Tension as Fulani Herdsmen Invade UNN
According to a an update by a facebook user Jeff Unaegbu, Fulani herdsmen yesterday invaded the premises of University Of Nigeria Nsukka with their cattle.
They ostensibly came to graze their cattle but people are already beginning to see their move from different angles with some saying it is a clandestine espionage mission to spy out the campus and identify its weak and vulnerable points. In the light of the recent Nimbo Massacre, it is important that the authorities look into this as quickly as possible.
See the update:
“Today. Some Fulani cattle herdsmen were spotted inside the University of Nigeria, Nsukka campus, looking for grass for their cows to graze. They were spotted near the perimeter fence housing the Fidelity Bank PLC, UNN Branch and also near the desuetude Miriam Babangida Auditorium. The security personnel at one of the University Gates close-by were quickly alerted to the subtle danger of experienced espionage and reconnaissance hidden in such idle roaming for grass, especially in a gentle learning environment with thousands of students and staff members sleeping habitually and freely at night. Fortunately, the Fulani were quickly advised to take their cows off the campus…, but, very tactfully. I hope they got the message.
You can see how the obviously intelligent Fulani hid himself away from the camera’s eye view. I love cow meat. But we are in bad times. Honestly, we are in bad times….
We are used to crying when something bad suddenly happens. But, honestly, nothing just happens. There is always the long period of gestation in the background. Are you intelligent enough to know the gestation period of many dangers around you?
That is the million-Dollar question for many of us in Nigeria….”

Editor’s note: Fani-Kayode,a former Nigerian minister, a lawyer,
politician, author, member of the PDP, in his latest essay, alleges that
former governors Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state and his Rivers state
counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi, funded President Muhammadu Buhari’s
campaign.

That whole ordeal almost ruined my life and my career but God was with
me throughout and He delivered me from their evil because I had done
nothing wrong. On 1st July, 2015, I was acquitted by a duly constituted
court of law of all those charges and I give God the glory for that.
Yet the struggle continues. I am appalled at the behaviour of the EFCC
in this latest matter but I am not surprised because they have had it in
for me for many years.
Their almost obsessive interest in me and their motivation to destroy me
is essentially political and partly personal and this has always been
so. In short, just as was the case seven years ago, they are being used
by the powers that be and by forces that are far above them. To that
extent, I sympathise with them.
Yet if this is an attempt to intimidate, silence or distract me, they
shall fail because I am not a coward and I do not fear them or those
that sent them to torment me.

campaign has come true – FFK
And neither will I sit by idly and watch them trying to destroy me
again. Their allegations are malicious and self-serving and there is no
substance or truth in them. We did not run the presidential campaign
organisation or my directorate with paper or hot air: We ran them with
money. There is no crime in that.
A substantial portion of that money was paid by my directorate directly
to the media for rallies, television, radio and newspaper adverts and
jingles together with many other services rendered and we have all the
records and documents to prove it. As stated earlier, those records have
been duly submitted to the relevant quarters and they commended us for
our work.
I did not run the directorate alone and I had, at least 10, deputy
directors, assistant directors and sub-directors, who were all also
appointed by President Jonathan, working under me.
I was responsible for the funding of each and every one of their various
operations. Our entire team was dedicated and we all worked very hard
because we believed passionately in our candidate and our party.
I have yet to hear of any presidential campaign organisation anywhere in
the world that was run without any money and that was funded with just
goodwill.
I might add that we spent far less money than the APC and the Buhari
presidential campaign organisation because they had access to massive
amounts of state government funds and they used those funds effectively.
For every million naira we spent, they spent ten.
They even contracted the services of a famous American media consultant
(the same one that President Obama used in 2008) and paid him ten
million U.S. dollars for his counsel and advice. They had fleets of cars
and buses whilst my Directorate was not even given one vehicle to get
our people around.
The official jeep that was meant to have been given to us for our
operations during the campaign was high jacked and it never arrived.
We were forced to use our own personal vehicles and we were glad to do
so. Yet the other side had everything that money could buy. They even
chartered numerous private jets throughout the campaign to get around
the country. Where did they get all their funding from? Why is the EFCC
not leaking stories or talking about that?
Instead of using the EFCC to try to rubbish me and my colleagues and
smear our good names, those that are in power today should tell us where
they got their campaign funds from and how much of it came from the
Governments of Lagos and Rivers State.
The two people that headed those two state governments then are now both
Federal Ministers today. One of them, who was the Director-General of
the Buhari Campaign Organisation, was specifically indicted by a
Judicial Commission of Inquiry for using millions of dollars of state
government funds to run the Buhari campaign, yet nothing happened and
his reward was to be appointed as a Minister.
Again, what about the five billion naira cash that was flown down to
Port Harcourt in Rivers State from Abuja in chartered plane a couple of
days before the re-run election that took place on March 19, 2016. Where
did they get that amount of cash from and what was its purpose and
source?

What has the EFCC said or leaked about that? It appears that there is
one law for those that are in power today and another for those that are
not. Why persecute the innocent and leave the guilty? Was it a crime to
fight and lose an election?
If Jonathan had not been a gentleman and if he had insisted on remaining
in power at all costs or challenging the outcome of the election in
court, would we have the peace that we are enjoying in our country
today?
Have those that are behind all this nonsense forgotten all that so soon
or is it that they are just drunk with power and they are on a mission
of revenge? If that is the case, are they then worthy of the power that
God has given them and should He not take it away from them before it is
too late and they set the country on fire?
If there was any wrongdoing, can the EFCC honestly put their hands on
their chest and say that those of us that were asked to do a job and
given money to do that job knew anything about it?
Were we the ones that sourced the funds and were we expected to launch
our own private investigation into where the funds came from before
accepting to receive and use them for the job we were asked to do?
In their heart of hearts, they know that the answer to the two questions
are both in the negative. Instead of going after the right people they
wish to use the situation to embarrass and shame those of us that they
see as the President’s political enemies and critics just to further
defame, malign and humiliate us and destroy our future and careers.

funds
This is vindictive, petty and wicked and, as long as the Lord is on the
throne, it will not stand. It is a very dangerous precedent and I
sincerely hope that all stakeholders take note of the implications of
what is brewing and going on.
It would be a very dangerous thing and utterly counter-productive for
this government to open a can of worms and try to implicate innocent men
and women, who were simply doing their job and who knew nothing about
any wrongdoing or illicit and illegal transactions or bank transfers of
public funds from or to government accounts.
I wish to remind them that they will not be in power forever. Sooner or
later, the tables will turn and they themselves will be subjected to the
malicious lies, false allegations, smear campaigns, injustice,
brutality and persecution that they are presently subjecting others to.
It is only a question of time.
Now, let the Ancient of Days and He who never sleeps or slumbers, the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, judge between this government and all
those innocent men and women that they are demonising and persecuting
and that they seek to torment and destroy.
As long as Jesus is on the throne and our hands are clean, no matter
how long it takes, we shall prevail and, ultimately, they will pay a
heavy price for their malice, injustice and wickedness.
These are facts and readers can be rest assured that I will say nothing
different to this if and when I am formally asked by anyone or any
agency. When the EFCC begins to leak their falsehood and sallacious
allegations to their agents in the media kindly take note of the fact
that, as usual, they will be telling tall tales and they will be lying.
Now, I challenge them to do their worst. I have no fear of them or of
those who have sent them to do this dirty job. May God judge them all
and may He reward them for their wickedness.
