ECOWAS LEADERS [ESPECIALLY PRESIDENT BUHARI], HAD NO BUSINESS IN BAMAKO!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 9.NO 363. 26th July, 2020.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). . PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

ECOWAS LEADERS [ESPECIALLY PRESIDENT BUHARI], HAD NO BUSINESS IN BAMAKO!

It is now crystal clear that Economic Commission Of West African States (ECOWAS), Heads of State who physically gathered to broker peace in Bamako, the Malian capital from Thursday, 23rd to Friday, 24th July, 2020, were under the illusion that Covid-19 pandemic was a respecter of diplomatic immunity, otherwise they could have held the cross-national interventionist meeting virtually in the first instance!

Mali, with a population of 20 million people, has been ravaged by major internal armed conflicts which started between the north and south since January, 2012, and which subsequently forced the country’s military out of the north in a jihadist revolt for Ansar Dine, the prominent insurgency group and a number of smaller Islamist groups to impose strict Sharia Law in the region.

“The June 5 Movement”, another pressure group which staged a protest against the visit of the alien presidents, is seriously pushing for the Malian president’s resignation for his failure to revamp the dwindling economy, fight institutional corruption and crush the 8-year old Ansar Dine insurgency!

In addition, the June 5 Movement which adopted its name from the date of protests which eventually claimed the lives of several of their members [11 dead and 158 injured], when it turned violent on 11th July 2020, were determined that exit of the incumbent would restore peace to the Sahelian country because the long-delayed 31 results of parliamentary election was rigged in favour of his Party!

There is no doubt that the Malian political situation is similar to Nigeria’s where Boko Haram has held sway since August 2009, but Francophone Mali [one of the world’s poorest countries beset by environmental issues which include desertification, soil erosion, deforestation, loss of pasture land, inadequate water supply across the nation etc, and now the deadly Covic-19 pandemic], did not request for a meeting of meddlesome interlopers who should have stayed back in their nations to  enforce sanitation protocols according to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines!

NO WONDER THE UNSOLICITED PEACE-FOCUSED MEETING ENDED GRACELESSLY!

How did ex-President Ebele Jonathan qualify to become ECOWAS Envoy and was able to convince President Buhari to attend a fruitless meeting in a Covid-19 pandemic environment without opposition from Professor Ibrahim Gambari, the new Chief of Staff to the sitting president?

Other busybodies on the fruitless, time-wasting, Estacode-consuming journey to Bamako with Muhammadu Buhari were, Presidents Akufo Addo of Ghana, Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger, Macky Sall of Senegal, Alassane Quattara of Cote d’Ivoire, the host, Ibrahim Keita of Mali, and Ebele Jonathan, who could not broker a peace deal between the warring factions who insisted that the Malian President, who had just spent TWO of his FIVE-year tenure, must resign!
BACK TO SENDER!

According to fillers from Bamako, ECOWAS would convene a VIRTUAL SUMMIT on Monday 27th July, 2020, to resolve a matter which initially fell within their purview before it was hijacked by idle heads of states who should have stayed back in their countries and judiciously supervise all Covid-19 preventive measures to ensure that the prediction of Melinda Gates that “dead bodies would litter streets of African countries” would not come true!

Presidents of developed countries of Europe, United States, Asia and the Americas, are more concerned to mitigate the pandemic and succour their citizens rather than globe-trotting at a time of universal sanitation crisis during which every life is at risk because the corona virus is no respecter of colour, gender, race, rich, poor or political power!

THOSE PRESIDENTS POSE COVID-19 PANDEMIC DANGERS TO THEIR COUNTRIES NOW!

Were they quarantined before the journey according to WHO Covid-19 sanitation protocol and were they isolated on arrival in Bamako? NO!
When they returned to their various countries on Friday 24th July. 2020, did they go for the mandatory 14 days at the Isolation Centres? NO!

Have they interacted with their staff/family since their return from Bamako? YES!

Do they pose health dangers to their citizens? YES!
Must they be quarantined and isolated for the prescribed 14 days? OF COURSE!

Must they RESIGN their positions if infected by Covid-19 parasites? YES! YES! YES?

SHOULD BUHARI EMBARK ON A MEANINGLESS JOURNEY WHEN HIS OWN HOUSE WAS ON FIRE? NO!

One week before his inglorious Malian journey armed Fulani herdsmen killers invaded El-Rufai’s Christian-populated Southern Kaduna and snuffed out the lives of not less than 71 innocent citizens, without any arrests so far – as such killings have become a recurring decimal!

On the 22nd July, 2020, Boko Haram terrorists video of the gruesome murder of FIVE Nigerian Humanitarian Workers captured in Bornu State, went viral on the social media and the whole nation went a-mourning except for those who embarked on a jamboree to Mali on the 24th July, 2020, to pacify Malian terrorist from further insurgency against their nation!

We have long concluded that President Buhari’s foreign trips were on the high side and advised he should apply the brakes, but his advisers believe otherwise and could care less if all of the nation’s foreign exchange reserve was spent on Executive globe-trotting which at every point would consume millions of United States dollars of Estacode payments to Mr. President and his entourage of not less than 10-15 officials outside of the advance party of, ministers, secretaries, technocrats etc.!

This is the THIRD foreign trip of President Buhari in spite of Covid-19 pandemic!

SHOULD BUHARI ALSO RESIGN BEFORE THE END OF HIS TENURE?

Wonders will never end! Of all politicians, Uche Secondus, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has mustered the liver to call for President Buhari’s resignation from office because of his non-performance!

In April 2018, an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC), report alleged that Uche Secondus, Chairman of the PDP received a sum of N250 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), under the watch of Col. Sambo Dasuki, (retd), for special duties during the build-up to the 2015 General Elections. Secondus was Deputy Chairman (South), at the time.

The report states as follows: “Uche Secondus received N200 million in cash from the office of the ONSA with voucher 0244. His Special Adviser, one Chukwurah, signed for the money on his behalf on February 2, 2015.  Earlier, he had collected N50 million, which was personally received by him on November 7, 2014.

“The funds were approved by Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd), for unknown reasons but were merely referred to as “special duties”.
The report also accused Secondus and the erstwhile Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu  as well as the lawmaker representing Akwa Ibom North East Senatorial District, Senator Bassey Akpan,  of receiving vehicles worth about N1.1 billion naira from Babajide Omokore, an oil magnate standing trial before a Federal High Court, in Abuja.

But Secondus has described the claim by the anti-graft agency as blackmail and a continuation of what he described as media trial and asked EFCC or anyone with proof of the allegations to come to court.

No one expected Secondus to admit the allegation, but it is on record that for SIXTEEN consecutive years, PDP despoiled the Nigerian Treasury with reckless abandon through institutional corruption of a horrible dimension that can be likened to the ABACHA ERA!

And the last supervisory head of the inglorious administration, now ECOWAS Special Envoy, ex-President Ebele Jonathan, publicly declared in response to a journalist’s question that “stealing was not corruption”!

However, Sambo Dasuki has confessed the Jonathan gave him approval to disburse the USD $2.2billion, allegedly spent to ensure Jonathan’s third term bid!

Ex-President Jonathan has also been linked to the billions of dollars allegedly looted by Allison Madueke, his Petroleum Minister, awaiting judicial extradition from London where she had been on self exile since President Buhari’s first term in office!

As it is written, “They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.’’  (Isaiah 66:17).
