’’What would have been distributed properly by the elite has been sinfully pocketed to further the course of the elite alone, thereby abandoning the poor…We must begin from a clean slate. Nigeria must begin afresh, without this there will be no freedom and genuine development. The elite are holding the downtrodden to ransom.’’ – Quoted in Nowinta’s book, 2009: Where We Are (page 106)
Pebbles with Igbotako Nowinta
Who says Major Ojogbame Adegbe, former Aide-de-camp (ADC) to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan should not open his wide mouth?
Who cares what he says to the world about the unfortunate disaster which the government of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has turned out to be?
What else has Major Adegbe got to tell the brutally pauperized people of Nigeria about the ruinous spectacle which the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) succeeded in becoming in just sixteen years of phony democracy in Nigeria?
When I saw the high pitched headlines announcing the arrest of Major Ojogbame Adegbe by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the alleged threat from him that: “If I open up Nigeria will burn,” I was seething with anger.
I became infuriated because of the fact that this bunch of opportunistic criminals has taken us for a ride for too long. What and who do they think they are? What makes them special?
It is tragic that the Nigerian system has been made so porous, riddled and ridden with political bandits and monstrous security officers both in mufti and uniforms, that now transforms stark cowards and senile characters into super stars over brave, brilliant and bold citizens.
Now a gang of individuals whose political careers were on the line and on the brink as a result of the master piece (card readers) introduced by ex-Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, during the 2015 general elections are now jubilating and holding wild thanksgiving services in town because the Supreme Court has come to their rescue suddenly.
Why must some shady and unpopular politicians hide under deliberate systemic lapses and mistakes such as we have seen with the recent judgment emanating from the nation’s highest court in our land to deny the electorate their rightful choices?
Today, who is at a loss? Certainly, it is the nation. The Almighty Card Reader and the Permanent Voters Card have not been captured in the Electoral Act.
That is to say that while some of the Tribunals and the Appellate Courts used the Card Reader as fantastic basis for their judgments, the Supreme Courts has simply viciously retarded the huge gains recorded by Attahiru Jega’s INEC.
Even after trillions of money has been expended on the project! Most politicians still believe in willful obstruction of the peaceful and orderly democratic process for their insatiable interest; fugitives to truth! This is the character of unpopular politicians in Nigeria – sheer heartlessness of the highest magnitude, a chilling sense of evil.
Nigerians want to hear Major Ojogbame Adegbe talk, because all the monies misappropriated or stolen must be recovered to stabilize the country.
To me really, the Arms deal scandal is the most pitiless and inhuman efforts by some privileged Nigerians to undo their fellow citizens in the name of senseless greed, in which hundreds of military personnel were sent to their untimely deaths on the battle fields.
It is nothing but a kind of insanity that will make a man to go and hide billions of dollars in a sock away in his compound while countless millions of Nigerians cannot afford just one meal a day.
Major Ojogbame Adegbe must be made to name the unnamable, the highest of thieves and those aiding and abetting their satanic ventures.
Just like what we have seen elsewhere, in doing so the sky will not burn to ashes, neither will the country go under.
Major Ojogbame Adegbe must talk now!
