It is no more news that I have stepped down as a trustee of the Social Intervention Advocacy Foundation, SIAF. As indicated in the early hours of this morning, here is my statement:

1. A formal resignation was sent to Sega at the beginning of the third week of January
2. He replied that Distinguished you are going nowhere.

Following my appearances at the #Endsars judicial panels in the south east and south south, I did a quick review and thanked my colleagues @EphesisL who central to our work. I tell my colleagues that I would review
My pro bono work and relationship with the #Endsars movement, considering the mistakes that were made during the struggle and personal politics that was clearly endangering the movement.
In October, at the height of the struggle, I did speak to Sega and expressed my reservations
About his unnecesary antagonism of other groups and personages involved in the struggle. I advised that SIAF should as a group speak and act, not individuals. We had an understanding, so it appeared. A few days latter, he made a remark that endangered all when
He called peaceful protesters insurrectionists. I spoke with him and asked him to withdraw that unfortunate label.
I then drew the line in the sand and moved on, while appealing to all to understand his politics. Then, the vote of over the reopening of #Lekkigate happened
I don't want to go over our private exchanges on what transpired. I will let sleeping dogs lie.
Finally, I thank him for inviting me to have a seat on his table. It is an honour I shall cherish for a long time. However, I refuse to be drawn into the commercialism of activism;
and I find it more honourable to walk...

Thanks.

Good morning from the sanctum sanctorum of the shrine.
