Good morning friends and Good morning to all Nigerians. The following tweets are my reaction to recent developments. #MO

The Invasion and Raid of my Residence yesterday by Agents of the State is a sad throwback to a Tyrannical Past that is Better Forgotten.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

In 16 years of Democracy, we thought we had conquered despotism for good in Nigeria but in one year, this Government has brought it back.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

Let me reiterate clearly: I have never received any invitation from EFCC over any issue up till date. This invasion therefore is premature.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

Furthermore, no Court ordered a Raid on my house or Seizure of my belongings. Any such move is Illegal and will be fought against Legally.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

Such Invasion and Raid of my house without prior Invitation from EFCC to me or any Court Order towards this Signals a Return to Despotism.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

The Illegal Invasion and Raid is a Mockery of Justice, an Expression of Disdain towards the Judicial System and a terribly Bad Precedent.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

The Illegal Invasion without EFCC invitation, Notice of Investigation or a Court Order is also a Mockery of the Intelligence of Nigerians.

If the harassment of PDP members will help Government to Deliver Good Governance, many of us would Submit ourselves willingly to Martyrdom.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

If hounding PDP members will solve Nigeria's Economic Woes then we Welcome it. This Rather is a Woeful Attempt to Distract from those Woes.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

But Unfortunately, harassing PDP leaders is not in any way Equal to the Delivery of Good Governance, No Matter who Applauds such Illegality.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

The aim of Govt is to distract the People from their Woes. Such tactics have been tried before, in Nigeria and elsewhere, and they failed.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

I put close to Two Decades into Public Service, in Opposition and in Government, all with an Unblemished Record and a Clear Conscience.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

The Illegal Invasion of my house @realFFK and several others in Detention: give me NO CONFIDENCE in Government's willingness to do Justice.

EFCC has never OFFICIALLY made public ANY investigation of my record in Government at ANY TIME before this Illegal Invasion of my house.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

Suggestions of an EFCC investigation have dwelt Solely in the Realm of Rumours, over which I have sued Several Media Organisations to Court.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

I cannot submit myself to such glaring witchhunt, Injustice and Charade but I'll fight it legally, with God and Clear Conscience on my side.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

Since EFCC opted to make this a media trial/circus, let them make public ANY DOCUMENT linking me or ANY of my children to ANY financial scam

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

The Allegations are Lies, not backed by Fact or Evidence but a Burning Desire to Obliterate the Opposition and keep Nigerians Distracted.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

Rumours of Extradition are also lies – false allegations cannot stand up to any Decent Legal Inquiry in a Civilised System such as in the US

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

I Welcome an Extradition Process as it will Expose the Shenanigans going on with their fraudulently fictitious fight against 'Corruption'.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

This is a Govt that promotes Ethnic Divisions, Distractions from Issues, Political Persecution and Official Gangsterism from High Places.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

This is a Govt determined to outdo the abysmal and ignominious Economic Records of Dec. 31, 1983 to Aug. 27, 1985 that ended in shame.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

Pursuing Obanikoro, hounding Madueke, detaining FFK and Dasuki will not distract from the failure of Govt to deliver on ITS OWN PROMISES.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

Nigerians must remain Steadfast in Condemning the Nepotism, Ethnic Division and Economic Illiteracy that has Characterised this Govt.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

I remain Confident in my Ultimate Vindication and urge EFCC to make Public any Investigation so far conducted without any Invitation to me.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

I also remain Unshaken in my Belief that Truth will Prevail over Falsehood as ever before, no matter how Exciting the Falsehood may Sound.

— Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016

I commit Myself, My Family, My Allies and My Friends into the hands of the Almighty God to Whom ALL OF US will give account one day.
