Dear
President Jonathan, I never thought I was going to write to you again since
your eviction from the “Rock” because it was no longer worth it. But seeing how
ardently you are trying to invade our memories with “Ebele-Trojan Virus”, in a
bid to reformatting it- clearing off and replacing existing data, in an attempt
to rewrite history thereby playing on our intelligence, it became increasingly
incumbent on me to pen this short note to you.
Mr.
President, in a speech you delivered at the Annual Gala Dinner of Nigerian
Lawyers Association in the US.., you said and I quote: “Under my watch, not a single
Nigerian was sent to prison because of anything they wrote or said about me or
the Administration that I headed.” You must have forgotten about the military
attack on Nigerian newspapers that happened right under your watch on the 6th
and 7th June 2014. An event that saw Soldiers seized and in some
cases destroyed thousands of copies of several newspapers including Leadership,
The Nation, and Punch Newspapers. The general distribution centre for all
newspapers in Area 1, Abuja, was also sealed by soldiers and several newspapers
circulation staff were also harassed and detained in the process.
