For those who may be gloating over FAYOSE ‘s predicament there may be a myopia here!
Today it appears it is Fayose but tomorrow nko!?
We have been here before! The statement about history repeating itself applies!
This was how MKO ‘s imareration caused so much trauma for the nation! It was a political detention! Fayose’s detention has a political colouration to it! Some may argue that Fayose is being pulled in by the Efcc and that there is a remarkable difference with MKO Abiola ‘s detention ! To me the similarity is there and I’ll explain why!
…..and the agents of the apex sought and got a meeting again with ‘osokomole! The shady world of politics was at play! Unmarked cars, disguises . unholy hours of the night all in the mix! ! This was shortly before the Ekiti elections it was obvious to most and the powers that be that Ayo Fayose had mobilised so much Ekiti was already a done deal for the pdp party! So they needed this deal badly!
“Ayo look we have offered this deal to govs( in situations like yours in the immediate past. We have offered it to senators and other people the strong man of the APC spoke ! I can assure you that if you let ekiti go for Buhari I give you some personal guarantee that you will not be harassed at all after your immunity runs out!
‘in addition there may be some financial benefit
Already there was a ” sanhendrin” I n the adjacent room waiting to celebrate the deal!
Bigger boys ” (as they now say on the streets no longer big boys)
Osoko ‘s mood immediately switched “Eskisa, ( a phrase usually used by Ayo Fayose) I’m surprised you are offering me this deal, If others have taken the past not me Ayo Fayose ! So what do I go back and tell ekiti people, that I sold them out for personal safety! Oga I cannot raraa! ” I’ve set out my stall m I not ready for any deal that involves selling my people out! If I perish I perish ‘” The convincing went on and on but osokomole stood firm! You can see the MKO Abiola similarity coming small small !!
Disappointed both the strong man and the sanhendrin quipped ” we have done our best for you! ‘It should have been wise to take the deal Nigeria is not worth dying for! ! Osokomole promptly stood up and announced no deal sir! Let’s go into a free and fair general elections ‘ eskisa, my party is pdp and we are challenging for the presidency and am mobilising towards that direction! ‘
Okay now! Ayo Fayose has displayed his political integrity in a cloak and dagger political game ! The same way Abiola stood firm on his mandate! Who would have thought Abiola will be in a position of a hero today after Fela had sang ITT for him! ITT meaning” International tief tief ” Abiola although rich and wealthy at one time was a symbol of corruption! But as I always say God holds the ace of how a man will end! With one act of defiance after he had been robbed of his mandate, a political conversion from Saul to Paul as per the road to Damascus experience transpired! Transpired so much that decade down the line at the banquet hall of the villa Aso rock The president, Buhari apologised on behalf of the nation to the Abiola family! If Fela Anikulapo Kuti likes let him be doing a cartwheel in his grave! The official position today as far as the nation is concerned is that Abiola is the main hero of our emerging democracy and there will be others along the line! Fayose is fast shaping up to be one too ! among the greats partly because of the way this govt is handling his matter! In truth the emphasis is bound to shift from financial crime to political persecution!
Now I keep saying fair is fair! I hear Obnikoro, and possibly Omisore will be star witnesses against FAYOSE!! Can you imagine! They will play the ‘Judas ‘ for thirty pieces of efcc files abi? This is the shameful part of yorubaland and this is why most other tribes when it comes to this kind of business are suspicious of Yoruba people! I must say the truth we have the potential of betrayal sometimes and in this Bussines of betrayal charity always begins at home! Thank God at the same time we have men of valour and intelligence to counter this tendency to betray otherwise we are people to be dealt with with a long pole!
Awolowo Abiola and now possibly FAYOSE will have saved our blushes who at the critical times stood firm to display courage and resilience! The primary reason for the detention of Fayose is political Even after two weeks he may not be released the general elections are coming again the southwest is a battle ground and even the big boys in the southwest knows what he is capable of doing when he begins to roll,! They want to keep him on the inside but a grave mistake is being made!
How can you convince us that after having the benefits of three and a half years to prepare a case against FAYOSE you are saying you need more time to question him! Buhari is using the efcc to extract a pound of flesh and keep him out of the presidential campaign! Also naturally and personally the president appears to have an unforgiving spirit, As mean spirited as they come! Couched in the name of a fake anti corruption fight!he A man getting closer to his maker must be less mean-spirited he should forgive us our trespasses as he expects to be forgiven his own trespasses before judgement day !
Yes agreed Ayo Fayose went over the top in some cases in the utterances directed towards the president but like we use to quip when I was in primary school ‘ sticks and stones breaks my bones but words never hurt me!! “
we are in a democracy mouthing off is an inticrate part of democracy as guaranteed in the freedom of expression clause in our constitution !
well we on the outside are monitoring the situation very carefully and watching which direction this will fall!
good morning all!
Aficonene!
