Ik Muo, PhD:EFCC, Oshiomhole's Doctrine and Renewed Politricks
ike muo
Anyway, in 2019, Adam Oshiomhole, (the first Adam ate a local apple but this one went for a foreign apple!!!), a man who is down to earth (or close to the ground) and has a way with words propounded his doctrine. As he received some PDP decampees at the APC Presidential Campaign in Benin on Thursday 17/1/19, Oshiomhole declared unabashedly that ‘once you join the APC, your sins are forgiven’ As the National Chairman of APC, he knew what he was talking about, especially as he knew the integrity-overload weighing down those members jumping in from PDP. And the APC faithful, (including EFCC operatives) had kept faith with that theory even after they threw Oshiomhole under the bus, Of course, there were some exceptions like the case of Okorocha. Akpabio was arrested first on 16/10/15 over N108bn ‘petty fraud’ when he was in PDP He then decamped, became Minister of the Niger Delta affairs where he did mightier deeds than before and it is still pending. The EFCC invited him in April 2023 over multiple fraud cases and his lawyer replied that he had gone to treat pneumonia overseas and would respond when he returned from medical tourism and the rest is history. By that time the Oshiomhole theory had become operational. What of Beta Edu and her predecessor in the ‘Misery’ of Humanitarian Affairs? It was rumoured that Edu has been cleared! What of Hidi Sirika who hoodwinked the whole world with Nigeria Air; fake plane, fake launching, guaranteed ALL loses for just 5% stake and who had the wizardry to compromise Ethiopian Airlines, a world-class organization? How about Abubakar Malami whose children are now the biggest entrepreneurs in Nigeria from nowhere? How about all the accused who are in this BATified government, including Metawale, who is also accused of being a Bokoharamist? Their sins have been forgiven! Why is it that EFCC never looked in the direction of oil subsidy, turn around maintenance and oil theft? It has been reported that about $25bn was spent between 2013 and 2023 on the refineries, which are still NOT working! Why is it that beyond Emefiele nobody has been held over Buhari’s willful destruction of Nigeria Economy? Savour and share
