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 383. 13th December, 2020.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). . PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

THIS GAME OF DECEIT WILL BE THE DOWNFALL OF BUHARI’S APC!

Nigerian citizens must perhaps be the worst sinners in the world for them to be persistently hurt, bruised, harassed and persecuted by political representatives who should normally protect them according to the law but have instead employed coercive institutional instruments to destroy their collective psyche and denied them of inalienable fundamental rights as enacted in the 1999 Constitution!

Over the years of independence and republican status, citizens have been permanently relegated to the background – the bottom of the ladder – where they now have to look up to their so-called representatives at all tiers of government to eek a living albeit, to live LIFE in spite of the fact that “sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government derives all its powers and authority”!

All major or minor decisions/policies were usually conceived, incubated, mooted and executed between the executive/legislative and forced down the throat of hapless citizens, irrespective of their education, qualifications, positions, achievements, expertise, professionalism, experience etc, etc. as if 60-year-old Nigeria is not part of the 21st century ICT- compliant world BUT in a remote planet where feudal overlords hold sway!

CASE STUDY: The Petroleum downstream sector government’s subsidy scam of 21 consecutive years, which has made billionaires of all cadres of the ruling class since independence, is still very much trending because it is very difficult for very greedy politicians to take their hands off the honey pot!

On the one hand the 2015- 2020 existing Buhari Administration (which most articulate Nigerians in the private sector, Ivory Tower, manufacturing, industry etc, thought would salvage the very unsavory situation, especially when the President doubled as the Petroleum Minister), declared that “government‘s subsidy on petroleum products” would be totally abolished while petroleum product prices, would be allowed to be determined by “international market forces”!

BUT, on the other hand, year-on-year, the Petroleum Products Pricing Marketing Company (PPPMC), had consistently dictated/announced pump prices of Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) known as Petrol, Diesel Oil and Kerosene prices till date as it deemed fit!

December 2020, pump price was fixed at N165, 00, per liter while marketers sold at prices favorable to them - N170.00 and above at some filling stations across the nation and citizens remain at the mercy of those fronting at those outlets owned by most of them!

WORDS OF WISDOM ON MARBLE!

ARISTOTLE, the great Greek philosopher, logician, scientist political theorist and polymath, [384-322 BC], in one of his thought-provoking ‘quotes’, says:
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

President Muhammadu Buhari is one individual who strongly believes that with age, cerebral capabilities diminished! He lamented in 2015, shortly after his successful FOURTH attempt: “I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor, just a few years as a young man. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do.”!
He served as a military governor at 33 and Head of State at 40 years! Was that lamentation called for? Was it not an early sign of defeat which postulate that without youthful energy to accomplish the gargantuan duties attached to the exalted office, he would not be able to accomplish much?

CHECK OUT THE NEGATIVE SCORECARD OF BUHARI’S GOVERNMENT!

Outside of the Crude Oil – the main stay of the economy – which the Federal Government claims monopoly of execution of its proceeds through the constitutional Executive Legislative List, both the executive and legislative arms bypass all constitutional procedures to:
Fix their monthly/annual salaries, allowances/emoluments;
Purchase brand new, imported, very expensive/exotic vehicles every FOUR years;
Share all CONTRACTS at the illegal/unconstitutional Wednesday “Federal Executive Council” meetings among Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), where they further contracted to professional cronies who front for the politicians!
Re-write and re-invent all annual budgets through “paddings”, execute all non-existent “constituency project contracts” and have left the masses high and dry year after year!
Though, current two-digit % of prices inflation of products and services/economic recession is adduced by government to Covid-19 Pandemic, all of the above indices of maladministration are pointers to deliberate, insensitive, institutionally induced suffering, planned and sustained by consecutive administrations of PDP/APC which have birthed the worst kind if NATIONAL INSECURITY from 1999 to date!

AND that is why, permanent squalor due to lack of any meaningful infrastructure in all sectors of the economy – education, health, agriculture, thermal /hydro electricity generation, potable water, textiles, industry, manufacturing, road/water transportation,  aviation, etc, etc,), permeate the entire six geo-political zones of the nation, for the obvious reason that all allocated monies have been shared among the SERVANT POLITICIANS, to the detriment of “The People” who have been sidelined for too long!

Unemployment, abject poverty – the harbinger of crimes, criminalities, insurgency and terrorism which have become prominent features of daily life that culminate into annual negative international indexes are the order of the day in Nigeria!

THE PEOPLES’ RIGHTS MUST PREVAIL WHETHER BUHARI LIKES IT OR NOT!

Henceforth and until he finally departs office on MONDAY, 29TH MAY, 2023, President Buhari WILL ensure that Nigerians were no longer sidelined in all policy decisions that directly affect their collective existence! Starting with ensuring adequate security of lives and properties which are the primary duties of his administration, he should employ the doctrine of INTEGRITY (of which is fondly identified), by discarding all EXCESS LUGGAGE of his cabinet and the Legislative – in the following manner: (1) Drop the current ministers/special advisers, especially the parasite SECOND TIMERS and DELETE THE DISCREDITED KITCHEN CABINET, and appoint the constitutionally stipulated number of 36 fresh ministers if he would redeem his badly damaged image! (2) Call for a REFERENDUM to dissolve the current SENATE before it ends its tenure in JUNE 2023, and also REDUCE THE NUMBER OF House of Representatives Legislators to 74! (3) He MUST henceforth respect the collective wishes of the People for RIGHTEOUS governance in every policy decision on all lawful EXPENDITURE from the Treasury Single Account (TSA), most especially as soon as the #Five-For-Five Demands by #EndSars, #EndPoliceBrutality Youth Protesters have been fully implemented by his government! (4) The PEOPLE have rejected being murdered, decapitated, or butchered in cold-blood any longer by terrorists, bandits or kidnappers and are demanding from the President a very quick collaboration for supervised Arming of Citizens in the North East, North West and North Central theatre of war without delay!

BLOOD OF THE SLAIN IS CRYING OUT! BUHARI MUST HONOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES INVITATION IF HE TRULY LOVES THE TALAKAWAS AS HE CLAIMS!

When the House of Representatives concluded a heated debate over the gruesome massacre of 43/78  Zabarmari farmers on 28th November, 2020, and resolved that the Commander-In-Chief should address them at an appointed date several Nigerians expressed reservations on whether the Buhari they were accustomed to would honor such request!

The President gave assurance he would address the nation at the green chamber (which later communicated with the Senate for a joint sitting), since Speaker ‘Femi Gbajabiamala’s claimed he secured the President’s commitment who MUST not renege under any pressure!

From the onset we suspected that PMB was insincere – judging by the fact that since his last overseas outing to mediate Mali’s military coup of August 2020 –  condemned and widely criticized – and except for presenting the 2021 Budget in person at the House of Representatives - his outing has been limited to the precincts of the State House, Abuja!

QUESTIONS:
Did he address the #EndSars Protesters to avert the horrible nation-wide calamity that swept through the country, even though he had opportunity to do so between the 8th-20th October, 2020? NO!
Why did he fail to address the legislators as “promised”? Because his handlers strongly believe “he’s not an Orator”; he might divulge serious security strategies out of confusion?
That the collective invitation was an opposition PDP ploy to embarrass PMB ?
Ex- President Ebele Jonathan was similarly invited in 2011, but failed to honor the National Assembly (NASS)…and Heaven did NOT fall!
BUT an intervention by Minister of Justice and Attorney of General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, who said that the Legislators lacked jurisdiction to invite or summon Mr. President to explain any matter before it AND
APC’s Governors forum which met and told the President not to honor the invitation put paid to all the shenanigans!
THURSDAY 10TH DECEMBER, 2020, NASS WAITED IN VAIN AT PLENARY FOR PMB WHO DID NOT SHOW UP AS PROMISED!
House Speaker was called to brief the plenary but declined by saying he was still expecting an official response from Aso Rock!
The House of Representatives might wait in vain because the ruling APC has majority in the NASS and would treat the very sensitive issue as FAMILY MATTER and they would be kowtowed to “let sleeping dog lie”!

INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WAS MARKED IN NIGERIA WITH FANFARE ON THURSDAY,  10TH DECEMBER, 2020!

At the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), groups of Nigerians who believe in the TOTAL EMANCIPATION of the PEOPLE from further extra-judicial killings torture, etc, held peaceful rallies to celebrate the day with accentuated advocacy that, governments at both Federal and States level MUST fulfill their constitutional duties in respect of ensuring adequate security architecture for the masses at all times!

It is now an open fact that prosecutors of The International Criminal Court (ICC), at the Hague, Netherlands, to which Nigeria is member and signatory to its Charter, are gathering vital information on major national calamities of unprecedented proportions of mass murders by Boko Haram terrorists and institutional terrorism through police and army brutality – especially the recent Lekki Toll Gate killings of peaceful protesters on Black Friday, 20th October, 2020!

The inference in all of this is that no Nigerian can henceforth hurt or injure the right of another without being brought to justice, be he a president or a citizen – and outside of official justice, every man will give account of his stewardship to God, his creator at an appointed time!
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn’’. (Prov 29:2)
