The state of the country today is the direct result of Tinubu’s ‘vision"
Lest we forget, Tinubu and his defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) had a hand in the protests that followed the removal of subsidy in January 2012 – just to undermine then President Goodluck Jonathan. He didn’t see then that subsidising consumption would kill Nigeria. Few years later, precisely in December 2015 when Tinubu’s APC had assumed power, he made a U-turn and called for the removal of subsidy!
Since Tinubu and his tribe of vicious liars frustrated its removal in 2012, Nigeria has spent over N6.210 trillion to sustain the subsidy on fuel consumption, and presently spends N18 billion daily, according to the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed.
The state of the country today is the direct result of Tinubu’s ‘vision’. To those who continue to spew half-truths and ‘true lies’ about this old, crooked fox’s magical abilities, we’ll continue to challenge you at every turn. When some revisionist intellectuals defend this man and attribute to him qualities he does not possess, I say, oh Bourdillon! That centre of iniquity and vice, what are thou done to men that they can’t reason or see anymore? What evil spell did thou cast on these people such that they now see evil and call it good, and good, they call evil?
Yet this is a man who can hardly think or speak coherently, who can hardly put words together in a decipherable manner, whose every public intervention is a disaster. He mumbles words and drifts to unrelated issues in nearly all his public speaking. Clearly, you see a man with diminished faculties brought about by old age. This is the man a cadre of able-bodied men and women, young and old, educated and uneducated are falling over themselves to promote. Sometimes you can’t help but wonder what these people really want for Nigeria.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been on strike for over six months now, with no end in sight. Some parents whose children have been idling at home are amongst those still supporting the APC. And their children will be willing thugs in the hands of the APC machine to harass and intimidate voters to keep it in power. As usual, they don’t think of their tomorrow, all they are concerned about is how much they can get today by helping certificate forgers and school dropouts to win elections.
In the run-up to the 2015 general election, Tinubu blamed President Jonathan for the strike ASUU had embarked on, saying it was further evidence of incompetence of the then government. He then urged parents and youths to vote out that government to preserve their future. He lamented that unemployment had become rife and that the country needed a new leadership at the helm of affairs to refocus its socio/economic direction. They came up with the mantra of change to give energy to their cause. It caught fire and the country became enveloped in ‘change’ and they won the election.
How time flies! Life is full of ironies and as if almost divinely crafted to expose Tinubu and his hypocritical defenders as they repeatedly stew themselves in their own hypocrisy, things have come full cycle for them. Same ASUU has embark
