Emerging Fascist State: Who is Misleading Buhari?

by Obinna Akukwe

It is obvious with the events in Nigeria that the nation state is gradually turning fascist, especially the manner some elements within the ruling party is pursuing the fight against corruption, leading one to ask who is misleading President Buhari.?

I want to speak out on this emerging fascist state so that when the nation (minus me) is engulfed in another self inflicted problem, my conscience will be very clear. That was how, with over thirty write-ups and expositions on the subject of Boko Haram, since 2011, all I predicted came to pass including massive embezzlement of trillions of naira under the guise of security, wastage of lives of over two thousand gallant rank and file of the armed forces, murder of over 20,000 harmless civilians and displacement of millions of people. The Jonathanian regime for political expediency, allowed Boko Haram to overrun the country. The Buhari regime should not allow fascist mentality to overrun his leadership.

I was an avowed supporter of the ‘Change Regime’ of Buhari, both in Prayers, Public and Private Campaigns and Mobilizations, and it is obvious that somebody somewhere, is misleading President Buhari, and using his goodwill as excuse to silent political opponents.

Tompolo Boys Defy Buhari, vow to Set Nigeria Ablaze - Part 2

 Finally, Tompolo Boys have set Niger Delta ablaze as I warned the Nigerian Government four months ago. Informed sources within Tompolo camp have informed me that any attempt to humiliate the ex-warlord by EFCC will lead to a battle royale between Buhari and the militants.  I warned the nation in three separate write ups of the consequences of the politically motivated manhunt for Tompolo  cloaked as financial matters. In subsequent write ups,I aadvsied Tompolo to return his loot to the Nigerian Government and seek the path of peace. I also advised Niger delta elders to placate the Federal Government and ensure a safe landing for Tompolo.

These are not because I support the theft of billions at Maritime Agency. Rather it is because,from the available intelligence, it is obvious that Tompolo boys are still active and ready to procure arms and do harm that will be more than what their principal did before with dire consequences for the nation.



At that time, four months ago, there was nothing like Niger Delta Avengers.At that time,the disgruntled boys only have an intention to stoke hard but no detailed plan. At that time,other militant leaders were at the fence, not knowing which side to take between Tompolo and the Federal Government,.At that time, disgruntled politicians are yet to have a grip on the boys.

The General Assembly of all Igbo Christian Organizations and Ministers (GAAICOM), foremost Igbo umbrella of religious leaders with track records, have once more called upon all Igbo Hebrews home for a ‘3 Day Walk into the Presence of God’. This 3 Day Prayer Walk is as revealed to the General Coordinator Apostle Dr PCJ Macjossy way back in 2002, and confirmed by other religious leaders cutting across all denominations since then, is finally coming to fruition as the political and occult leaders who opposed the divinely mandated prayers all these while are the ones now begging for its convocation.

This Prayer Conference tagged ‘3 Day Walk in the Presence of God” which will involve the entire Igbo Nation, has since gotten the support of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide and all prominent Igbo Groups as solution to the myriads of misfortune, political and otherwise following the race.

Cross sections of Igbo leaders, clerics and activists who were consulted by the high powered military delegation form the presidency on issues pertaining to Biafra agitations, marginalization and the best ways to restore the confidence of the people of the South East in the project called Nigeria, have expressed anger that six months after the visit of the military officers, nothing concrete has been done to make the Igbo nation feel a sense of belonging.

Igbo Mandate Congress, IMC, has commended Nigeria’s former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon for accepting responsibility for the paternity of his Igbo Son, Jack Musa Ngonadi Gowon, after forty eight years of denial, abandonment, victimization and slander.

Igbo Mandate Congress have initially made arrangements, as disclosed publicly, in the press release of  November 25th to accord Musa Gowon, a rousing welcome, whenever he was released by the US Immigration authorities, en-route Nigeria.
