PMB and Deja Vu


 Alex Ekwueme of the South East was Vice President when PMB toppled

Shagari's Government.

What followed was a prolonged Military Rule of Northerners culminating in Electing Obj of the South West as President to compensate for the death in detention of Abiola.

Today, it is the turn of the South East and PMB is acting ignorant of this fact.

I am not bothered about PMB'S apparent indecision in choosing a successor.

Rather I am concerned about the conditions precedent to a peaceful handover.

PMB it was who told us that we have no other country but Nigeria.

PMB as a serving Military patriot worsted Maitatsine.

Today, PMB appears more clueless than his predecessors in tackling the problems of insurgency.

Could it be, I ask myself a ploy to deny the Igbos of their mandate?

I have stated previously that my only interest in Igbo Presidency is nation building.

I believe allowing the Igbos to give Nigeria a President will forever banish the ghost of Marginalization.

I am Igbo but not from the South East.

What happens when the EFCC need to arrest the Army Chief? Whose help would they enlist? In a country where a traditional ruler surrenders to the police and the police hand him over to the army. Many people have been calling for military intervention but History teaches that humans do not learn from History, hence History keeps repeating itself. After about twenty five years of civilian rule without much to show for it, amnesia has set in and many are calling for military rule. Hmmmm. I wish such people luck but they should remember IBB and Abacha. The damage done by the duo still hurts us, but people feel the cure for a problem is a change of approach. Every system comes with it's challenges. It is like a person who feels the cure for a mechanical problem is a change of machine. Wh
