SIM FUBARA: A STORMY WEATHER

When you are faced with consistent bullying, it gets to a point where you will stand back and say – oya let’s fight. I think that my brother Sim has just reloaded his SIM card. He is now beginning to sound like a man, unlike those early days when he was wimpish and almost cowardly. These people that “put” him there have been all so irritatingly annoying in the way and manner they have been going about their relationship with their “boy.” The arrogant approach to whatever is their agenda reeks of a lack of regard for our intuitions and laws as a people. So you can imagine my joy when Sim announced that these people were no longer legislators and as such he would not recognise them. He was even reported to have withheld allocations to the local government chairmen who seem to be part of the charade that is going on in that state. Every right-thinking Nigerian should be behind Sim in this fight because this is a fight that if lost would have dire consequences on the rule of law. You can’t just wake up in the morning, and decide that you no longer want a sitting governor just like that. When you were pushing his candidacy against the will of the people, he was good now for whatever reason, you no longer find favour in him, and you want to remove him just like that, na lie, we will not agree. Leave him alone, let him serve his four years and after that let the people decide who or what they want. We cannot continue to be slaves and serve under a foul breath, dancing dictator who has only his interest at heart. Tufiakwa.
