SUDDENLY GOD WAS NAKED IN EKITI

Could it be said that it is all over in the struggle to ostracize impunity from our society and prevent political terrorists from imposing their unpopular will and mislead people by their tainted conscience (if there is any)? The Ekiti case is suffix to make assertions. If we could not win the war against political fraud and corruption in just 10 local governments of a State, I am worried or how do we triumph over corruption syndrome in the 774 local governments that make up the Nigeria entity? Just an avoidable step of an electoral umpire cost us to lose the mini war. It becomes more spine-tingling when recourse is made to the claim of the umpire who brilliantly misled the country and the global community by her womanly posture and feministic style of letter writing. No wonder she initially won the heart of the country but unfortunately thereafter, she lost the heart of the country by hiring her conscience out (I don’t want to say ‘selling her conscience out’, she might repent and confess one day) to the ‘almighty’ Professor of political fraud and electoral corruption who is ‘too’ weighty to be permanently lifted off his appointment seat by even the Grand Commander of the country. I think he is also enjoying immunity even if our constitution does not give him. But do not forget that he has his own constitution which explicitly shields him from the hands of his enemies (the progressive ones). Section 2(a) of Iwu Personal Constitution, 2007 states that: “In accordance with the do-or-die platform (soon to be transformed to die-and-let-us-live) on which I am commissioned to serve my depraved fatherland, I stand to enjoy immunity against all forms of antagonism from 2007 up to another 60 years, the period through which my political party will reign supreme. I am hereby commissioned to continually rig elections and go scot-free starting from 2007 up to 60 years time and in the case of my death before the completion of the assignment, my anointed cohort will take up the challenge”. What then shall we say of a woman whose conscience suddenly flew her? She would have become another Condoleezza Rice but for her ‘fraud-filled Christian conscience’ purportedly tied to God (as if God is dead). In more decent societies, she would have been a guest of the law enforcement agencies (are they not corrupt in Nigeria?) that would be interested in knowing those who wanted her to subvert the people’s will. Frankly speaking, I hate to think that she was compromised. Or was she? If she was, then the all-time shameless Professor of electoral fraud would surely be involved. To this end, rebranding Nigeria should be aggressively geared towards Nigerians conscience rather than engaging in a fruitlessly inconsequential SMS-powered rebranding jamboree championed by the once celebrated Amazon Professor whose profile (garnished by her accomplishment in NAFDAC) is about to be stained by her current futile initiative. Or why should she want to paint us white to the outside community while we are black? And it is against logical reasoning to venture into marketing promotions of an unmarketable product. Or what would you say of a country where the truth is far away from people’s mouths, where corruption reign supreme, where people’s votes no longer count, where people lie against their conscience under duress, where the chief electoral man is conscience-less, where the president is slow at implementation, where people are law unto themselves, where politicians want to become political Methuselah and where political office holders want to stay in office forever (as if death is dead)? Funnily when the apostle of ‘Christian conscience’ resigned, the Rebranding Minister, oh..sorry..Information Minister was restless (almost crying) arguing that the resignation was a dent on her rebranding project. What an argument by a “Professor”! Instead of hijacking the opportunities offered by Ekiti debacle to foster her rebranding campaign, she allowed the opportunity to slip by and was busy dancing in the cloud with Mr. Rule of Law, the occupant of Aso Rock. “I will allow rule of law to prevail,” Mr. Slow chorused. But this is a goebellian propaganda that will soon boomerang. Where is rule of law in Ekiti where the court ought to have pronounced the winner based on valid votes rather than calling for a rerun in places where electoral fraud took place? Where is rule of law in Osun, where the court ordered retrial instead of declaring the outright winner? What is happening in Ekiti is apartheid in another dimension. It is case where Nigerians are enslaving Nigerians. Could there be rule of law in this kind of situation? Or could there be rule of law where the Inspector General of Police (IGP) is a law unto himself? But before Mr. IGP waxes lyrical in his grim comedy as he showcased in Ekiti case, he must remember the fate of the likes of Sunday Adewusi (1983), Tafa Balogun (2003) and Sunday Ehindero (2007). For clarification, I am not a member of any political party but I belong to the progressive class that believes in true federalism, liberalized democracy with social equity and justice as the bedrock of the political structure. What happened in the ‘Fountain of Knowledge’ was a clear pointer to the fact that the people of Ekiti were robbed naked. Since the voice of people is the voice of God, then God was also robbed naked in Ekiti. But believe me, it is written in the holy books, you cannot rob God and escape with it. Surely with time, nemesis will catch up with the evil doers!
