As the alleged sack of over 36 aides belonging to the vice president, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo continues to draw the ire of the public, human right lawyer Chief Mike Ozekhome(SAN) has bared his mind on the recent development.
The vice president, since their re-election,has fallen out of favor with some powerful decision makers in the presidency. It has been alleged that the cabals, out to undermine the authorities of the vice president, has taken various unpopular decisions, alll aimed at frustrating Prof Osibanjo out of Aso rock.
Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), said he has expected the the development long ago, saying that the vice president’s travails, he has predicted at initial stage.
He said: “I normally read situations and I say my own. Everything I have predicted in the last five years have always come to pass. I have made it clear and it is resounding now”, he said.
On the options before the vice president, the human right lawyer said:
“The first option is to get ready to pull his punches and fight like a man that has manhood. He should fight squarely, frontally and brutally like a man with manhood.
“The second option is that he should honourably resign as vice president of Nigeria before they pour more ashes on his head and before they bespatter his white garment with more muds and more excrement. In these two options, there are no grey areas at all. They are just the two options available.
“He should either put his hat in the ring to fight the cabal squarely. Atiku fought Obasanjo squarely to the knowledge of everybody in this country. He fought brutally whether in court or on the political scene. In every way, Atiku fought Obasanjo to a standstill and everybody was aware.
“So, Osinbajo should be ready to do what Atiku did by fighting with all he can but if he cannot, he should take the honourable way out by resigning quietly. Otherwise, he will be so rubbished and reduced in significance and importance that he will not even be accorded the status of being a glorified messenger.
“In a situation where the president can send Osinbajo to his home town to go and witness the turbaning of a small chief and documents are being sent to the president to sign Nigerian laws in London, it is a clear case that when the market is on fire, you do not tell the deaf and the blind. They will know when they feel the heat”, he said.
