Etteh Must Go By Usman Falal
The Confusion and lawlessness of Wednesday that claimed the life of Dr. Aminu Safana was unfortunate, these had brought not only disrepute to the Institution in the eyes of the world and messed the country's democracy but has also affected the process of lawmaking. The development was one of the darkest in the country's political history, and Nigerian would not continue to tolerate the lawmaker's display of helplessness in handling the matter.
Both the parties to the conflict in the house should first apologize to Nigerians for allowing internal differences claim the life of a member. Tell me what can Nigerians do with this kind of house? Would Nigerians trust a house like this with the things you see happening. I urge all Nigerians to simply call up all their representatives since they can no longer handle simple and direct issues. This is one of the problems of stealing people's mandate, when people are not democratically elected into the house leadership this is bound to happen. They will never owe any allegiance to the house or the nation they are expected to serve, but only to themselves and their pockets and some times their imposters.
Madam speaker should simply step down for the appointment of a neutral person to continue with, but any attempt to manipulate the system would only worsen the already bad situation. I wonder how the situation was allowed to deteriorate to the sorry state, it was indeed sad. This woman had been proven guilty, the seat is still with the PDP and within the same geo political zone, and the PDP has about 290 Representative out of 360 that more than 2/3 of the representatives are PDP members, why can't you just impeach her and forge ahead. Why the sentiments? You have a lot of question to answer.
You see when you have evil minded people in charge of affairs you must expect things like that. The Etteh tears over the unfortunate demise of Honourable Safana will neither bring him back nor make any one forget that he did just because Etteh has proven to be a first class student of do or die politics, it was now that we clearly discovered the literal meaning of what OBJ means with do or die. How many people will have to die before this woman who was proven to be impervious to moral suassion. Has she been told that she must sacrifice a human life so she keeps her post? Look there's no post, no matter how high can be equated to a human life. I want to tell you that you will no longer enjoy the respect of the members in the house or that of ordinary Nigerians. You should note that you will be ask to account for the soul of innocent Nigerians whose their lives were prematurely terminated due to in responsive nature of your seat.
Death is an inevitable end for every mortal, the death of Dr. Safana should wake the PDP to the reality that the confidence of the people must be restored back to the house and the only way to do it is for the leadership of the house be replaced by a new set of leaders that are well focused.
Finally I called on members to take the required principled and patriotic step to throw her out and rescue the house from public shame. For honourable Safana his time is off and there is no man on earth that could have either deferred or stop his death. What is fundamental now is to pray for the soul and the lesson that ought to be learned after the departure of this personality. May his gentle soul rest in peace and may God give the families the fortitude to bear the lost AMEEN.
