Election Horror
Well, the April 21 presidential elections in the entrapment called Nigeria was business as usual when the predetermined polls closed Saturday night for the bigot Olusegun Obasanjo who has turned a country into a state of empire and anarchy. What sort of nation is this? How long can a nation be bleeding? Why are the people tight-lipped? Why are the people not engaging themselves in real conversations to find a way out of this whole madness? And, what's going on?
Without a doubt, we are witnessing the worst election and the worst administration in history. The irony: Nobody is saying a word.
Even in the jungle where the fittest survives, I believe there is some kind of order. But it wasn't so in a nation of over 130 million with a "democratic fabric" where democracy and the rule of law is upheld. A police assistant commissioner and eight other cops were gunned down in Nasarawa State, even though it's an Islamic Jihadic state long known for its cycle of violence. According to reports reaching my desk, at least 400 people have died so far in an election we all know who the winner is. While a chopper catapulting materials belonging to Independent National Election Commission (INEC) officials crashed in Owerri killing three people, Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State was turned into a war zone.
There was also "bloodletting in Kano" that left 20 people dead. In the Marine Base area of Port Harcourt, series of explosives and gunshots were fired to disrupt the elections while in Abuja, a truck-bomb designated to blow up INEC Headquarters was thwarted. Ah ah!
All of a sudden, Senate President Ken Nnamani is running for his life alleging a "mischievous plot to hang" him in a trumped up charge that he had in the making a plan for an interim national government which is one of OBJ's fears reflecting back to the Ernest Shonekan and Sani Abacha years. But it's quite obvious OBJ is using his stooge the so-called "Minister of Information and National Orietation" Frank Nweke to cause havoc. Information Minister! Imagine the kind of political appointments given to Nd'Igbo and yet they will be used and thrashed when their service is no longer needed.
We'll see how it unfolds!
