Let’s put an end to o-or-die politics?

Truly speaking, such people are those who easily take advantage of any given SPIDER WEB type of opportunity and hopelessly hope to violate written or unwritten (in this case) political agreement(s).  They also forget that naturally, any house built with unjust and unfair structures and on a foundation of sand can easily be blown away […]

Truly speaking, such people are those who easily take advantage of any given SPIDER WEB type of opportunity and hopelessly hope to violate written or unwritten (in this case) political agreement(s).  They also forget that naturally, any house built with unjust and unfair structures and on a foundation of sand can easily be blown away by any given strong breeze. 
Such leaders are also very forgetful, easily assume the exclusive powers of the Almighty God, and arrogantly make big mistakes hoping that they can do and undo (do-or-die plus head or tail).  Now then, let me remind them if they can remember what happened to King Pharaoh of Egypt on his primitive arrogance.  And can they also remember about the so-called great king Nebuchadnezer in the Bible and how God brought him so low to humility as a result of his haughtiness and very wicked and unjust acts?  And what about in recent times, when Baba Iyabo Obasanjo and his third term agenda hopelessly flooped crash-landed?
Well, this brings me to the point of some or most African leaders and Africa’s leadership crisis, or better put, African leaders and why there is always fire on the mountain in most African countries which is usually as a result of one form of injustice or craftly creating an unlevel playing field or ground.  For instance, cast your mind back to the 2007 elections when Baba Iyabo was the President of Nigeria. The elections that were rightly regarded as the poorest in the records of Nigeria’s electoral process in terms of rigging and which the various court cases or judgements have, to a large extent proved. 
Definitely, injustice that pushes the very innocent and law abiding citizens to the wall is bound to explode and lead to general insecurity/violent acts.  Also, lack of good spirit of equity (or injustice) can force the populace to resort to violence and very high unlawful acts as a show of resentment or We No Go Gree syndrome; for instance, the Bauchi Prison incidence.  We thank God that these days, those with the means wisely go to court to seek redress. 
Also, look at how deliberately, unjustly and for lack of decennium, a clique that for selfish desires made frantic effort to prevent or hinder Alhaji Atiku Abubakar from vying for presidential primaries of the PDP on very petty and flimsy excuses of vendetta?
Imagine a clique from Adama PDP telling Alhaji Atiku Abubakar that he must first of all go and show respect to President Goodluck Jonathan (who has also fully planned to vie for party primaries), his Vice President, Alhaji Namadi Sambo, Governor Murtala Nyako and the bla-bla-bla other reasons, before Alhaji Atiku Abubakar can be considered for waiver.  Is the PDP the property of President Jonathan and Co.?  Is Atiku Abubakar seeking for any office employment from such people or the generality of the electorate across the country?
It is a well known fact that every political party is always so happy and ready to welcome into its fold, other politicians unconditionally and whole-heartedly.  However, here is a political heavy weight by every consideration and a strong founding member of the PDP, who, for self-centered petty reasons of a selfish clique are bent on trying to block his chances of proving his leadership competence without any justified reason. 
In addition, we thank God for the good leadership ability of the PDP National Working Committee members under the Dr Okweseliese Nwodo captainship.  They have displayed a high level of foresight and clear thinking ableness in forestalling what would have led to very ugly trends by way of granting Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s right to waiver.  And we hope that the PDP national Exco would ratify it unconditionally. 
I want to know and majority of Nigerians and indeed the whole world would also want to know and I hereby accordingly ask:  Who is always afraid for the good leadership ability of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, such that whenever he is about to roll out his political machines, it sends down shivers and jitters into his body stream?  and to the extent that instead of allowing for a level playing ground, would go about concocting petty ways against Alhaji Atiku Abubakar?  Does such a person or group of persons forget the adage that he who envies another is that person’s inferior?
Well, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar must have or should well understand by now that in a situation whereby there are so many flowers, it is that which shines brightest that always catches the attention of majority of those that need flowers. 
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, do not be unmindful but never be bothered about the skimmings of the Goliath and his so-called army/weaponry because the David (i.e. you & others) is always around with his catapult of truth, which is the major weapon that can always or continue to stand the test of time.  
Mr President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Sir!  Head or tail, it is not yet the turn of your zone to vie for PDP primaries in a move to becoming the next president of Nigeria, this is the truth and always bitter.
