The audio
recording by one captain Sagir Koli of the Nigerian Army that went viral on how
officials of the PDP and the government used the army to rig the 2014 Ekiti
state gubernatorial election and the interview granted Sahara Reporters by the same Army officer, made clear to me the
fixation of Ayodele Fayose with General Muhammadu Buhari. Fayose was the beneficiary of the rigging
scheme which sent Kayode Fayemi out of the Ekiti government house and he is
scared of what will happen to him in the event Buhari wins the rescheduled 2015
presidential election. He would rather
General Buhari die before March 28th than see a Buhari presidency
with him possibly ending in jail. This
is because the revelations in the tape are tantamount to a military coup
against Fayemi and the Ekiti people. The
coup was carried out using the Army led by a Brigadier General and orchestrated
by two Ministers of the Federal Republic.
General Muhammadu
Buhari is in the UK right now engaged in a working visit, meeting with British
politicians, policy makers and captains of industry with a view to selling
himself and his programmes. He may also use the opportunity to show the English
that he is not the ogre the PDP is making him out to be. Almost everybody who happened to be at the
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport saw the General queuing up to join the
British Airways yet Fayose still insists that Buhari was flown out in an air
ambulance. How morbid can some people be
in their desperation? How can someone be
so fixated with another’s state of health to the extent that one could be this
reckless? What transgression have the
people of Ekiti committed to deserve this monster as their governor?
Fayose have a
history of rascality and that may be responsible for his impeachment during his
first incarnation as the governor of Ekiti state. He also had a murder case hanging on his neck
before the PDP exhumed him from his political Siberia and imposed him on the
good people of the state just so that the PDP will have its way in the
forthcoming elections. The confessions
of the Army captain and the admission by some of the participants to the
treasonable meeting that returned Fayose as governor means little to the
president and his party because the people are of no concern to them. If the president really care about the people
of Ekiti state in particular and Nigeria in general as he claimed, Fayose should
be in jail by now, with Jelili Adesiyan, the Minister of Police Affairs and
Musiliu Obanikoro, erstwhile Minister of State, Defence, keeping him company in
the dungeons. But in the president’s
usual ways of “not giving a damn” about you and me, he dismissed the recording
with a wave of his magisterial hand.
While Adesiyan remains a member of Jonathan’s cabinet, Obanikoro is
nominated to the same cabinet in complete disregard to the outcry in respect to
the roles they played in the Ekiti elections.
Fayose is a
violent man and desperate man at that.
This is a man who violated the sanctity of a courtroom by invading the
court while in session with hoodlums and slapped a judge and nothing happened
to him. If such a man has consistently
being talking about death of the presidential candidate of the APC and the
party kept quiet, then something must be wrong.
In his desperation to see Buhari dead, it has been reported that he has
followed the General to the UK for only God knows what. It was also earlier reported that Fayose
hired some people in London to trail Buhari wherever he goes and it wasn’t
denied. Yet the APC is taking all this
lying low. Am I missing something? When
a man of such violent tendencies threatens my chicken, I will make sure he will
never sleep again. Has he been
consulting babalawos who assured him Buhari will die of a sickness to be cast
on him by them or what?
The consistency
and stridency in the claims of Buhari’s illness should not be taken lightly by
the APC. In the event any harm befalls
him we know who to hold responsible. If
the president is chicken to act on such nonsense, Nigerians have to be prepared
to defend their integrity and safety when those in authority decides to play
God over our affairs. We have seen how
all those around the president have been threatening the corporate existence of
the country without any of them being dragged to the office of the Department
of Sleaze and Scoundrels (DSS). The
difference between Asari Dokubo, Tompolo and Fayose is that where the Niger
Delta oil thieves have been threatening the country in the event Jonathan lost
the election, Fayose have been threatening Buhari’s personal safety and
existence. Am wary of a man who still
has a case of murder hanging over him making such statements and even made it a
vocation to trail the man he believed should throw him in jail.
Fayose keeps
repeating that the Buhari will never be the president of Nigeria and he says
this with a certainty of someone on terra firma. What is giving Fayose this level of
confidence that Buhari will never be the president of this country? Is it any fetish assurance he is relying on
or is it going to be another snivelling Brigadier he will use to stop
Buhari? I think Nigerians should ask him
these questions and his fixation with Buhari’s health status. The media must put him on the spot to lay
bare his sources of confidence on the APC candidate’s health condition and not
just follow him around sheepishly lapping all the nonsense he dishes out to
them. Last time I checked he wasn’t
Buhari’s Doctor.
The likes of
Fayose have gradually weakened the unity of the country because of their
deliberate insensitiveness. The man and
the characters that populate Jonathan’s administration and campaign team are
jeopardising the unity of the country to the applause of the president and to
the chagrin of patriots. If we allow
them to continue tugging at our fault lines, then we deserve them.
