On hindsight, it is becoming glaring that the EFCC's latest "
discovery" of millions of dollars in Lagos and other such discoveries are
nothing but charade.
"Most people who have deep emotional investment in Nigeria
know that unbelievably enormous and conscienceless theft of the public treasury
took place in the Goodluck Jonathan administration."
“But we need to be a little circumspect here. Given that the EFCC
has become the poodle of the president and the most potent propaganda arm of
the APC, I take anything from it with a pinch of salt.”
“The president has nine media aides and a vast, well-oiled
propaganda centre. They are now working day and night to distract the attention
of the Nigerian people from the crying incompetence of the administration and
from the profound hurt the incompetence, clannishness and unpreparedness of the
administration are wreaking on Nigeria.
“The more nakedly transparent the cluelessness and ineptitude of
the administration become, the more propaganda will be unleashed to the
Nigerian people to absolve it of responsibility for its own incompetent choices
or lack thereof.”
“More millions and billions in raw cash will be discovered in the
houses of past government officials in the coming days. Of course, none of the
insanely corrupt officials of the Buhari administration will be investigated,
much less found guilty of hoarding large sums of money, by the EFCC. That has
zero propaganda value.”
"The narrative that these EFCC ‘discoveries’ want to give
fresh life to is the idea that it is Jonathan, not Buhari, who is responsible
for the current terrible state of Nigeria’s economy. It’s a narrative that
seeks to conceal the fact that Buhari’s ill-advised decision to increase petrol
prices is the immediate trigger for the current hyperinflation in the country,
that Buhari’s choice to travel the world for months while leaving Nigeria
basically ungoverned during that period contributed to our current state, and
that the government’s lack of any blueprint to turn the economic fortunes of
the country is also blameworthy.”
