PDP And Its Fraternal Alliance With Corruption

DAVID E. OGUZIEREM

It is very surprising and shocking that the PDP members have not learnt their lessons. It has been proven that the name PDP is synonymous with corruption. PDP is corruption and corruption is PDP. No wonder, the PDP and its hoodwinked membership naturally gravitate towards defence of corrupt people and systems. 

It is dangerous how a struggling opposition party will naturally align with obviously corrupt and stinking situation.

I think the PDP has become the proverbial vulture that naturally and instinctively fly towards the dead. PDP has become a “union of vultures”. It flies towards rottenness and stinking environments. It takes joy in swimming in the pool of feaces, decayed objects and evil.

One may want to ask if the former Justice Onneghen is a card carrying member of PDP. Or is there a pact we are unaware, which is planned to be executed after the general elections. Was PDP planning to launch back through the back door, using the Supreme Courts? Was the huge deposit of funds in Justice Onnoghen accounts bribe money meant to deliver injustice? Was the CJN an accomplice of a gang up? Beyond the discovery of these questionable funds, the authorities should investigate the reason behind such huge deposits.

The removal of the CJN is timely. He is considered a Zeus or Pope in the temple of justice. He is not expected to be any less an angel. He must be holy at all times.

The CJN criminal kiss of the forbidden fruit is both an abomination and aberration. He pleaded guilty before his arraignment, by conceding committing the crime. I think the most honourable thing that CJN should have done to escape the hammer that has befallen him would have been to resign.

Now that he has been suspended, let his celebrated prosecution begin. If he is innocent, he will be reinstated, otherwise If he is found guilty, I wish him cool time in Nigerian prison system, where he has sentenced most innocent Nigerians over and over again, perhaps with blood money as a motivation.

Weep not for the Justice Walter ONNEGHEN, former CJN.
