A body, the Coalition of Oodua Self-Determination Groups (COSEG), has described the appointment of Mr. Jelili Adeshiyan by President Goodluck Jonathan as the Police Affairs Minister, as an insult on the Yoruba.
“It is also an attempt to shield him and his cohorts from prosecution over the death of the former Attorney-General of the Federation, Chief Bola Ige,” the group added.
In a statement by its Chairman and Secretary, Ifedayo Ogunlana and Rasak Olokoba, at the end of its monthly meeting where the state of the nation was discussed, the body described the appointment as an attempt to pervert the course of justice.
According to the group, the appointment of Adeshiyan is not only an insult on the people of Yoruba land, but also a disservice to the memory of Chief Bola Ige. A man, who is an aide of Senator Iyiola Omisore, known for violence and brigandage, cannot be trusted in such a position. He is still under investigation for the murder of Ige, yet he is a minister in charge of a government agency. This calls to question the anti-corruption crusade of the Jonathan administration.”
It said: “We have noticed the hatred President Jonathan has for our people. This is why a suspected murderer could be appointed as a Police Affairs Minister.”
COSEG decried the Senate for the hasty manner it confirmed the nomination of the suspected murderer, despite opposition from the three senators from Osun State.
“We are confused on how a man standing trial for murder could have scaled the screening of the security as well as that of the Senate.
“It is also worrisome how our security system works if a suspected murderer, who has a case in court, could scale through security screening. This is why government has been unable to stop Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast,” the group said.
It went on: “The appointment of Adeshiyan is not only mischievous, but also reckless, immoral, anti-people and a dangerous trend in the political development and appointments because he who asks for equity must come with clean hands.
The appointment of Adeshiyan is flawed. The Jonathan administration cannot continue to scorn the late Ige, an ex-Justice Minister.”
COSEG said it would resist attempt by the President to allegedly use the minister to rig the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State, adding that it would protect the sanctity of the electoral process...culled
Hmmmmm. Ok nw.
ReplyDeleteTorr!!
Delete@Phrinkies; how market for yonder?
DeleteNigeria my country
ReplyDeleteI will not forget that awful day that Bola Ige was pronounced dead. Incidentally I was in his town tmthat day. And I along my uncle and aunt visited his home to commiserate with his family because he was a friend of my family.i even signed the register that day. I also remember vividly what a few if his aids and cook told us. The cook said that the late man had just had dinner and he asked him (d cook) to close for the day as he wanted to sleep. And that he also asked his aids to go on an, hitherto, obscure errand for him. And I wondered how and why the man would dispose of everyone around him at the sane time. Suffice it to say that I think the only innocent person was the cook, while I do not believe his aids' version of things. I noticed also that the pattern in which Ige was murdered..has a striking semblance to how Funsho Williams was also murdered in his home in ikoyi. The thing tire me o
DeleteI just can't understand the premise with which GEJ approves these appointments.
ReplyDeleteIt is only in Naija that criminals are celebrated and given Government appointments.

Jonathan is a big failure; Unreliable, dumb, unintelligent, a coward, corrupt, insensitive. I regret voting him in the last election. He grossly irritates me.

ReplyDeleteAwon ole. Apaniyan, Ika eda. Won fe ba ile yoruba je. Olorun o ni fun yin se AMIN
ReplyDeleteThe minister has already been appointed,it might be an insult to the Yoruba's,i don't question or criticise appointments because it only falls on deaf hears,i respect and love Bola Ige so much and he's spirit will not rest until his killers are brought to justice. 2015 is around the corner,then we will know if yoruba's love President GEJ or not, its politics and anything can happen.
ReplyDeleteI rly don't knw how our leaders think,its so saddening to think they'll probably finish doin somuch harm to our dear country n leave wat's left for us to take care of...my heart breaks
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... Smh, I hope d senate screen him out o.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a political appointment in Nigeria, then become a criminal. Education is not a plus so no need to go to school. Just buy the certificate for fashion
