Fayose should not make this protest look like a paid one, though as a Nigerian it's his choice to partake of it but sadly lots of People will view it from the political angle of it . .. This clueless government shouldn't be given any reason to see this protest as a sponsored protest like they are trying their best possible to make it look like |

Politics / Re: Twenty Young Nigerians Who Helped General Buhari Become President Buhari In 2015 by nlsmd: 8:47am On Feb 01, 2017 |
three: [s] Yemi Adamolekun Is the Executive Director of Enough-is-Enough a coalition of Civil Society Groups formed in response to the perceived corruption and policy inconsistencies presented by the GEJ government in response to the removal of Fuel Subsidies and fuel price increase. They state their charter as 'EnoughisEnough Nigeria (EiE) is a coalition of individuals and organizations committed to instituting a culture of good governance and public accountability in Nigeria through active citizenship. We are non-partisan, neither are we a platform for the actualization of any individual’s political ambitions'. Yemi maintained a profile as a dogged anti-corruption activist throughout the government of GEJ. Interestingly and arguably Enough-is-Enough appears to have had enough as they are thoroughly lacking in the same gusto with which they pursued accountabilty under the previous governement. Almost lurching into oblivion they came back into recent reckoning with the controversy surrounding the nomination of self styled celebrity 'Bobrisky' as a panelist on one of their social media sensitization seminars.
Babatunde Rosanwo Online Twitter intellectual, whose missives served to highlight the plain stupidities of the GEJ government and the potential gains of a Buhari government. Rosanwo campaigned actively for PMB offering 'storified' 'fact checks' in support of his principal, not surprising as Rosanwo in 2014 had already began laying foundations for the justification and viability of the APC as a megaparty, as such he was arguably an 'early adopter' which may be why He raised dust in a lenghthy online rejoinder over Jude Chideonwo and Adebola William's alleged proclivity for profit over 'principles' when they switched sides from doing Public Relations business with GEJ to the PMB Campaign organisation.
Olusegun Dada For someone who was at a loss as to the inferred legitimacy of the 2011 Jonathan bid for the presidency by many in spite of the antecedents, actions and inactions of GEJ, his unabashed support for the person and candidature of GMB/PMB smacks of a concentrated dose of selective amnesia. It is also interesting to note that his observations with regard to what the previus governmemnt did or did not do with regard to the Fuel subsidy issue apply to the current government viz high cost of fuel, insecurity, opacity in governance, corruption in high places and the burgeoning debt profile and so on. Nothing, it appears has fundamentally changed. Olusegun's gift of the gab was utilised to spur the younger generation to political action and garner support for GMB/PMB having been a registered member of the CPC the party under which PMB launched his 2011 bid for the presidency. Olusegun's resolve to actively participate in the politics cannot be faulted, however the choice of principal remains to be justified.
Lola Shoneyin An avid Buharist whose father incidentally was incarcerated by PMB (incidentally, Shoneyin senior is an active senior member of the APC), Lola Shoneyin sought to justify GMB/PMB's candidature at every turn. The writer and poet put pen to paper and 'gifted' the world with the article titled 'How my Father's jailer can offer Nigeria a fresh start' published by Guardian UK and made for a fitting romantic narrative of GMB's turtous and self sacrificial quest to attain the presidency and lead Nigeria out of the current (then) quagmire. There is yet some irony in the title of the afore mentioned article as Shoneyin, a writer would be familiar with the use and import of words - 'offer' retains a weighty sense of entitlement but never mind. She travelled with the Presidential Campaign having been embedded for just over three months and from that experience surmised that Nigeria cannot afford to be handled with kid gloves hence the need for someone who supposedly personified anti-corruption. A thought which hints dangerously at the manifestaion of Stockholm Syndrome. It turns out that the 'anything but Jonathan' mentality birthed a blinkered army of possibly well meaning and often priviledged 'youths' for whom emotion overwhelmed reason.
Tola Sarumi The London, England based social commentator offered constructive critiscisms of the GEJ conundrum and subsequently amped up the volume with offers of the positive prospects of an alternative government headed by PMB, incidentally the debate on the veracity of issues raised and the points offered in defense by Ms. Sarumi have since been eclipsed by recent events in an almost classic case of "I told you so". Ms. Sarumi was quite vociferous via her online outings in pointing out the ineptitude of the GEJ government, regaling her readers with the arrogance, impunity and 'silent traetment' on key National issues which had become the hallmark of the GEJ administration. Between intermittent bursts of objectivity she marshalled her reasons why even with his downsides General Buhari's unassailable integrity was the much needed antidote to Nigeria's maladminstration, a 'cure all' or 'gbogbo-ise' if you will. Her penchant for stirring up debates lent her the 'international exposure' tag after tweeting recently that Nigerian's in the abroad (or diaspora) are better placed to offer solutions to Nigeria's many woes and 'take charge' having lived in a 'working sytstem' stating that 'international exposure' is a prerequisite. Beyond there appears to be no evidence that Ms. Sarumi has been as critical of the current administration as the past one and one only wonders why?
Feyi Fawehinmi Known to many as 'doubleph', Feyi Fawehinmi turned on the taps with a series of articles in the mold of a 'Global and National Economics for Dummies' volume. He made previously complicated topics easily understandeable helping to break down previously unheard or misunderstood terminologies that were the preserve of bespectacled university dons. Mr. Fawehinmi wrote about the rebasing of the economy via GDP indices, the deregulation of the oil and gas sector the new mortgage policy and covered several topical issues in many more articles featured on his blog aguntasolo.com. Mr. Fawehinmi's knack for distilling the key issues from the usual ambiguity surrounding government policy lent him several references and features on main stream media, having provided a 'man on the street' braekdown of the (mostly negative) consequences of the GEJ led administrations policy direction . Mr. Fawehinmi however took deep offence on the 'youth' involvement in the organisation and handling of the 'Lunch with Jonathan' event oragnised by Messrs Debola Williams and Chude Jideonwo, his primary grouse being the alleged sharing of money to participants and the opacity with which the whole event was prepared.
Cheta Nwanze From Daily Times to 234next to being one time managing editor of Y-magazine (of the Y-Naija, Red Media organisation) a staple feature on omojuwa.com Cheta Nwanze or Chxta as his twitter handle suggests has always been at the forefront of digital media combined with intellect and wit Mr. Nwanze has lived on the edge of bucking trends and pushing for revolutions however subtle, he joined the ranks of the online and somewhat offline opposition and 'youth voice' in the previous administration via his being a founding member of the 'Enough is Enough' platform along with Gbenga Sesan, Chude Jideonwo and Adebola Williams even lending his 'voice' to the '100kVoices' campaign organised by the Kola Oyeniyin founded GenVoices. His recent writings suggest a hankering for 'President Osinbajo' amongst a flurry of remonstrations on the deceitfulness, inadequacies, ineptitude and so-called northenisation of the current government. In one article Mr. Nwanze was bold enough to assert that the previous government was better than the current one. Why then was he so convinced that PMB was the answer and not anyone else other than PMB?GEJ? For someone who hosts a 'history class' column it appears he hasn't quite learned from the past.
Omoyele Sowore This dogged self styled citizen reporter and activist has cut a profile as a controversial whistle blower who sometimes allys with his prior targets to bring down new targets as showcased in the El Rufai / Sanusi saga where the GEJ government allegedly attempted fairly succesfully to unseat the CBN governor. Mr El Rufai and Sanusi had been previous targets but were now allies in reporting the story blow-by-blow. It is also curious that Mr. Sowore has since turned the tap off on reportage of public officials previously covered who are now operatives under the current government eg Fashola (Illegal leasing of LASG helicopter to Caverton) and Amaechi (Controversial Port Harcourt Mono Rail).
