In a post shared on his social media handle, former presidential
spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, said there is no opposition party in Nigeria.
Read the post below
I have read many articles and posts including my that of my brother
Segun Adeniyi, wondering out of frustration whether any opposition party
exists in Nigeria today.
As a matter of fact i can say it openly and without any equivocation
whatsoever or fear of reasonable contradiction that there is no
opposition party in the country.
The reason is very obvious and it is the very foundation of our national malaise.
Its simply ETHNICITY. This monster has done more harm to Nigeria as a
nation more than anything else. Sometimes we confuse it with Religion.
This is a sad fallacy. Ethnicity supercedes religion in terms of the
evils holding the Nation down.
MKO abiola was a muslim but when the chips were down Ethnicity shot him
down both as a party man in NPN and as a President elect in SDP.
Even more recently Asiwaju Tinubu national leader of the Apc though a
staunch muslim is more or less reduced to a southwest leader of Apc. He
will disagree with me for obvious reasons but i know what i am saying is
the Truth.
I recently read a piece ascribed to CAN where the latter was quoted as
haven said "" Baru a northern muslim insults his boss Kachukwu a
southern christian". This is pure ignorance. I may not know exactly what
is going on in NNPC but certainly it has nothing to di with religion.
Not only the leadership or the elites in Nigeria are decieving
themselves and the populace, the followers or ordinary citizens are
equally engulfed in grand self deception and delusion.
The media is worse and that is quite a national disaster.
But i make bold to say this : For as long as absence of TRUTH and
INJUSTICE are the pillars on which this country rests, true progress and
posoerity will be an illusion.
The word of God said in Psalm 97 verse 2 says that the Almighty God's
Throne rests on the two pillars of Rigteousness and Justice thetefore
any other throne that rests on Deception and injustice will not stand no
matter how pious, hardworking or puritan its leadership or its people
profess.
