Washington, D.C. – E be like say the juice don scatter for the Pentagon as Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, dey face serious wahala wey fit make am pack him load. Allegations of war crimes and one blistering report wey no dey smile don turn am to hot pepper for him tenure.

As lawmakers from both sides don dey shout say make Hegseth japa, him still dey stand gidigba like stone. E still dey enjoy Donald Trump support, no be small matter. But the twin troubles wey dey follow am no go gree make am sleep. Dem say Hegseth don dey mishandle classified military intelligence and na him case dey shine like flashlight for dark night.

Dem don expose how survivors wey cling to wreckage after one boat strike for September come face another lethal strike wey dem suppose avoid – dem call am double-tap attack. Na there the controversy don burst everywhere. Hegseth try dismiss the gist say na lie, but later, during one cabinet meeting, e go confirm say, “I no fit stick around after the first strike.” (No be like say you go yans and run away?)

Senator Patty Murray don join the chorus wey dey call for Hegseth to pack his bags. She dey talk say e dey jeopardize soldiers’ lives, and na this one wey fit make people start to wonder if the man dey fit carry the responsibility wey come with the job

For the Caribbean, e dey hotter because of Trump administration’s strategy wey dey aim to dey sink boats wey carry suspected drug smugglers. But, as usual, the matter no too clean. Trump dey claim say every boat wey dem destroy dey save 25,000 American lives. E clear say even fact-checkers dey shake head on that one (who dey count the bodies like football match?).

As if na wetin go make Hegseth rest small, one report wey drop from the Inspector General show say e don violate Pentagon policies by sharing classified info via Signal app. Like person wey no dey think well, e dey gree make all these classified matters enter public domain through his personal phone like say na old school gbas gbos.

Sabi experts and lawmakers dey raise eyebrow say dis strike na joke or wetin? Even Trump people dey ask questions. Hegseth dey try defend the moves with strong language like “we go find you and sink you.” (Abeg, you dey prove wetin how? With Miami Vice style?)

For inside all the kasala, some lawmakers dey try reason well, saying if dem wan fight fentanyl, dem suppose shift focus back to Mexico instead of Caribbean waters. Common sense no be common again abi? Even one former national security advisor dey talk say e no make sense the way things dey follow through. E dey scatter and no be wetin people fit understand easily.

Despite all these wahala, GOP lawmakers still dey keep their mouth shut, while some dey show slight doubt. E even reach third parties wey dey speak on behalf of military operations. Na who wan cover Hegseth now? E be like say na die-hard GOP fans but how far dey wan go?

E good to remind ourselves say no matter wetin happen, Hegseth dey bold as e stand for his ground. Him gree talk say e no dey run from the wahala, but the clock dey tick and the calls for his resignation dey gather like rain clouds upon ojoro season. How e go end, we go just dey look.
