As the country plunges deeper into chaos, Nigerians are watching Politicians and the ruling class actively causing, partaking and fuelling anarchy in Nigeria.
Defections to the APC
I was extremely amused when I heard President Buhari’s comment that Zamfara Governor, Dr Bello Matawalle, defected to the APC (All Regressives Congress) because of their exemplary performance in governance. With all due respect to the President, we all know that the performance of the APC is far from glowing, and the reason that Dr Matawalle defected is based on nothing else but self-interest – to secure his position as Governor for a second term, having got his first term by virtue of the courts.

The proposed amendments of the National Press Council (NPC) and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) is a sponsored legislative misadventure to undermine press freedom, strangulate free speech and undermine reportage on true but embarrassing government actions and policies. It is a wicked improvement on the obnoxious Media Bill, National Broadcasting Code and the Twitter ban. It is, in fact, a draconian bill that shares parentage with the infamous Decree 4 and the colonial Public Order Bill all of which sought to undermine reportage on wrongful government activities at the cost of truth and justice.

Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, yesterday clarified the position of the state government on the controversy between it and the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, over the custody of some looted Benin artefacts that Germany is planning to return to Nigeria, saying all actions taken so far were in the interest of all Edo people.
“The actions of the government thus far on this issue have been driven by selfless, patriotic considerations and in the best interest of Edo State and Edo people,” he said in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Osarodion Ogie, in Benin.
