The job of lying, blackmailing, insulting, slandering and scandalizing the government Jonathan was much easier for Lai Mohammed than his current assignment as the minister of information. Because of his perfidious nature and character, he effortlessly and mindlessly executed that assignment to the admiration of the chieftains of All Progressives Congress (APC) including Buhari, the so called Mr Integrity.
Back then, Mohammed could say just anything and nothing was too vile and demeaning for to say against the government. Lai Mohammed lied, slandered, insulted, blackmailed, scandalized and took Nigerians into frenzy and as a reward Mr Integrity has promoted him to the rank of a cabinet minister in charge of lying and confusing Nigerians while he and APC freebooters/pirates fleece Nigeria.
In creation nothing is useless because everything was created for a purpose. Lai Mohammed seems to be useful at destroying rather than building, misinforming rather than informing. Having him as the minister of information is an anomalous appointment in a government that professes change.
The ministry of information is for promoting the government and its programs to the citizenry rather than lying and attacking of the opposition.
APC has never shown character in terms of an ideology, being a party of its own and having well thought out and defined social, economic and security blueprint for Nigeria. Except for being known then as an opposition party and in the present as the ruling party, it’s practically impossible to define APC as a political party.
APC has no true existence, life, focus, programs, etc, of its own. APC can only be defined relative PDP. Their campaign promises were relative PDP’s. In fact, it’s flippancy spree and that’s why immediately after the elections, the promises were recanted.
What I’m trying to say is that the sudden change of role has left APC in a quandary. APC is yet to recover from the mentality its former role of destructive opposition. APC is still seriously in the business of opposition, still treating PDP as the ruling party which must be blamed for everything that goes wrong in Nigeria, more that 5 months after Buhari was sworn in as the president. The blame and the lying game continues.
The man that is very good at telling lies can not possibly be good at telling the truth. Satan can not play the role of Christ neither darkness the role of light.
Buhari and APC insisting on forming the government with those that came out with Buhari from the cave or bush has been such a burden on Nigerians that had been practically carried away by APC’s frenzied activities. If I were such a pathological liar like Lai Mohammed, for the sake of Nigerians, I would have declined that appointment. Besides, the task of telling the truth which is what this government needs to secure the cooperation of Nigerians, is certainly going to be laborious for Lying Mohammed.
Many issues in Nigeria are begging for explanation under Buhari’s messiac government but this silly snooping dog has suddenly turned deaf and dumb. Opposition can be run successfully with lies, propaganda, blackmail, slander and scandals but not a government.
No government can be run successfully with these stuffs. Nigerians are tired of Buhari and APC and may not be patient over the unfolding disaster. They often say he that’s down fears no fall. Nigerians are already down and would not afraid of a fall. Somethings are better be done than be told….ooooh!
