Did Monday Okpebolo get approval from Gov. Adeleke of Osun State before going to Osun to campaign for his party's candidate the same way he wanted Peter Obi to collect clearance and approval from him before entering Edo?
When Nigeria actually begins to fight Corruption the first agency to be under intense Investigation is the EFCC @officialEFCC
A Cesspool of CORRUPTION ❗️
The increasing use of federal institutions to disrupt governance in opposition states in Nigeria is condemnable. As I said in my last newsletter, no government is above scrutiny but when institutions like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are utilised to witch hunt specific states or public office holders, it indicates that their investigations are selective and erodes public trust in these institutions.
The “freezing” of an official state government account without due legal process goes beyond the powers vested in the EFCC by the laws of our land. And the timing of the action suggests that this is just another attempt by the federal government to unduly influence the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
Federal institutions must remain faithful to their constitutional mandate by acting with fairness, professionalism and political neutrality at all times. We therefore call on all Nigerians, civil society organisations and the international community to remain vigilant. Democracy cannot thrive where our institutions are perceived as instruments of political intimidation. Protecting the independence and credibility of our institutions is essential to preserving public trust and safeguarding Nigeria's democracy. The rule of law must prevail over the rule of politics.
Captain Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso replies to Sheikh Gumi of Nigeria, who criticized him as too young and naive to reject Sharia law, saying “Come to Burkina Faso and tell me I am a small boy. Come and force me to implement Sharia law.”
"A very genuine and productive piece of advice was given to President Bola Tinubu by the Catholic bishops, but someone became so myopic as to turn it into a denominational issue, which is very embarrassing. Those bishops were speaking the minds of Nigerians. People like Daniel Bwala should never be taken seriously; he is working for his stomach. These are the sycophants destroying the country's leadership. The current situation in Nigeria is terrible and deplorable—everything is collapsing."
— His Grace, Most Rev. Sosthenes Eze, Anglican Archbishop, reacts to the criticism that followed the Catholic bishops' visit to President Bola Tinubu and the att@cks on Cardinal John Onaiyekan.
It will take another 20 years to recover from the damage and suffering Tinubu has forced Nigeria into.
The best time to correct this is 2027.
