Karma of justice on crass impunity
SIR: The Karma of justice has taken up
permanent residence in the house of those
who contributed to the Somalization of some
states in the last general elections.
The recent nullification of the elections
of some political shenanigans has placed
an answer to the question I asked in one
of my articles published in May this
year, titled, “What Shall It Profit
Politicians”? In the said article, I
submitted that, “I don’t need a political
clairvoyant to foresee what will happen
in the next six months, my wager is that
in less than six months from now, both
the state tribunals and law courts will
start upturning the electoral victories of
some elected governors, senators and
honourable members. They will vacate
the seats they have been illegally
occupying for the legitimate
occupants…”
In the concluding parts of the piece I
asked, “What shall it profit politicians to
instigate their people to rise up against
each other and turn their states into
theatres of internecine wars, motivate
vulnerable youths to go risk their lives in
the field, disrupt the electoral process,
snatch ballot boxes and at the end of the
day lose their seats in the courts of law”?
My wager is coming to pass and most of
those highly detached politicians who
through the theatres of violence and
electoral malpractices fraudulently
robbed the hoods of electoral victories in
the last general elections are now at the
mercy of karma to adjust the effects with
perfect balance. There is indeed no short
cut to the top of the palm tree.
