Who Born the Maga: Thanksgivers

Here is the sequel to the "Who Born the Maga?" i posted a couple of weeks ago. When Olagunsoye Oyinlola  took over in 2003 it was a relief for many from the  AD/Bisi Akande government. The Akande Administration had relieved a lot of workers of their jobs and in 2003 pay back was a b*. Workers don’t forgive was the lesson I got out of that one. Oyinlola/Erelu  victory gave Osun hope. He fulfilled his campaign promise to reemploy. However the goodwill did not last. Osun sought a change but Aregbesola was denied his mandate.  We all know the story mind the mass rigging storm that took over in 2003. Litigation went on for 3 years and Aregebsola won the appeal. The whole process is history now. Let me get back to the point! Who born the Maga?

 On Sunday December 5 2010, PDP members from South West and other parts of Nigeria including former President Obasanjo, Governor Alao Akala of Oyo State, and Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State were in Osun State for a thanksgiving service. It was Oyinlola’s thanksgiving service.  He was giving thanks for the privilege to rule on stolen mandate. He got paid by the tax payers of Osun for almost four years on a stolen mandate.  Oyinlola is not the only one.  Edo, Ondo, Ekiti, had similar experience yet all the removed governors are free men today. No legal liability whatsoever for their actions.  Chief Obasanjo the initiator of EFCC and the brain behind the rigging storm was there to support his boy. Nigeria is truly waging war against corruption.

Recently, the George of the Jungle was released.  Apparently that is the new nickname for Olabode George. After sucking the Nigerian Port Authority resources he was sentenced to 2 years in prison. I really don’t think it was for the corrupt act but for some within party punishment. I say so because it was the same PDP government that sentenced him that celebrated his release.  Almost the same party members that attended Oyinlola’s thanksgiving were at George’s. The only difference is the president sent a representative. Is that an endorsement of corruption?  

Why haven’t we prosecuted any electoral officer since the court of appeal rulings last year? What about the governors (mostly PDP’s)? Nigerians are not fools and I take it as an insult if we are treated as one.  Who born the maga? Nigerians are not smiling! If the administration is really committed to a fight against corruption there should be a punishment for electoral mal practice. Imagine Oyinlola plansof going to the senate? Why should anyone be scared of rigging or stealing public fund if Oyinlola makes it to the senate or George being the new celebrity in town? Abeg  activate the power of  the thumb in April. Nigerians are not fools.
