With 2019 presidential elections less than six months, political gladiators, players and political 'endorsers' are seriously engaging and brainstorming for their own selfish interests and personal gains and not for the benefit of any electorate or masses at large. Mainly, the guilty ones are in APC and PDP and some individuals in various new political parties particularly former members of PDP and APC.
OBJ, Mr 'endorser' and Atiku, his erstwhile deputy have finally settled their misunderstanding regarding financial malfeasance on the part of Atiku all in the name of so called national interest.
So what happened within last two weeks that made OBJ changed his mind. Does it mean Atiku is no longer guilty of all those itemized criminal offences committed by Atiku including the one that put a sitting US senator behind bar and has Atiku himself declared persona no grata to the State.
1979 : Shagari
Going back to 1979. OBJ supported and handover the mantle of leadership to unknown and unprepared Shagari in the interest of covering up Nigerian military government atrocities spanning over some years. One of the cardinal programme of Shagari's regime was green revolution which turned out to become Shagari farm just like OBJ's operation feed nation now known as Obasanjo farm. Finally, shagari's government was cut short by Buhari, IBB and others because of deep-rooted corruption and non-performance.
Overall verdict : Failure
2003 : Obasanjo
For good eight years, OBJ criminally violated the constitution by turning himself to minister of petroleum and committed lot of financial atrocities including various failed projects on rail and power. The level of corruption was imaginable because of the financial resources squandered and looted through rail and power projects by his cronies. His biggest financial scam was third term agenda that was brought down by patriotic Nigerians. Again because he loves having weak and person with no capability as successor he installed Yaradua in 2007 out of better qualified presidential aspirants. He initiated some programmes that failed to produce desired result because of his undoing and political intervention e, g EFCC. He single handedly massacred a whole town because of six soldiers that were killed. You remember Odi and Zaki-Biam. Political thuggery and killing was on rampage. He has the medal for the most violator and abuser of human rights. For the period of civilian government, his only challenger in the contest of human rights abuse is Buhari.
OBJ is not a trusted fellow just like Atiku. The level of poverty in the country sky-rocketed during his regime.
Overall verdict : Failure
2007 : Yardua
He came to power through unprecedented electoral fraud perpetrated and spearheaded by your one and only OBJ. He came up with one unachievable seven point agenda. Because of his failed health and sickness a cabal system that was well pronounced in the land took over the day to day running of the government. Eventually, he died in office. This paved way for his second in command (Jonathan) to take over. Suffering and smiling was the order of the day among masses during this regime.
Overall Verdict : Failure
2011 : Jonathan
The most the weakest president in Nigeria history despite his education. He came on board with some 'cosmetic initiatives' including transformation agenda that has no direct on the masses. The scale and level of political bribery was unprecedented during his short stay. There was massive looting and stealing like never before to the extent that a road side pepper seller will become a billionaire once you have a bank account because someone somewhere in his government will link up with you through a third party and deposited stolen money in your accounts. The 'give no attention' attitude of government to historical infrastructure decay in the country continues during his period. Masses are still eating from hand-to-mouth. He had the best ''organized corruption bazaar'' after Babangida.
Overall Verdict : Failure
2015 : Buhari
He was the hope of the masses in year 2014. But today he has become a burden on the masses. He lacks political will to drive the country forward. The incessant killing and wanton destruction of properties going on across the land are alarming and disturbing. Insecurity and corruption are still order of the day. Even his so called kitchen cabinet members are part of the most corrupt people. He has this stupid body language that tend towards procrastination. Can you imagine attitude like this in the heat of massive killing by boko haram and Fulani herdsmen and other insecurity across the land including kidnapping. He won one of the best promise and fail politician award. He lacks clarity of purpose. His Integrity proclamation was just a ruse.
Overall verdict : Failure
2019 : Atiku
This is the new presidential bride in town OBJ is rooting for. He is somebody with questionable source of wealth. Like many of his contemporaries, he will continue to cover his dubious source of wealth and claiming 'holiness' to some gullible Nigerians. He lacks integrity and honesty according to OBJ and available information. He supervised privatization agenda during OBJ's regime and cornered most business interest to himself at the expense of Nigerians and tax payers. He is a dubious character according to OBJ, one of the reasons he was denied the privilege of succeeding OBJ.
He is a desperate presidential candidate just like Buhari. He had attempted to become president during many elections cycle including the one of 1992. There is no crime when you are ambitious in life but it becomes a risk and dangerous to the society when you are desperate like in his own case and Buhari.
Why ?
Crocodile tears !!!
Both of them fake wailing and crying in public to seek public sympathy and votes.
We are currently paying for Buhari's own.
Part of his desperate agenda is restructuring of the country, is a political gimmick to win election. He has an outstanding criminal case in US, he was even banned from entering that country since 2007. He has linked with criminal Italian business men. All these and more information are available on-line. A click of Atiku's financial crime and shady business dealings on the net will come up with loads of information.
OBJ's verdict on Atiku : Atiku can not be trusted. And OBJ will never support him for anything because GOD will not forgive him if he does.
Warning !!! Never entrust him with tax payers money and Nigeria's treasury. Moreso he promised to continue on OBJ' s anti-masses and deadly agenda and polices. Another challenge facing him is anti-corruption war, he dares not fight corruption scourge killing our country because of his pro-corruption life style.
Overall verdict : Failure-in-waiting
Conclusion :
Because our country is a place of the more you look the less you see so don't be surprised if you see some so called 'respectable people' backing him. They are all looking for relevance and what to eat. Just last week some people including Pastor Oyedepo, Pa Adebanjo, Shiek Gumi, went him to meet his former boss, OBJ. They claimed that they have gone to settled disagreement between two estranged politicians.
In addition, majority of these so called respectable people are anti-masses.
Nigeria is a country where person of integrity and honesty can not stand the test of time. The most popular honesty and pro masses person in the whole Nigeria that stand the test of time is GANI, may his soul continue to rest in peace.
As majority of Nigerian print media and press are creating impression that Nigerians are the mercy of two failed political parties and presidential candidates, if eligible voters and 180 millions Nigerians refuse to look beyond these two tested and failed candidates and check out the other 22 presidential candidates and their parties as alternative they will become 180 millions mumu under a 'locked down' country for another four years.
These failures highlighted above have one thing in common, none of them is competent for the job. They lack what it takes to pull majority of poor people out of poverty.
So buyers/voters beware of dubious ' I dey kampe' seller and his product 'no shaking'. Nigerians, act wisely now and don't become wailers after May 2019. This is the right time to use your voting power to Nigeria from becoming projected world headquarter of poverty with the highest of poor people come 2050. - Irunmole-nla
