Fubara: The End of Beginning
Dr. Oni Gbolabo
1. According to Winston Churchill, former Prime Minister of the UK during the WW2, after the Allied Forces had chased Hitler out of all occupied territories he said “this is the beginning of the end, and there shall be no end until the end of the beginning”
2. Fubara began the beginning by signing a pact with a godfather, which is not known to Nigeria Constitution. It is their personal agreement nothing concerns the constitution with their agreement.
3. In order for the Godfather to consolidate his grip on the state government he sponsored 27 Assembly members and they won and became loyal.
4. Fubara too won and wanted to be governor as the law empowered him to be, but the Godfather brought his own law through his 27 loyal boys. Wike is not known to the state law so it will be useless to mention his name for now, rather we will mention the 27 boys.
5 Confrontation between the 27 boys and Fubara opened a conflict like a chess game between the state law and the 27 boys.
6. Governor on one side and the 27 foot soldiers on the other side. Beginning of the beginning of the conflict.
7. The inexperienced Governor wanted to be a super hero and stupidly demolished the State House of Assembly, his first step into tactical error, but there was nobody to tell him the truth. I can’t believe that a sane person will do that because of just 27 Assembly members.
8. Fubara in the plethora of ignorance preferred to co-opt 3 assembly members to preside over the state affairs while the 27 were gated out. What an award winning ignorance. If the idea of demolishing the Assembly House was effectual, where were the 3 members sitting? Foolish idea.
9. As notorious as the judiciary could be, did he expect the judiciary to say it is right for 3 members to take decision at the expense of 27 elected members? I think executives should be writing tests to ascertain their mental abilities or status.
10. Fubara eventually lost the case in court and simple reasoning demands that he will embrace them and trick them into an agreement of sort. No, rather began to castigate both the presidency and the 27 Assembly members. Olympic standard stupidity. When he knew he won’t abide with court verdict why did he go to the court?
11. Don’t be surprised that I didn’t mention Wiike since. I didn’t because he is not a legal entity in the matter. He is just a political entity. In case there’s another court case, his name won’t be mentioned because he is not the governor neither assembly member. So don’t waste time on him. The law didn’t recognize Wike here.
12. Rather than applying executive truce the same Fubara wanted to go tough. He made one of the most useless comments ever by any executive that HE WILL ORDER BOYS TO GO INTO DESTRUCTIVE ACTION.
13. The misguided and wrongly informed Fubara instigated chaos against himself as pipelines were blown up. He was simply pushed to misbehave and that was where he stopped facing the 27 boys and was now facing the Federal Republic of Nigeria. What a putrid ignorance.
14. This shows Fubara couldn’t manage his state and indirectly turned the war to “Fubara against the Federal Republic of Nigeria”. What a display of tactlessness. He simply caged himself into a position of an enemy of a bigger state, because that is economic sabotage and no country will sit down to watch it idly.
15. The man in charge of the Federal Republic of Nigeria responded by declaring a State of Emergency as it was done by Obasanjo in Plateau State and Ekiti State. There’s nothing new except someone deliberately choses stupidity over rationality.
16. Where are the people who hailed Fubara into the black hole? I want them to cite a law that prevented the President from declaring a State of Emergency when there is flagrant attacks on state economy. I need the law.
17. I have seen comments of those who cannot navigate a plot of land even with the aid of GPRS blaming the President. Same people will mess him up if he takes no action.
18. Note: I was against the impeachment of Fubara but he too could have applied sense. The most annoying aspect is, he will eventually pay their salaries and remuneration despite no work done. If he is lucky to come back.
19. He is a potential loser because after impeachment his kinsman will replace him and the battle will be shifted to their homestead.
20. Ademola Adeleke of Osun State knew his limit and he warned his chairmen not to go to the Secretariats because he knew what the end would likely be. When court warned APC to vacate office they did and went to court. No reasonable head will say occupying the Secretariat through violence will change what the Appeal Court stated.
.
For the sake of learning, I will welcome any logical argument that is contrary to these basic facts.
