Things Haven't Really Changed
I am compelled by a text message I received this morning from a colleague to comment on the above cartoon. His text reads: “Cracks (the appellation I sometimes go by), there must have been a mix-up in your cartoon today. I don’t know what US Ambassador Sanders has got to do with IGP.”
My answer is, a lot! While she was US Ambassador to Nigeria, Sanders attended every social and business gathering going because she understood our psyche, the way our government, politicians and business people conduct business.
The cartoon explains that she knew under what conditions and circumstances to meet our government officials if she were to obtain the kind of information she was seeking. Recent Wiki leaks attested to that, in the amount of “useful” info she forwarded to Washington in her cables.
Now, if you read the Vanguard story below, it beggars belief that paying a disgraced politician a social visit, solely for the purpose of apologising for not attending a social event would take priority over important state duties for an IGP on a Friday morning! The IGP’s action buttresses the fact that we socialise and fraternise more than we work!
I-G didn’t stop Bankole’s arrest – Police
VANGUARD JUNE 4, 2011
Abuja – The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Hafiz Ringim, did not stop the EFCC from arresting the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, police authorities said on Saturday in Abuja.
In a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Olusola Amore, the police said Ringim “did not direct, instruct or intervene’’ in the matter.
“The IGP is not aware of the presence of EFCC operatives at the former Speaker’s residence, nor did he speak or interact with the EFCC operatives,” Amore, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, said in the statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The police spokesman explained that the EFCC was not under the command of the Inspector- General of the Police and would not have involved him in its activity.
He added that the anti-corruption organisation was even at liberty to invite the former Speaker or anybody, without any recourse to the IGP.
“It was a mere coincidence that it was when EFCC operatives went to the house of the former Speaker that the IGP paid him a social visit.
“His visit was to apologise for not attending a social event which the former Speaker had invited the IGP to,” Amore said.(NAN)
