Woe to Nigeria pertaining to the leadership selection process where harebrained and virtually empty heads wangled and manipulated their way to the Executive and Legislative Arms of Government (as Governors and members of the state and federal Legislatures.
Let me zero on the Southeast
Geopolitical zone where there is a plethora of harebrained people in the
Executive arm of government and Legislative Arm of government who are serially
messing up with the fraudulently acquired mandate.
In 2023, December time to be
precise, the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives from Abia state, Hon.
Benjamin Okezie Kalu (of course the appellation "Hon" has become a
right to whomever grabbed membership of a Legislature in Nigeria) floated his
pet project which he branded "Peace in South East Project, PISE-P.
Do you know ulterior motive of
the project which from all indication was a harebrained initiative? He regaled
his easily cajoled Abia state people that PISE-P was a marvelous roadmap for
restoration of security in the security ravaged southeast geopolitical zone occasioned
by the rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya and subsequent incarceration in
the DSS gulag.
Consequently, according to
Kalu, the proscribed IPOB and the socalled Unknown Gunmen had capitalized on
the detention of Nnamdi Kanu to make the zone a terrible place for
socioeconomic activities until the federal government let Nnamdi Kanu off the
hook.
In his harebrained initiative
and articulation, Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, Hon Kalu , contented
that his PISE-P was a foolproof module or mantra for the restoration of
security in the embattled southeast geopolitical zone.
As an APC minion and bootlicker
of their former Master in Aso Villa Abuja,
president Buhari, and now president Tinubu, he dared not mention the
importance of multi policing system (aka, State Police) an integral principle
of Federal system of government as obtained the world over. He has to swim or
sink with the Fulani Feudal Oligarchy that control the APC which has zero
tolerance for the principles of federal system of government even as obtained
in the First Republic backed with the 1963 Republican Constitution, a realistic
federal constitution which was accepted by all Nigerians in the First Republic.
Kalu's PISE-P was simply to run
away from the nationwide clarion calls for the immediate Restructuring of the
lopsided Federation with decentralized security architecture as integral part.
Of course he knows the stand of the southerners and especially the Igbos on the
issue of state police, but he had to jettison his people's preference so as to
continue licking the arse of his masters in Aso Villa for juicy Committee in
the Green Chamber.
Recently, Hon Benjamin Okezie
has floated another harebrained group termed "PEACE MARSHALS" which
should be established in every Ward in the entire Southeast Geopolitical zone.
The members will be called "Peace preachers and reconciliation
officers" who should be going from house to house preaching peace and
reconciliation to stop insecurity in the southeast geopolitical zone.
And thrust Ndi Abia state, they
are ever ready to dance along with any frivolously minded politician in the
Legislature so far that money is flowing out of his pocket. Please, can sane
and sanitized people from the southeast geopolitical zone call Hon Benjamin Okezie
Kalu to order, to reevaluate his mandate in the Green Chamber? Southeast Geopolitical zone people have had
enough of his harebrained initiatives. But for the hypocrisy in the process of
recalling Legislators who have gone out of track, this man is due for recalling
from the House of Representatives because he doesn't have the interest of his
Constituency in his heart. It has become apparent that all his activities in
the House is to be licking the ass of the owners of the APC, the Fulani Feudal
Oligarchy.
