Ozekhome Blasts Presidency over Rats’ Invasion

Human rights lawyer and legal luminary, Chief Mike Ozekhome
(SAN) on Tuesday blasted the presidency over statement credited to
it that President Muhammadu Buhari would have to work from home
pending the cleaning of his office which was invaded by rats and
rodents.

Ozekhome, a constitutional lawyer also lampooned the Buhari’s
government of deriding Nigeria in many respect, as the country has
never been so bad since amalgamation by Lord Lugard and his wife,
Flora Shaw.

He said: “It is a very shameful and disgraceful statement that
emanated from the presidency to the effect that PMB, after a whole
105 days abroad on medical grounds, cannot work from his office
because of rats and rodents.

“So, a whole Julius Berger, the German construction giant has to
be called in to drive them away and repaint the office! This
statement further derides and shames Nigeria as a country. Why
didn’t the same, or similar rodents pursue Obasanjo, Yar’Adua,
Jonathan during their presidency?” he asked.

Ozekhome maintained that “for truth, there is another mini
office at the villa quite different from the official residence and
main office. Let Buhari work from them.

“Let’s see our president working, not through still photo
shopping. For how long will this government take the Nigerian
citizens for a ride and for robots?

“Who told the image makers we are as brainless as they are?
Don’t they know that lies have expiry date and that propaganda
cannot substitute for image making? Goebel was a fantastic World
War propagandist, but failed woefully as information minister.

“Let this opaque government of barefaced misinformation, lies,
deceit and cluelessness know that its directionlessness and
incapacity to govern are hurting this country badly.

“The economy is in horrific tatters, image bald-battered,
security shattered, governance mangled and transparency and
accountability interred. Nigeria is today more divided, more
hate-inebriated, more crisis- ridden and more dangerous
precipice-prone than ever before.

“Nigeria is today more derided, more excoriated and more corrupt
than it has ever been. Nigeria has never had it so bad since her
forced amalgamation on January 1,1914,by imperious Lord Lugard and
his wife Flora Lugard (nee Shaw, who actually named the country
after Niger-Area), Ozekhome added.
