Peter Obi’s condemnation of the temporary shutting down by the NAFDAC of a market notorious as a venue for manufacturing and selling fake drugs just shows that Nigeria dodged a bullet in 2023 and should not even think towards his side in 2027....TAP HERE TO READ THE FULL STORY..>>
There is no way you can target only those individuals and cartels manufacturing and selling fake drugs because they are clever individuals. They have collaborators and agents who mask their nefarious trade with a front business.
The only way to uproot the merchants of death selling fake at Onitsha Market is by temporarily shutting down the market and going from building to building to establish the extent of the malaise that kills hundreds of thousands of Nigerians annually.
If you allow the market to operate as usual, there will be entry and exit from the premises, which means these tricky individuals can ferry evidence out of the location.
Even in more developed democracies, the police and other law enforcement bodies temporarily close down the venue of a crime and seal it off with yellow crime scene tape. Crime control is more important than the profits that individual traders will make.
Behaviours like this led me to say that Peter Obi is a common trader and can never be an uncommon leader.
It makes no sense for Peter Obi to blame President Tinubu for the closure, as he did on video. This is an action by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, and it is not the first time it has been done.
Dora Alunyili did it in Anambra and Abia, and Peter Obi never blamed the then-president. So, why blame President Bola Tinubu now?
And I find it interesting that throughout his rant, not once did Peter Obi categorically condemn and call out the fake drug peddlers. Is Mr. Obi in support of their activities?
This is not surprising anyway. Nigerians must recall how Peter Obi sided with the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra when he said they are not terrorists and that he meets with them in Onitsha.
Last year, he also lied that a subsisting court judgment ordered the release of Nnamdi Kanu, and President Tinubu refused to obey it. Contrary to Peter Obi’s IPOB-inspired lies, in a unanimous ruling on December 15, 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that Nnamdi Kanu had a case to answer for treason. After that, on May 20, 2024, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja ruled that Nnamdi Kanu should be denied bail.
May God never let political power fall into the hand of a man who places individual profit above human life and secretly sides with those who want to end Nigeria.
