. Just like the confessions and revelations of witches that have drunk the blood of a victim whose head does not agree with witchcraft practice, there have been self-confessed revelations ranging from election rigging, as credited to Ibrahim Mantu and the looting spree of the shameless politicians who claimed they were elected into public offices. Alhaji Ibrahim Mantu had said it all. Elections in Nigeria are basically manipulations, thuggery and political witchcraft. Last week, the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed reeled out some names of treasury looters in Nigeria who stole from the National Treasury in different ranges and denominations. He, first of all, gave out some few names like the conventional Choir who first sings chants before the rendition of the main song. A week later, he reeled out twenty-three other names who also are in the Looters Club. The names given were the names of Nigerian politicians. They were all from the opposition PDP. This week, Reno Omokri, feeling embittered that the thieving and the roguery is not a matter of the PDP alone, 'submitted' his own list of the treasury looters of the APC. He said it is like a preamble to what is to come depending on the reaction of his co-contestant, Lai Mohammed of the APC.
Nigerians must not be deceived by these politicians and their affiliates. They settle themselves in their nocturnal meetings where the barrier of political differences is consciously and deliberately pulled down. There is no political party in Nigeria. All we have is an Association of Treasury Looters in different political guises. The PDP and the APC and other political parties are of same political colouration with non-existent ideologies. These Mohammeds and Omokris thought they are doing a good job by these dirty public revelations of stealing of the commonwealth.They are only telling Nigerians that the political class in Nigeria is grossly irresponsible and undependable.
I read that the former Deputy to Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, Mrs. Fatima Raji Rasaki has decamped to General Obasanjo's SDP, the Third Force to 'seize' power from the APC come 2019. The defector was of the PDP and one of the converts of the former Army General, Olusegun Obasanjo. Decamping does not change the minds of stealing by politicians. If a soldier pulls off his uniform and he is on mufti, that does not make him a 'civilian'. He is still a soldier by training. The trained heartlessness and thieving by most Nigerian politicians are not cured by his numerous decamping. Atiku Abubakar is still the same man known for his legendary in terms of decamping and re-decamping or call him a legitimate political prostitute. Whether he is morally and politically upright or not, is not changed or determined by his routine decamping.
What aches my mind is that are there no people from the civil and human rights circles who can take over the politics from these cake-sharers? I feel this is the only angle for political salvation for Nigeria, and not these mindless looters and deceivers coming under the guise of different political parties.
Nigeria is in the soup with these crops of politicians we have irrespective of their political parties. Whither goest Nigeria?
