This is what we call leadership and portraying one’s country in good esteem and good light; unlike the quality of leadership and uninspiring leadership we have today. This man was slaughtered like a fowl by overzealous, misguided and insane trigger – happy officers, some of the relics of that brutal military dictatorship and entropy, whereof are still in the corridors of Nigeria’s power base to this day.
This humble man might not have been perfect, of course his government might have been wanting somewhat in governance and the machinery of delivering the country’s over – expected hasty hopes and aspirations, but can shooting him like a dog in the bush by some crazy military officers ever be justified and defended an iota.
The dire and diabolical consequences of killing this man and so many others still haunt the whole Nigeria nation to this day.
We should apply some sober catharsis on the murder of this man, reflect and ask for eternal forgiveness from not only the Gods, but from a whole family, a whole region and a whole country we traumatised by murdering this man and many others, and only then can we and will we ever see any semblance of peace in Nigeria!!
