The young Ogbuefi🇳🇬

So… APC recruited killers and thugs in Delta state and named them ‘taskforce’. Judging from reactions I’m seeing from their quarters, AND the ‘demonstration’ in Asaba today - which I’m glad to see proceeded peacefully without disruption, though I’m wondering if the state police command ‘gave permission’ for it considering how tense the city has been….it is clear that the young man who met his untimely demise during the violence he and his comrades-in-arms instigated against an otherwise legitimate and peaceful rally, was working for the incumbents and their associates. They have owned it. Let me clarify what they’re implying to Nigerians. They are saying that if you are in the ruling party and its many arms, you are ‘protected’ by the establishment. They are saying Nigerians are expected to turn the other cheek when attacked…absorb their injuries and deaths like good slaves and keep moving. They are saying that self defense will be criminalized because they control the police and the judiciary is their ally. They are showing you what state capture is in real time, how it operates and how you’re expected to carry yourself with absolute unquestioning submission within it. I daresay that the proposed ‘State Police’ for which they’ve hurriedly all passed legislation will be populated by these same ‘task force’ humans. Moving on…a not so subtle reminder: A few weeks ago, an NDC rally in Warri was similarly attacked. One terrorist was apprehended with an AK47 rifle by the galant and resistant supporters of the NDC. It was captured on video. He was not assaulted, he was marched to the Police command and handed over, alive and well… Statements were made by the authorities…the usual condemnation and intention to investigate were announced. He has since been released. Apparently possession of an assault rifle is no longer a crime in Nigeria. No charges were brought. He belongs to the establishment and they protect their own. Not long after, in more recent memory, Christopher Ifeanyi Nwolie was shot and killed by the same establishment sponsored terrorists in Enugu. At the party secretariat…not on a road procession like in Asaba…At The NDC secretariat…they came there to attack the opposition going about their own business and he paid the supreme price. He wasn’t a member of any task force or a thug. He was just a party member doing what he was entitled to do in support of his candidates. He was buried on October 22, 2026. No one has been charged or arrested. I could go on… but we’ve all witnessed these things play out so no one should need telling. It appears that some lives matter more than others in the eyes of the establishment. What is critical is that the attempt to gaslight the Nigerian public or change the narrative and play victim by the very instigators and sponsors of this erosion of democratic values will not stand. Neither will the attempt to cow us into submission work. Nigerians are not stupid. And we are not cowards. We will either function as a democracy should or nothing will work. We are coming out to campaign again… AVOID US IF YOU LOVE YOURSELF ! Riding a tiger is easy…getting off is the hard part. The same way APC rallies and billboards are unmolested and unchallenged by us is the standard we will accept, nothing less. Whatever seeds are sown will bear fruit.
