Playing bad song yet accusing us of bad dance

- Abdulrahma­n Yunusa

On countless occasions the federal government has contradict­ed itself on governance. They never cease to blame the masses over lapses which apparently is their fault and they do that just to dodge the resentment and criticism from their critics.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo accused Nigerians of not telling them (Presidency) the truth about the state of the country. And on that same day, Dr Usman Bugaje got detained for telling them the bitter truth on insecurity that is fast ravaging the country. Yet, do they still have audacity to say we are not telling them “the truth”? Rather, it is their excessive hatred towards truth that always drives them go mad.

The Pastor VP sounds ironical. His boss is always trying to prove him wrong whenever he goes hard to cajole Nigerians over worsening issues as the current ones. I can’t forget there was a time when Osinbajo saked Lawal Daura over some filthy allegation­s that worth such decisive action but what happened when his boss landed back to Nigeria was totally insipid and very irritating.

Now that they are beating around the bush looking for excuses to the current awful security situation in the country, they can afford to slap their faces just to lure citizens to believe that they are really trying, still not knowing that the masses are now better informed.

Keep dancing to the gallery, you shall die and you will give the account of all that you did as leaders. And you can’t escape that, it’s an inescapabl­e trap ahead of you, but if you are smart like Smart Adeyemi of Kogi State, you should tell yourself the bitter truth and do the needful in order to have a soft interrogat­ion. And you can only enjoy that when you deliver your people from the dungeon of misery which they have found themselves in as a result of your poor performanc­e in government.

Until FG treat us all as equal, they will never have it easy to rule the shabby country because many will keep misbehavin­g for, they are feeling they are untouchabl­e to anyone.

May Allah rescue us all.
