Recall from earlier statement from the government on the shadow government..FG Kicks As Pat Utomi Forms 'Big Tent Coalition Shadow Government'

by Jerrywright Ukwu


Pat Utomi, professor of political economy, has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) for denigrating his launch of a shadow cabinet.

Felix Morka, spokesperson of the APC, had referred to Utomi as an “intellectual drama king” after the professor unveiled his ‘Big Tent Coalition Shadow Government’.

In a series of posts on X, Utomi said the ruling party’s reaction shows that the government is afraid of scrutiny.

“Many years ago, Felix Morka sat in the back of my car with me as the driver sped to appointments,” he wrote.

“His mission was to urge me to do some of the things I am doing today. Now I am a drama king. Many playwrights would like that title. Think I love it. Will not dignify him with response.”

Utomi said the level of anxiety from the government over basic civic engagement is alarming.

“I have never seen a democratic government panic so much because citizens are getting together to make rational requests of how they are carrying out the agency function,” he said.

“Wow. There must be so much to hide, scrutiny frightens them. How did we sink so low?”

He said a mature government would have welcomed the initiative as part of the democratic culture.

“If Abuja people were smart, their response to the shadow cabinet would have been to say that as true democrats they welcome scrutiny and opening up of the public sphere to a robust marketplace of ideas,” Utomi said.

“Even those who thought the worst of the state of our democracy are shocked at the panic.”

On April 24, Utomi said he was working to mobilise 7.2 million Nigerians to converge on Abuja in protest against Nigeria’s political elite.

Utomi said the protest, tagged ‘Freedom Converge’, is aimed at reclaiming the country from “entrenched systems of state capture and self-serving leadership”

They have inferiority complex

If only the whole country knows that this man was the only one certified by GOD to be a good President for Nigeria...with Osinbajo.

IPOB people proudly s Tinubu🤪

Just imagine the reasoning of something someone carried in the stomach for 9 months.

You cannot have an atom of integrity in you and be comfortable being called an APC member

This tribulation shall end, only Jesus Christ, David Michael, can save us

apc is a very useless party. I will continue to say this until they behave themselves and allow democratic principles thrive.

The end justify the means.

You can't declare a shadow cabinet in a Presidential system of government.

In a Presidential system of government, you are effectively declaring an alternative government, and setting a terrible precedent which can lead to chaos.

Next thing, you'll have this being replicated at State level by some other people.

This man knows exactly what he's doing. He is trying to create anarchy. He wants to be arrested for treason so he can raise his profile and claim he is fighting for the people.

Must the words 'shadow cabinet' appear in the name of the organisation you're setting up.

Could he try this under a past military government He would not even try it with a President of Northern extraction. Where was he during Mr Buhari's government.

If you don't like a government, fine. Oppose it, but do so responsibly, without trying to forment chaos.

To make matters worse, Mr Utomi has a very poor record of managing anything. He was MD of Volkswagen Nigeria, but he ran the company aground. Yet, you see him everywhere pontificating like he is the only one who knows the solution to Nigeria's problems.

Well, of course scrutiny terrifies a government led by a notorious narcotics trafficker, a serial certificate forger, and a buccaneering power-grabber who practically runs on lies, falsehoods, and propaganda

It's too early to dey gba bro

For Utomi, no government in the world will allow "a shadow government". If you did that in China, you for don meet your maker by now. Even you, if you were president, you won't allow any shadow government. So the government calling you a drama king is them being lenient with you. If dem arrest you now, people will be saying all sort of nonsense without applying logic. Criticize the government if you want; in fact, form a of critiques - dem Sunday Dare and co will engage you. But no one will smile with you with your shadow government plan. It's quite funny sha; this Utomi dude is well educated and well exposed. He knew what he's doing won't fly in saner clime but here he is pandering to the G&H

G&H mean Gullible & Hungry if you don't know btw

That is to show that nothing democratic about this government. Abatcha a military man was planning to become a civilian leader but our own democratic elected government is showcasing the attributes of a dictatorship

For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his works may not be exposed.

Some people just like to think more highly of themselves. Can an ant frightens an elephant? Can a fly frightens a swap? Can a nonentity be reckoned with noble man?
