Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari has described members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as descendants of ‘Shemei’ whose dream of ruling the country for 60 years was truncated.
Adesina said most members of the former ruling party had been praying for the President to die so they could continue milking the nation’s treasury dry, forgetting that man was not God.
In an article entitled PMB and the Descendants of Shimei, Adesina likened story of the former ruling party to biblical story of Absalom, the son of King David, who had led an insurrection against his father. And the king of Israel fled, with some of his supporters in tow.
As David got to a place called Bahurim, the Holy Bible records that Shimei, the son of Gera, a man of the family of Saul, came out, and started cursing the fleeing king. You don’t kick a man that is down, goes a saying, but Shimei not only cursed David, he also threw dust and stones at him. It was a show of shame.
Adesina wrote, “The All Progressives Congress (APC), inspired by Muhammadu Buhari, halted the 60-year pipe dream of PDP at the polls in 2015. Has the latter forgotten? No, they won’t forget till forever.
“But so much is the animus, the antipathy towards the President that they wish him dead. While millions of Nigerians are praying, some elements are rejoicing, and imagining evil. But they forget: man is not God, and Jehovah always has the final say. The descendants of Shimei need to learn vital lessons from their forebear.
“President Buhari has tolerated people who have called him all sorts of names in the past two years. If he didn’t move against them directly, he could have allowed many Abishais to move against them, ‘and take off their heads.’
“But not our President, a reformed democrat, a pious man, who has resolved to leave the people suffused by hatred unto God. And will they get their just desserts one day? As night follows the day, they will. If not from man, they will get it from God. Their forefather, Shimei did. He reaped what he sowed.”
