A former Commissioner of Police, who is also a
current affairs analyst, 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), adding that Agwai must have
been relieved over losing the job.
According to Tsav, the move shows that the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) was running a government of, ‘Winner takes all.”
He 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.
