…Blasts Aregbesola for anti-masses policies
A human rights activist and member of the opposition groups in the
country, Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman has declared that the present
administration of General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) have no economy blue
print for the country, saying that the present administration has not
given any economy direction to the country than the mere propaganda by
his party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
Comrade Sulaiman also described the menace of corruption as the bane
of economy and political crisis facing the country, calling for urgent
action from the government at all levels with the cooperation of the
Nigeria masses to stamp out the cankerworm out of nations' system,
adding that Buhari's government failed to assert its position on
whether to remove the oil subsidy or not.
The rights activist however, blasts Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun
State for his anti-people policies, stressing that Aregbesola was a
disgrace personality to the human rights community in Nigeria which he
claimed to be part of it in the past, alleging that some known members
of the community were given liver to Aregbesola's government to
continue with anti-masses agenda, to the extent of running the State
aground in the face allocations accrue to the State from Federation
Account.
He alleged that Aregbesola has run the State aground by putting Osun
State into bankruptcy with the incurring of billion of naira loan in
almost commercial banks in the country, adding that "despite the
Aregbesola's loan incurred from almost all the commercial banks in
Nigeria in the last five years, but what we saw in return ,was
Governor Aregbesola to declare openly that the financial crisis facing
the State was beyond his capacity and instead for Mr. Aregbesola to
resign honourably ,he sent his groomed thugs popularly known as "STATE
BOYS" to disrupt a peaceful mass protest against his on Tuesday, July
7th,2015,where the thugs were directed to take my life for no just
reason than being the leader of the human rights' and Civil Societies
Organization(CSO) that has been critics of his government".
Speaking yesterday in Lagos State as a guest speaker on the
lecture/symposium entitled:"Degenerating Economy and Political
Crisis, which way forward for Nigeria" organized by the National
Conscience Party(NCP) to mark its 21st formation anniversary of the
party /independence lecture symposium, held at the Gani Fawehinmi
Memorial Organization(GAFAMORG) office hall at Olayinka Bamigbose,
off Olowu, Ikeja,Sulaiman who is the Chairman, Civil Societies
Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State(CSCEO) further stressed
that Buhari's administration was full of denial and lies of
electioneering campaign promises, faulting President Buhari's body
language of looking for foreign help to solve the mirage of problems
facing the country.
According to the CSCEO boss, "Presently, Nigeria economy is nothing to
write home about, because the present administration of Buhari does
not give any meaningful economy direction to the nation. Nigeria
people believed that immediately after Buhari was sworn-in, as elected
President and Commander –in- Chief of Armed Forces on May 29th, 2015,
action would commence on redirection of the nation's economy but till
the present moment, President Buhari is looking for external help to
fix the Nigeria degenerating economy.
"To my surprise, Buhari could not assert his government position,
whether to remove oil subsidy or not. Before he came into power, he
posited that the fuel subsidy was a fraud of highest order and conduit
pipe where few elements in the land, were using to siphone the
commonwealth of the country into private pocket, but when he came, he
continues in that direction, what a double speak and deal? And this is
the reason why nothing changes in our economy till today. I want to
say unequivocally that General Muahhmmadu Buhari (rtd) does not have
any economy blue print for Nigeria and the nations' masses will
continue wallowing in abject poverty and my heart bleed for those who
supported them dogmatically during the electioneering process without
asking a question. I strongly hold that it is very much in the
national interest and national security to speak against the ills in
our society, no matter whose ox is gored".
Sulaiman added that, "There is no way Buhari could fight the menace of
corruption in the land without cleansing his own dirtiness because a
leader should lead by a good example. But how somebody that call
himself a "man of integrity?" would not ask where his party men source
for fund to sponsor his electioneering campaign or do we ask somebody
that told Nigeria people during the electioneering process that he
borrowed money from Commercial bank to obtain his party's nomination
form for presidential contest at the rate of over #27million.
"I am very sure and I stand to be corrected that Muhammadu Buhari's
administration fights against corruption will fail because Buhari is
not ready to fight corruption within his party and Yoruba adage says,
'Charity must begin at home', you could understand this position with
Buhari's body language and you will see that this government will be
at the end of the day, be the government as usual. President Buhari
would not be able to succeed in his fight against corruption with the
advice of Professor Itse Sagay as Chairman, Presidential Advisory
Committee on Anti-Corruption".
