THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FGYB AND CHIEF AYODELE FAYOSE, OTHERS IS CLEAR.
—You can’t compare a stone with mud .
By Otori Ozigi.
For starters, the above analogy was taken from the beautiful songs of a legendary musician in Ebiraland,Late Isah Eromi, from Ihima town, whose long history of great performance have remained ever green in our collective memories till date.
I have listened with rapt attention to those who are advising my brother, the former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello,to submit himself to forces of darkness and corruption, masquerading as the EFCC.
I have a few things to say to this unsolicited advice from those who are ignorant of the real issues between the antigraft agency and the former governor.
First,we need to understand that the former governor of Kogi State and Chief Ayodele Fayole are poles apart in both character and educational background.
Without trying to denigrate the background of Fayose,it is common knowledge that he is not properly educated.
And all his gra gra ended after the expiration of his immunity.
I think he is a local palm wine tapper now or whatever.
If my memory serves me well ,I think Chief Fayose barely finished his HND program from Ibadan Polytechnic.
Please I stand to be corrected.
In the case of FGYB,he is known to hold a first degree in Accounting from the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University,Zaria.
His uncle who brought him up is a highly respected Professor in the whole world today.
He has a Masters in the same discipline and also a chartered Accountant among other professional resume in his kitty.
Recall that he was the first governor of Kogi State who is a graduate.
The 3 others before him are not so educated,abi initio.
Permit me not to digress further on the foregoing.
Back to the topic of our discussion.
It is instructive to point out that the other former governors , including the garrulous Chief Fayose did not pass through vicious and prolonged media trials in the hands of EFCC.
We are all aware that EFCC have engaged in sustained media banditry against FGYB in the last 8 years and still counting.
The agency have pushed the former governor far beyond the wall.
Only a weakling and a bastard would not fight back, particularly when one is convinced of your innocence.
Forget all their tissues of fake news and empty boasts , when the die is cast and the chips are down,we shall know who blinks first.
For the first time in Nigeria history, the antigraft agency have met their match in the white lion himself.
I hereby challenge the chairman of EFCC or it’s Spoke person to 1 hr live debate on Channels Television and let them convince the whole world why they are pressing trump up charges of unverified alleged fraudulent activity against the former governor.
I’m waiting for them.
Meanwhile, let me remind the useless EFCC that this time around they have chosen the wrong guy.
True,FGYB is not ready to settle.
No matter the level of blackmail and intimidating gra gra from the Chairman of the agency, nobody can intimidate FGYB or all his foot soldiers and loyalists like me.
And nobody can run anyone out of town.
We are all Nigerians.
And equal stakeholders for that matter.
Nigeria belong to all of us.
Our key institutions in the country like EFCC or INEC should borrow a leaf from the judiciary and uphold the highest tennet of professionalism in their public conducts
Many Nigerians, including the international community have since lost confidence in the credibility of EFCC and INEC.
That’s the gospel truth.
And I’m not the only one saying this.
The President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, should send a bill to the National Assembly for the immediate and urgent review of the acts setting up these two key institutions in the country today.
EFCC and INEC have outlived their usefulness.
Time to disband them is now.
The whole world is laughing and mocking us, the so-called giant of Africa for that matter.
Please make me the Chairman of EFCC or INEC and I will bring sanity to these key institutions in the country in record time.
If you ask me,a tested and patriotic journalist would even do better than all these Professors and halfbaked hungry lawyers masquerading as Chairman of EFCC or INEC.
Unbridled corruption have eaten deep into the fabrics of the two key institutions.
There is a renewed hope for Nigeria under the President.
Yes.
He has what it takes to take us to the promise land.
I so strongly believe in his capacity and competence
If EFCC or INEC is a nagging problem he should have the courage to disband them.
And let Nigeria and Nigerians have peace .
These two critical institutions have brought enough shame and opprobrium to the country over the years.
There is nothing good about them and that is the gospel truth
Good morning fellow Nigerians.
Leave FGYB alone and put your house in order first.
A professional thieves cannot be investigating and casting aspersions on innocent people.
The other day the useless Chaiman of EFCC claims he personally called FGYB to come over for investigation.
Who does that?
Please stop all these unprofessional way of fighting corruption.
How can corruption fight corruption?
Who is deceiving who?
I thank God and my late sweet mother for my quality education and exposure in life.
I come in peace.
