President Muhammadu Buhari has only recently appointed a new Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, as late Abba Kyari's replacement, but the town criers are already in town raising alarm over what this new appointment means for the future of the country.
Fani Kayode who has established himself as the finest alarmist in the country since the Buhari administration came to power, is unsurprisingly among the first to dig deep into history to better help Nigerians understand what they are to expect from their new Chief of Staff.
200 years ago the Aare Kakanfo of the ancient Oyo Empire and the self-proclaimed Oba of Ilorin, Aare Afonja, rebelled against the Alaafin of Oyo and entered into a military alliance with a Fulani advisor, sorcerer and mercenary by the name of Alimi.
Predictably Alimi betrayed him and he ended up being tortured, dethroned and mu*dered. Not only did Alimi and his Fulani warriors kiII him but they also mu*dered all his sons in the most crueI and barbaric fashion.
Ever since that day a Fulani Emir, from Alimi's "Gambari" family and lineage, armed with a flag and staff of authority from the Sultan of Sokoto, has ruled Ilorin.
There is no gainsaying the fact that the Gambaris are trusted servants and bonded slaves of the Sokoto Caliphate.
It is for this reason that they are often referred to by the sons and daughters of Oduduwa as 'mesu jamba' (meaning a "shifty, unreliable and treacherous").
To add to that, the saying goes "beware of the Gambaris and the descendants of Alimi".
Enter Professor Ibrahim Agboola Gambari, Buhari's new Chief of Staff and Nigeria's former representative at the United Nations.
He is a descendant of Alimi. He is a Gambari. And to cap it all his brother, Emir Ibrahim Kolapo Sulu- Gambari, is the present Emir of Ilorin.
His forefathers stole our sacred Oduduwan lands, took our throne, carved up and divided our Empire, enslaved our people and have persecuted our leaders in Ilorin for the last 200 years denying them of their most basic liberties and rights.
And worse of all they have done this with the full blessing and support of the Sokoto Caliphate and the Sultan of Sokoto.
This has never happened before and very soon the results will be self-evident. To make matters worse Gambari is himself a hardliner and he was Buhari's Foreign Minister in 1984 when the latter was military Head of State. He served a tyrant and a dictator before and he is serving a tyrant and a dictator again.
And he served not just ANY tyrant and dictator but Nigeria's greatest military tyrant and dictator and now he is set to serve Nigeria's greatest civilian tyrant and dictator.
Now he has come to help estsblish and entrench Buhari's Islamisation and Fulanisation agenda. We welcome him and we will engage him in battle.
For those of us that have been in the struggle to liberate our people from the tyranny of Buhari for the last five years it is "game on" and "back to the trenches".
The ceasefire is over and the war against ethnic and religious bondage and against injustice, subjugation, domination, nepotism, servitude and slavery has started again. May the best man win.
