The day before yesterday we were told by the First
Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, that her husband was not as ill as most of us believed
and that despite his obvious challenges he has continued to “carry out his
responsibilities”.
On the same day the media went to great lengths to convince us, without providing any pictures, that the President had resumed work and that he had had a series of fruitful and productive meetings with his Minister of Justice and the Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) respectively.
On the same day the media went to great lengths to convince us, without providing any pictures, that the President had resumed work and that he had had a series of fruitful and productive meetings with his Minister of Justice and the Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) respectively.
They assured us that he would definitely preside
over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting which was scheduled to hold
the following day. All of these assertions proved to be false. Buhari has now
missed his FOURTH Federal Executive Council meeting in a row due to his chronic
and debilitating ill health.
Whoever is holding this poor, frail, sick and
elderly man to ransom and keeping him in the Presidential Villa, probably
against his will, is wicked and ungodly and he or she is committing a grave sin
against God and the Nigerian people.
It is clear that the President is no longer fit to
govern. It is obvious that his time is almost up. It is self-evident that for
him the bell is tolling. It is incontrivertable that those around him have held
him captive and are indulging in what I once described in an essay that I wrote
seven years during the last days of President Umaru Yar’adua as “corpsocracy”.
Late Umaru Musa Yar’adua

The essay was titled ”Corpocracy: A Gift From Umaru
To The Modern World”. Simply put corpsocracy means the rulership of the living
by the dead. It is the art of hiding a walking corpse, a comatose zombie or
what some have described as the “living dead” in a cupboard in the Presidential
Villa, telling the world that it is hale and hearty and then ruling and running
the country in its name.
This is what happened during Yar’adua’s last four
months on earth whilst he still had one foot in the land of the living and it
is happening to Buhari today. Such was the ruthless and cold-blooded deception
that Yar’adua’s inner circle brought into the equation that they managed to
convince the Nigerian people and indeed the entire world that a President that
was totally comatose and literally brain-dead managed to sign the 2010 budget
all the way from dream-land.
They also managed to conjure up a fake but
convincing telephone interview with the … television service which millions of
unsuspecting viewers, including yours truly, watched and listened to from all
over the world. Such was the angst of the management of the … when the truth
was unearthed and they finally discovered that they had been misled, conned,
duped and used that the northern Nigerian woman that organised the so-called
“interview”, passing off Yar’adua’s brother’s voice as Yar’adua himself, was
expeditiously and unceremoniously sacked. Her name was …. and she was the head
of the … at the time. She was also a double agent of both the MI6, the United
Kingdom’s secretive international spy agency and Nigeria’s external spy agency
known as the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). One is constrained to ask:
what have the Nigerian people not been subjected to or seen?
All these dirty games conducted in a sqaulid and
sordid attempt to hold on to power at all costs. Yet worse of all are the
nauseating mendacities that the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, keeps
churning out.
Yesterday he told us that Buhari did not attend the
FEC meeting this week because he was “still resting”. Equally amusing was the
absurd assertion from the Minister of Transport, as Rotimi Amaechi, who claims
that he “is not corrupt” and that he “does not like money” and who told
Nigerians that Buhari was now “putting on weight”, was “much better” and that
he was “fit enough to run for the Presidency in 2019”.
President Muhammadu Buhari |
Honestly one wonders if these creatures have any
genuine love and compassion for their principal because if they did instead of
telling us lies about his medical condition they would simply get on their
knees and beg him to resign. One wonders if they have any shame.
It is very clear to me that they are all under an
accursed hex or Luciferean spell. They have been bound and blinded in body,
spirit and soul. This is a classic case of the Living God hardening Pharaoh’s
heart unto destruction. Yet sadly those in power, including Buhari himself, are
so obsessed with that power that they cannot see it.
Instead of letting God’s people go and bringing to
an end the wickedness, persecution, slaughter and destruction of their
perceived enemies, the Buhari administration has gone into full throttle and
unleashed even more havoc on members of the opposition and those that they
hate. A few examples will suffice. A couple of weeks ago when my younger
brother Mr. Deji Adeyanju, the stormy petrel of Nigerian political activism,
together with his equally dynamic colleague Mr. Ariyo Dare Atoye, organised
protest marches across the country demanding for the release of the great
Biafran leader and irrepressable Igbo nationalist Prince Nnamdi Kanu, they were
both promptly arrested and briefly detained by the police.
The same thing happened to them again in Abuja a few
days later after they organised yet another demonstration, this time calling
for the release of two online bloggers and journalists, Mr. Austin Okai and
Miss Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo. It didn’t stop there. Two days ago the Southern
Kaduna’s Peoples Union (SOKAPU) went on a march in Unity Square, Abuja
protesting about the continued mass murder, genocide, butchering and ethnic
cleansing of their Christian brothers and sisters and people by Buhari’s
kinsmen, the Fulani militias and herdsmen.
Amongst their
ranks was the courageous, refreshing, young, articulate, brilliant and bright
rising star of Nigeria’s Middle Belt zone, Miss Ndi Kato. Sadly instead of
being treated with sensitivity and compassion and being given assurances that
the killings would stop and the killers would be brought to justice, they were
insulted, beaten, brutalised and dispersed with batons and tear gas by the
Nigerian police. When elements of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group led by
Mrs. Aisha Yesufu joined them as a mark of solidarity, they were brutalised and
dispersed as well.
Worse still Aliyu Babangida, the former Governor of
Niger State, Sule Lamido, the former Governor of Jigawa state, Ibrahim El Zak
Zaky, the leader of Nigeria’s Shiite Muslims, Sambo Dasuki, the former National
Security Advisor to President Goodluck Jonathan and countless other opposition
leaders and opponents of the government remain languishing in detention cells
and prisons all over the country whilst plans are afoot to frame up and arrest
numerous others like the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
This is clearly a government and a President of “no
going back”. Like Shakespeare’s Macbeth they are “so far steeped in blood that
should they wade no more, returning would be as tedious as to go over”. Yet the
price for their chosen path, their sheer cruelty and callousness and their
sanguine disposition is very high.
It is not just a matter of Buhari possibly dying in
office as a consequence of whatever it is that has afflicted him but also what
the aftermath of his death will bring. Baba Bisi Akande, a leading member of
the APC and one of the most reverred and credible figures in the country, has
already fired a warning shot on behalf of the Vice President and the south-west
by saying that nobody should mistake 2017 for 1993. For those that are too
young to know what he is saying is that if Buhari dies no-one should dream of
scuttling Professor Yemi Osinbajo’s succession and thereby deprive the
south-west of the Presidency like they did in 1993 when Chief MKO Abiola’s
mandate was annuled by the northern military simply because they did not want a
southern President.
This is a timely and useful intervention by Baba
Akande but sadly it has fallen on deaf ears. The cabal and the
ultra-conservative core north (which is the constituency that Buhari
represents) has already made up its mind. As a matter of fact the spokesman of
the Northern Patriotic Assembly issued a prompt response to him yesterday and
warned him and other “leaders from the south-west” to desist from making what
they described as “such immoral and despicable statements”.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo |
Again at the instance of the northern elders and
leaders, the APC Youth Wing issued an even sterner warning and advised Akande
to “go for a physchiatric test” for suggesting that the ill health of the
President was taking its toll on the nation. As far as these people are
concerned the Presidency of Nigeria belongs to the north and whether Buhari
lives or dies, it must stay there.

Worse still their view is that if they cannot have
it then nobody will. That is the beastly mindset of those that we are
contending with. And those that suffer from it will certainly come to an
equally beastly end. The truth is that President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration and those that they represent …. They have been rejected by the
Living God. His is a government of compulsive liars, sadistic tyrants,
blood-thirsty pyschopaths, closet kleptomaniacs, ethnic supremacists, radical
Islamists, skull and bone diviners and voodoo merchants. The fact of the matter
is that whether they like it or not we are entering the end game. Everything is
coming to a head.
The next few months will be instructive and critical
and much will happen that will surprise and shock the world and the Nigerian
people. To the spiritually sensitive and discerning one thing is clear: this
dispensation is almost over. The beast is dying. The flesh is rotting. The
vultures are gathering. The sky has turned black and a new era approaches.
Yet even in sickness, death and decay the tyrant and
his followers revel in deception, treachery, doublespeak, blood-lust and
wickedness. My advice to them is to humble themselves and FEAR GOD before it is
too late! My counsel to them is to let this sick and elderly man resign in
peace and allow him to go home to take care of his health and make his peace
with God.
My appeal to them is to be sensitive to the Spirit
and to recognise the fact that he has been struck and mortally wounded by the
sword of the Lord. My prayer to them is to accept the fact that he has been
pierced with the arrow of God, he has been hit by the east wind of destruction,
he has been afflicted with a deep spiritual wound and he is suffering from
God’s judgement: it is time for him to GO! ----
