A Nation on the Brink: APC Government and the Weaponization of Lawlessness
A Nation on the Brink: APC Government and the Weaponization of Lawlessness
What kind of country demolishes a man’s property without notice, without a name, and without a court order? The answer is sadly simple — a country spiraling into state-sponsored anarchy, under the watch of a government that has turned impunity into official policy.
The harrowing account shared by Mr. Peter Obi is not just a personal ordeal — it is a loud alarm bell about the growing rot in Nigeria’s governance structure under the APC-led administration. We are witnessing a government that has elevated lawlessness to statecraft, and whose institutions no longer serve the people but rather intimidate, harass, and silence them.
"If this level of lawlessness can happen to someone with a registered company and legitimate means, what hope does the ordinary Nigerian have?" Peter Obi Facebook page
That question slices through the heart of the matter. If a former presidential candidate, businessman, and public figure can have his family's property illegally demolished by phantom agents acting without traceable authority, then what happens to the voiceless citizens? What happens to widows, artisans, traders, and students who lack the resources or platform to cry out?
The Dangers Are Clear and Present:
-
Total Breakdown of the Rule of Law:
What played out in Ikeja is not just a land dispute — it is a collapse of constitutional order. Court judgments issued against unnamed individuals? Demolitions without permits? Security agencies acting on hearsay? That is not governance; it is organized chaos. -
Weaponized Injustice:
The demolition wasn’t just unlawful — it was targeted intimidation, a pattern familiar under the APC where the law is used selectively against perceived dissenters, critics, or non-conformists. This is tyranny in slow motion. -
Investor Exodus and Economic Sabotage:
No investor will bet a dollar in a country where title documents are toilet paper and government-backed thugs can destroy fifteen-year-old properties in broad daylight. This is why capital flies to Ghana, Senegal, and Rwanda — they have rules; we have rulers. -
Normalizing Impunity:
The fact that no one has called back, no demolition officer has appeared, and no documents have been shown is proof of the rot. In a lawful country, this demolition would result in resignations, investigations, and jail terms. But under APC? Silence reigns. Criminals are protected. Victims are ignored. -
Undermining National Unity:
When people are treated like strangers in their own land, stripped of rights and dignity, what binds them to the country? This is how instability breeds, and this is how nations die.
We Must Call This What It Is: Governance Failure
This is not an isolated incident. From police brutality to press suppression, to unlawful detentions, property seizures, and outright persecution of opposition voices, Nigeria is no longer governed — it is ruled. And that rule, under APC, is by fear, force, and fraud.
A nation where the courts are compromised, law enforcement agencies serve private interests, and state machinery is used to crush human rights, cannot thrive or survive.
Hope Must Not Die: A New Nigeria Is Still Possible
Peter Obi's closing remarks are not just words — they are a call to conscience. Nigeria needs leaders who understand that the job of government is not to bulldoze homes but to build hope; not to silence voices but to serve them; not to abuse power but to uphold justice.
We must rise, speak, resist, and reclaim our country — before what is left of Nigeria is handed over to total collapse.
Let this demolition not just be the end of a structure — let it be the beginning of national awakening.
