Controversial Black British Human Rights Activist , Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi , has today publicly sent out his hearty congratulations to the newly elected Zimbabwean President , Dr Robert Mugabe.
Speaking in London at a Private Round Table Discussion on African Affairs , the eclectic Professor Obi bluntly said:
" Now that (His Excellency) Dr Mugabe has successfully contested the Zimbabwean Presidential Election . . . and has also been duly declared to be the lawful winner of the said 2008 Presidential Election by the Statutorily Competent Zimbabwean Electoral Commission (ZEC) . . . in addition to having also being formally sworn in by the Lord Chief Justice of Zimbabwe (with all of the Supreme Court Justices and Defence Chiefs in tow) . . . there is precious little that anyone out there can really do about it , as Zimbabwe still remains a Sovereign National State in it's very own right.
What the African Union really needs to do right now is to tell Dr Gordon Brown (of the UK) to shut his flipping gob and mind his own damn bloody business, while Africa seriously tries to solve the problem just like the AU recently did (under very similar circumstances) in Kenya.
Gordon Brown was never ever elected to be British Prime Minister via any general election in the UK , and he never ever even had the bleeding guts to honourably hold a general election once it dawned upon him that he would most probably lose it !
So what moral right does Gordon Brown now have to challenge the legitimacy of Robert Mugabe on the election issue ?"
When asked how precisely he would solve the problem , Professor Joseph Obi sighed:
"I have never (ever) been comfortable with the idea of Robert Mugabe being the Omnipotent Executive (Presidential) Head of State. Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia) has historically had both a Prime Minister and a Head of State.
My solution to this whole wretched quagmire would be to simply bring back the post of Prime Minister of Zimbabwe , and warmly offer it to Morgan Tsvangirai of the MDC - whose political party decisively won the Parliamentary Elections , as officially declared by the ZEC.
Then , I would also allow Dr Robert Mugabe - who decisively won the Zimbabwean Presidential Elections (as officially declared by the ZEC) to remain as Titular Head of State ; up until the hallowed time when he gracefully gives up the Ghost (which I can assure you will probably not be as long as you think).
In the Interim , George W Bush , Gordon Brown and all of the other nosey little busybodies (outside Zimbabwe) should kindly concentrate on the Poverty (and Destitution) in their very own countries - and please stop meddling in Zimbabwe's Internal Affairs.
Africa is more than competent enough to expediently solve it's very own regional problems (thank you very much).
All that it will take (in this particular case) is a Firebrand African Union Mediation Commission made up of Winnie Mandela (of South Africa) , Ibrahim Babangida (of Nigeria) together with Jerry Rawlings (of Ghana) - and the whole Zimbabwean Election Problem will be amicably resolved long before you know it . . . so that ordinary Zimbabweans (out on the streets) will at least be able to afford bread , butter, milk , rice and fish - while all outstanding matters are carefully being ironed out by the Seasoned Mediators."
