I read Femi Fani-Kayode's account or confession about his former boss and nation's President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo being an impostor - he revealed how Umar Yar Adua was imposed on the entire nation as the successor to "Baba Iyabo".

There is nothing new in what Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has said. I doubt if any literate Nigerian is persuaded with all the tales of woes he gave in his interview. He needs to tell the whole world also that he was acting under instruction when as a Presidential Adviser, he was doing the hatchet-man job with his tongue lashing tactics directed at elderly people identified to have opposing views to OBJ. Femi-Fani-Kayode cannot contest the fact that his elevation to the post of Former Minister of Aviation was a reward for doing the assigned tasks well by his former boss, Chief Obasanjo.

The various revelations after the exit of the last administration led by President Olusegun Obasanjo have proven beyond reasonable doubt the vaildity of that philosophical sayings "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely". So many cans of worms have been exposed - ranging from illegal possession by favourites of the former President of seized landed properties in many cities in Nigeria, to disbursement of funds for projects not executed especially about power distribution and the bastardisation of the electoral process.

Posterity will certainly judge all men in whatever positions of authorities they occupy by virtue of the supposedly mandate the masses have given them to govern, as they will surely have to face the law of retributive justice, later in life. Public offices are not for sycophancy neither are they for boo-licking or mudslingings as the likes of Chief Femi-Fani-Kayode have exhibited, yet without any control on their excesses by the former President. Public offices are for service, simplicita! The nation's citizens and residents deserve better deals than our politicians have offered since the first republic till date.

Imposition or no imposition, what is the relationship between OBJ and President Umar Yar Adua now? The lesson learnt is that whatever is not built on sound principle and truth does not stand long.

Why this caption, did Obasanjo impose Yar, Adua on U.S or on us? Stop the desperation at getting clicks if that,s your aim. Posting a headline like this will only spell you out as un co-ordinated and a half baked journalist.Importantly, why is now the time to come out and make noises, did he not support the same Obasanjo then? Posterity will put you and others like you on the wrong side of history if you even believe in history. All those working day and night to make life hard for the coming generation, posterity is waiting for you and your families.

It is a slave mentality to conclude that Man A imposed Man B on Man C. That would be tantamount to saying that Man C has no free will of his own, cannot think independently, therefore, was compelled to behave involuntarily against his conscience. To me, that is condescending to Nigerian voters. Lest we forget that EFCC conducted an in-depth research and evaluation of all the 36 governors of the day, of which only 2 of them were deemed clean enough to hold the office of head of state before Mr. Obasanjo threw his weight behind the consensus choice, given the North’s agitation to get power back as if it is their birth-right and the South’s acquiescence. If the majority of Nigerians overwhelmingly voted for Alhaji YarAdua on the strength of Mr. Obasanjo’s indefatigable campaign for him, then, the Nigerian public knew that Mr. Obasanjo's administration is different from what they have been getting in the past and they wanted his reform to continue, therefore, would have voted for Obasanjo’s 3rd Term if the corrupt legislature had truly serve the interest of the public they pretended to represent. We all now know why the Legislature voted down the so called “3rd-Term Agenda” because they prefer the status quo wherein the old corrupt cabal can regain their supremacy – 2 steps forward, 20 steps backwards. If YarAdua had been trustworthy in keeping his promise to continue the reform policies of his benefactor, we would not be in this mess today. But who would have thought that Yar could be this treacherous, spineless, and clueless. Until Nigerians honestly admit that they made a mistake of listening to external forces that bamboozled them into jettisoning the best leadership we ever had, so long we will be condemned to keep going round and round in a widening gyre, instead of thinking critically on what is in our best national interest. Perhaps Nigerians could learn from the Ugandans, Nigeriens and Ghanaian, who patiently but tenaciously held on to their benevolent dictators - Museveni, Tandja and Rawlings (for 20 years) to clean out the stable before bringing in fresh horses for the next race. Nigerians ignorantly wanted their "dividends of democracy" NOW as if democracy is an event that you snap your fingers at and get it. It takes minutes to destroy structures that would take decades & dedicated generations to put humpty-dumpty back together. Go figure.

who is this man that is saying foolish things today,where was he when he and his so called president were busy sharing the nations ,treasure, just because they refuse to give to him any post now he is crying and making useless noise, it is too late to cry when the head is off, you better shut up. you were the ones that were supporting obasanlo then in government defending him, when Nigerians crying foul. we need not your voice now if you were in government today you will be quit, leave us alone and face your fate.
