Democracy & Governance
Government Vs Objectors -By Abubakar Isa
KEEP EYE ON THEM (OBJECTORS). THEY WILL REMAIN TIGHT-LIPPED AS SOON AS THEY RECEIVE COVID-19 ALERT OR GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT. THEY ARE NOT GENUINE.
Some of them keep reprimanding government at all levels claiming patriotism and change making.
They do nothing day in day out but pouring curses and abuses on governor and president – governor so and so didn’t do this didn’t do that!!
I thought their feelings were public’s, But I was soon disabused of that thought when one of them started pouring compliments on president Muhammad Buhari after receiving Covid-19 alert. The other was beginning to extol Governor Inuwa Yahya for directing road project to his vicinity. The other remained tight-lipped after being given an exalted position.
Ok, you castigated while you had nothing in your coffer; but when your coffer was bulging with your opponent’s generosity, you suddenly turned into his vigorous supporter. Didn’t you think that his generosity had been reaching millions of people before reaching you. Didn’t you know that!? You must have known, of course. Only that you were blinded by envy and jealousy.
If your praises are sincere, you would’ve praised him for what he did to others before you, unless you were blinded by selfishness.
Where are their claims for patriotism or so-called calling for change??
Occasionally, beware of those who call themselves: patriots, activist, critics, advocates etc. They ruin things rather than putting them to rights.
Pray for the government, alternatively remain tight-lipped, this will be optimum for you.
