No, I did not see Nuhu needing something so little as being a governor. No, Nuhu was already a President in many of our hearts. We believed he was a true man who would rather be broke, poor, jobless and forgotten, than be in the limelight, dining with thieves and sponsors of terror.
We never saw APC as a political party that was constituted of people starkly different from the PDP, however APC not being in power gave it the excuse of not being the PDP party that had ruled for 15 straight years and plundered the nation dry and created 100 million desolate Nigerians living under a dollar a day while in parallel, making the most cabal millionaires and billionaires, the most private jet owner cabals in the world and making their handful of cabal coterie the world’s richest men. Yes, APC could perchance, perchance do something better, but PDP had already shown it was signed up with Satan. It already had too much blood on its hands. The den of killers as Soyinka promptly identified it. The Bible says, “Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. (Prov 29:24).”
Nuhu Ribadu became friends of thieves. He joined the party that had punished Nigeria for 15 straight years. It is better to hide under a rock till death takes you than to be part of this ruling evil.
While many of us who of course are far from perfect, keep fighting, keep encouraging ourselves to suffer, yet forge-on to protect our hearts and this society, to do more good and shun more evil, and give our children some few remnants of value to emulate, with hope that someday our struggle can become easier and good character and consciousness can be more common place; we lost one of our finest. After 27 years, something did change in South Africa, and patience made Mandela President. He never sold out. But we are not even in jail, yet we are selling and selling fast!I feel really terrible, but I will continue to have hope in my people. Because the Lord says that after every, every single period of trial, there is a period of respite. Bye, bye, Nuhu. Bye, bye to your esteemed memory. You mean nothing to us.[eap_ad_3]
