While the innocent people of the North Eastern region as well as Abuja were being brutally murdered by the near extinct Boko Haram insurgents, the then ruling party, PDP under President Jonathan was busy sharing what they considered their loot.
They hid under the pretext of fighting the war but were engaged in the most bizarre, callous and unprecedented wickedness to share the money mapped out for the purchase of arms and ammunition to curb the terrorist acts! Rather than uphold the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which mandates the government and the President to protect the lives and properties of citizens, they opted to steal from the security coffers under the supervision of the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki.
The looting was the highest form of impunity by that government. Party chieftains became conduit pipes to siphon money meant to save lives. The likes of Raymond Dokpesi and now Olisa Metuh provided their bank accounts for such illicit transactions, yet, they were supposed to be the mouthpiece of the masses in their different capacities.
The APC Federal Government of President Buhari through the graft agency, EFCC decides to go after these heartless men, and some unconcerned persons under the guise of political affiliations or ethnic sentiments are crying blue murder. This is just the most absurd.
Politics and the brazen quest for power has since beclouded our sense of reasoning, our passion for the sanctity of human lives and even our religious tenets on why we must not kill. How did we get to this point where even those who stand on the pulpit to preach and those who sit in the pews to listen have stood up in their cassock with their Bibles clutched in their hands have turned around to defend the actions and inactions of these bloodsuckers.
The Biblical scripture which states, " Cain, where is thy brother Abel?", is not limited to only those who personally kill. It extends to those who incite, instigate, sponsor and even supervise these sort of murders. There is basically no difference between a Shekau and a Metuh and all those who were part of the sharing of the arms money. They conspired to stuff their accounts with blood soaked money while they laced their shoes and danced Azonto on the graves of those killed through the dreaded bombs of these heartless terrorists.
Winning the 2015 elections was more important to them than to save the lives of fellow Nigerians including innocent young maidens who were kidnapped and forced to become child mothers and suicide bombers.
Those who are crying foul over the arrest of the so called PDP Chiefs should be visited with the same pains which the families of those that were maimed and murdered have gone through. May their virgin daughters be defiled by scruffy, dirty and murderous idiots like the Boko Haram fighters. Those who have abandoned their divine roles as Men of God and chosen to defend those who pay blood soaked tithes into the coffers of their church should be visited by the leprosy of Ananias and Saphira.
In all, those guilty of dancing while the North East burned, while innocent people died in the Nyanya and Abuja bombing should be meted with the same punishment as those who were responsible for these killings. The truth must prevail and the guilty shall pay!
One would expected you, as thorough as this exoneration of apc, to do like wise, the role the north played, to set up this deadly organization, if you be fair to that. I chose anonymous because choices were limited.
