Of Course Obi Will Never Be Happy With Our Current Democracy by ShinnBet: 5:29pm On Jun 12 |
June 12 is being celebrated today in honour of one man, MKO Abiola who fought to the bitter end to have his mandate restored. Abiola never got his mandate back but his steadfastness towards retrieving his stolen mandate is why we are a democracy today. Characters like Obi who served under the military junta of Abacha who are now preaching to us on the ideals of democracy , were never in the struggle against military rule. Obi belongs to those Abacha courtiers who used their ill gotten wealth to run for political office during the transition to democracy by the Abdullsalam led interim military junta that succeeded Abacha following the latter's sudden death. Yes, Obi was scheming for political office as early as 1998. The only reason you never heard of him until he assumed office through judicial ruling was because he lost out to others in the primary stage. So it isn't surprising that someone like Obi will be at the forefront castigating our democracy and institutions like INEC and the judiciary that support it, for Obi only sees democracy as a means to political office , which as we all know by now, no matter the level of whitewashing, was a total disaster to the people and state of Anambra that had the misfortune of having Obi as a two term governor. To people like Obi and his band of misfit zealot followers, democracy is only working when them and their candidate is in power. You can see this with the way they celebrate mediocrity and defend the callous levels of corruption allegations coming out of Abia - the only lone LP state. The level of hypocritical propaganda deployed by the Obidient internet trolls for the ruling LP govt of Abia, will make some naive fellows assume that it is only Abia state government that is working. You must also be reminded that these same Obi fanatics were and are still clamouring for a truncation of our democracy all because their tribal candidate lost out to their arch rivals in the south. At no time has the fake democrat Obi ever called his followers to order especially during the height of the legal tussling at the Presidential Election Tribunal and at the Supreme Court. You will recall this was the peak period by the obidense mob demanding for military intervention when they saw that their Messiah had no case . As far as I am concerned Obi is a bitter sore loser and anything but a democrat. When he was governor of Anambra, Obi refused to conduct LG elections until his final year in office and he only did this after a supreme court ruling ordered him to do so. So if Obi's democracy day comments sounded full of bitterness and negativity towards our current democracy which he extended to both INEC and the judiciary, know that Obi was and never ever will be a democrat. 1 Like |

For a candidate that finished third in an election, still been talked about almost on a daily basis is actually rare. Why does he live rent free in most of u people's brain? The man is truly blessed. |

MidasTouch15: Obi is like the same named character in the Book One week , one trouble He is becoming more and more notorious by the day as a result of his careless statements he issues so as to remain in the public discuss and to keep his zealot supporters glued to him. But Obi forgets that Politics is not show business where all publicity is good publicity. |

Everyday you guys keep talking about and reminding whoever cares to try to listen to you,you keep talking about and attacking obi for serving under Abacha! But truth is,we wonder how on earth you same people campaigned for,saw nothing wrong in making Buhari,who served directly under Abacha as ptf chairman and who also truncated democracy in the early 1980s,you people saw nothing wrong in making him president for good 8 years!!!! We are very sure this expose will bring serious shame to you... otherwise can you please explain!? We will really appreciate an explanation @ shinnbet |
Re: Of Course Obi Will Never Be Happy With Our Current Democracy by ShinnBet: 6:26pm On Jun 12 |
Spybradd: I never ever supported Buhari . So try another angle. And how does it even exonerate Obi serving diligently under one of the most tyrannical and corrupt dictators to ever come out if Africa ? Obi has no single moral grain to castigate our current democracy because he never fought for it and like most civilian appointees in a military junta, would have been against those advocating for democracy during Abacha's reign of tyranny. |
