On the 14th of April 2014, Hundreds of lives were claimed at the twin bomb blast that occured at the Nyanya motor park bus station. The international community joined us in comdenming the devilish act and called for a purposeful and responsible leadership from the then president.
In what was seen as a wicked act and lack of respect for human right, was the decision of the then president to visit and dance at the kick-off of his re-election bid in Kano and later proceeded to Oyo state to felicitate with the Alaafin Oyo on his birthday. We felt insulted and reduced to nothing when the supposedly father of the nation who was supposed to give us maximum security went ahead to dance on the grave of his own children. The consequence of his wicked act gave birth to our overwhelming decision to give him a red card like a refree would do to an unforgiveably erring player. We vowed to send him back to Otueke with our votes because we felt we had been wickedly dealt with. Yes, not all believed in the other contestants during the last general election but we stood our ground that we wanted someone who could guarantee us a secured society. We knew we needed a safe country, a responsible leader with a passion for the Nigerian project. We knew the nation needed a captain who will sail the boat of the nation with great deftness in all sincerity. Even though GMB never possessed all these attributes, we trusted him with our votes and opted for him..we knew his antecedent but we expected a new version of him - a miracle perhaps. I haven't really come out to say much about the static motion of this present administration because I feel it is too early to judge and nothing good comes easy as they say. But the recent news I heard about the Dalori community killings in Borno nailed it for me. Alarmingly over 100 people were killed and several injured! Human flesh were scattered all around the community like litters and the whole community was brought down to its bloody kneel by the boko haram.The president who was entrusted with the responsibilities to protect the nation's citizenry was at the African Union meeting in Ethiopia. The most annoying part is that rather than the president jetting to Borno state to console and reassure the people on his commitment to bringing insurgency to an halt and making the nation feel assured of his effort, the president jetted to Ogun state to celebrate the state's 40th anniversary while one needs to remind the president that these two states were created the same day 3rd of Feb 1976. Ironically, while one is celebrating, the other is mourning ,while one is commissioning laudable projects, the other is opening more internally displaced camps (IDP)..even the bible says it is better to go to where they are mourning than go to where they are celebrating Ecc: 7:2"..this is simply about love for humanity. However, I congratulate the people of Ogun state for having so much to show for the state's 40 years of existence, although my heart bleeds profusely that the father of the nation preferred to go celebrate than commiserate with the ones mourning.
It hurts to see that the president is doing what we voted GEJ out for. This ungodly act is so unfair to the Borno people who despite their condition massively voted for him with the hope that he will bring succour to their sufferings even though he never went there to campaign.
Baba please remember that our voters card is still very available and we will not rest until our nation gets the best.
Long live the president,
Long live Nigeria!
