'Ken Saro-Wiwa chose the path of deadly activism that ended in disaster. A defence of his hanging for incitement to multiple murders, arising from the tragic consequence of his choice of strategy cannot, therefore, be regarded as meanness...'

Since the announcement of the appointment of Prof. Ibrahim Agboola Gambari as the new Chief of Staff to the president and his assumption of office on Wednesday, May 13, the media space has been awash with reactions. There were accolades, there were knocks. They portray Prof. Gambari as a multi-dimensional man who attracts strong emotions, either for or against. But one consensus that runs through them all is the acknowledgement that he is a brilliant mind.

To continue to celebrate Ken Saro-Wiwa, as an unblemished hero, demonstrates the callous insensitivity of the do-gooder human rights community to the lives of others. Perhaps, we need to refresh our minds about the facts of the 25-year old case that brought Ken Saro-Wiwa to a tragic end. On the day of the incident, it was reported that there was tension in the community because of the honour being bestowed on the Ogoni Four and Ken Saro-Wiwa had to be barred from the area by security agents. It was stated that he told his militant youth supporters to deal with the ‘Vultures’, a tag tantamount to death sentence. Thereafter, the youths swarmed the venue of the ceremony and agitated appeals to a commissioner, Dr.

The point being made is that being an activist is not a licence to murder. Ken Saro-Wiwa made a fatal miscalculation by apparently relying on the so-called ‘International Community’ to spring him from the murder charge. According to reports, he was in disbelief when the hangmen came.

Gambari as rallying point for Kwara politicsWith the emergence of Gambari as a person arguably holding the highest political office in the state at present, APC in Kwara may, at last, have found a father figure and rallying point that would resolve the existing silent rifts within it.

Point of correction, a Chief of Staff, who is an unscreened & unconfirmed personal aide of the President, is not a higher position than that of a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria occupied by Liar Moh'd.
