Gej Might Not Be What We Think By Garvey Ufot by ADUBA1(m): 4:43pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
AKIN OSUNTOKUN:THANK YOU, SIR, THE TRUTH SHALL SURELY PREVAIL! On President Jonathan: 'I am a supporter of Jonathan which means that I don't agree substantially with the position Obasanjo has taken. It is not that I believe that Jonathan is the best that has happened to Nigeria. It is not that by any stretch of the imagination I think that he should not be criticised. I have no objection to that. Mine is this.... In the past two, three weeks I have been asking myself, what really is the problem that critics cannot see anything good in this man? I travelled by road from Abuja to Lagos and saw evidence of his works all over, and yet some people are saying he has done nothing. The railways are there. Go to agriculture and see what he has done there. It really worries me. Some of these things are so contrary to logic. By temperament and training, I believe in fairness and balance. People exaggerate the shortcomings of the President. Nigeria got the best rating from Transparency International(TI) since, I think, they have been rating Nigeria. This year, TI said 37 countries are more corrupt than Nigeria. Before, Nigeria used to be either the most corrupt or the second or third. What is it that they have seen that we are yet to see? They are not partisan. They have no obligation to be. They have more access to the information they use to evaluate a country. This is why I say people should pause and reflect. A man has to speak for himself anyway. Maybe they are not doing a lot of that. But, I see a lot of intimidation, stampeding the President all over the place.... If Jonathan is from any of this majority group, WAZOBIA, he will be less vulnerable to this kind of political intimidation. And one of the reasons I stand up for him is that I don't like intimidation'. On Muhammadu Buhari: 'This is my personal problem with people like Buhari. They will say something and not want to be judged by it.... He championed the destabilization and subversion of Obasanjo's government, because Obasanjo probed PTF and he was invited to clarify issues that did not bear out the reputation of integrity. And he then exploited the issue of Shari'a to instigate division and incite rebellion against Obasanjo. And here lies my fundamental objection against his aspiration -- that anybody who uses the instrumentality of division and polarising the people of this country should not be rewarded with the Presidency of Nigeria. Until a year ago what was he saying about Boko Haram? He said when the Niger Delta militants did their own, they rehabilitated them, sent them to schools abroad, this and that, but when it came to Boko Haram in the North, they are burning their houses and killing them(Boko Haram sect), and for that, it is an injustice to the North. This was what this man said, just barely a year ago. And Nigerians tend to have short attention span and are given to wilful ignorance. The impression I have gathered in some of my write ups on him is that some people don't want to know the truth...' -Chief Akin Osuntokun(political adviser to former President Obasanjo in 'Sunday Vanguard' pp.12-13) Thank you so very much, Chief Osuntokun. No one, I repeat, no one will ever be able to bury the truth. I know that only a passionate drive for truth telling would have compelled you, an associate and staunch supporter of Olusegun Obasanjo (Jonathan's number one enemy at present), to make this courageous statement. This statement is, in all respects, similar to the factual contentions in my recent essays on Obasanjo. Truth to some is an offence, but rest assured, sir, and I am supremely confident, that God Almighty must, in due time, defeat ALL the builders and promoters of the Buhari enterprise of falsehood, amnesia, bloodshed and brigandage, and cause a triumphalist vindication of Dr Goodluck Jonathan. I swear, it is just a matter of time. |

I am still suprised how Nigerians are this gullible! The worst thing that will happen to Nigeria is a Buhari Presidency. |
