I promised my Readers that I shall not close this series without addressing how NIGERIA HAS BECOME A COMMODITY FOR SALE under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu BAT, his chief accomplice in this larceny is the Senate President Rogue-Citizen Godswill Akpabio, and the Buyers are the President’s Friends and Partners The Chagoury’s.
BAT and the Chagoury’s have been friends and Partners since the Abacha days, don’ts forget that The Chagoury’s were Abacha’s accomplices in the looting of our collective patrimony. You can make your conjectures about why on earth BAT ran into exile under Abacha, was it a deal that went sour or truly to fight for democracy? With what BAT is doing to democracy, from his conquest and ownership of Lagos since 1999 to his attempt to conquer Nigeria and foist a ONE PARTY State over our polity, BAT is coming full cycle as Abacha’s True Friend, a Despot masquerading as a Democrat, and BAT is coming completely bare with convicted felons, international criminals and money launderers like the Chagoury’s as his best friends and Partners.
In fact BAT recently disrespected and impugned the Oath of Office he took as President by taking the Second Highest National Honour GCON usually reserved for the Vice President, the Senate President, the CJN et al to France as a birthday present to his friend and business partner Gilbert Chagoury, hasn’t greed, primitive accumulation and acquisition of wealth, and the quest for unbridled and unchallenged power left our President seriously challenged, is BAT losing it completely? When will BAT stop eating up himself and by Jove stop endangering our democracy?
To the core, since BAT became President in 2023, Gilbert Chagoury who was convicted in Switzerland for laundering Abacha’s loots have been ILLEGALLY awarded contracts in excess of $14 billion USD (that is over 18 Trillion naira) all without open bidding or competitive tender. BAT has approved and is funding the following Rogue Contracts awarded to his Friends and Partners…
- The Lagos-Calabar Highway.
- The Tin Can Port Rehabilitation.
- The Apapa Port Rehabilitation.
- The Snake Island Port.
- The Sokoto/Badagry Highway etc
All awarded without open tender or competitive bidding to his friends and Partners, and to Companies where he has manifest business relationship, don’t forget that the President’s son Seyi Tinubu sits on the Board of a Chagoury Group Subsidiary… Folks, from the opaqueness of the award of the biggest contracts in our history to his Partners, to the humongous foreign loans that Akpabio and the Rogue Senate approves with alacrity to fund the Rogue contracts, to the criminal silence of the legislature, Nigeria is indeed up FOR SALE TO BAT AND HIS FRIENDS… Greed and unbridled roguery will do you great harm BAT, Nigeria is far more complex than Lagos… And I pray you put a quick halt to the tragic missteps that underscore your Presidency.
On INEC, your insistence on Prof Joash Amupitan remaining as INEC Chairman, and superintending over the forthcoming 2027 General Elections will do you no good, already the credibility of the body and the integrity of INEC is in tatters. INEC is gaining questionable notoriety under your watch. Nobody except those standing on your blood soiled, blood soaked, blood stained, failure ridden, and pain riddled mandate think otherwise. They will not mind if you RIG yourself back to power through Amupitan like Mahmud Yakubu RIGGED you into power in 2023 and got rewarded with Ambassadorial posting… BUT be sure BAT that Nigerians emboldened by the painful failure of your watch shall matchlessly resist your shenanigans and Vote you out in 2027.
On the lies, debauchery and false propaganda that your Team told about the economy rebounding, haba!!! Mr. President who sacks a Performing Minister? If the former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Officer of the Economy was doing or had done a good job, why did you sack him? Assuming but not conceding to his having done well, did you sack him because he could not lie about the missing 34.44 Trillion naira under your government? BAT under your watch Nigeria has become a huge crime scene, a rogue enterprise, and a criminal turf headed by the most heartless and soulless gang of political operators ever to have come out of Nigeria. Your watch is a colossal shame, Sir.
On the CONTINOUS GIBBERISH THAT THE APC HAS NO HAND IN THE ORDEAL OF THE OPPOSITION PARTIES, please folks, forgive me for making this series longer than the first three, I cannot close this without asking citizen Felix Morka to STOP being delusional, no one prides in falsehood like he does, and it is ignoble to continue to do so. If Felix Morka has nothing logical to say, he should please shut up, Nigerians are no fools. From the troubles with Labour Party, to the problems with the PDP, and now the ADC, the APC, BAT, AKPABIO, WIKE and GBAJABIAMILA have not hidden the culpability of the APC, WIKE and the Judiciary in the many troubles of the opposition. The recent effort of the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to frustrate the ADC National Convention is common knowledge, the procurement of Nafiu Bala Gombe to unsettle the ADC weeks after he willingly resigned his position is common knowledge, the decision of the Rogue INEC Chairman Amupitan to murder the judicial meaning of Status Quo Ante-bellum by removing the David Mark led ADC from the INEC Portal is a clear case of ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’, and what about the fact that the Labour Party has seen relative peace since Peter Obi left the Party, does it not spell the aphorism ‘the witch cried last night and the child dies this morning’? Felix Morka, our conjectures are rock solid and rooted in the visible shenanigans of your Party… If you can, please tell BAT and the leaders of your Party that Nigeria is not Mobutu’s Zaire or Eyadema’s Togo, tell them that Nigeria and Nigerians shall resist every effort to foist a ONE PARTY State over us. It won’t work.
On Power. The Band A Roguery and the Perfidy of a Rogue Power Ministry and Power Companies Continues Under Your Watch BAT… I’m deliberately pungent in my choice of words because now is the time to frontally confront the madness that Nigeria has increasingly become.
All they told us about the number of hours of light that qualifies one as a Band A consumer and what actually obtains IS NOT ONLY CRIMINALLY FALSE but DEMONICALLY EXPLOITATIVE. Our Metres have been adjusted to run at Band A Billing and it doesn’t matter to them whether you have light 2 or 3 hours a day. Even more demonic and wicked is the fact that the Providers are manifestly in cahoots with the Power Ministry to exploit consumers, under the present watch everything, so very sad, everything is apparently Rogue… No one in this APC government cares about the people, and what bothers me sick is that for a mess of porridge some hapless victims of a grossly soulless administration think that this madness will continue unchecked BUT nothing can be further from the truth. Something will give, very surely, very truly and very certainly.
My next series shall be a kind appeal to the Waziri Adamawa, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku to PUT Countryfirst as we approach the Party Primaries in the march to producing the most credible alternative to the underwhelming and underperforming government of BAT. I’m a Believer in the Nigerian Project, and my commitment to a Nigeria that works for all is unalterable, it is that commitment that propels my writings, no matter how pungent they may sound, it is my love and passion for nation laid bare, I hate no one and I despise no one. It is COUNTRYFIRST, Folks.
To BAT, I pray earnestly that you stop eating up yourself, there is yet an opportunity to leave a legacy, concentrate on making the next one year one of service to nation, and take the Mandela option, there is clearly no need to stretch yourself and your luck any further, may God give you good friends who can tell you the whole TRUTH, Nigeria is greater than any gang and Nigeria shall outlive the present anomie. May God Bless Nigeria.
CONCLUDED.
