Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon also speaks on fuel subsidy removal

"I have read with acatalectic disgust, governments asinine and puerile ratiocinations attempting to justiceate the proposed removal of subsidies from petroleum products. It has asseverated that it’s intentions is guided by the need to checkmate the odoriferous excesses of a machiavellian and mephistophelean cabal and i have said to myself, what a shame? What a self indicting admittal of the failure of governance? What anhocus-pocus? What an anathematous disdain for it’s citizenry?

Must the people now bear the brunt for governments ineptitude, inefficiency and pusillanimity in squaring up with these economic philistines and fat cows? I feel even more nauseated and vexed that the Governors Forum has posthaste conferred an apocalyptic imprimatur on this genie. Let’s not forget that majority of these same Governors had earlier called for this state of affairs as a condition sinequanon for paying the minimum wage. What an opprobrium? What a deprecable descent from the sublime to the ridiculous? It’s up to us all to put this Presidential and Gubernatorial genie back into the bottle but are we prepared?

Quote of the Day: Patrick Obahiagbon on EFCC Boss` Sack

The vaudeville of ratiocinations as to why Farida Waziri was committed to Presidential harakiri is not of the moment to me hoc loco.

It suffices for me to reiterate for the upteenth time that for any serious pugilism towards cleansing the Augean stables and cesspool of corruption to succeed in Nigeria, our major anti-corruption armada-the EFCC- must per force be extricated from executive suzerainty which renders it susceptible to odoriferous and harum scarum paternalistic intervention.

Save and until this is done in the mode of appointment of the anti-corruption czar, a guaranteed tenure and an unmanacled modus operandi, i dare posit that the fight itself suffers from an institutional thalidomide, abovo. Res Ipsa Loquitur.
