ijaw nation then a coalition of Yoruba groups for an Oodua nation.
2. Buhari may have said he was working with
the South-South leaders towards improving the region but the most ‘hot-headed’
agitation has come from the Niger Delta avengers who bombed a lot of our oil
installations.
3. In essence, Buhari was advocating for a
united nation and calling on leaders (elders) who witnessed the sad outcome of
the Civil war to educate youths on the possible implications of their actions.
Facts as they were understood:
1. Buhari was blaming Igbo leaders for Biafra
2. Buhari northern supremacist agenda will
never allow him want peace
3. Buhari meant to incite the South East with
his remarks
PMB helped justify agitations by promising to
favour those who voted him en masse ahead of those who didn’t in what has come
to be popularly known as the 97%-5% formula. He lived up to his words by not
appointing a single south easterner out of over 35 non-ministerial
appointments. As a matter of fact, Kachikwu, a seasoned veteran of the oil
sector, was removed as GMD of the NNPC for a northerner when criticisms of his
lopsided appointments were most vociferous.
Kanu’s bail was revoked and the army went to
get him while the FG never even bothered to as much as keep Nigerians updated
on its efforts to arrest and prosecute the Arewa quit notice issuers like it
promised. The ibo hate song singers were never arrested too. What is good for
Kanu isn’t for them. Why? Buhari doesn’t deserve justice too.
Kachikwu’s letter was written since August 30th and the
President neither deemed it wise to invite him nor agree to see him. A Maikanti
Baru probe should have been well under way. Buhari was practically dragged into
probing Babachir Lawal, his suspended SGF and perhaps it may never have
happened had optics not become vital when the DG NIA,a Jonathan appointee had
reason to be probed as well. The report of that committee we may never see.
Baru was in the clear till the Kachikwu letter leaked.
So yes, one need not alter or shut out any
fact with regards to the President fighting a hypocritical war on corruption.
Nigerians are simply tired of the
suffering,the lies,the incompetence,the favouritism and the hypocrisy.Nigerians
are tired of Buhari. He is deservedly guilty until proven innocent.
