Political Vituperation!!! Lol!
This is one of those write-ups by
former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani Kayode. Read it after the cut and tell us
what you think.
I am glad that the APC eventually
took my advice and saw the wisdom in not fielding a muslim/ muslim ticket for
the 2015 Presidential election even though I hear that, right up till the last
minute, they almost did. I
congratulate my friend and brother Professor Yemi Osinbajo on his nomination as
the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC and running mate to General
Muhammadu Buhari. I have known Yemi for a number of years and I must say that
he is not only a very pleasant and civilised person with a warm and gentle
disposition but he is also a cerebal lawyer with a brilliant mind...
I have immense respect for him. Yet
sadly ever since I heard about his nomination and announcement as Buhari's
running mate I have felt nothing but sheer pity for him and a deep sense of
pathos. My counsel and words for him are as follows:
Woe unto the children of light
that secretly delight in darkness and that seek to thwart the counsel of God
for their nation by joining hands with the sons of Boko and the daughters of
Haram. The bible says ''what fellowship is there between light and darkness?''
It says ''what does God have to do with Belial?'' It says ''what profiteth a
man to gain the world and lose his soul?''.
A respected Pastor of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, a devout and committed Christian and an intellectually-sound,
well-bred and well educated Professor of Law accepts to be running mate to a
closet fundamentalist, a bloodthirsty, cruel and murderous military dictator
and a die- hard believer in the philosophy of ''born to rule''? This is
serious.
A gifted servant of God who is a
favored spiritual son of Rev. Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church Of God has jumped into bed with one of the most
notorious
troublers of the faith and one of
the most consistent enemies of democracy and Nigeria? This is very sad. Rev.
Enoch Adeboye is undoubtedly one of God's greatest and most respected generals
on the planet and one of the Church's most humble and best-loved precious gems,
yet one of his spiritual sons has surely let him, and indeed the Kingdom of God,
down by choosing to play ''man Friday'' and second fiddle to an individual that
represents everything that is troubling, unsettling and repugnant to the modern
world and to the 21st century? What a tragedy.
A learned Professor of Law and a
senior member of the Nigerian bar who is the leading authority on the law of
evidence and who has written numerous books on that topic chooses to play
number two to a man that failed all his exams at military college and that
never went to a decent school or to any university? Jumping Jehoshaphat.
It is only in Nigeria that this
sort of thing can happen. Poor Yemi.
Look at what the Haramites have done to him and look at what they have reduced
him to. Is there anything that these creatures from hell will not do?
Is there anyone that they will
not use and is there any norm that they will not defile, pervert, debase, violate
and corrupt in their ignoble quest for power and as a consequence of their
insatiable lusts and manifest greed? The truth is that each and everyone one of
us, including my friend Yemi, will ultimately have to answer to God for the
choices that we make and we must live with the consequences of those choices.
It is no wonder that the Redeemed
Christian Church of God has disassociated itself from a false claim that the
Church and, by implication, Rev. Adegboye himself, was supporting the Buhari/ Osinbajo
ticket.
Thankfully they have come out to
say clearly and categorically that this is not so. One can always
trust Adegboye to do and say the
right thing because he is a man that is truly ''after God's heart''.
Yet the denial of an endorsement
and tacit support from his Church is just the first of many shockers and
unwelcome surprises that Yemi will be served with in the next few weeks. He
will get shock after shock and surprise after surprise until the battle is over
and circumstances compel him to go back to his very lucrative legal practice. Yet
before he does that he should learn a thing or two from one of his esteemed
colleagues and yet another Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, the
courageous Pastor Bosun Emmanuel. Bosun said the following words in his famous sermon
titled 'The Nigerian Church' which went viral just a few months ago.
He said, ''woe be unto any
believer who joins hands with the enemies of God in an attempt to bury the Church
and destroy the gospel''. This was a timely admonition and these are strong and
wise words from a true servant of God who is under no illusion about what is
going on in the politics of Nigeria and who is brave enough to say it as it is.
Yet whether we choose to heed
Bosun's words or not I am absolutely certain of one thing: those that have
aligned with the servants of satan and the children of darkness and that seek
to thwart God's counsel for our nation shall not prevail. Boko Haram abducted
185 women in Borno state on December 18th and they killed no less than 52 innocent
people. Despite that some people are still supporting Buhari and his army of
desperate Haramites? What a people, what a country.
Those that say that Buhari has
changed simply because he chose a Pastor as his running mate are ignorant. Did
he not have a Pastor as his running mate in his last outing in 2011? Did he not
still say that it was his intention to ''spread sharia throughout the country''
and that ''an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north''?
Did he not oppose a state of
emergency in the north eastern states and say that it was unfair for the
military to kill Boko Haram members? Did he not say that instead of killing
them they should forgive them, pamper them and treat them in the same way that
the Niger Delta militants were treated?
Did the spokesman of his party
Alhaji Lai Mohammed not say that the proscription of Boko Haram by the Federal
Government was ‘’unjust’’ and ‘’unconstitutional’’? How does the fact that Buhari
has opted for a Christian running mate change any of these things?
In any case he only opted for a
Christian running mate because he was compelled to do so as a consequence of
the hue and cry that the prospect of a muslim/muslim ticket had already started
to generate.
Are those that cite the fact that
he has a Christian running mate as evidence of his new-found love for
Christians aware of the fact that
during the American civil war a small, ignorant, misguided and deluded group of
negro slaves actually fought on the side of the southern confederate forces in an
attempt to keep slavery in place?
Did that suggest that the leaders
of the southern confederate ‘’secession’’ states suddenly changed
their minds and fell in love with
the blacks that they had enslaved and treated like animals?
Is Buhari's claim of not being
partial to his own hausa-fulani tribe not a little far-fetched? Did he not lead
a northern delegation to Alhaji Lam Adesina, the late Governor of Oyo state,
just a few years ago when some Fulani herdsmen were slaughtering Yoruba farmers
on their own land and ask him ‘’why are YOUR people killing MY people?’’
Apparently Buhari believed that
the aggressors that had invaded the land and farms of others and that killed
all the occupants had a right to do so simply because they were fulani. Yet
some people still claim that the man is not a tribalist. Ignorance and lack of
knowledge is a terrible affliction but in this context it is not only terrible but
also very dangerous. Buhari’s choice of a
Christian Pastor as his running
mate means nothing and changes nothing about him or his entrenched views and
ancient mindset. It rather provides clear evidence of his sheer desperation to
win power at all costs and it is a reflection of his obvious and deep-seated
deceit.
Let the truth be told even though
the heavens may fall: Christian Vice President or no Christian
Vice President, Buhari's heart
remains as dark as ever.
We shall meet him in the field:
let God's will be done.
...another ranting of a tabular rasa...lol
