Alhaji Abubakar
Tsav has condemned the removal of General Martin Luther Agwai of his
appointment as chairman of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme
(SURE-P).
According
to former Commissioner of Police, the move shows that the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) was running a government of, ‘Winner takes all.”
Tsav noted: “This
is not a good enough for the country as it depicts intolerance, greed and
selfishness. The sack must have served as a relief to General Agwai who
reluctantly accepted the job. In addition, he did not allow the job to affect
his thinking, judgment and loyalty cum esprit de corps towards his superior
officer and former C-in-C, General Olusegun Obasanjo.”
Tsav said that
the SURE-P job did not influence or deflect Agwai from speaking the truth,
hence his presentation during OBJ’s 78th birthday day celebration, criticizing the leadership of Nigeria.
Tsav opined that
the way Agwai spoke was how military officer worth their rank were expected to
act and behave.
“If President
Jonathan offered Agwai the job to garner his support by silencing him, then he
grossly miscalculated,” said Tsav. “Military generals are not usually that mean
and cheap.”
He said that he
was happy that Agwai was not stoned for his uttering the word ‘change’ in his
presentation. According
to Tsav, as officer worth his or her commission, should say and stand by his or
her word. “That’s what makes an officer. Congratulations Agwai,” said Tsav.
