Experience in plying
the principles of pluralism
ABM -vs- JKG
Dear Colleagues,
I won’t mention
names a few from JK Gadzama’s side some of my real good colleagues asked me to
intervene again. So I asked why would you want JBD to now back down on ABM?.
Here are some of the interesting arguments:
1.
That politics and
professionalism should mix particularly in
the learned profession where the State of the nation becomes a regular feature;
2.
That President Buhari is an
example when a Southerner in this
instance Alegeh hands over power to
someone from Fulani stock. Buhari showed nil gratitude to Jonathan and
even deliberately set out to humiliate him and his people despite a smooth and historic
handover;
3.
They said till date despite
protestations 75% of the appointments Buhari makes are Muslim North the latest
being yesterday’s two Bold Women championed #BringBackOurGirls
campaigns one North and the other Dr Oby Ezekwesili. While the young Northern
girl has carted home her booty Oby
Ezekwesili is licking the wounds of the campaign yet Oby was good.
4.
They said perhaps following
these examples ABM appoints his campaign Chair and co-Chair and DG all of
Northern extraction, Muslim;
5.
That even in the thick of
campaigns Northern Muslim Judges publicly insult JBD re: his handling of some
sensitive matters of national interest;
6.
That two Christian women
were beheaded one in Kano and another in Abuja and we are still waiting for our
country’s President Buhari to condemn it; the signal being possibly to frighten
Christian girls.
7.
That Fulani herdsmen slit throats
of Nigerians, Shiites were also victims;
8.
That even though ABM is
married to a Christian Judge the most senior and competent in Kano they would not
let her be CJ and did ABM fight for his second half and if he didn’t will he
fight for others esp Christian Lawyers – NBA has a largely Christian population in
excess of 75%
9.
That if ABM is not speaking
for Christians now it is highly probable he won’t as President of a powerful professional
organization!
10.
That an ABM Presidency
would likely encourage PMB to persecute Christians more and as generally
has a quiet mien, he would mute it;
11.
That ABM does not pick
calls and at his NBA campaigns 2016 he would keep Lawyers waiting for hours
beyond the appointed time albeit with apologies. Not a deliberate act though these
probably due to delayed flights and so on and you know ABM does not own a
private jet;
12.
Learned friends
threaten that if ABM wins there will be crisis that they were probably going to
form a parallel Bar and I joked and said ‘I
don’t want to be the Dame of a parallel Bar! One Bar one People plitz.’
Distinguished
Colleagues as things stand JB Daudu SAN tells me, I was on a long chat with him for two hours yesterday Tues 12th July, he says he cannot
back down on ABM.
Thanks colleagues for
finding time to read this long thesis.
God Bless you ALL.
