ARE TRADITIONAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN SUPPORT OF THE MASSES?

By Shehu Mustapha Chaji
shehuchaji@yahoo.com

Among community leaders in Nigeria, the traditional and religious leaders do receive special respect from the people as they are regarded as fathers of the society. They are regarded as burning candles that show the way on how the society should live based on their forms of belief. Also it is their duty on commanding the community on performance of good deeds and forbidding them to commit what is unlawful.

Masses had a very special regards and respect for traditional and religious leaders as they believed that they would never support and encourage any issue that will harm their ways of life. But unfortunately, recently some of them have reversed and changed their attitude by becoming errand boys of those in power and moneybags. It is an open secret today that many of them have joined the club and convoy of the ruling class or always in total support of any government in power.

Clerics as religious leaders all over the world are known to be on the side of justice ,truth, equity and accountability, and they also preach to their followers to be on the side of truth and justice. They are steadfast as they are never afraid to say the truth and side with justice no matter how bitter it is. Also they never collaborate with oppressors, tyrants, looters and ungodly leaders. Religious history books are full of narrations of how God fearing clerics fought against injustice, tyranny and suppression. Some of them had even led their countries in the fight against uprooting tyrants, oppressors and stooges from power. They are actively involved in the fight against all forms of injustice and discrimination against their people and even in the forefront in the struggle for democratic governance.

Even during our present times we saw or heard of religious leaders that have led their people to defeat tyranny and oppression, and those that were persecuted and jailed or were forced to exile or even killed for saying and siding with the truth and justice by some few individuals who have control of the government machinery.

Today, before our own eyes, some Clerics have changed the meanings and interpretations of their Holy Books to suit the intrest of political leaders so that they could smile back to their banks. What is happening today is that if you force your way corruptly to power through massively rigged election, they will say God gave you the power! If you loot from the treasury they will say God has enriched you !! If you implement policies against the wishes of the people, they will say God said you should be followed!!! Also you will find these Clerics on their ways to government houses federal, state and local or in the homes of those that all knows how they amass their wealth.

Am not saying that it is an offence for traditional and religious leaders to relate with the political and ruling class, but what is happening always is that they don't inform the ruling class the real condition of the masses and the country. Masses are really suffering due to lack of infrastructures. But the traditional and religious leaders never speak up and always pretend as if everything is moving smoothly. Whenever they speak it is on the masses to always live peacefully and abide by the laws without speaking out to the ruling class to rule with justice and equity.

It can't be denied that traditional and religious leaders have special prestige in Nigeria. Is it that the prestige they have is not enough that they have to be errands of the political class? And are there any worldly materials they lacked that led them to be boot licker of the political class? Are they aware that masses can now dictate their personal intrest when they propagate it as religious injuctions? Are they of the opinion that being errand and cohorts for those in power is the only avenue to protect their seats and gain influence? And when will they seek respect for themselves as true leaders of the society and people stop calling them agents of whoever is in power?

Traditional and religious leaders are those leaders that the masses tend to have good opinion about as they provide guidance and protect their rights when the need arises. Is it not a betrayal that these leaders tend to be more concerned about their own personal interests? Don’t they think that the masses can have a very bad opinion about them?

The history of many countries of this world is full of roles played by Kings and the Clergy. Why is it that today in some parts of the world they tend to play little or no role in such countries today? The answer is clear as these leaders par take in the exploitation and tyranny against their own people and when change arrived those countries they were not spared. And that is the reason why in some countries there are no traces of traditional rulers and the religious leaders lose their prestige and power of commanding the good and forbidding evil.

Where are those traditional rulers that have supported election riggers into power? The history of our country is replete with how those helped to hold onto power illegitimately repay their benefactors? Also religious leaders that sided with the authority against the wish and aspirations of their people tend to lose respect and dignity as they are viewed as agents and cohorts of those in power.

Respect and prestige will be more for traditional and religious leaders if they side with the masses. And they should have the principle of advising the ruling class truthfully, and informing them of how life of the common man can be improved and stoppage of all government policies that are anti-people. And if they happen to visit government houses from federal to local government it should be for the intrest of the masses not to seek for contracts, royalties and political appointments for themselves and families. Also they should be bold enough to say the truth to the ruling class as they can say it to the masses. They should be in the forefront in any struggle to resist government policies that are unpopular such as increase in petroleum products but not the NLC!

God fearing and purposeful leadership is loved by people. Any leader that loots either before or now should not be seen associating with traditional and religious leaders as such association increases the continuation of corruption as future leaders can always think that if they loot and share the loot through building places or worship and obtaining traditional titles they will be respected and escape justice. Traditional and religious leaders should reciprocate to the masses the same way they hold them in esteem; anything short of this could lead to anarchy as it will be unfortunate if they call people to order and no one listens to them, then who will provide guidance to the society?

LET THE COURTS DECIDE YAR'ADUA'S LEGITIMACY

Delivering his speech after been sworn-in as President and Commander in chief,Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'adua admitted that the election that saw to his position was flawed.Also the reports of both local and international observers and reactions of opposition parties clearly stated that the election was sub-standard and lacked the proper procedure of accepted election.

Opposition parties and candidates that contested under their platforms did the accepted form of protest,which is laying their grievences before the election tribunals rather than inciting their party members and supporters to take the law into their hands.By this,the opposition received applause as this action of theirs potrayed them as peaceful and law abiding ,and they also became vigilant,as some politicians want to take advantage of the situation to hold on to power.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Chairman of INEC Prof. Maurice Iwu are of the opinion that the election is a job well done and on the other hand the reports of observers,who reported that the April elections was the worst ever in the whole world.It is only the courts that will decide who is the liar between them!

Events unfolding after the April elections with regards to the opposition parties are disheartening and shameful especially with regard to opposition ANPP. Firstly ,the party came out loud and clear during and after the April elections that the election was massively rigged ! And later they changed gear by accepting to par take in goverment of national unity eventhough they had filed a suit against the presidential election!! Lastly they withdrew their suit against the presidential election in total disregard to the yearnings and aspirations of their supporters who underwent untold sufferings and hardships in the name of national unity!!!

Also information available indicates that the opposition AC and it's presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar had been under pressure to also withdraw their suit against the presidential election .Will they also succumb to pressure and change their position by withdrawing their suit against the presidential election?

Still on the issue of withdrawing the presidential suit from courts,the media featured the news of attempt to convince General Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw his suit against the PDP,Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'adua and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.The delegation was led by former President Alhaji Shehu Shagari ,Galadiman Katsina Justice Mamman Nasir,Chairman First Bank Alhaji Umaru Mutallab and former chairman of defunct Democratic party of Nigeria (DPN)Alhaji Saleh Hassan,where they discuss extensively with General Buhari on the need for him to withdraw his suit in the electoral tribunal in the intrest of Northern and National unity.On the part of General Buhari he informred them on his determination to continue with his suit in the election tribunals.

Am of the opinion that pressure ,threat and intimidation should not be used on opposition parties and their flagbearers to to withdraw their suits in the election tribunals.,as it would not augur and speak well of our democracy .It is a must on us Nigerians to show the world our determination and sincerity in the process of building a sound and durable democracy in our country eventhough some individuals did what they did during the April elections.Nigerian policicians never learn from history and as such let us allow the courts to do their jobs as verdicts passed will serve as deterrant to future elections.Up coming politicians will also learn the process of how to legitimately become leaders and representatives of their people.

To President Umaru Musa Yar'adua, if those parading themselves as negotiators for pressuring ,intimidating and threatening the opposition parties and their flagbearers to withdraw their suits in courts are doing on your behalf ,Sir, you should stop them ,as it would send a bad signal to Nigerians and International community that your reforms on the electoral process are nor sincere.And Mr.President ,why are you afraid?There seems to be only two options now left which are either the courts to legitimise your election or to nullify the election.If Nigerians are satisfied with the way you conduct the affairs of this nation in the few months you ruled ,they will massively vote for you!

The massively rigged April elections and suits in election tribunals superceded the issue of Northerness,tribalism,religious sentiment and sectionalism.It is an issue of justice and providing exempleanery history for unborn Nigerians .It is also a must for us as Nigerians to ensure that process of assuming the mantle of leadership is constitionally followed for enshrinement of justice ,unity and purposeful leadership.

Eventhough many Nigerians are of the view that in the few months that President Yar'adua ruled Nigeria he has been able to achieve alot in such a short period,among his achievements are availability of fuel in all filling stations nationwide at a uniform price,revoking the sales of Kaduna and Port-Harcourt refineries,revoking of so many contracts that were not properlyawarded by the previous Obasanjo administration,stopping the mass sacking of the Nigerian workers and even returning many to their duty post e.t.c. With so many achievements in few months ,it still did'nt stop many from within and outside the country to continue to regard his goverment as illigitamate! President Yar'adua can only legitimise his goverment through the courts.All those seeking the opposition parties and their flagbearers to withdraw their suits from courts are not sincere advisers to President Yar'adua! It is only the final verdict of the courts that can place Yar'adua's goverment in it's proper position.

General Buhari has today remained the only true democrat standing! He should be aware that the struggle he is into of strenthening our democracy and the rule of law is appreciated and suported by all true lovers of democracy .And Buhari has reached a special stage where he has now occupied an exalted seat in the hall of fame of true democrats ,not only in Nigeria but in Africa as a whole.General Buhari should continue with his case in the election tribunal up to the supreme court without succumbing to pressure,threat,intimidation and blackmail ,as his suit is on behalf of the Nigerian masses.

Opposition parties that have joined the goverment of National unity and those that have withdrawn their suit in the presidential election had deceived and betrayed their members and supporters.They should be aware that history has prepared for them a special place and their parties may meet the fate of AD !

Nigerian masses should resist any attempt to turn their country to a one-party state,and should not be tired in any way in the struggle to place Nigeria among the nations where free and fair elections could be obtained.A new Nigeria that all will be proud of especially the black race all over the world.

Politicians in all political parties that have filed suits in the election tribunals should continue pursuing their cases and that of their supporters uptill the supreme court.It is a collective must on all Nigerians to ensure that our country earns respect and prestige in the world political arena.
