"the language of justice is truth clearly defined, refined and dissected"
Saturday the 26th of February started off like any normal day with the usual sanitation exercise, but for the "Lagos Boy" and former NPA Chairman Chief Olabode George, it wasn't any ordinary day. On this very day did he smell the fresh air of freedom, after serving time at the kirikiri maximum prisons.
The endless list of loyalists and PDP Chieftains who came out in different "shapes and colors" to mark their presence at the thanksgiving service held at the Cathedral Church of Christ Marina was mammoth enough for words not to be spoken, but still the message was loud and clear as the drums echoed accolades from singing and dancing women and men.
Nothing would have been amiss if there was a low key celebration and a sober church thanksgiving, but our award winning ex-convict (having looted the most funds ever from the office of the NPA) a title which he presently holds unbroken in the NPA book of records, was welcomed like a David who had just slain his Goliath, a war hero deserving songs and dancing.
The wrong signals being sent out to the public by holding such an elaborate thanksgiving barely two hour after being released from prison, having being found guilty of financial crimes and mismanagement of public funds and office, seems another kind of crime punishable by the law. Chief Bode George was admonished by Ven.Tayo Aduloju, the Cannon of the church "to go and sin no more", but he forgot to mention the "Mary Kay" encouragement this action was giving to the face of corruption. I sincerely hope this doesn't start an undeserving trend.
