Na wetin dey happen for America and Venezuela matter, Nigeria dey keep quiet like hin no dey concern person? E be like say Tinubu don carry mouth go type ‘do not disturb’ for behalf of we the people.
The silence for dis kind wahala wey dey between US and Venezuela no make sense at all. Wey Tinubu spokesman, Bayo Onanuga dey? Na im sabi talk well well, so why im no fit drop small word for dis matter? E no go too bad make we hear wetin Nigeria side dey talk?
As we dey observe, US don arrest Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, plus hin family. Dem suppose know say as e be, Nigeria as giant of Africa need to drop hin own opinion – whether na support or condemn wetin dey happen. Make dem no just dey keep quiet like say we no dey see anything.
Other countries don talk their own, including Ghana and even UN Secretary-General Anthony Guterres don raise alarm. Wetin go happen if Nigeria just sit down dey look like statue? Dis matter fit touch Nigeria one day, so e good make we carry our mouth come outside.
Maduro dey face big charges like narco-terrorism and cocaine importation. The world dey watch how US take arrest am, but e be like say na politics dey play here. Na wetin we go call am? Collaboration or wahala?
The big question wey dey hang be say, if person don commit crime and e still dey use hin position as president, wetin go happen? Wetin we dey learn for this one? No matter how dem take hide behind immunity, law go still catch dem one day.
And e no clear wetin go happen next. Instead of keeping quiet, Nigeria fit use dis chance to shine light on how rule of law matter for governance. Because anybody wey don commit crime no suppose dey hide under big title.
If we dey talk about international sovereignty, Nigeria need to stand up! We no fit let any opportunist carry we go back to dirty politics. Make we no dey Benue and Sokoto smartly dey align our naija politics and foreign affairs.
For now, the matter dey hot and oliva we need wetin the government go talk. Na true wey dem dey say silence fit mean consent, but this one clear say we must no carry our mouth for corner. Na time to shine light on any wetin dey happen.
As per my oga wey dey write for BusinessDay, this one no be matter wey should dey inside negotiation table alone; na time for Amadi type of journey wey raise awareness. Make we da listen, da watch, and make we no let this matter pass.
