Fascism Has Arrived Nigeria – Joe Okei-Odumakin

Fascism has arrived in Nigeria and the only way to avoid the disintegration of the country is the immediate restructuring of the country, Comrade Joe Okei-Odumakin, President, Women Arise has said.

In her first interview since the passage of her late husband, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, Comrade Okei-Odumakin called forthe urgent restructuring of the country to avoid the immediate implosion of the country.

She spoke in an interview with Daily Independent.

“Bearing in mind the way and manner in which Nnamdi Kanu was whisked into Nigeria recently, in circumstances yet to be fully explained, and the various efforts at enacting gag laws by the same Nigerian authorities, there is no denying the fact that fascism is already creeping upon Nigerians with the latest incident involving Chief Sunday Igboho.”

“The tell-tale signs of military dictatorship are rearing their ugly heads again under a supposedly democratic government of President Muhammadu Buhari. In this wise, it is certain that Igboho cannot be assured safety or justice if extradited to Nigeria.

“He should be released from detention unconditionally and his safety and liberty guaranteed by the Republic of Benin authorities under extant international law. The Nigerian authorities are better advised to stop chasing shadows but address the patent dangers posed to the country by the despicable elements it is treating with kid gloves.”

On how Nigeria can be saved from implosion, Okei-Odumakin called for the restructuring of the country which was the chorus of her husband before his death on April 2, 2021.

“It is the most urgent route, to stop the impending disintegration of this country and as such, must be taken seriously by anyone who genuinely have the interest of Nigeria at heart.

“Nigeria is at a tipping point where life has become brutish, short and nasty. Economic hardship in the midst of abundant resources and lack of unity, created by the lack of justice equity and fairness. These were the issues around the call for restructuring that Comrade Yinka and other patriots dedicated their lives, to advocate for.

“Even in his absence, we will continue to demand for the restructuring of Nigeria, not for the sake of our generation or our lifetime, but the future of the country, and generation yet unborn,” Okei-Odumakin said.
