BOMBSHELL: BUHARI, WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN WHAT YOU DID TO CHIEF OLU AWOTESU.... YOU WILL BE REJECTED AGAIN- FEMI ARIBISALA Aribisala wrote.... In the middle of the night on 4th January, 1984, heavily armed men of the Strike Force of the Nigerian army invaded the Lagos home of Chief Olu Awotesu, then Minister of State for Agriculture. This military operation had one design, to put the minister under arrest. Chief Awotesu was not at home, having gone to his home-town in Iperu, Ogun State. On meeting his absence, the soldiers descended on his family. His wife was dragged from the bedroom upstairs through the staircase to the ground floor, where she was kicked and beaten by the men in khaki. Her assailants laughed at her while she screamed and begged for mercy. The children were not spared either. They were also slapped and tortured in the bid to determine the precise whereabouts of their father. This ordeal apparently went on for over three hours. When Chief Awotesu returned from Iperu to Lagos and learnt that he was now a wanted man, he drove straight to Dodan Barracks, then the seat of government in Nigeria, to give himself up. He was not only arrested, he was detained without trial for nearly two years. It was while in detention that he learnt about the ordeal his family had been put through by men of the Special Forces. Chief Awotesu was only released in 1985, even though the government found no evidence of any crime against him. The man responsible for this injustice is Muhammadu Buhari. He is now running for president and wants our votes. Buhari himself has never found it necessary to apologise to us for the human rights violations his regime inflicted on us. Somebody is being fooled but it is not the Yorubas. It does not matter how many curious onlookers are paid to come to Buhari’s campaign rallies in the South-West; the Yorubas will ultimately not succumb to this hogwash. Buhari has been rejected in the South-West three times. He will be rejected yet again. #Whistling away.....
