I must commend President Goodluck
Jonathan for removing Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as National Chairman of the
PDP and finally dumping him. It really is good riddance to bad rubbish
because that man was a disaster to his party. PDP itself is bad enough
but to have a self-conceited and vainglorious ancient dinosaur who is
completely fixed in his ways, who believes that anyone and everyone
below the age of 60 is still a ”young” man or woman and who sees the
world from the prism and mindset of a 1960′s Viet Nam war veteran that
is still suffering from post-war traumatic syndrome was a disaster
waiting to happen.
This was a man that drove goodwill away
from his party in the same way that shelltox drives away mosquitoes from
a bedroom. As long as Tukur was in charge the continued demise of the
PDP was guaranteed. He was not only a scourge to the ruling party but he
was also a beautiful, eager and willing undertaker to it’s long lost
glory and a tremendous source of comfort and joy to those of us in the
opposition APC. We shall miss him sorely and I must confess that he did a
great job for us whilst he lasted. May he enjoy his forced and
long-overdue retirement from public office and partisan politics and may
he live long enough to see the PDP defeated and an APC President sworn
in in 2015.
I also commend the President for
removing and reshuffling a large number of his key commanders in the
military a couple of weeks ago and then retiring no less than three of
his four Service Chiefs just the other day (16th January 2014) and
appointing new ones. This was the right and proper thing to do after the
precious lives of no less than 7000 innocent Nigerian citizens were cut
short by Boko Haram in the war against terror in the last three years.
It was also the expedient and responsible thing to do given the fact
that no less than 200 of our gallant soldiers were killed in one battle
alone against Boko Haram (and later buried in mass graves) just a few
months ago simply because they ran out of bullets and after a whole army
barracks was burnt down to the ground and the family members of
military personnel were slaughtered, again by Boko Haram, just a few
weeks ago. Something had to give and heads had to roll simply because we
were not making any headway in the war against terror and instead we
were suffering heavy casualties and embarrassing losses.
Yet despite the fact that both moves
were commendable they will change nothing because they are both too
little and too late. The PDP will continue to sink because it is a
political party that has lost it’s bearing and it’s soul and it has
mortgaged it’s conscience. It has also lost the source and strength of
it’s inspiration and moral authority in the distinguished person of
President Olusegun Obasanjo who really was the glue that bound the party
together and kept it going against all odds.
Though Obasanjo remains in
the PDP he has also wisely opted out of participating in its affairs.
This is a manifestation of his disgust with the President and the former
National Chairman and he has now become the official ”navigator” of the
newly emerging power in the field of Nigerian politics which is known
as the APC. Frankly speaking the PDP has become a party that is beyond
redemption and the removal of Tukur cannot change that. I say this
because no sensible person will go back to a stinking carcass simply
because the head of the dead animal has been cut off and thrown away. A
carcass remains a carcass whether you cut off it’s head, legs or any
other part of it’s body or not. Whichever way, it remains as dead as a
dodo and it only awaits a formal burial. The truth is that the vultures
are already feeding fat on the rotting and decaying cadavar of the PDP
and whether anyone likes to hear it or not the truth is that that party
can never be whole again. As I said eight months ago it is a party that
has been rejected by God and whose leaders are suffering God’s judgement
for their unjust, gluttonous, wicked, foul and evil ways.
In the same way I have to say that no
matter how commendable and honourable in intention the recent changes in
our military High Command may be they will achieve nothing either and,
in practical terms, they will serve absolutely no purpose. This is
because the morale of the army is very low due to the massive losses
that they have recorded in the war against Boko Haram and because they
have a Commander in Chief who does not care about their welfare, does
not ”give a damn” about their fortunes and does not have the guts to
lead and inspire them with strength and courage. Worst still he has
refused to arm and equip them properly or give them a free hand to fight
and prosecute the war against terror with the ruthless precision and
decisive resolve that is required. They say that if an army of sheep is
led by a lion it will win every battle. In the same vein they also say
that if an army of lions is led by a sheep it cannot win any battle. The
latter is the case in Nigeria. In our military we have an army of lions
who are well-trained, professional, strong, courageous, ready to go and
capable of doing anything that is required of them as long as they are
properly led, well-armed, well-equipped, well-motivated, well-supplied,
adequately encouraged, thoroughly inspired and well-supported.
However that same army of noble and
courageous lions is led by a sheep who, by his own words, has told the
world that he is not a lion, he is not a warrior, he is not a fighter
and that he is not a king. If anyone has any doubts about that permit me
to refer you to my essay titled ”A President Without Balls” and the two
updated versions of the same essay titled ”The Gutless Eunuch and
Spirit of the Jagaban” and ”The Gutless Eunuch and the Lion King”
respectively. They can all be found on my website-www.femifanikayode.org or
you can just google them. To have such a man as Commander-in-Chief
actually encourages and tempts the enemy to attack us because weakness
and a reluctance to lock horns and engage and to be strong, forceful and
decisive when provoked or attacked always attracts aggression. As long
as such a weak and uninspiring man remains the Commander-in-Chief of
the Nigerian Armed Forces please be ready for more casualties and more
losses regardless of how lion-like, courageous or professional our
soldiers may be.
However there is hope. If Goodluck
Jonathan wants his fortunes and the fortunes of his party to change and
if he wants peace to return to our shores he simply has to do twelve
things. Firstly he has to resign as President forthwith and undertake
to stay out of Nigerian politics for the next ten years and confine
himself to fishing in Otuoke. Secondly, if he cannot step down, he must
give a public undertaking to the Nigerian people that he will not run
for re-election in 2015 and tell them that if he changes his mind and
decides to do so at the last minute they should stone him. Thirdly he
must go and prostrate flat on the floor with his face touching the
ground before seven of the most respected and distinguished men in this
country and tell them that he is very sorry for the mess he has created
and he must refuse to get up until they swear by the Holy Bible or Holy
Koran that they have truly forgiven him for destroying our country.
Those men are President Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ibrahim Babangida,
General Abdulsalami Abubakar, General TY Danjuma, General Muhammadu
Buhari, Vice President Atku Abubakar and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Fourthly
he must write an open letter of apology to the 36 Governors of the
Federation, the Senate President, the Speaker of the House and the Chief
Justice of the Federation for his manipulative ways and the gross
incompetence and ineptitude that he has displayed whilst running the
affairs of this country over the last three years.
Fifthly he must write a letter of
condolence and pay a token fee of compensation as restitution to the
families of every single one of the 7000 innocent Nigerians that have
been killed by Boko Haram in the last three years. Sixthly he must take
off the kid gloves, stop interfering and give the military the green
light to use all necessary means to prosecute the war against Boko Haram
and he must win that war. Seventhly he must dismantle the death squads
and the group of deadly snippers that he has allegedly commissioned to
create havoc and he must tear up the list of one thousand opposition
figures that he has been accused of drawing up for elimination by
Obasanjo and others. Eighthly he must remove one Esho Jinadu who is
better known as Mr. Buruju Kashamu (a rather strange name that does not
have it’s origins in Yorubaland but instead sounds like a low quality
brand of Indian tea) as the leader of the PDP in the south-west and
honour the demand of the American Courts and the ruling of the Nigerian
Federal High Court and Court of Appeal by extraditing him to the United
States of America to answer serious charges of drug smuggling in that
country forthwith. Ninthly he must direct his Ijaw supremacist kinsmen
to desist from threatening the lives of other Nigerians that oppose his
government and who keep threatening brimstone and fire and the
dismemberment of Nigeria if he is not allowed to come back in 2015. Tenthly he must undertake to stop
serving kai kai at the Presidential Villa and he must dispense with the
services of one Mama Brandy, a well-known Ijaw ”prayer warrior” and
spiritualist. Eleventhly he must pull down every satanic alter that may
have been erected in the Presidency and consecrate and re-dedicate the
whole place to the Living God. And twelfthly he must give a public
undertaking that the other four Presidents that run this country with
him and that act as his ”Co-Presidents” will also step down with him
forthwith or, if he insists on staying till 2015, give an undertaking
that he will fire them with immediate effect and bar them from playing
any role whatsover in the running of the affairs of our country from now
on.
Those four co-Presidents are, in order of seniority, 1. Dame
Patience Jonathan (the First Lady) 2. Allison Dizeani Madueke (the Hon.
Minister of Petroleum Resources) 3. Stella Oduah (the not so Hon.
Minister of Aviation) and 4. Ngozie Okonjo-Iweala (the Hon. Minister of
Finance and the Co-ordinating Minister). President Goodluck Jonathan,
even though he is the public face of the small cabal of co-Presidents
that presently rules Nigeria and even though he is the one that was
given a lawful mandate from the Nigerian people in 2011 to lead our
country, comes a distant fifth in the pecking order. He is co-President
number 5 and woe betide him if he crosses the line and tries to
challenge the position or usurp the duties of any of his four seniors.
That is the sordid and degenerate level that our country has been
reduced to by this little man from Otuoke.
Yet it is not too late. If our President
can find the courage to take these twelve steps, peace will return to
Nigeria immediately and our people will once again have hope. The
problem that we have in our country today is not an ageing former Party
National Chairman called Bamanga Tukur who has lost touch with reality,
who never knew how to play the game and who did not know when to call it
quits. And neither was it a set of tired and exhausted army commanders
and Service Chiefs who did their best but who received no real and
tangible support or encouragement from their Commander-in-Chief in the
field of battle. The problem that we have is the President himself- a
President who prides himself on his own weakness and incompetence and
whose love of false prophets and strange women knows no bounds and has
no end. A President who is as confused and as clueless as the comic
character called Chancey Gardner in the celebrated 1970′s Peter Seller’s
Hollywood blockbuster titled ”Being There”.
A President who does not understand the
meaning of the word ”class” or ”honesty” and who breaks his own word
consistently. A President who has abdicated his responsibilities,
destroyed his own political party, divided his own country, alienated
his own friends, humiliated his own mentor, abandoned his own people,
brought ridicule to his own faith, cowers before his own officials,
betrays his own governors, scorns the international community and breaks
his solemn oath to protect and defend the Nigerian people. A President
who does not even have the nerve or the guts to call to order any of the
numerous Jezebels that control him. He is the problem we have in our
country today and until he resigns, is impeached or is voted out of
power nothing will change and Nigeria will continue to go from bad to
worse. That is what you get when you vote for a man who never wore shoes
to school.
May God deliver our country.

ReplyDeleteFFK, u are a very stupid idiot for writing this rubbish against our dear GEJ. I wonder if truly u are a yoruba man that u claim. Yorubas to d best of my understanding are well cultured people who have respect for leaders and constituted authority. How far have u gone with ur trial with EFCC concerning u case of looting d treasury when u served as a minister in d Aviation ministry. Freedom of speech as guranteed in our constitution does not mean freedom to incite the military againt d dully elected president of this country. Beware and be warned u are commiting treason if u don't know and mind u no man is above d law. Omo ale, eranko lasan lasan
ReplyDeleteFFK, see ur life, it is a pity. All this unsolicited write up of urs can't get u a place in GEJ administration. D cheap attention u craved for will also take u no where, just relax and sink with ur looted money from d avaition ministry. Ole, omo ale, baba barawo. Mtcheeeeeeee. Let's I forget, please go hug.

ReplyDeleteFani,u are really sick & you need help. Your will & your new friends will ,will never be done in Nigeria but God's will will be done in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteFFK, you talk too much, you are lousy...dats shows u lack character, imagine Goodluck apologising to IBB, who put us in all dis mess in the first place...u talk too much, so u don begin yarn nonsense, mind you dis is coming from a yoruba man as yourself, so no tribal sentiment here
ReplyDeleteIn as much as i always disagree with FFK he has raised some important points wch i tink d president hv t work on. sincerely luking @ all dis issues d president himself is d major problem his word are nt his bounds.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why we nigerians can't read between thhe lines,FFK is saying the truth,it'll be disatrous for us as a nation if we don't kick jonathan and his cohorts out of office come 2015,the other I was reading the news and it was reported that the 1st lady is canvassing for support for the minister of transportation whose ministry is indirectly under her supervision as the national chairman of PDP and I said to myself why would the 1st lady be supervising a ministry?was she or her husband was given the mandate in 2011?if stella oduah isn't one of those controlling the president as alledged by FFK,why did the president silent on her bullet proof cars scandal?only for him to set up a committee when we have anti graft agencies that can look into the matter,GEJ can't stay in power beyond 2015 because it will spell doom for us all.
ReplyDeleteNigerians no how to spread false news. Hearsay cant move us forward. The President's wife is not supervising any ministry & not advocating for anyone to be PDP chairman. This is how they said Stella's son is not normal. Pls be wise.& use your brain. All the people Fani said President Jonathan should go & beg are the ones destroying our nation. If you want to be slave like fani to this people continue but think of your children & the nations future. They are all the people that puts us in this problem that Jonathan is trying to fix & by the special grace of God' We shall overcome.

ReplyDeleteThey should give this man a contract before something very bad happens to him o. Behold an opposition party man telling his opponet in the game what was done right and what should be done to remain strong. Who is he decieving. APC is hereby saddled with a liability called FFK Ltd
ReplyDeleteffk,this write up looks like u are not above 20yrs. Tolu
ReplyDeleteMost of the people that are attacking FFK on this article are surely most of the teeming youths from Niger delta regions who never travelled out either from Portharcourt or bayelsa to see what the world looks like and it is a pity!
ReplyDeleteHow can some body berates the truth? Is it a lie too that Rivers state is under siege and is returning to pre 2007 era? is it also a lie that since GEJ assumed power (from His VP days) has not been able to do anything for the ND people despite the establishment of ND Ministry by Late Yaradua?
Is it also a lie that the east west road is in the worst state since after independence despite the establishment of the ND Ministry and enormous allocation to the Ministry.....I expect every Niger Delta youths to be objective.
What does it profit you as a ND youth if your so called "brother" is the President and there is NO development.......ND Youths think well before reacting!
I'm from Ondo state,I believe in the trueth. The so called distinguished people are those stealing & destroying our country. If you take fani serious I pity u.
DeleteDo u know he is a spoilt brat.He slept with women and was talking on the web about it.Just dont mind him
DeleteBy the FFK standards, I present Nigerians 7 most respected and distinguished men in this country
ReplyDelete1. President Olusegun Obasanjo
2. General Ibrahim Babangida
3. General Abdulsalami Abubakar
4. General TY Danjuma
5. General Muhammadu Buhari
6. Vice President Atku Abubakar
7. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
With the exception of General Abdulsalami Abubakar, how dare you refer to these people as 7 most respected and distinguished men in this country.
FFK, even if the silence punishment meted out to by the present administration for such comments God is watching you.
FFK deserves to be shot in public and treated like a dog. He's thinking is so myopoic but that is very understandable despite his good educatian. You cannot expect to bad tree to produce good fruit. APC i am very happy for your lot that you have someone like FFK in your ranks. Such a foolish man. The same man who says tukur is outdates is the same man who names obasanjo, IBB,abdulsalam etc as Nigerias most respected leaders. Anyway sha its all propaganda and he is only playing to the gallery so at least he will get recognision from his new masters. Ode osi.
ReplyDeleteAlright everyone,in as much as I'm not a fan of FFK,he has raised very serious points,which shld be looked into...like the"4 co-presidents".....but I don't agree with the 7 most respected elders list....GEJ should do more to fight the insurgency in the north.....
ReplyDelete@anon 6am, if u no sabi English, or any other person, pls make u or Una shut up
ReplyDeleteWho da 4ck is dis Fucking FK!shut d f* up man. U mk a lot of noise u empty fin..
ReplyDeleteDespite the fact that he speaks a lot of truth, i must confess there is a lot of trash too. That happens when you talk too much. The 7 names mentioned are mostly men that should face a firing squad for wrecking the country.
ReplyDeleteFFK got it right on some points. I don't agree with his idea of the 7 distinguished men though. Only Abdul Salam should be in that list
ReplyDeleteAny discerning mind can see through FFK's desperation to make up with the enemies he made when he was in Baba's government. Was he not the bold young minister who with Elrufai were in the forefront of Cabinet members insistng that Atiku must resign from the cabinet during his face off with Baba over allegations of impropriety in relation to PTDF'S funds and other sundry issues? So when did Atiku suddenly become amongst the 7 most distinguished Nigerians?
ReplyDeleteAtiku join the group when he joined him to abuse GEJ.Dont mind him.EFCC visitor
