Nigeria's political space has been overtaken by
the godfather, godson syndrome.
Examples abound in Nigeria, but we will
examine the above stated who are bent to install
their stooges on the people at all cost.
Irrespective of what or how the people in the
state feels.
It is common knowledge to understand that
the godfather, godson syndrome.
Examples abound in Nigeria, but we will
examine the above stated who are bent to install
their stooges on the people at all cost.
Irrespective of what or how the people in the
state feels.
It is common knowledge to understand that
Akpabio and his Abia state counterpart will stop
at nothing to deliver the seat of power in theirstates to their stooges cum political sons.While Akpabio would have bowed out succesfullyfrom office as governor, he wants his shadow tostill linger in government house Uyo for another
four years, if he succeeds in his plan to foist
Udom Emmanuel on his people.
We must do the bidding of the master. That is
the assignment of Udom and Ikpeazu which is to
be handed to them by their political
benefactors.
Akpabio was never a product of godfatherism,
but he has turned himself to the lord of the ring
in Akwa Ibom.
If he was God,he will command men to worship
him.
To Akpabio, only Udom can cover his dirty deals.
The people who profess "Udom Udom" today,
do that, not for the love they have for him, but
for percuniary benefits attached to singing and
shouting.
Some being coerced to either support him or be
shipped out.
Why will one man determine the collective
destiny of Akwa Ibomites?
A state enriched with intellectuals and rich in oil
and mineral resources.
Just like T.A Orji came from the prison to
become governor.
He was foisted on Abians by his erstwhile
benefactor,Orji Uzor Kalu.
With his fear of not returning to prison, he
jumped ship to PDP from PPA to save his neck.
Just as his former political godfather brought
him, he is determined that Ikpeazu must govern
Abia state.
But Abians have risen.
A state that cries for development from the
outset.
A state T.A Orji pocketed for almost eight years
of his administration without projects to show.
Accepting Ikpeazu as governor from T.A Orji is
like eating with the devil with bare hands
without even a spoon.
Abians are not fools.
Was T. AOrji actually a mistake?
Just as Lucky Dube in one of his albums
said,"how long shall we kill our prophets; while
we stand aside and watch."
How long shall Abians wait for development?
A vote for Ikpeazu is a vote for
underdevelopment.
Its a vote for the return of T.A Orji's 2007-2015
reign.
Never again should Akwa Ibomites and Abians
look on.
This world is a stage.
Why is Akpabio and Orji refusing to bow out
honourably?
Why do these men feel they should determine
who succeeds them instead of the people
deciding?
Enough of this impunity and imposition.
Until Nigerians rise to defend their destinies, we
may still find ourselves on the cross roads of
stooges being left for us in government.
The time to act is here.
A REPUTATION FOUNDED ON INTEGRITY MUST
BE NURTURED.
