Politics / Re: Nuhu Ribadu: Nigeria’s Next Obama? by cudababa: 2:54am On Aug 11, 2009
Sunami,
I think you are entitled to your own opinions as am i!! My opinion of Ribadu is one of lost opportunity and he is being hounded because he allowed himself to be used as OBJ;s whipping boy and now OBJ is no more in power.
He chased Adenuga out of Nigeria not because Adenuga was a filthy politician but because Adenuga was funding opposition to his master's third term plan. He went after Alameseigha not because he was filthy (which he was) but because the man was one of the governors that nearly frustrated his master's second term comeback, the list goes on and on!!Is that anti=corruption? looks like grand standing from my own view point
He who comes to equity must come to it with clean hands. Once your hands get soiled, they are soiled. Wether he stole money or not is irrelevant. He was used to perpetuate a lie and thus is a liar himself, Nothing he says or does can change that!! I for one will stand in the hot sun to vote against him

Lets not digress from the issues!! Obama and Ribadu are nothing alike. thats one!! secondly this topic is on Ribadu and not waziri,
The facts
Ribadu was able to pursue anti-corruption cases against sitting governors and people in the corridors of power, yes we all agree
Was he a tool in the hands of Obasanjo? yes we all agree too!! His claims of having clean hands thus becomes a moot point. He was used a whip to make all enemies of obasanjo both real and percieved to fall in line.
He released a list of corrupt politicians and the famous ones in the lot i.e Ibori's and Igbinedion's were not even mentioned!!! The list contained only the people deemed corrupt by our corrupt OBJ!!! and yet Nigerians hero worship him like Obama? Please?
If anybody should aspire to the post of President. its not by flagrant disregard for laws and due process but by leaders that have engaged the populace and brought about real change that we can see, touch and feel.
If anyone should have our vote for president then it should be Fashola cos we have seen a crazy city Lagos gradually getting a sense of civility, not by the whip or cane but by appealing to the better nature of the citizenry
Ribadu should hold his head in shame for the opportunity he had and lost to foerver write his name in Gold in Nigeria, he could have even indicted OBJ and then ran away, at least we the people would know the truth but he choose to side with villany and is complaining when its his turn to be butt whipped. he can never win an election in Nigeria, even if it were not rigged
