…Says State Police, meant to fight 2027 Political Opponents
From Idu Jude Abuja
Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress APC, Dr. Garus Gololo, has again written off the leadership quality of the Senate President, Godwill Akpabio, describing him as flippant, unprofessional, and Childish in conduct.
Dr, Gololo, while in an exclusive interview with The Sun, remarked that the country is in for more trouble with the like of Akpabio on the sit as the Chairman of the National Assembly. He said that recently Nigeria has seen the way the man fumbles and Wombles in decision-making and daily conduct.
Dr. Gololo, further said that the worst of Akpabo was the way he made utterances without considering the seat he was occupying.
Dr. Garus Gololo, said “, Right now, I sympathize with the 10th Assembly. And indeed all Nigerians because whatever decisions they make transcend down to 250, million Nigerians. What I am saying is that the business of the number three (3) person in Nigeria is not for somebody like Akpabo. What I am saying is that the seat of the Senate President is an institution that people consult. Recently, Akpabo has failed to assert this leadership quality owing to poor personal conduct while presiding over the business of the day. Akpabo embarrassed the entire country while exposing how the Senate took care of themselves before embarking on a holiday. Again few days ago, he made another blunder while thanking Mr. President for the package given to them for breaking fast. So how long will Nigeria be patient with this kind of person, whose duty is to talk like a market woman?
In like manner, the retired General has condemned unprofessional comments of the former Governor of Akwa Ibom state now the Senate President, that those who killed and mutilated bodies of slain soldiers in the Niger Delta might be machinery.
The former APC BOT noted that Akpabo’s excesses have shown gross incompetence as the number three (3) citizen of this country with so many unguarded utterances especially when it has to do with the security of this country. “To confirm what I am saying, it seems that Akpabo, is on a mission and he is bent on delivering this message, with a plethora of issues to assess him as a man not capable of being the Senate President. As the Number three person in Nigeria, Akpabo, should not have approached the issue like that especially when it has to do with security. Here we are talking of a whole battalion led by a colonial perished and without doing due diligence to find out what happened, Akpabo was out there just to defend the Niger Delta, but not to wait and come up with good security details that could guide the Nation in solving the riddle. Maybe he has to tell us who the machineries are and how they were employed.
The former Army Artillery Brigade Commander has commended the Abilities of Elder Edwin Clark who condemned the act and meted on the soldiers on a peacekeeping mission. He said that the man he revered so much on so many occasions s shown his ability as a leader in the Niger Delta, which Akpabo lacks.
He said that the EFCC, Shou as a matter of urgency opened Akpabo’s case, which was left undone after he ran to the ruling party during former President Mohammadu Buhari’s administration. ” Akpabo is supposed to be in EFCC next right now, we knew how and why he came to APC. And I don’t know why they are still chasing an old man Muritala Nyako and Yahaya Bello while a person like Akpabo is here playing seek and hide in the Senate”.
Meanwhile, The General has rejected the call for state police, while urging President Tinubu to ensure that strategies are out in place before the presentation of state police to avoid a security backlash.
Dr. Gololo said that the call by 16 state governors could be a perfect weapon to get rid of political opponents come the 2027 general elections. I know so many Governors who can fully support such even when our country has no perfect laws to guide such and as well protect individuals against rampaging governors. Just take a look at what people pass through during elections and that gives you the bird-eye-view of what people could suffer when it comes into play. Like I said earlier, 2027 is their target period”.
