Dele Farotimi's Book Will Not Change My Mind About Afe Babalola
In this conversation, Babafemi Ojudu, renowned journalist, politician, and author of 'Adventures of A Guerrilla Journalist', shares his views on Dele Farotimi's book 'Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System' and its portrayal of Afe Babalola. Ojudu speaks of his personal experiences, reflections on Nigerian politics, and why his perspective on the legal luminary remains steadfast.
Note:
Aare Afe Babalola SAN recently filed a petition accusing fellow legal practitioner Dele Farotimi of criminal defamation. This petition, addressed to the Commissioner of Police in Ekiti State, is rooted in allegations made in Farotimi's book, "Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System."

    PA Adebanjo never like Bola Ige. He opposed his candidacy in AD. He never supported him right from day one. Forget all he said here. The leaders of Afenifere supported Ige to join Obasanjo administration. Adebanjo felt he should have been the one to serve at the Federal. How can you hated someone while alive and still speak of him negatively in death. That is evil. Adebanjo is retelling these stories as if people were not alive and witnessed the events. Adebanjo, as a party chairman, influenced the emerging candidacy of Olu Falae in AD despite Bola Ige enormous experience and his political capital. PA Adebanjo extended this same hatred towards Tinubu for following Ige political alternatives to AD. The party died a natural death when all the financial part of the party was decimated. Adebanjo became politically irrelevant until recently when he ferociously pushed a candidacy of unpopular candidate, thinking that will checkmate his swore political enemy. PA Adebanjo political memo is yet to be written. I wonder what the last chapter will look like. The dead are gone. He should learn how not to speak evil of the dead.

    1999-2000's were the darkest year in this new republic. Fed gov't under Obasanjo was responsible for a lot of atrocities committed during that time. There's no way Obasanjo can say he did not know who killed this noble man. I remember Obasanjo saying he was forming a gov't of national unity, and that formed the reason for a man like Ige to honor that invitation to be part of his cabinet. A chicken politician like Omisore could harassed and embarrass him in Ife, and Obasanjo could not do anything about it. Obasanjo humiliated him by not act and fish out his assassins. There were so many killings under his administration.

    His death shook me. I didn't know what to think at the time. Till this date, we still don't know why they killed him. One bright mind cut short needlessly. So the drivers outside the house didn't hear the gunshot? The gory sight of their patriarch shot point blank will forever linger in the minds of his family members. What a pity! Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

    Mr., you were told, "Let sleeping dogs lie," after publishing what was obvious about the judiciary over 25 years ago, and you accepted. Is that true journalism, in your opinion? If citizens call you names now, you will start chasing them with defamation suits here and there. You can defend whoever you believe has done well within the rotten judiciary system in Nigeria today, but believe me, Nigerians are waking up to identify those responsible for their problems.
