Onumba.com,USA ——- A competing narrative has emerged to challenge the earlier version of events involving the death of Colonel Abdussalam A. Ude.
But even with the shifting account of the shooting, at its core, the real problem in all of this remains unchanged.
The family is vigorously disputing media reports of this incident being a failed abduction of Col. Ude, expressing the view that his death was not a kidnap attempt, but rather a “calculated assassination by gunmen.”
Recall that media account of the circumstances leading to his death had initially blamed it on a botched abduction attempt by gunmen who ultimately shot him to death after he fought back in self-defense.
But the family dismissed that account, rather characterizing it as a cold-blood murder.
Authorities are actively investigating the matter.
Eventually, the truth will come to light, but in the meantime, there’s no denying that both narratives share two hard facts:
One —– unknown gunmen carried out the attack.
Two —– it reflects horrendously on a fumbling, bumbling Tinubu administration with no plan to address the growing menace of ‘unknown gunmen’ roaming and traumatizing a nation on edge.
Even as worry about the economy, joblessness and insecurity deepen, this hopelessly clueless president remain completely detached from reality, visibly blasé about the tormenting sting of the battered economy on Nigerian plebs.
You really have to wonder just how disconnected the guys is.
“Before I was born, there was hunger in this country,” said Tinubu, recently, as he defended his administration’s economic posture.
He added: “The quality of life is improving.”
No data, no proof, no nothing to back that up ——– just boring, depressing, hollow, and worthless platitudes. Yet he is shepherding a country pragmatically on a slippery slope to cataclysmic tinderbox.
“I have no control over the population development of Nigeria,” said the president.
He then urged churches to step in and help take care of the impoverished Nigerians.
“Churches should give hope to the people.”
Unhinged.
To borrow media mogul Oprah Winfrey’s reminder: “hope is not a plan.”
Former member of House of Representatives from Edo state Sergius Ogun agreed, and then shared these views.
Tinubu ——- along with a melting pot of incompetent buffoons he assembled, has “no plan to govern this country.”
“From day one, they didn’t come in to govern.” Rather, they came to loot.
There’s “no government as corrupt as this government.”
