This article is my comprehensive Response to the views of Dr. Daniel Bwala, the PDP’ s Spokesman in his recent interview by Arise News TV moderator in their London Studio.
I want to first and foremost suggest to Arise TV Management to frequently
project on their television screen not just the name of the person being interviewed but also the name of the moderator.
If the Management has done that, I would have mentioned the name of the moderator in person.
That said, I want any of you reading this rejoinder to understand, upfront that I am not a card carrying member or spokesperson for the APC like Dr. Bwala is to the PDP.
I write this rejoinder as an independent observer and as a concerned citizen of Nigeria who has once confessed that I would never have voted for the APC in the last election and that my doing that would have meant that I would never have voted for Tinubu only because I did not cherish the 8 year track record of the APC under President Buhari.
I confess to being one of the supporters of Buhari in 2015, but the guy had lost me within 180 days of his tenure as the President of Nigeria who had waited for 30 years in his passionate determination and struggle to want to be a civilian President of Nigeria just like Olusegun Obasanjo.
To me, Buhari was a huge disappointment and unmitigated disaster for Nigeria, all things considered.
Going into the last election, my candidate of choice was Peter Obi and he was the candidate I would have voted for even though I knew he could not govern if elected, because his Party the Labor Party did not have the structure on the ground to be able to govern Nigeria under the umbrella of the American Presidential Constitution our country has plagiarized.
I tell the truth as I know it and I don’t play games.
Even though I would never have voted for Atiku Abubakar but my passion for the truth has told me loud and clear that he was going to be the ultimate winner for the wrong reasons and that was an outcome the Hausa/ Fulani Power Brokers of Nigeria would have preferred because Atiku is a Fulani original and they prefer him to any southerner.
But the guy had blown his chances to win when he sluggishly allowed the PDP to break up into 4 factions as I have explained in many of my previous articles on the subject.
Atiku was a fool to have allowed that to happen under his leadership as the flag bearer of the PDP.
So I wasn’t surprised when Tinubu, some of whose political instincts and wizardry I like, had come from behind to win that election neat and clean.
I call Tinubu “the Osagyefo Emilokan, Ogiso Otolu Apaara Omo Olodo Ude. Ekun tan ni Keremu”
That said, I want to say how impressed I was with the neutrality of the moderator of that interview and the intellectual capacity and genius of Dr. Bwala who I hold in very high esteem because the guy has always impressed me as a brilliant and eloquent scholar who is on his way to becoming a senior advocate of Nigeria if he is not already one.
In criticizing Tinubu and his nascent Government which has only been in power for roughly 100 days Dr. Bwala has shown some political bias that does not fly with me
for the reasons I am going to underscore and itemize with the remaining paragraphs of this rejoinder.
Dr. Bwala has tried to rubbish and to dismiss with the wave of the hand all of the moderate accomplishments and achievements of President Tinubu and his Government in their first 100 days in office.
Dr. Bwala has condemned all of those achievements as grossly exaggerated and nothing to write home about.
I say to him “foul over the Bar” He was decidedly wrong to say that and I challenge him to a debate over his views and I ask Arise TV to arrange such a debate if they can.
I completely disagree with Dr. Daniel Bwala.
My Ifa Oracle has “pounda” I have clearly become a “turncoat”on Tinubu right now, and I have said it, time and again, without mincing words.
That guy who has succeeded where great minds and great politicians like Obafemi Awolowo and Ogbuefi Nnamdi Azikiwe and MKO Abiola have all failed, has impressed me as an “Ajagunmole Oluwo Orun” of Nigerian Politics
who is going to succeed in taking Nigeria to the promised land, if we tarry with him and if we give him a little time to prove his mettle.
My only doubt is whether or not Nigerians would be patient enough to let him.
Please don’t get me wrong Emilokan Tinubu is by no means a Saint or squeaky clean politician.
He has his own shortcomings galore like the rest of us, BUT and it is a big but Tinubu is a great strategist who knows where the shoes of Nigeria are pinching and he knows the ailment that has led to the death of Nigeria as a nation and where the body is buried.
Beni o!!! “Kun Faya Kun” “Allahu Aqbar”
“Nam Yoho Renge kyo” “It is so, and that is the way it is going to be”
I am not speaking in tongues like some of our pastors who are saying what just comes to their mouth.
You will find some of what I am saying in the Bible, in the Koran and and in Buddhist doctrine and “Isese” Doctrine. “Ko jo bi Uno ko gba bi Etu” for those of you who know what I am talking about.
My grandmother Erinlakatabu Deji Afunbiowo Adesida the First (1897-1957) was my greatest teacher and mentor. He was the greatest Ifa Priest that I knew.
That guy Tinubu is going to perform, if we let him.
You can write it down and put my name to it.
I disagree with Dr. Bwala’s criticism of FCT Minister Onyesom Wike.
President Tinubu had picked Wike as the best choice to clean up the FTC.
That guy Wike had made a nuisance of Atiku Abubakar as the flag bearer of the PDP and he could singlehandedly kill the PDP, if care is not taken.
I disagree with Dr. Bwala that Tinubu would fire Wike, if Atiku had wanted Wike fired.
That was a big lie. It was like “a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury but signifying nothing”
Part of the reason Tinubu is President today and not Atiku is because of Governor Onyesom Wike, the so- called “Rabble Rouser” who has now become part of the Corner Stone of the current Federal Government of Nigeria,believe it or not.
I also disagree with Dr. Bwala’s views on the judgment of the Tribunal and his insinuation and suggestion that the Supreme Court will not uphold and sustain the unanimous ruling of the Tribunal comprising of 5 amazing Judges.
I am disappointed that neither the Moderator nor Dr. Bwala was able to give credit to where credit belongs during their one hour exchange on television but neither of them was able to do that. They probably forgot.
So I am going to fill in the gap for them before I end this rejoinder.
I take off my hat to Senior Advocate of Nigeria the one and only lawyer Olanipekun the lead lawyer for Tinubu.
The learned Jurist, a product of Amoye Grammar School, Ikere under the Principalship of my Brother-in- law late Chief Samuel Falowo Adeniran of Akure.
Lawyer Olanipekun was allowed two days to address the Court and to close his case but he chose to do the job within a few hours telling the Court he only needed a few hours to close his case.
“Barrister lawyer Ako niwaju Adajo” the great Olanipekun had closed his case like the great QC Dingle Foot of the United Kingdom would have done in grand style.
He had closed his case with the wisdom of a King Solomon and the persistence of a Demon.
The Tribunal of 5 Erudite Judges had no other choice than to uphold all of the salient points he had made, word for word, and they dismissed the petition of both Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar who now say they are taking their case to the Supreme Court where they are doomed to meet the same fate.
You can again quote me on that because the Supreme Court is going to rely on all of the information passed on to them from the Tribunal.
I urge both Obi and Atiku to please
“Jawo ninu Apon ti o yo, kan lo gb’omi Ila k’ano. Eni mo o jo ti m’uru lo” in Yoruba Parlance like I once predicted in my previous article on Tinubu.
“Emilokan Tinubu” is President of Nigeria and no Jupiter can change that for now for Papa God “Adakedajo Atofarati bioke” has already put Tinubu there for the next 4 years barring any foreseeable development that only the same invincible God can unravel or change
I rest my case.
