1. Hypocrisy is when you hang Stella Odua for buying 2 Bullet proof cars at an excess of N100 million ($625,000) and praise Babatunde Fashola for using N139 million ($870,000) for the digging of two boreholes.
2. Hypocrisy is when you abuse your brother for supporting Godswill Akpabio while you openly celebrate Rotimi Amaechi, a man accused of the same crime.
3. Hypocrisy is when you want and advocate for the Rivers and Akwa Ibom RECs to be prosecuted while keeping mute at the Yobe REC whose receipt of gratification is well documented.
4. Hypocrisy is when you insulted the army and called them names during the Jonathan Era and suddenly become the spokesman of the army when your brother takes over power.
5. Hypocrisy is when you celebrate every bomb blast under the previous administration and expect those who know your antecedents not to X-ray your current pseudo-patriotism.
6. Hypocrisy is when you describe then presidents visit to Chad as a trip to plan more attacks on civilians and your mentor suddenly visit Chad for the same reason and you suddenly see it as an act of good neighbourliness.
7. Hypocrisy is when you describe the former regime's attempt at seeking regional help to fight insecurity as shameful only to seek same help 72hrs hours after taking office.
8. Hypocrisy is when you promise young people #5000 monthly and feeding for school children only to blame an "empty" treasury with over 3 Billion dollars in excess NLNG payment as being responsible for your inability to keep a simple promise.
9. Hypocrisy is when you describe Nyanya as a15 minutes drive to Eagle Square during the previous regime only to describe same Nyanya as a very far community because government has changed!
10. Hypocrisy is when you describe the unfortunate Chibok kidnap as the most important issue the previous regime must tackle only to describe same issue as a distraction 30 days later because your man is now in-charge.
11. Hypocrisy is when you hail Lai Mohammed for saying APC never promised to feed school children or pay anybody five thousand naira and you blame Olisa Metuh for saying APC is scam.
12. Hypocrisy is when you hail Fashola for saying he never signed the cheques for the 78 million Naira website and hang Akpabio for saying he never signed cheques as governor.
13. Hypocrisy is when you declare Amaechi, Fashola, Tinubu, and Kwankwaso innocent until proven guilty and declare Jonathan, Dezeani, and Akpabio guilty until proven innocent.
14. Hypocrisy is when you condemn a man accused of stealing before he is tried and ask for empirical evidence when your party man is caught in the act.
15. Hypocrisy is when a media house goes in desperate search, sniffing for news of bomb blast as front page news during the previous administration only to for the same media outlet to place a blanket ban on reports involving bombs because their "mugu" is in-charge.
While not standing surety for anyone accused of corruption we must as a nation reject this hypocritical double standard by ensuring that anyone accused of fleecing the nation either directly or indirectly receive the same treatment irrespective of their political party or religious affiliation.
May God Continue to Bless Nigeria and Nigerians…Change is here!
