ATIKU ABUBAKAR, THE TOUGH GUY WANNABE

-

By Akin Ojumu

While announcing his choice of running mate for the 2023 Nigeria presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, made the following suspension of disbelief, I-don’t-believe-he-said-that, remarks.

“It is a difficult decision that I’m called upon to take. But I’m not afraid of taking difficult decisions. But as someone hoping to lead a complex country, such as ours, tough and difficult decisions will remain a part of my everyday life.”

Atiku Abubakar is not afraid of making difficult decisions? That really cracks me up, big time. I know cynical politicians lie and cheat all the time. Saying what they don’t mean and meaning what they don’t say is their modus operandi. But this comment by Atiku takes the customary gaslighting of the gullible electorate to a whole different level.

Just a few weeks ago, Atiku Abubakar demonstrated to all Nigerians that he is nothing but a weak and opportunistic human being unfit to lead a complex multi-religious and multi-ethnic country like Nigeria.

Here was a man who, upon being threatened by faceless Islamic terrorists and heartless criminals on social media, quickly deleted a social media comment he released to condemn the murder in cold blood of Deborah Samuel, the 200-level student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, in Sokoto State, who was accused of blaspheming Prophet Mohammed.

In the aftermath of the murder of Deborah Samuel, and the desecration of her deceased body by her murderers, the former Vice President and presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar, took to Facebook and Twitter to denounce the ghastly act committed against Ms. Samuel who was reported to have been beaten to death and burnt alive by male Muslim students who accused her of insulting Prophet Muhammed on a group’s WhatsApp forum.

Upon hearing the news about the gruesome incident, Atiku, on his social media handles, rightly condemned the incident, declaring that all those behind the killing must be brought to justice. Within a few short hours after posting his condemnation, however, the emasculated Atikulate, deleted the posts and went on to deny ever authorizing them to be posted in the first place, all because a handful of faceless religious fanatics with Islamic names responded to the posts by threatening to withdraw their support for his presidential ambition.

It is this same cowardly, craven, chicken-hearted, chicken-livered, lily-livered, dastardly, gutless, milk-livered, poltroon, pusillanimous, recreant, spineless – I could go on – man who wants Nigerians to now believe he is some tough no nonsense badass who’s not afraid of taking difficult decisions. 

The ballsyness of it all is laughable, and the silliness of the effrontery makes me wanna cry.

Makaryaciya!!! Tufia!!!!😡😡😡

FACT CHECK: DID BOLA TINUBU CALL FOR REDUCTION OF NIGERIANS’ PURCHASING POWER?

By Akin Ojumu  With respect to Bola Tinubu’s presidential aspiration, my position is pretty clear. Those who’ve been following my various commentaries on this issue know very well that I’m not a fan of Bola Tinubu and his unscrupulous campaign to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  My opposition to Bola Tinubu’s candidacy is visceral and intense. The man is a clear and present danger to the well-being of Nigeria, if he ever becomes president. BAT is an advanced metastatic cancer rapidly growing and spreading in the Nigeria polity. If the country must survive, this deadly cancer must be treated as all advanced cancers are treated; radical excision combined with several courses of radiotherapy and multiple cycles of chemotherapy cocktail in addition to the clearing of all associated lymph nodes. Now, there’s one thing I detest as much as Bola Tinubu’s presidential run, and that’s fake news. I cherish the truth, it’s the compass that guides us to safe shores. Wi

BECAUSE JOB DIDN’T TITHE, HIS LIFE BECAME TIGHT

By Akin Ojumu Being the trust-but-verify guy that I am, while fact-checking a social media post by one of my High School friends, in which Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted to have linked the adversity of Job to his tithing habit, I was shocked, but not at all surprised, to find a 2019 video that did indeed confirm what my good friend shared.  In Bishop Oyedepo's telling, the real cause of Job's afflictions was his failure to pay tithes. According to him, God removed Job's divine security and allowed Satan to buffet him with calamity because the man was a habitual tithe defaulter. Because Job didn't tithe, his life became really tight. Here is the Bishop in his own words: “You can't see anywhere where Job tithed. So, his blessing was not secured. You can't find anywhere where Job tithed. No! He was overly committed to giving liberally to the poor and God was committed to bless him. But there was no security.” Just so it's absolutely clear. Bishop Oyedepo's

YOU CAN’T LOVE NIGERIA & WANT BOLA TINUBU AS ITS PRESIDENT

By Akin Ojumu Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a stranger to Nigerians. The man with the Graves Disease eyes has been around a long time. BAT is a vector of deadly viral disease of pandemic proportions. He is a parasite that takes over everything his hand touches.  The following is just a sample of what Bola Tinubu, allegedly, did to Lagos State: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (Formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi – Valued at N450 Million A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land was Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979 Certificate of occupancy was signed and released to Tinubu by Fashola in 2007 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi – Valued at N600 Million Originally claimed to be by Oando Plc Guest House, it was later acquired by Tinubu from Oando Lagos State Government paid to rebuild and renovate, it then purchased it from Tinubu for an undisclosed sum. Subsequently, the State handed the property back to Tinubu under the Pension Bill he signed into law shortly before Tinubu left office in 2
