Paul C Nwabuikwu, a longtime communications lieutenant of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has written a lengthy piece in thisdaylive.com attempting to explain why Nigerians supposedly do not take my presidential candidacy seriously.

Before dealing with his arguments, however, readers deserve to know where this sermon is coming from. Nwabuikwu served twice as Special Adviser to two-time Nigeria's Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a Bretton Woods lackey who, by the way, hates me with passion, to the extent that she wrote a book and made up lies about me just because I challenged her when she came to Nigeria as a dollar-receiving Minister of Finance under the Olusegun Obasanjo regime.

Indeed, Okonjo-Iweala herself recently recalled that she personally recruited him (Paul C Nwabuikwu) into her economic team because she needed someone to communicate and sell her "reform program" to Nigerians.

That history matters because Nwabuikwu now presents himself as an impartial examiner of who has substance and who does not.

He is entitled to his opinions, of course, but Nigerians are equally entitled to examine the political and economic establishment from which those opinions emerge, and to ask whether they are informed by genuine analysis or driven by personal vendetta.

Nwabuikwu describes me as an "eternal student activist," a "perennial presidential candidate," a practitioner of "SUG theatrics," and essentially a noisy fellow whose politics is supposedly long on drama and short on substance.

The insults may be entertaining, but they are not arguments. Yes, I was a student activist, and I am proud of it. At a time when many members of Nigeria's current establishment were accommodating military dictatorship, some of us confronted it.
