A Non-Governmental Organisation, FACE OF WAZIRI-NIGERIA, has taken a swipe on the former Commissioner for Information in Edo state, Kassim Afegbua, over call for the extradition of former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku to United States.
The group’s Director General, Mr Ade Bukky, in a statement issued on Thursday, stated that Afegbua’s call was misguided and confirmed that he lacks principles.
Bukky said “Kassim Afegbua in our reckoning is like an Abiku whose bangles cast in vain repeatedly but to no avail, he is really not a factor in molding or influencing public opinions via the media as he is been perceived by his paymasters, who again have oiled his wheel to like a rabid dog bite on impulse,this again is another failed attempt.
“By all parameters and social index available now the only symbol for the restoration of hope,unity,economic rebound,improved world view and holistic positive development in Nigeria is none other than the Waziri Adamawa, Alhaji Atiku Abubarka.
“For the umpteenth time,Kassim Afegbua need be thoroughly upbraided for trying to embark on a fruitless journey of throwing tantrums just to make Waziri lose his sustained tempo, we are not oblivious of the truth on this matter he (Afegbua) is making frantic effort to recalibrate in the public domain, as overtime Atiku’s name has been cleared and adjudged free of link to any fraudulent activities both home and abroad .
“And contrary to his claims, Atiku is a free man whose entry and exit in and out of America remains un-gaged by any legal snags of fraudulent conduct, as several interface with concerned authorities over there and even EFCC here confirmed his clean bill-of- health as regard tendencies of fraud.
“At this point I feel it is right to raise few posers, that further affirms Afegbua need have his head cross examined by medical experts. Is Afegbua now a public analysts solely in business against Atiku? What more lies has he in his kitty to feed the minds of innocent Nigerians? Is it not high time,less attention is afforded this character devoid of any moral rectitude?
“Waziri Adamawa has overtime proved his worth right from his school days, a passionate lover of the people, been a voice for the students via the Student Union back then, he has made sterling and indelible contributions across all duty post where he had discharged his roles smartly and unaided.
“At the Customs and in business he remains an A-flyer with over 100,000 staffers on his payrolls, taking to politics he also was already elected Governor before he was picked to partner Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as Vice President, so his capacity and leadership fecundity are not in doubt.
“‘If wishes were horses even the beggar would have a ride” Afegbua’s outburst is nothing but a figment of his own imagination oozing from an induced source but this and many more won’t stop the wheel of progress in Atiku’s camp, we are certainly more than conqueror.
The FOW boss however, urged the public to sieve any information they are been fed by Afegbua.
“As posited by Joseph Campbell, “Wars and Temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance;regrets are illuminations come too late”.
“Afegbua’s regret lately is that he has falling out of favour with someone whose time of glory is near and it is well understood but he should desist from making unfounded claims, at least he should think of posterity.” Bukky said.
He maintained that for Afegbua who was Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign organization’s spokesman before to now embark on this campaign of calumny, smacks of desperation.
“The Jennifer saga is clearly spurious and need be ignored in its entirety, no queries of financial impropriety could be traced to Atiku as he has been clearly absolved of it all.
“As against the rule of law, justice and transparency ambassador toga Afegbua intends to wear with his recent malicious and scandalous claims, he pass of as a greedy blackmailer in the minds of clear headed individuals to whom his claims lack weight of sincerity.”Bukky reiterated.
