The Presidency on Sunday described former governor of Jigawa State Alh Sule Lamido as intellectually and morally bankrupt for daring to criticize President Buhari's ongoing anti-corruption war. Talking of moral bankruptcy the Presidency should remember the saying that "those in glass houses should not throw stones"! A person who led coup d'etat against a democratically elected government of Nigeria has no moral ground to accuse anyone of moral bankruptcy. According to our laws, the Constitution to be precise, the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall not be governed, nor shall any person or group of persons take control of the Government of Nigeria or any part thereof, except in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. Treasonable felony is the highest crime against any State anywhere in the world, so would it be moral for a person who committed the highest crime in our laws to now accuse anyone of moral bankruptcy? We are sure the Presidency and Nigerians are aware of who has complicity in this heinous crime against the State he now presides over!
President Buhari worked under one of the most corrupt governments in the history of Nigeria, so how can someone who worked under one of the corrupt governments in our history accuse anyone of moral bankruptcy?
The Presidency rightly stated that other countries are laughing at Nigeria, indeed these counties must laugh at the 220 million grass cutting saga! They will also laugh at Nigeria for restraining our wives to the other room! They will equally laugh at the $25billion NNPC contract scam! They will surely laugh at the $43 million NIA funds found in Osborne Towers in Ikoyi. To cap it all other countries must equally laugh at Nigeria for rats chasing away her President from office!
If there are leaders trying to weaken or destroy EFCC and the anti corruption in Nigeria it is the Presidency. The Presidency sweeps corruption under the carpet as rightly stated by a serving Senator of the Federal Republic. The Presidency swept under the carpet the NIA loot found in Ikoyi, the grass cutting scandal by the SGF, the Maina saga, the NNPC $25billion contract scam among others.
The simple truth is that the Presidency is jittery over Lamido's presidential ambition, his popularity and his political antecedents. Taking into cognizance his achievements as the governor of Jigawa State and the monumental developments he brought to the State, it is needless to say why the Presidency is jittery.
As a Nigerian, Sule Lamido has a right as enshrined in the Constitution, a right to freedom of expression and this right should not be alienated by the Presidency. So as part of his civic right, Sule Lamido felt that the Presidency has not done enough in the fight against corruption and he has exercised his right to freedom of expression but instead of the Presidency to thank him for performing his civic duties, the Presidency is insulting him instead.
The reference to the ongoing case against Sule Lamido by the Presidency, is no doubt an attempt by the Presidency to preempt the decision of the court which is sub judicial.
