It was okay for General Ibrahim
Babangida to award prolific oil blocks to the Indimis and Mai Deribes. It was
also okay for Abacha to reward the likes of General TY Danjuma and Fashion
designer Alakija but it was not okay for President Goodluck Jonathan's
government to settle the Malabu/OPL 245 matter that had been lingering in the
courts for over 20 years and for which tons of dollars have been spent on
litigation and related bric brats!
It is unfortunate that President
Jonathan who has so committed himself to the pursuit of peace across the
Nigerian state and in the much plundered and raped Niger Delta would be
subjected to such underhand methods aimed at denigrating and disparaging his many
legacies for Nigeria.
In spite of our disagreements with
former President Jonathan, it behoves us to always do what is eternally right
for our region and our people.
The recent attempt by one Mr. Razak
Atunwa, a serving member of the House of Representatives, a former member of
the Kwara State House of Assembly and a confirmed Saraki lackey to summon Dr.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR, former President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria smacks of great disrespect and an affront to the tenets of democratic
leadership.
An opportunity to serve as a member
of the Federal House of Representatives should not be mistaken for an
opportunity to exude overzealous cantankerousness, deliberate mischief and
blunt ignorance.
We will continue to watch the
unfolding process. We believe the right thing will be done when key agitating
units within the Niger Delta come to an agreement on what needs to be done.
There is a limit to which a people
can be pushed to the wall. A word has always been enough for the wise.
