Surprise As Rufai Oseni Reveals Position On Military Government

Renowned Nigerian TV host, Rufai Oseni, has issued a stern warning against the notion of a military government in the country, emphasizing that it would lead to chaos and disorder.

Oseni conveyed this message in a social media post shared on the platform X, reiterating his belief in citizens’ right to criticize the civilian government and hold them accountable for their actions.

Oseni stressed the importance of maintaining faith in Nigeria, particularly in light of the recent elections, which demonstrated that Nigerians can unite and collaborate effectively.

He went on to condemn the historical record of military rule, highlighting instances where media outlets were arbitrarily shut down and journalists faced threats and persecution while performing their duties.

Despite his concerns, Oseni cautioned politicians to exercise caution, as their flagrant disregard for the law and disruptive behavior will inevitably lead to unfavorable consequences. He called for an end to political violence and urged the people to remain steadfast in their efforts to eradicate corruption from the nation’s electoral system.

He wrote, “Perish the idea of a military government.

“The military government is a terrible government. Fela’s House was burnt down, his mother beaten and thrown down the stairs and in the end the FMG claimed they were unknown soldiers. In the military era, media houses were closed arbitrarily and Journalists targeted and threatened for doing their Job.

“The civil service was terribly damaged and the military arbitrariness brought a culture of corruption to the civil service, there are stories of children who lived in well manicured lawn GRA homes and by 6pm their lives changed for the worse when the sack of their parents was announced on NTA and they were told to vacate their property with immediate effect. I believe as citizens we must keep calling out our civilian govt and hold them accountable but a military govt is a return to anarchy.

“Also let’s stop lying, things were terrible under the military in the time of Abacha inflation was extremely high and life was very austere for people. Our govt must be accountable. I once had an older friend that a military leader once summoned because his Newspaper put a picture of the boss not smiling.

“If you think things are bad, remember our seat of power was once a place for all sorts of exotic orgies during the Military era and the scale of corruption was brazen.

“The people must never stop believing in Nigeria, the last elections showed the Nigerians can actually coalesce efforts, Nigerians must also hold the institutions accountable and see how to make democracy work.

Also, politicians must be careful, their brazen lawlessness and destabilising tendencies will definitely not end well, the governors must not turn the local government into their fiefdom like they are doing now, we must let the local governments breathe! Shame on all past Governors that never held local government elections at the right time.

“The politicians must also cease the use of violence as violence begets violence and the people will stand up to remove the vestiges of evil from our electoral process. I believe that Nigeria will survive but we must do right.”
