Thoughtful!
When the news broke out that Mr President may not visit the Ogoniland again as planned, instead he will be represented by the Vice President, i was a little bit worried. Not because of the PMB decision which i consider wise, considerate, great thought, and presidential, rather worried about how the Wailers would hit the airwaves to mislead the gullible. This is exactly what the are doing now.
But, wait to think for a moment.
Although the reason why PMB suspended his visit to commission the Ogoniland Clean Up is not yet announce by the Presidency, i systematically guess and confidently believe, it is not because of the planned demonstration by the opposition, neither is it because of the militants threat against the life of Mr President. That is empty and hope not threat.
For the purpose of analysis, assume that Mr President went ahead with this trip to Ogoniland and attempt was made on his life to assassinate him. I can tell you that he will be safely returned back home, by the snipers, but there will be a "Shut~on~sight" Order. Certainly, many innocent lives of ogoni people would be lost. While the so called militants who would want to retaliate, would lead to brutal killings by the both armed forces, on land, air and sea. The entire South South would be perish with strong armed fire. Many lives would be lost.
On the other hand, if the news filters to the North, surely they will not wait. There will be serious retaliation and killing of the South South innocent people who are living peacefully. Many lives would be lost. This may be what the enemies of Nigeria has planned, in the name of PMB.
Certainly, you cannot say the change of decision was because PMB is afraid of death or the so called Avengers. Remember, he was a retired military general who fought in civil war 46years ago. He was a hero in may wars outside the country, a three stars General, a Head of State, who is 74years now. Remember he is the President, commander in chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Armed Forces have constitutional allegiance to protect his life with their lives. He is certainly not afraid of Rat~tag militants that can't show even their face, hidden in bush.
The decision to send vice-president is a wise one as a President who does not want any citizen to loose his/her life. A decision of a leader who love his people and country survival.
My people use to say, there is not need for a fight between Lion and Cat, because it is obvious who will be the winner. The mistake of cat will lead her into her grave without Lion raising his claws.
