FAKUTA AND THE BURDEN OF TRUTH

By Salingo Bala

“When a man’s knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has, the greater will be his confusion of thought”……. Herbert Spencer.

Since his acclaimed leadership of the 5G Network, an office considered by many as too exalted for him, Tsamari Fakuta has virtually gone haywire, looking for scapegoats for his inability to rise up to the enormous challenges of superintending over the 5G Network, a political pressure group formed in Hong Local Government area of Adamawa State.

In the process, especially in the recent past when he started nursing the ambition to contest for the forthcoming Local Government Council Chairmanship in Hong Local Government, but realised that he is not measuring up to be among the possible contenders in the contest, possibly due to his political immaturity and childlike manner, Mr Fakuta has been waging war of attrition against those perceived as his enemies, and working hard to vitiate the enviable legacies bequeathed to Hong Local Area by successive leaders who held sway in that office in the past.

What baffles many people, is the antecedents of our man as a lecturer in the Adamawa State College of Education, Hong barely eleven years ago. During this period, it was alleged that our man misused some educational award funds approved for him in 2018, amounting to over seven million naira, courtesy of TETFUND through his employer, the ADSCOE Hong, to further his education in one of the educational institutions in the United Kingdom.
Unfortunately since then, neither the over seven million naira, nor a certificate of attendance of the said school has ever been presented by Mr Fakuta to the college as an evidence he had attended the said course of study overseas.

Knowing fully well, that people may have gotten the wind of this alleged fraud, while he nurses the ambition to contest for the forthcoming Chairmanship of the council, Tsamari Fakuta has allowed himself to be overwhelmed by personal and unfounded sentiments and vendetta. His recent actions and comments in the public domain have exposed his despondency and desperation, as if he is oblivious of the circumstances surrounding his personality over time.

But for some of us familiar with the unbecoming dimensions of the goings on around him, we have been watching him closely, undoing himself in an open political field. And so in our bid to cleanse our society of this kind of characters, we feel duty-bound to unveil his alleged atrocities to serve as deterrent to some of his ilk.

To compound his self-inflicted problems in the area, our man just like the peacock that is known for it’s pride and arrogance, Mr Fakuta has of recent displayed undue arrogance and bullying those who refuse to pander to his inordinate whims and caprices. It is this mad rush to crucify and backmail other responsible fellow politicians who hail from the same local government area willy nilly, that informed my reaction to this his fraudulent, childish , and immature behaviour to denigrate other fellows from actualizing their dreams for the common good of all.

At this juncture, it is expedient for me to mount the horse and gallop down the memory lane of recent history..If as he claims he is a good political material worth our mandate to allow him govern us either as Local Government Council Chairman and or Member of the Legislature from this area, let Mr Fakuta in all honesty answer the following questions:
Did he really undergone the course of study he was admitted for in the United Kingdom in 2018?
If his answer to the above is in the affirmative, is there any empirical evidence to prove he attended the said course, where it can be proved he expended the said award of funds approved for him by TETFUND through his employer?

Further to these, there are also allegations of siphoning of substantial amount of money meant for disbursement to supporters of the 5G Network between 2022 and 2023 under his superintendence.
If his records of stewardship in the 5G Network are clean as he would want the whole world to believe, let him also in all honesty state all the records of disbursement here for all to see?
There are also allegations of rape of some underaged girls by our man: using that his supposed leadership in the network. But I wouldn’t like to waste time on that issue here. It will thoroughly be investigated and if need be, the details will be reported here for public consumption.

It is an open secret that the lifestyle of our man doesn’t epitome transparency at all. But if my position on this is on the contrary, let him prove it here for all to see?
Accountability and transparency means nothing to him.

Since his supposed reign as the face of 5G NETWORK, even a drooling imbecile knows that the organisation was run like a cult. It is this politburo-style of Fakuta that has ruffled not a few feathers at the 5GNetwork. . This singular observation may have accounted for some of the real reasons no any member of the group worth his name has ever come out openly to speak in his favour.

But as a lecturer, he ought to have known by now, that History is like gallows, it hangs those who ignore it’s lessons. Let me stop here for a while.
