A week has passed since the unfortunate assassination (yes that is what I called it as it was pre-planned and the suspects are not who everyone thinks they are) of the third daughter of Chief Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, the former Ondo State Commissioner for Finance, in the regime of the late Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin.
a) The police and those that witnessed the assassination of Mrs. Olakunrin are lying. I am befuddled by how the only person that was shot was Mrs. Funke Olakunrin (and they supposedly "lost her" as they rushed her to the hospital) while the other suspects were only abducted but then found by the police......?
b) Again, seven persons supposedly taken during the attack have been rescued but Mrs Olakunrin was the only one the so-called Fulani herdsmen shot? This is akin to someone urinating on you and telling you it's raining. Someone organized the assassination of this woman and the intent is there for the discerning minds to figure out.
c) Ganiyu Adams continues to show why he will never be taken seriously as a leader in the Southwest. The so-called Aare Ona kakanfo of Yorubaland has proved himself time and again to be an opportunist and a flame thrower, without the requisite filter and wisdom needed to hold such an exalted position.
d) The PDP does not have the best interest of Nigeria at heart and their response to the assassination of Mrs. Olakunrin again brought that valid notion to bear.
e) Abubakar Atiku remains the most overrated politician of our time as he lacks the base and the moral compass to lead a nation of Nigeria's magnitude. He is desperate and dangerous. Read between the lines.
f) Bola Tinubu remains the greatest political genius of our time. Say what you may of the man, he understands the temperature of his base and the nation. His response to this unfortunate event was as expected of a true national figure.
g) Former president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan remains a man lacking in the most basic of leadership skills - TACT!
h) Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo's reaction was as expected. Opportunistic, overstated and short on direction and foresight. As usual, it was overwhelmingly self-serving.
i) President Muhammadu Buhari could have done more and again missed another glorious opportunity to lead from the front rather than continually ceding the initiative to his adversaries.
j) Nigerians remain a resilient and optimistic people and nothing can shake the basic fabric of that nation as we have been through enough together as a people. We will come out together as well on the other side and it shall be well with Nigeria and its people, for God is with us.
