It was with great shock that we read the
inglorious reaction of the Transition Monitoring
Group’s (TMG) to the verdicts of the Supreme
Court on the Akwa Ibom and Rivers States
election matters. The words used by the body in
describing the judgements and judges betray the
fact that this has always been a group set up by
desperate politicians to masquerade as
independent election observers while doing the
infamous bidding of their paymasters.
This is not surprising. Coming just very few days
after the national chairman of APC called for the
probe of the Supreme Court Justices over the
same issue, we do not need to look too far to
know who the sponsors of the so-called
“Transition Maligning Group” are.
To say that the Supreme Court judgements are
“clear cut attempts at legalising electoral
robberies”, is the most uncharitable thing anyone
or group could say about the Supreme Court.
What the TMG fails to understand is that unlike
their sponsors who are so desperate to “capture”
the oil-rich states especially, that they would do
anything including harassment, intimidation and
alleged attempt at bribing the honourable
justices, the Supreme Court justices are men of
integrity, fearless in their endeavours, audacious
in the dispensation of justice and unrelenting in
remaining the last hope of the common man and
the oppressed. The joy that greeted those
judgements across the nation is an eloquent
testimony to the fact that the honourable
justices are in tandem with realities in the land
and the law.
TMG should not think that everybody
condescends so low as to pervert justice like
they do in their analysis of justice dispensation
just because they live off the crumbs that fall
from their masters’ tables. One wonders where
groups like this were when the Supreme Court
upheld the elections of Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun
State, Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and even that
of Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State among many
others.
The statement by TMG smacks of recalcitrance
coupled with excessive exuberance and political
rascality taken too far. These attempts by APC,
their leaders and foot soldiers, to continue to
intimidate, insult, disparage and calumniate our
judiciary are absolutely unacceptable. One
wonders why TMG is so particular about Rivers
and Akwa Ibom States? Does this obsessive
concern for these states even as earlier
expressed by Oyegun not justify our position that
TMG has sold its soul to the devil?
Our organisation with over 500,000 members
nationwide is, however, consoled that no matter
the level of political brigandage exhibited by
insolent groups like the TMG, our courts shall
continue to remain the last hope of the common
man and the bastion of justice. We are most
glad that the justices of the apex court are
neither swayed by the archaic antics of groups
like TMG nor are they going to ever succumb to
their subtle threats.
Thank you.
