NIGERIA'S OFFICEHOLDERS HAVE NO CONSCIENCE
It is obvious that Nigerian political officeholders have no conscience.
When shall we have political messiahs as Nelson Mandela of South Africa and Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore? When shall we have responsible lawmakers that will checkmate the excesses of the executives in Nigeria?
We hear of presidential yacht, cars allowances to lawmakers, vice presidential residence upgrade and now we hear of 420 delegates traveling to Dubai for climate change conference. More sleazes are still coming out, much more are not being made public, unreported.
What will 420 or over 590 delegates be doing in the so-called climate change conference in which Nigeria will merely make the numbers as nominal participants? There is nothing significant Nigeria will contribute to the conference that some of us have not said in the past since 1999 that these delegates will say.
How morally justified of Nigeria to be in the gathering for climate change with such bloated delegation when Nigeria is still flaring gas? Few days ago, I had cause to mention how Nigeria gas is being flared recklessly and here some ignorant people are happy to attend climate change conference in Dubai to waste public resources.
In 2018, Nigeria lost $761.6 million to gas flaring according to experts, and between January 2022 and 2023, data obtained from the National Oil Spill Detection And Response Agency has shown that Nigeria lost N843Billion to gas flare.
It's shameful that Nigerian leaders and hangers-on are attending global summits talking of climate change when gas is still being flared and no plan is in place to utilize the natural gas that is being flared. What a self-mockery?
Power has blinded Tinubu. To him, the climate summit is another opportunity for empowering idle people in the name of patronage.
Wonders will not stop in Nigeria. No one placed a gun on Tinubu to seek to be elected president. And here, he is further draining Nigeria with all kinds of frivolous projects.
