APC Women Leader in Edo state, Barr. Rahmatulai Goldfish Ilavbare shares her thoughts about the current Insecurity in the country.
In a post she shared on Facebook, Goldfish warn her friends and foes in pdp and Apc.
The post reads: Stop burning bridges over politicians. They are not worth it. If you have any you believe in, please support them and allow others be.
In Edo state , I trust and believe in the leadership of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Hon. Julius Ihonvbere. if a time in the future present itself, I will work again for them for free. I have heard POI and his wife talk about good governance, their ideas and aspirations especially about people and their personal development plans; the most passionate and well articulated plans I ever heard from a politician and spouse.
Hon. Prof on the other hand has reintroduced the importance of education and capacity building to my counstituency by the programmes now been taken advantage of in the 22 wards that make up Owan federal constituency. 85% of the time, he is present at home to supervise these programs himself. Let it be known that the last time an essay competition was held in Owan was in 1984 and I was one of the two students who represented Owan; my essay made the top 3. Prof. has revived essay writing competitions.
Now, my post this morning is on the insecurity in the country. The ineptitude of the government at the Federal and State level in the handling of crime and criminals all over the country is saddening and embarrassing not to mention the hugh sums( unaccounted for) as security votes to governors on a monthly basis.
The audacity of some state governors including my state ‘Edo’ to prioritize the arrests of people not wearing facemasks (covid 19 ) over insecurity is disheartening.
In fairness to Kaduna and Borno states, they have earned the right to collect their security votes and make extra demand to fight insecurity.
I have never been so angry at a government like I am now and how do I blame everyone else and ignore the one I love so much President Muhammadu Buhari? I would never have accepted this from any other President.
I hurt to say this but Buhari was my first reason for joining APC; Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu and Hon. Prof. became my second reason in 2019. I have earned my place in politics by being faithful, loyal and honest to Nigeria and to myself. For you all standing on the sidewalk ready to throw shades at the President and his men, you and your family members are also guilty for the mess this country has become. If you support illegality, abuse your spouses and children, enjoy corruption, neglect to pay your taxes, enjoy spending Ill gotten wealth let me see you cast the first stone.
Insecurity has dimmed all the efforts of President towards building lasting structures for the country. The calculated kidnapping of our children daily is inhuman and must be condemned by Nigerians. The palpable fear we now permanently live in is suffocating.
Selfish Nigerian touts have taken over 4 regions( South West, South South, South East and North East) for selfish gains.Their sponsors are ensuring that they throw this country into a needless war but guess what? Their families are Nigerians in Nigeria.
On Saturday, kidnappers struck in Ago-Auchi road and released their victims in a bush in Afuze, Owan East ( Afuze is about 8 minutes drive to ihievbe my village).
Between December 2020 and March 2021, mass kidnappings of school children have occured at least once a month and even though released, more than 900 children have been kidnapped and every day, Nigerians are kidnapped( sometimes killed) in their homes, farms, on the highways etc. This is just kidnap not deaths recorded from armed robbery, cult wars etc. The incessant criminal activities in the country requires more action than prayers.
Mr. President, I ask you and your Governors including the Minister of the FCT, which way Nigeria? Nigerians would like to know.
