WHAT SEEKEST THOU, OSINBAJO?

The politics of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is truly confusing and getting murkier by the day. Unwittingly or so, Prof. Osinbajo has become headline-provider for Jonathan-cynic newspapers. The way Nigerian politics is laid out, like in Lebanon, the two top offices are necessarily shared by a Christian-Muslim, Muslim-Christian arrangement in Nigeria or a Muslim-Christian arrangement in Lebanon. The Christian top dog therein is expected to provide tenable counter-measures to the Muslim top dog, in a marriage-ofconvenience mode of things, as it were. It is not so that the Christian top dog go over the top and holler that “Christians and Southerners are the beneficiaries of this Buhari government” or that “a Christian called Goodluck Jonathan divvied-up so much billions of naira just before the 2015 general elections so this All Progressives Congress government cannot build roads and bridges before 2019.” What does Yemi Osinbajo want? Why is he ingratiating himself so much to the Northern establishment? Prof. Osinbajo should know that Nigeria of today is a hellhole for Christians: Boko Haram lashes Christians, Fulani terrorists lash Christians, and now this APC government lashes out at Christians (just imagine the fake $9 million Paul Boroh storyline that got this retired army officer into EFCC custody and the fact that the Christian Chibok girls are still rotting in Boko Haram custody plus the fact of their forced Islamisation but the Muslim Dapchi girls were released quite unharmed). Nigeria is bad for Christians as it is without Prof. Osinbajo making it any worse. Sunday Adole Jonah, Department of Physics, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State
