The Nation Newspaper Jagaban 110: Managing nasty businesses away from combustion
It was another very exciting week around President Bola Tinubu; it was a week of moderately measured number of activities, but it was also a week of events and activities of high impacts. It opened into the forays trailing the very provocative and rather bizarre ‘business’ in Okuama, Ughelli South council area of Delta State.
In her piece titled “Okuama: Beyond the talks of reprisals”, published in the Punch edition of Thursday last week, an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas, Austin, Abimbola Adelakun, already described the sort of fate that befell communities in the country where similar sacrileges have occurred, while she successfully called our attention to the soldiers’ humanity.
So, to sustain the morale and at the same time prevent a situation where the army will go berserk, on Sunday, he made the first step by condemning the hate-filled conduct of the killers of the soldiers, eulogized the armed forces for their unequalled role of keeping the nation safe, then capped it by giving the army a go-ahead to fish out the perpetrators, only the perpetrators.
Then on Tuesday, he met with the Delta State Governor, Oborevwori, in something of a strategy meeting on the situation. After the meeting, the governor, who would usually not stop to speak with the State House Press Corps, made a stop at the Press Gallery to give a media briefing. He was there to brief the C-in-C on the situation of things.
Making three public statements on the nasty business in Okuama, within one week, resonated, very loudly; the rejection of the abhorrent act. Nigeria, its government and people, will not condone it and we all must take notice of this. It also pushes out the narrative that our personnel, in whichever service, are considered as valued assets, who must be appreciated and respected.
