…Nuhu Ribadu is respected for being responsible not only as antigraft tsar but also as anti-hate speech for which he’ll not support his supporters scheming libel against his political party and Nigerian leaders. Uba Dan Arewa should stop mentioning Ribadu’s name in his diatribe, since he’s not his boss as he said…
There is no point studying the viral libellous audio, whether or not it stands strong crediting the treachery to the alleged source, as Uba Dan Arewa came out boldly to own the foul-mouthed diatribe, daring the APC northeast national vice chairman, Comrade Mustapha Salihu that he is well experienced, elderly and more sophisticated to be cowed by such blatant and unwarranted threats against his person.
Dan Arewa seemed to be insinuating that if disciplinary action should be instituted against him for insulting the APC governorship candidate in Adamawa state, Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, a.k.a Binani and criminalising the Vice President Elect, Senator Kashim Shettima whom he would warn the President Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed to trust like a fox, lest he staged a coup to take over the presidency characteristic of his aligning with the political heroine of his disgusting distaste; Binani, struggling rather courageously to reclaim not only her mandate but to bring to public glare the subjects and objects of desperation, with a view to democratise democracy, emancipate and liberate the teeming electorates from being bamboozled into political hypnotism to be disenfranchised, for which she was falsely accused by deploying all the ill manners of covert and overt propaganda without any exception to ethnoreligion as a sensitive deceptive device, Salihu should consider starting his disciplinary action with his tribeman-godfather, the former SGF Babachir David Lawal, then Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo before reaching out to him in consideration of justice and fairness.
The point however is Dan Arewa has admitted dishing out the libel against Shettima and insulted Binani without justification simplify because some people have done it, were ignored and heaven did not fall.
Fact Check reported Dan Arewa noting that it is preposterous for Mustapha to stoop so low as to ask Malam Nuhu Ribadu whether or not he commissioned him to make such statement, while confirming that he made the statement in his capacity as a bonafide APC member who has worked assiduously for the success of the party since 2014 even before the Mustapha could be introduced the party.
Doe that give Uba Dan Arewa the “a ware” ground to be reduced to the a mischievous hand for use by the opposition to kill the party in the name of registering grievances against the female governorship candidate that the party members believed have the capacity, capability, competency and courage to lead in reclaiming the Dougirei Hill?
Dan Arewa compared his standing, authority and political status with the former SGF Babachir and Senator Abbo, while appealing to ethnoreligious emotions where he said, “I heard what the north east vice chairman of the party said in response to my views. I’m happy that he is conducting the investigation.
“I’m making this statement as a member APC who came to the party in 2014 and has paid his dues even before Mustapha came into the party and was assisted by his tribesman, the former SGF Babachir to become the northeast national vice chairman of the party.
“At my age, my exposure and sophistication, I see it as an insult for anyone to think I cannot ventilate my personal opinion without been prodded by someone to do so. I want to categorically say I’m responsible for my own views and they remain sacrosanct.
“I want to say that it is trite for Mustapha who is by far my younger brother to insinuate that I’m Nuhu Ribadu’s boy. I take exception to that humiliating label. I want to tell him that I’m not Ribadu’s boy because when I met Ribadu I was already a self made personality. I only supported Ribadu because of his track record of discipline and accomplishments knowing that if he govern Adamawa, he will replicate what he did at EFCC and will position Adamawa State on the global map.
“…I’m surprised that despite the fact that my views were subtle and not extreme like the views expressed by Babachir and Senator Elisha Abbo who came out openly to insult the person of the president elect and Shettima, Comrade Mustapha is now raising an issue against me.
“Both Babachir and Abbo have excoriated the president elect and his vice to no avail but nothing was done to them. In fact Abbo went to the extent of calling the vice president elect a Boko Haram sympathizer but Comrade Mustapha did not deem it fit to punish either of them for such gross misconduct.
“Both Babachir and Abbo hold very important positions in our party as Babachir was a former SGF while Abbo was a senator under the APC but none was punished over their renegade and uncultured stance against Tinubu and Shettima.
“I must say it is repugnant for Mustapha to descend so low and to try to set me up for just airing an insinuation in the party. I want to state that based on my commitment and doggedness to ensure the success of the party, I’m more popular than Comrade Mustapha in APC.
“I’m waiting for the committee and will readily defend myself despite the glaring fact that Comrade Mustapha is baying for my head because of my ethnic identity. I’m anxious to face the committee”.
Does the Pulaaku, if Hausa-Fulani or Islam, if Muslim, encourage any form of insult against personalities to warrant any comparison of diabetes with varied in faith protagonist antagonism?
