It has been brought to my attention that
heavily armed operatives of the SSS have
stormed the home of my friend and
brother Mallam Nasir El Rufai. What was
his crime? He stated the obvious and told
the truth- namely that if the Presidential
elections are rigged in 2015 by the ruling
PDP the people would rise up and there
would be terrible violence and colossal
casualties.
As far as I am concerned he is simply
stating the obvious. It is only those that
are planning to rig that have a problem
with this bitter truth. Nasir was simply
counselling them about the natural
consequences of their intended criminal
actions yet the government appears to be
hell bent on charting the course of
oppression, intimidation and the
suppression of human rights, including
the right to the freedom of speech.
El Rufai has sent a strong warning and,
whether they like it or not, locking him up
will change nothing. Whilst no-one wants
violence and even though some of us
abhor it let it be clearly understood that if
anyone is hurt, maimed or loses their life
as a consequence of PDP-rigging in 2015
the blame and responsibility will lie
squarely on the shoulders of President
Goodluck Jonathan and his PDP who are
hell-bent on staying in power at all costs.
It is only a weak and nervous government
that has lost it's moral compass, that has
no respect for human rights and that is
devoid of any conscience that behaves in
this way.
