DSS DG Lawal Musa Daura: A Deckhand Worse Than Treason!  

It is inconceivable in any political dispensation that Nigeria has ever known, not even at the height of the higgledy-piggledy PDP days of yore and yoke that a PDP President would send a name (in this case Ibrahim Magu as EFCC chairmanship designate) to the National Assembly for confirmation, and the President’s own appointee of another agency (Mr. Lawal Musa Daura, DG of DSS, worst of all a blood relation of Mr. President) would have the divergent temerity to by-pass internal advisory channels of the President and write to the National Assembly to challenge the President head-on in opposition to the President’s nomination and better judgment. In carrying out this audacious act, the present DG of DSS, Lawal Daura, openly heightened the drumbeats of public contempt for our President, as well as our battle-weary ruling party, making us out to the world as a stumbling, incompetent, self-contradicting, fathomlessly inane, lawless political poultry and kindergarten administration. Rather than march in step with Mr. President, the DG of DSS, unconcerned with the fact that the pen of history is constantly wet and scribbling, premeditatedly decided to work against the will, principles, image and honour of Mr. President, his own uncle, and the APC administration. Discerning and concerned Nigerians believe he did this because of assured accommodation by the opposition when, in the internal opposition cabal’s calculation, APC falls in 2019. History has recorded that rather than work in harmony with President Buhari, DG Lawal Daura chose to work intimately with the repelling and rebellious House of Senate led by a man whom political stakeholders of his own Kwara state constituency, in their own words in a press release dated July 13, 2017, described as “the reason why (Nigeria) is bleeding; using the position of the Senate Presidency to hinder sincere fight against corruption… confrontation with the executive arm of government for the removal of the Acting Chairman of the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission, preventing genuine infrastructural development through misplaced budget allocation, while…holding the nation to ransom through acts of legislative impunity.” In the above telling quote, you will notice that we have used no word of own, and have indeed left out more disparaging verdict of the Senate leadership.

Lucre for Lucifers

Judases don’t betray their victims for nothing. To be sure, betraying Mr. President, working pointedly against his envisioned priority legacy for all time, which is fighting corruption to a standstill, was not a decision taken for its sake by President Buhari’s mis-chosen Villa confidants and operatives. Like every Judas, they did so for profit. Evidence is loud that the President’s betrayers do not care a hoot about his principles, vision and aspirations for a corruption vanquished Nigeria. In their imagination, they calculated that President Buhari would not recover from his health crisis and that they needed to make as much friends with members of the incredibly rich corrupt PDP cabal so that they could obtain and stash away their own bullion vans and billions of fast money for life, well after Buhari, the only stumbling-block at the door-posts of Nigeria’s treasury, is gone. So, they diligently lullabied Mr. President to sleep; to look the other way and paved way for a gold-rush of opposition opportunists from the heart of PDP coven to take up critical political and technical appointments which should have gone to the original change missionaries of our victorious APC merger project throughout Nigeria. In life and politics in particular, it is human to make mistakes of judgment in the choice of human confidants, allies and aides. However, it will be imprudent for President Buhari to continue to nurse, retain and fatten the Brutuses of his aspirations for Nigeria by retaining his own saboteurs who did not only bring in the President’s enemy appointees into the yard but also enticed Mr. President long enough to retain former president Jonathan’s PDP appointees to stay put in their various stations throughout the country two years after a landslide change of power at the centre. It is an incredible run of political hypnotism by the President’s confidants and their sly PDP co-adventurers in the Presidency. The reverse of this misfortune is talismanic calamity for APC loyalists across Nigeria, and invariably Nigeria’s masses in general. For President Muhammadu Buhari to continue to retain these trust betrayers because they are long-time relatives will be sacrificing on the altar of nepotic blood ties the larger interest of 200 million Nigerians whose electorates brought him to power. Rather than feel bumped by this candid counsel, Mr. President may consider with humility the wisdom inherent in the words of famous American social essayist, Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake that I’m persecuted when I am contradicted.”
