Lagos APC lambasts Aare Amerijóye Dot.B, describes him as a man desperate for relevance who confuses ranting with reasoning
The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has read – with great amusement – the latest literary convulsion released by one Aare Amerijoye DOT.B, a man whose pen is clearly powered not by fact or logic but by recycled propaganda fumes.
His write-up is not a rebuttal.
It is a panic attack written in paragraphs, a political hallucination stitched together with buzzwords and bitterness.
But because Nigerians deserve clarity, not clownery, we must respond.
1. AARE’S HYSTERICAL THEOLOGY OF NONSENSE
The writer accuses Lagos APC of “political blasphemy.”
Blasphemy against who?
Atiku Abubakar?
Atiku is not a deity.
He is not a prophet.
He is not a moral compass.
He is a perpetual presidential applicant whose political ambition has expired more times than Nigeria has conducted elections.
The only religion here is the Church of Atiku’s Permanent Candidature – with Aare serving as lead chorister.
2. SINCE AARE WON’T TALK ABOUT ATIKU’S PUBLIC SERVICE RECORD, LET US HELP HIM
Because while Aare was busy composing poetic tantrums, he conveniently skipped the one subject Atiku fears the most:
His record.
ATIKU IN CUSTOMS:
A CAREER SHROUDED IN CONTROVERSIES
Atiku “retired” as a “Deputy Director” – a rank that did not exist in the official Customs organogram at the time.
His tenure was associated with:
• mysterious wealth accumulation,
• questionable import waivers,
• skyrocketing contraband influx,
• and persistent whispers about illicit enrichment.
These are not inventions.
They are shadows Atiku never managed to escape.
ATIKU AS VICE PRESIDENT:
THE ARCHITECT OF PRIVATISATION WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY
As Chairman of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, Atiku presided over the worst economic transfer of national assets to private pockets in Nigeria’s history.
The damage remains irreparable:
• NITEL – auctioned into the grave
• Nigeria Airways – liquidated brutally
• Ajaokuta – sabotaged
• ALSCON – scandalised
• Refineries – abandoned and ruined
This was not privatisation.
It was predatory concessioning.
A redistribution of national wealth to friends, fronts, and political financiers.
Even the National Assembly shouted.
Even economists protested.
Even the international community questioned the anomalies.
AND THEN OBASANJO’S VERDICT – THE FINAL NAIL
Atiku’s own principal, President Obasanjo, described him as:
• “corrupt,”
• “unfit for leadership,”
• “disloyal,”
• “dangerous,”
• and “morally compromised.”
In any serious nation, such a testimonial would end a political career permanently.
But Atiku keeps pushing because his supporters keep bleaching his record with propaganda.
3. LET US NOW ASK THE QUESTION AARE IS TOO FRIGHTENED TO TOUCH:
WHAT HAS ATIKU DONE FOR ADAMAWA IN OVER 40 YEARS OF POLITICAL ACTIVITY?
This is the question that burns the myth to ashes.
Atiku claims he wants to “fix Nigeria.”
But what exactly has he fixed in Adamawa, his home state?
• Has he lifted the state out of poverty, which remains among the lowest-ranked in Nigeria?
• Has he improved education, with Adamawa still scoring embarrassingly low in literacy metrics?
• Has he expanded infrastructure, when even rural roads around his political bases remain in prehistoric condition?
• Has he reduced unemployment, which remains sky-high in his senatorial axis?
• Has he created industries in Yola that employ people beyond his political loyalists?
After decades as Customs strongman, Vice President, perennial presidential candidate and billionaire businessman, Adamawa remains:
• one of the poorest states in Nigeria,
• one of the least developed,
• one of the most underperforming in basic human indicators.
If Atiku could not transform one state, how exactly does Aare think he will transform 36 states and the FCT?
Charity begins at home.
But Atiku’s political charity never left the television studios.
Adamawa is Atiku’s mirror – and what stares back is failure, not leadership.
4. AND FOR ANYONE STILL DREAMING OF A POLITICAL REBIRTH FOR ATIKU…
Let it be said clearly:
Not even an experiment in political IVF can reinvent Atiku Abubakar’s expiring political career.
The cells are gone.
The chromosomes have scattered.
The ambition has reached menopause.
The political DNA no longer divides.
Yet his praise-singers are trying to resuscitate what history has already cremated.
5. AARE’S HISTORICAL REVISIONISM COLLAPSES UNDER FACTS
All his noise about “institution building” is intellectual vandalism.
Atiku built nothing that outlived him.
He simply harvested structures that others paid for and returned to claim credit after elections.
Nigeria remembers.
Nigeria is not fooled.
6. TINUBU IS FIXING THE MESS ATIKU HELPED CREATE
No amount of emotional essay-writing will change:
• PDP wrecked Nigeria’s economy.
• PDP emptied Nigeria’s reserves.
• PDP engineered the insecurity we battle today.
• PDP inflicted institutional rot.
• PDP supervised the decay of infrastructure.
And Atiku was at the centre of that collapse.
It is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is rebuilding, stabilising, and restructuring what Atiku and his party destroyed for sixteen straight years.
*l7. FINAL ADVICE TO AARE:
WHEN NEXT YOU ATTEMPT INTELLECTUAL WARFARE,
BRING AMMUNITION – NOT ADJECTIVES
Your epistle was long, but empty.
Loud, but hollow.
Decorated, but delusional.
The truth you fear is not just high voltage;
it is a national transformer,
and neither you nor your expired political oracle has the insulation to withstand it.
Mogaji (Hon) Seye Oladejo.
Lagos APC Spokesman.
