When corruption findings are against
those from our "camp" of the political divide, the findings suddenly
become "frivolous" and "as useless as they come". But in
the case of those from another "camp", a mere rumour from Oshiomhole
is more than enough to 'convict' the person in our kangaroo court.
We shouldn't have any sympathy for any
thief in whatever party but this is Nigeria. We don't criticize or go after the
thieves in "the same political camp" as us or thieves who we think have
"impliedly repented" by joining "the same camp" as us.
Even Saraki was a 'hero' until he
stepped on the toes of his traducers and he then suddenly 'regained' his
reputation as a thief.
If Diezani returns to Nigeria today and
starts to shout the right slogans and joins the right side of the political
divide and begins to abuse some people, our people would suddenly start to
defend their acts of gross perfidy against Nigeria.
If Amaechi should disagree with Baba
today, the same people defending him today would suddenly remember he's a
thief.
Is it for the partisan public to
determine who can stand "any form of scrutiny in any court of law"
or for the court to determine that by itself?
Nigerian political
elites do these stuff to keep each other in check. Mutually assured
Destruction. They will not move against you as long as join them.
Is this how we should define or treat the common incidences of serious corruption against the "oppressed masses" of Nigerians?
And somebody somewhere is talking about
morality and ideology.
Shaking my head for my country.
