The governor of Oyo state His excellency Governor Seyi Makinde recently held a press conference where he accused the President of Nigeria Bola Ahmed Tinubu of betraying the agreement they had before he supported the President for his election.

Makinde was to nominate a minister which he did but his candidate was not appointed and he promised not support the President's second term bid.

However and to the surprise of everyone Makinde went back to Aso rock thereafter to visit the President and the question everyone is asking is why does he have to pay another political visit to the President after the press conference.

 

Was it to beg Tinubu for speaking so loudly about his dissension with regards to the 2027 election which of course is popular in certain quarters and to rewrite himself in the good book of the President without the President's enemies knowing what is going on so he will be popular with the President's enemies and still be good in the President's books.

 

But isn't that rather crooked. Like Robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The President of course decided to keep him at arm length in the mean time and since then Makinde has been firing different kinds of salvos at the President who had resorted to reply the Oyo state governor with silence.

What's the difference between Fubara and Makinde?

 

They have a lot in common don't they. Desirous to be acceptable like Tinubu or Wike  but not willing to pay the price.

Always playing to the gallery for cheap popularity but never able bear the cost.

 

Fubara wants to fight Wike but is looking for Tinubu to fight Wike for him so he can enjoy the victory.

Makinde wants to grow but wants to use Tinubu to grow like he used Ajimobi.

One needs to be very careful with all these little characters looking for desperate leaders to use for their ego trips.

Recently Makinde remarked that the federal government does not listen to the truth.

For long the military in Nigeria has seen themselves as being Just a little above the law.

 

At a time they forced themselves on the nation as the de-factor rulers and today many right thinking Nigerians still believe they are the foundations of the nation's woes.

 

The encounter between Minister of the federal republic of Nigeria Nyeson Wike and Lt. Yerrima of the Nigeria naval forces again brought to the fore the lazy impression of some military officers that they are a superior being.

Which is true but not under questionable circumstances like protecting a purportedly illegal land allocation.

Land allocation administration in Abuja falls under the purview of the federal capital Territory Minister.

 

So it is not out place for him to personally oversee the evacuation order in this instance even though officers of the Nigerian navy command should have been a lot better addressed.

 

But the Minister was clearly frustrated by the antics of the military bigwigs who use the influence of the military to cover their frauds and there are plenty of it in Nigeria.

However because of a few bad eggs the military should not be subjected to any form of disrepute. They gallantly stand in for the nation when others cannot. 

It is unethical to impose millitary might in civil matters because that's the jurisdiction of the civilians and military officers must accept the route of judicious undertakings.

If not clashes like this would be inevitable. 

 

Overall humility has not been Nigerians best characteristic and everyone seeks for ways by which he can arrogantly oppress his fellow Nigerian.

A reason in my own opinion many join the military and not really because of that desire to serve the nation
