Ngige’s Attack on Asiwaju: A Reflection of Bad Leadership in NigeriaBy Salami Olakunle Muritala.Silence has long ceased to be the best answer to a fool. It appears the age-long saying has a territorial limit. Not Nigeria. Such a dangerous silence will rather continue to give room for more abominable public displays.Dignity is a like a glass house. Whoever values it will never throw stone, for its consequence is always brutal. One of the attributes of a good leader is dignity. A dignified leader is never found wanting of dignity either in public or privacy.While dignity remains one of the important requirements in the selection of leaders to shoulder a national task in most advanced countries, the converse seems to be case in Nigeria. The ridiculous thespian displays by the supposed leaders of this great nation are becoming intolerable.If everyone of the ministers was truly subject to thorough scrutiny, a misfit like Ngige would not have emerged a minister. Trivializing a matter of national importance, with unnecessary allusion to a dignified personality in the country further reinforces his unworthiness as a Minister of Labour and Employment.The National Assembly, a symbol of authority, is crucial to the sustainability of democratic system. Such a symbol of authority should be accorded the respect it deserves.Unfortunately, Ngige, who was once a member of the red wing of the chamber, was never expected to cause Nigerians international embarrassment through his unguarded statements, aimed at tarnishing the prestine personality of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.His outburst on the floor during an interrogation on Tuesday July 21, 2020, is a further confirmation that he didn’t deserve the current position he occupies. His people know him that he lacks good character.Ngige is a societal misfit that needs intensive psychological check and treatment.I had wondered about the factors responsible for the country’s underdevelopment; Ngige has just confirmed the faulty process of selecting and appointing people to direct sensitive affairs in this country.It is a pity that we have allowed a misfit like Ngige to occupy his current ministerial position. Sound and promising minds from his state were denied the opportunity to transform their fatherland. With his outburst, he has dealt a terrible blow to the goodwill the igbo enjoy among the Yorubas.People like him are a threat to security and inter-regional relations in the country. It is quite unfortunate that he directed his poisonous outburst against his benefactor, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.On so many occasions, Asiwaju has assisted his career but chose the ignoble option of a betrayer.In his desperate bid to parry the questions directed at him over the allegations he raised he failed to provide sensible answers. Instead, he unleashed attack on his benefactor.It is worthy of mention that the minister’s derogatory remark on the great people of Mushin and Asiwaju will sing his requiem and facilate his political obituary. It is just a matter of time.Isn’t it unreasonable for an insignificant element like Ngige to equate himself with Bola Tinubu. Sleep can never be equated with death. The difference is very clear. Ngige, a man of abominable character, can never be on the same level with Asiwaju.Friday 24th July, 2020.
MOA PRESS RELEASE26th March, 2020Coronavirus (Covid-19) Disease; MOA urges communities to seek information from reliable sources and guide against panicking*LOCAL SITUATION AND CURRENT MEASURES*1.Currently, in Nigeria, we have 51 confirmed cases, of which 32 are in Lagos, 10 in Abuja and the rest are in Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Edo and Bauchi states respectively, 1 have passed away and 2 has been discharged, and most of the rest remain stable for improvement.2. The moment a case is confirmed, Government activate contact tracing to identify close contacts and quarantine them as soon as possible,so as to reduce further spread of the disease.3. Government has strengthened the checks at our airports and borders to detect and isolate cases before coming into contact with the Nigerian communities.4. Also, to reduce the risk of importation, they have stemmed the inflow of travellers by imposing border controls and issue travel advisories to advise Nigerians to defer their travel plans until the situation around the world is under control.5. The government has put in place many measures to reduce imported cases, trace and isolate any such as soon as possible to prevent spread. But everyone of us needs to play our part in practising good personal hygiene, social responsibility and safe distancing measures.Following announcement that all non essential markets venues should be closed from today 26th March for seven days, we are aware a number of residents the closure would be affected and the economic impacts on the mushines. The Lagos State Government decision to enforce stricter safe distance measures aims to significantly reduce the risks of seeding new local Covid-19 clusters, which would strain our healthcare system further. MOA implores all residents to implement all necessary precautionary measures including ensuring a distance of at least a metre between everyone and reduce mingling amongst people. We equally appeal to mushines and lagosians in general to exercise good judgement and social responsibility during this time. This will play an important part in keeping fellow Nigerians and our loved ones safe in the midst of this global pandemic.Finally, we appreciate the two Chairmen, Hon. Emmanuel O. Bamgboye and his counterpart Hon. Rasaq Olushola Ajala; Mushin Local Government Council and Odi-Olowo Ojuwuye LCDA respectively for their efforts thus far in information sharing and awareness at this critical period.We implore them to intensify efforts in domesticating this information gathering and sharing from streets to streets or Ward to Ward level for more awareness and guide against panics and false information. MOA as an entity is ready to partner in this regard, I hope that lagosians and mushines in particular will support these measures and keep the good hygiene habits which will play an important role in our fight against Covid-19.*STAY AT HOME, STAY SAFE!!!*MOA-Mushin Odi-Olowo Agenda.
