Our president
recently rewarded ex-militants with juicy positions in his government. It is so
shameful when criminals who plunged the nation into so much insecurity are
treated like kings. Could it be said that it’s because they belong to same
ethnic group with the president? Bigotry is forever present in the hearts our
present crop of rulers. Or how do you explain some sentences credited to
individuals in important and strategic positions in government?
The killing of
innocent Nigerians in the north isn’t a thing of joy but i feel more grief when
the number one citizen says the victims of the terror in the north are the
southerners. I wonder if such sentence is meant to unite Nigerians. The leadership
has failed to lead by example. I would ordinarily have expected the amnesty
programme to be disbanded and ministries such as Niger-delta ministry be
scrapped. Such ministry as well as NDDC indicates that Nigerian government favours
some ethnic group.
The leadership
and its lieutenants dip hands in public fund to score cheap
ethnic points amongst people of their ethnic origin. An example is the
donation by the central bank governor to victims of terrorism in his home
state. Later, after public outrage he donated to victims of terrorism in Madalla. I believe this is an afterthought and remedial action because of the public
outcry.
Ordinarily, I would have raised dust about the action of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi but whenever i look up at the leadership, all I see is someone helping
himself and his kinsmen and he doesn’t really care if his lieutenants do same
too.
A lot needs to be done in Nigeria. No matter how righteous one may be,
joining this government will taint such person’s righteousness. Sanusi lamido
Sanusi is a guilty as his boss and both of them deserve to resign their
position to save the integrity of the office they occupy.
