Hakeem Baba-Ahmed pleads with Bola Tinubu:
"Please don't run again, for this country, for your own good."..."You have nothing more to offer Nigeria"..."You are the worst president in the history of Nigeria". "Please don't run again."
Using armed thugs and lawless members of the security agencies to manipulate election is such a primitive and authoritarian behaviour.
The madness in Osun should make Nigerians to prepare for 2027.
We are dealing with criminal elements masquerading as politicians.
FAILURE TO PROSECUTE SENATOR FRANCIS FADAHUNSI FOR CALLING FOR A BLOOD BATH AGAINST ACCORD PARTY SUPPORTERS IS OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT OF ANARCHY
The Senator representing Osun East Senatorial District, Senator Francis Fadahunsi, in a viral video circulating online, called for the killing of Accord Party members in Osun State during Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The statement made by the Senator in the viral video is highly unfortunate, condemnable, reckless and irresponsible, especially at a time when the political atmosphere in the state is already tense.
The Senator's incendiary statement has heightened the already tense political atmosphere in the state, which may lead to a breakdown of law and order and negatively affect voter turnout in the forthcoming election.
The subsequent explanation by the Senator, in a bid to defend himself by stating that he meant killing the Accord Party members through votes, is pedestrian, childish and feeble.
Furthermore, the statement by the Senator is capable of negatively affecting the integrity of the electoral process, inciting supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against supporters of the Accord Party and other political parties, and also scaring voters away from exercising their constitutional and civic rights to elect candidates of their choice in the forthcoming election.
I am aware that the Criminal Investigation Department of the Osun State Police Command invited the Senator for questioning and subsequently released him. This shows that the Osun State Police Command has already taken sides and appears unwilling to take further action against the Senator.
It is on this note that I call on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, to immediately arraign the Senator in a court of competent jurisdiction, in order to demonstrate to Nigerians that his commitment to securing the electoral process in Osun and ensuring a free and fair election is not empty.
The prosecution of the Senator will equally demonstrate to Nigerians that he is non-partisan and impartial, having arrested members of the Accord Party and ferried them to Abuja on yet-to-be-substantiated allegations of violence.
Failure to prosecute Senator Fadahunsi in accordance with the law will be interpreted by well-meaning Nigerians as an official endorsement of anarchy and a dangerous signal that certain individuals are above the law.
Such inaction will not only undermine public confidence in the impartiality and integrity of the Nigeria Police Force, but may also embolden political actors and their supporters to resort to threats, intimidation and violence as tools of political engagement.

@ruffydfire APC Candidates are always eloquent but that is not enough. Don’t be deceived, they’ll always tell you what you want to hear in order to have the votes. BEWARE!
Whenever I come back from “the abroad”, the first thing I look for is Suya and roasted corn. My Mai Suya are very diligent. The only days they are not there are on Sallah holidays.
Having been “in the abroad” for more than a month, I looked forward to my local ram suya. They were not there on Saturday. I thought “That’s odd!” They were not there again on Sunday. I felt that something must be wrong.
When they were not there again by 12 noon on Monday, as they usually are everyday, I was really concerned.
There is a smart young woman who does a POS business near them. I asked her why they had not come for three days and she said that they had a little problem. I asked her what “little problem” they had.
Apparently, someone had come to buy Suya from them. While he was buying the Suya, a car thief entered his car and drove it away. He then accused my Suya guys of being responsible for the theft of his car, since he was buying Suya from them when it was stolen. He had all of them arrested and locked up!
I asked for their numbers and the POS lady said that they had seized all their phones. I didn’t know which police station they were at. I didn’t know their names and on the occasions that I had paid for my suya with a bank transfer, I didn’t save their account details that would have shown a name at least.
I started asking the people I knew in the police, but felt a bit silly saying “I am looking for four Suya guys that were arrested.”
I was determined to intervene because I know that it was just one “big man” taking out his frustrations on some little guys. How long does it take to buy Suya that they will have enough time to organise for your car to be stolen?
Those guys have been on that street for 20 years. They sell four full rams every day. They have come to my house to roast ram suya when I have had major social events.
I asked another Suya guy who sells beef suya nearby whether he had any of their phone numbers but he said that even he doesn’t have a phone, never mind having anybody’s phone number.
After searching for them for a week, I finally found a guy who said that they had now been bailed from the police station and were considering resuming their business. They had lost at least two weeks and were so traumatised by the experience that they did not want to return to the same location on Ebitu Ukiwe where they had been for 20 years!
I arranged with the guy who knew them that he will take me to go and see them when I return from my current trip. I will see if I can persuade them to return to their usual spot next to the diligent POS young woman and the nice lady that sells roasted corn. Perfect combination!
This country can be brutal when you are not a big man. Those of us who are not small in our own right have a duty to help protect the little guys from the typical Naija “big man.” I will find that their accuser, somehow, someway. You might think that you are a big man but “Even your boo get a boo (a boo, a boo).”
