Ben Murray-Bruce Encomium
Ben Murray-Bruce has become quite the attention-seeker.
Since he was elected a Senator, the Silverbird Chairman has taken on the position of an activist of sorts.
He has spoken out against corruption, condemned the
lavish lifestyle of Nigeria’s politicians and screamed about the need for “common sense”.
The Goodluck Jonathan administration was characterized by massive corruption and misrule and it was under this very regime that our darling Senator served as the Chairman of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN).
Where
was Ben Murray-Bruce when Jonathan sang and danced at a campaign rally
after the deadly Nyanya bomb blast in April 2014? What did Ben
Murray-Bruce say when Jonathan announced his re-election bid the day
after 48 innocent children were killed in a bomb blast at the Government Science Secondary School in Potiskum, Yobe State?
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce and former President, Goodluck Jonatha
Murray-Bruce has advised Buhari to sell off some of the presidential jets, why didn’t he offer that advice to Jonathan or rather urge him not to buy the four jets he acquired during his 5 year tenure?
Where was Ben Murray-Bruce when Jonathan pardoned Diepreye Alamieyeseigha
who had been found guilty of laundering money from poverty-stricken
Bayelsa State, where all three of them come from? Why didn’t he scream bloody murder then?
Senator
Ben Murray-Bruce has been a powerful figure in Nigeria’s media circles
for a very long time but his silence on serious issues that arose during
that period has been deafening.
Murray-Bruce cannot expect to suddenly jump on Nigeria’s bandwagon of change, which is already halfway through its journey, and then claim to be the driver.
However, there is definitely use for his common sense chant in the Senate where he was put by his fellow Bayelsans.
Murray-Bruce
can help us knock sense into his colleagues who insist on feeding fat
on the flesh of their fellow citizens while barely delivering on the
duties they were elected for.
He
can also help us beg our esteemed and “honourable” legislators to stop
fighting and making a laughing stock of themselves and this great
nation.
Dear
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, your newfound activism is much appreciated,
but please try to direct it where it is most needed. Please face your
work.
