SENATOR MAGNUS NGEI ABE IS A DISGRACE TO OUR NATION

It is a known fact all around the world that the essence of punishment is to correct the offender and not to destroy him. Irrespective of position and power, offenders must be punished according to the rule of law. But unfortunately, reverse has been the case in Nigeria, considering the manner that offenders are deliberately ignored or protected from punishment as if what they have done is not really a big deal after all. This particularly have become a common phenomenon in Nigeria, especially in the corridors of power.

On January 12, 2014, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, who is supposed to be a role model not only for the people who voted him to represent their interest in the apex legislative house in the nation but also for the upcoming generations, suddenly came up acting acting a drama of anarchy to promote political violence in Rivers State. He lied before the whole world that he was shot by the Nigeria Police at Rumuola in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State at a political rally organized by the Save Rivers Movement.


He was rushed by his APC colleagues to an hospital in Port Harcourt where he was reported to be treated and subsequently recommended for a better treatment abroad with a false report that he was shot and his health condition had become such critical that only an emergency treatment abroad would save his soul. He was flown to a London hospital for urgent medical treatment only for the doctors abroad to discover that he his health was normal and the medical report from Nigerian doctors was false.

This disgrace have destroyed the entire Nigerian doctors and hospitals beyond repairs. It was so sad that the doctors easily understood the kind of dirty and evil politics played by Nigerian politicians. Magnus Abe turned out to be a big disgrace to mankind and a bad example of evil politicians anywhere in the world.

Unfortunately for our nascent democracy, on the return of Magnus Abe to Nigeria, he refused to provide evidence that he was shot. The Senate investigation into the crisis gave no conclusive report. He was neither questioned nor interrogated to substantiate or debunk his claim. This is very sad as it continue to encourage more evil politics and violent crises in the nation.

You will recall that when the problem of the Boko Haram started, that was how the concerned authorities refused to take the issue seriously until the little spark of fire became a wild one that is fast growing beyond control. It has been the bad attitude of government to continue opening their eyes and allow anarchy to become order of the day.

To show that Magnus Abe himself is not remorseful, on Saturday, February 15, 2014, he organized a thanksgiving service at Saint Barth's Anglican Church, Bera-Ogoni in Gokana LGA of Rivers State, where The Nation newspaper reported yesterday (Sunday) that Magnus Abe displayed the doctor's report from the Princess Grace Hospital, London, confirming that he was shot by Nigeria Police. To buttress this claim, he said during the thanksgiving service that it was God who saved his life from the police gunshot he sustained.

This is another serious development aim towards promoting anarchy as preached by Amaechi and APC in Rivers State. Delay defeat justice. The unnecessary delay being exercised by the concerned authority that is supposed to do justice on this case is giving these satanic politicians unnecessary grace of time to deface a gunshot wound with another grand designed lie. This is annoying to the younger generations in Nigeria that there is no justice and seriousness to discourage violence.

At same Saint Barth's Anglican Church, preachers of anarchy were allowed to take over the day to preach evil instead of sermon. Among them is Governor Rotimi Amaechi, the Chief Satanic Officer (CSO) who took advantage of what 'political-men-of-god' has turned Church into to preach heresy.

Is it not heresy for him to claim at the occasion that he is a prophet who sees vision, whether of God or doom, he didn't specify. But according to him, he claimed that one Apostle Johnson Suleiman saw a vision long time ago that the Supervising Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom Wike would betray him (Amaechi). He said he confronted Wike in the presence of one Chima Chinye when Wike swore with his children that he would not betray him. In conclusion, Amaechi swore that he will mobilize Rivers people to thwart the governorship bid of Wike. Is this a kind of message that a reasonable governor should be preaching in the house of God, if actually he is not a prophet of doom. Obviously, he is seeking every available avenue to come up with any story just to achieve selfish political goal of destroying the ambition of Wike by all means.

Sincerely, everybody have right to their own belief. But it is of great concern for us in this country that Senator Magnus Abe is given a free hand as an agent of doom to violence and lawlessness in our society. He is a disgrace to our country and a shame to the national House of Senate. It is also very sad that members of the apex legislative arm of government in the country also open their eyes, not even showing concern of redeeming their dented image by coming up with conclusive report on their investigation into the shooting saga, purposely to discourage such disgraceful dirty politics in future, considering the sensitive security situation of Rivers State.

However, there are many questions to ask. But the most worrisome one is that, can there be justice in Nigeria, or is this how government will allow impunity and dirty politics ruin the whole nation beyond repairs? As the situation is going without reasonable intervention to maintain law and order, it will definitely get to a stage that angry citizens might start taking laws into their own hands. But another question is that, may the dirty and figure-head politicians who behave like nothing serious is not happening not ended up becoming the first victims.
