Elder statesman, Chief Richard Asaje has warmed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against meddling in the politics of Lagos State, stating that the Governor of Lagos State, HE Babajide Sanwo Olu need to be cautious with the way things are going on in the state.
According to him, Governor Sanwo Olu’s under handled tactics on the issue of Bobrisky and late Mohbad can tarnish the legacy of Tinubu to gain political advantages ahead of the 2027 elections.
“Tinubu has declared that his government will not relent in addressing corruption and other vices because it is a sacred duty.
Speaking further, he emphasized that the usual suspects in Lagos, Port-Harcourt to stretching from the northern cities of Kaduna, Kano to mention just a few and other emerging political threats across the federation may not help Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Chief Asaje averred that the nation’s current hardship, injustice, political instability and security architecture was performing abysmally, insisting that it may not help APC in 2027 considering the reality on ground in Nigeria today.
He stressed that on the case of Bobrisky, “we recall that Bobrisky was arrested in April on six counts of money laundering and naira mutilation. He was convicted by the Federal High Court in Lagos and sentenced to six months in prison for abuse of naira and later regained his freedom amist allegations of receiving preferential treatment while in custody.
“On late Mohbad painful and untimely death, according to the police interim report, the management of an injury inflicted on late Mohbad during a fight with his childhood friend, Prime Boy, resulted in his death.The report named an auxiliary nurse, Miss Fisayo Ogedengbe as the prime suspect in Mohbad’s death after she admitted during interrogation that the injection she gave him triggered a reaction that led to his eventual death. She did this in a non-clinical environment and in a professionally negligent manner that negated standard medical protocols.
“Mohbad had early raised alarm that his life was being threatened. That he was being bullied and assaulted by Naira Marley and Sam Larry. Arising questions about Bobrisky and late Mohbad are, “Who are the people behind Bobrisky case? And who kill Mohbad? I urged for a careful evaluation of Bobrisky scandal, as it provides another opportunity for a holistic reform of our criminal justice administration and on the cause of late Mohbad’s death. Nigerians are watching.
“I will be sorry to affront/dangle into a domestic affairs, but we are father’s and for the fact that despite the dire consequences for positive criticism, public intellectuals rarely flinct from what they consider to be their responsibility.
“Why? Truth will always prevail no matter how lies is being decorated. lf Bobrisky is just to be used as scape goat while some can not be sentenced. And let the people know who kill late Mohbad and the people behind Bobrisky.
“It will be too bad for Tinubu’s led government, if necessary attention is not given, considering 2027 elections. The masses can use it to draw sympathy for opposition.Things are not well, and I can not decieve myself or anybody. Anything that will give us additional problem should not be tolerated. The government should make sure that the truth previal. President Tinubu and the IG must act in the interest of the people”, Chief Asaje stressed.
“Our expectations is Tinubu to eliminate all the threats of any form of banditry, kidnapping for ransom, and the scourge of all forms of violent extremism. l implore President Tinubu to reached out to competent people who would assist him to solve the problem of Nigeria. To avoid unforseen coups, there must be a radical change of direction. Military coups can be prevented only by improving the overall state of a country’s domestic and foreign affairs.
“A look at the history of coups in West Africa suggests some recurring themes as causes. These show how likely more coups are and what needs to change to prevent them. Unimpressive democratic conditions in countries can influence a successful military take-over of government”, Chief Asaje warned.
Chief Asaje further stressed that, “either way, coups are rarely a solution to bad governance. The trend must be stopped in its tracks.
Finally, on Kogi politics, the issue of GYB vs EFCC will be treated differently.
“May President Bola Ahmed Tinubu succeed.
