We all condemned the criminal assault on activist @p_oruche at the Benin airport by people offended by her views. Most of us agree that in a democracy, speech is protected and jungle justice has no place, even when offense is caused. We said the same when Deborah was murdered for what she allegedly said in a student WhatsApp study group. Yet in the aftermath of the brutal assault and abduction of Don Pedro Obaseki, this was her contribution to the conversation. How is this ‘reasoning’ materially different from the logic used by those who insist that offensive speech justifies violence, including murder for blasphemy. If we cannot apply the same moral standard consistently, then a new Nigeria truly remains out of reach.

A few random thoughts on this Natasha-Akpabio ‘sex-for-seat’ scandal: 1.If you’ve ever worked in politics or civil society, you’ll recognize the rented Akwa Ibom protesters and their mass-produced placards. 2.Sponsored protests are a staple of Nigerian politics. The protesters are usually poor, illiterate, and desperate — which makes it even sadder when they’re being paid to tear down a woman making allegations that many of them have probably experienced themselves. 3.Akpabio is innocent until proven guilty — no argument there — but it’s hard to ignore that this isn’t the first time he’s faced sexual harassment allegations (remember the NDDC MD?). 4.Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki is right — the Senate can’t pretend these allegations don’t exist. The Committee on Ethics, Privileges & Public Petitions must investigate. That’s the only way forward for the Senate, in my opinion. 5.Oh, one other thing. What struck me most was Sen. Ireti Kingibe’s admission on ARISE NEWS that Sen. Natasha had told her Sen. Akpabio invited her (Natasha) to a hotel for a meeting — and that she had advised Natasha to only meet male senators (including the Senate President) in their offices or homes. 6.That suggests that Sen. Ireti knows there’s a culture of harassment in the Senate — and that it’s been normalized. 7.Surely that’s unacceptable. 8.Natasha’s protest over her seat assignment? That’s Senate business — the Disciplinary Committee will handle that. Just as the Ethics Committee needs to handle this. Because if Nigeria’s Senate is a place where women expect to be harassed — and everyone just accepts it — then we have a much bigger problem on our hands. And maybe that’s why there are so few women in Nigerian politics — not just because the system is stacked against them, but because the price of stepping up is enduring institutionalized harassment and being vilified when you speak out.

Political parties must be deliberate about who speaks for them on live TV I just watched arguably the worst interview ever aired on ARISE NEWS. You could even hear the presenters laughing at the poor man. They couldn’t wait to end it! Public speaking’s a skill. Hire professionals

After threatening to resign from politics if presented with video evidence of him condemning Peter Obi, it seems Chief Dan Ulasi might have to do so. oseni rufai you were right. Here is 4 minutes of empirical evidence.

The most intelligent politician I’ve interacted with is Kingsley Moghalu OON. I watched him lecture Charles Anyiagolu in ARISE NEWS last night. He gets it. At this point it’s almost criminal that Tinubu isn’t at his door begging him for support. We used to have ‘philosopher-kings’, like Zik and Awo. These days we have barbarian warlords more interested in power than in progress.

“The VP’s house will cost ONLY $15 million dollars SeunOkin Channels tv . Only $15 million dollars. You cannot put people in uncomfortable working conditions!” A senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This criminal act was not carried out in the Oba’s name. Don Pedro was abducted from a football field, stripped, and forcibly dragged to the Oba’s Palace. He was not “allowed” to wear knee pads by benevolent non-state actors. He had them on because he had been playing football. His abductors threatened to shoot him if anyone resisted. He was physically assaulted, stripped, and dragged through the city to the Palace gates. The Nigeria Police Force officers stepped aside and watched this happen. It was only the intervention of a palace chief that de-escalated the situation. In a democracy, there is no such thing as a compulsory “traditional apology.” More importantly, what offence is being alleged that could possibly justify the abuse, humiliation, and threats to life inflicted on him by known thugs? It is well.

The Edo election was clearly stolen by INEC. That’s settled. How do we start to rebuild trust in our electoral system? If you ask me, next steps must be: 1. The prosecution by ICPC Nigeria of the INEC Chairman under whose watch the Commission has gotten not only more incompetent but increasingly criminal; and 2. For the Judiciary to, as Sam Amadi encouraged, find the courage to reject election results that show clear manipulation. 3. Electoral reforms that increased the evidential weight of results held on IRev; and allow the use of the BVAS machines for accreditation and voting. We have to get back to the point where election riggers no longer believe the Courts are there to validate their crimes.

Disturbed by the volume of evidence he saw the PDP present yesterday at the Edo Governorship Elections Tribunal, the APC Chairman Jarret Tenebe woke up and decided to invade the PDP State Headquarters with thugs to ‘reclaim’ it. “Nothing on earth will make me leave this office!”, he boasted to Nigeria Police Force DCP Abang. How is this defensible or acceptable in a democracy? Is Tenebe now above the law? His impunity, if not checked, can lead to a breakdown of law and order in the State.
