Ali Adoyi: Okwori Onaji’s incarceration: If Owukpa leaders were gods
Leadership is synonymous to followership. The only difference is that leaders are meant to implement what their followers want.
This may have formed the basis for the arrest of one of our own, Okwori Onaji, a local activist, who moved to address the press over the alleged activities of illegal miners in Owukpa, a community in Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State. The youths wanted to be carried along and had called for openness in the community’s agreement with the investors, but were sidelined. Do they deserve to know what is happening in their own community or not?
What is the relationship between a peaceful press conference and and an AK47 riffle? He who presses charges must prove. The leadership should begin to think out ways to explain to Nigerians when and how Okwori suddenly become a common criminal without a check on his antecedents. Instead of arresting and incarcerating our own just for the simple reason of asking questions, the energy would have been channeled towards influencing developmental project which ODA leadership have failed to influence over time. Why are they taking the issue of coal so personal as though it belongs to some cabals?
