“Yea though I
walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil for thou art with
me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”- Psalm 23.
I recited this scripture three times and waited on the
Lord quietly and calmly when I heard that my wife and son had been unlawfully
apprehended and detained in a bank in far away Ado Ekiti on the orders of the
EFCC whilst I was in Lagos.
Somebody should tell M… Buhari to stop sending his
goons to abduct other peoples wives and 8 month old infant babies and to stop
trying to traumatise them, lock them up and destroy their lives simply because
they are married to or fathered by opposition politicians and those he hates.
He should leave my wife Precious Chikwendu, my 8 month
old son Aragorn and other members of my family alone, face me directly and be a
man. Even in war the wives and children of the enemy are out of bounds.
The truth is that Buhari is nothing more than a coward
and a bully and he will suffer the consequences of his actions because God will
punish him.
I give thanks to the Living God, the fearless lion
that is known as Governor Ayo Fayose and the good people of Ado Ekiti for
saving the lives of my loved ones and protecting them from the barbaric and
illegal actions and tyranny of the fascists of the EFCC.
I have nothing but contempt for these people. They are
the scum of the earth and by the time this is all over they will know that I
serve a mighty God.
Despite the threats, persecution, violence and
intimidation that my family and I have been subjected to over the last one year
my opposition to the Buhari government remains implacable and unrelenting and I
refuse to be silenced.
I said that Buhari was an evil man right from the
outset and that he would prove to be an incompetent and disasterous President
if elected into office and I have been proved right.
If he and his security forces are not killing Shiite
Muslims, marginalising Christians, silencing and intimidating critics, locking
up members of the opposition, storming the homes of judges or threatening
bloggers and journalists they are sponsoring Fulani militants and herdsmen to
commit acts of barbarity and terror against their fellow Nigerians.
If they are not impoverishing Nigerians, decimating
the economy or freezing the bank accounts of innocent men and women and their
family members they are tormenting, abducting and locking up the wives, infants
and babies of opposition figures.
If they are not intimidating and charging leaders of
the Senate and other senior legislators to court on trumped up charges,
murdering IPOB youths, butchering Niger Deltans, humiliating and cheating their
own party leaders or discrediting and jailing dissenters they are denigrating
women and confining them to the kitchen and bedroom.
Buhari has divided our country along ethnic, religious
and regional lines as never before and he has subjected the Nigerian people to
levels of starvation, deprivation, poverty and suffering that were hitherto
unkown.
And it is not just southerners and Christians that are
feeling the pinch and suffering the pain and affliction. Millions of northern
Muslims are feeling it as well. If anyone doubts that I challenge Buhari to
walk the streets of Kano today and see what happens.
One wonders how things got so bad? One wonders what
engendered this terrible affliction and what attracted this deep-rooted curse
of a government?
One wonders how a country of 180 million resilient,
hard-working, educated, enterprising, adventurous, courageous, cheerful,
charitable, forgiving, kind, God-loving, God-fearing and strong-willed people
ended up with a President from the dark ages like this?
Even members of the President’s own constituency in
the core north, his leading party members from all over the country, his
greatest allies and erstwhile friends and now his beautiful young wife are
complaining bitterly and openly. They are all wailing as loudly and as
frantically as the traditional wailers of the wailing opposition.
The response of the President is to dismiss their
concerns with contempt and to describe his young wife as nothing more than
something akin to a kitchen maid, a glorified cook and a slavish bed wench
before a shocked German audience and an utterly dumbfounded world.
His media aides and apologists tried to spin the whole
thing by suggesting that he was just joking but this did not go down well with
Mumu Buhari.
The very next day he told yet another group of foreign
journalists that he meant every word of what he had said earlier and that as
far as he was concerned “women had no place in politics” and they belonged to
the “kitchen and the bedroom”.
Now the question is this? How can any sane man
describe his wife as only being fit for the kitchen and the bedroom let alone
the President of the largest and most densely populated black nation on earth?
What does that tell the world about us as a people?
How is that supposed to make our women feel? Does the President know the damage
he has done to us by that single statement which he made in distant Germany at
the very heart of the European Union?
One of his media aides has already told us that he
cannot read newspapers and that he can only manage to comprehend the cartoon
section of any paper but even at that his latest comments go beyond the pale.
By his shameful and ignorant assertions about women in
Germany Buhari has confirmed the fact that he has no respect for himself, for
his people, for his continent, for his women or even for his host, Chancellor
Angela Merkel, who is a woman and her German people.
Not only did he say those shameful things about his
wife and women but he also said it in Merkel’s presence and on German soil.
No wonder there was deep outrage in Germany and indeed
throughout Europe and the civilised world and no wonder leading feminist and
human rights organisations and respected members of the German community were
demanding for his expulsion from that country.
It is only in Nigeria that some ignorant, sorry and
hapless opportunists and hungry government apologists, freeloaders and beggars
tried to play the whole thing down by claiming that the President was “just
joking”.
Shameless are those who say so.
The bitter truth is as follows: Nigeria is being run
by a small cabal of hardened, violent, merciless, paranoid, incompetent,
relentless, cow-loving religious bigots who are also closet paedophiles,
chronic misogynists and ravenous sodomites.
Such people are happy to marry nine-year old brides
and to confine their wives to the kitchen and bedroom for the rest of their
lives.
Such people hate criticism or opposition in any shape
or form because they believe that being in power confers some degree of
divinity and deification upon them.
Such people believe that to challenge their
authority is to challenge God and they see themselves not as elected servants
of the people but as divinely ordained representatives of God on earth.
Such people believe in crushing, destroying,
humiliating, killing and jailing their perceived enemies and political
adversaries for no just cause the moment they feel threatened or intimidated.
Yet the truth is as follows: no matter how many Sambo
Dasukis, Nnamdi Kanus, El Zak Zakys, Olisa Metuhs, Justice Niyi Ademolas,
Warimpo Dudafas, Patience Jonathans, Ayo Fayoses, Nyesome Wikes, Seriake
Dicksons, Iyiola Omisores, Segun Mimikos, Robert Azibolas, Bukola Sarakis, Bola
Tinubus, Ike Ekweremadus, Femi Fani-Kayodes, Goodluck Jonathans, Cletus Ibetos,
Ayo Adeseuns, Precious Chikwendus, Bintu Dasukis, Patrick Akpobolokemis, Kimes
or any of the thousands of others that you constantly malign, harass, falsely
accuse, lock up, terrorise, intimidate, charge, traumatise, demonise, malign,
misrepresent, beat, spit upon, insult or humiliate, your time is running out
and you cannot escape God’s wrath and judgement.
No matter how many of their family’s members you seek
to shame, humiliate, traumatise, pauperise, break and bring to their knees it
changes nothing and it cannot slow down the ticking of the clock or stop the
disaster that is coming your way.
The truth is that the fear has gone and no-one is
intimidated by you, your goons, your henchmen and your security agencies any
longer.
The worse you can do is to kill us all in order to
remain in power and even if you do that others will rise up against you in our
stead.
As the great American freedom fighter, founding father
and patriot Thomas Jefferson said, “the tree of liberty is watered by the
blood of patriots and tyrants”. Again as another great American patriot by the
name of Patrick Henry once said “give me liberty or give me death”.
Yet the clock is ticking and your time is almost up. I
pray that you repent before it is too late. I say this not out of malice or in
an attempt to seek revenge but with love and compassion from the bottom of my
heart.
I say it by the leading of the Holy Spirit of the
Living God. If you do not repent and desist I assure you that the very pit that
you are digging for others may well be your final resting place.
No man is greater than the Living God and no
government can successfully and indefinitely resist the will of the people. In
your attempt to silence me, God will silence you.
It is just a matter of time before the good Lord
strikes back and pulls you down. Why? Because your wickedness knows no bounds
and because you take pleasure and delight in it.
Why? Because there is a God in Heaven who rules in the
affairs of men. Why? Because you have touched the anointed of the Lord and you
have troubled His beloved people.
Why? Because He is the father of the fatherless, the
defender of the weak, the provider of the needy and the husband of the widow.
Why? Because the Nigerian people are praying morning,
night and day that your cancerous evil and reckless insensitivity and brutality
must be brought to an end.
This is a wake up call and your final warning. Desist
from troubling the Nigerian people Mr. President and stop trying to destroy the
lives of innocent men and women.
If you do not God will not only bring you to your
knees and humiliate you to a point of ridicule and contempt but He will also
sweep away your government, remove all your clothes and strip you naked before
the entire world.
In your desperate attempt to silence me, the Lord of
Hosts and the Ancient of Days will silence you. Thus sayest the Spirit of the
Most High God and His zeal shall surely perform it.
Sooner than later He will deliver us from this evil
and wicked President who hails from the Dark Ages.
Sooner than later He will rescue us from the cruel and
unrelenting claws of the Dark Angel that presides over the affairs of our land.
Blessed be His name forever.
