JUST BEFORE YOU JOIN THEM….
‘’A witch doctor who invoked a storm on his people cannot prevent his house from destruction’’.
Do you remember in 1999 when the South West held sway in Alliance for Democracy?
They were the opposition and they did it so well. They were not specifically marginalised from the centre neither were their people massacred at slightest provocation.
They remained in AD even when Bola Ige (south west) was appointed as the attorney general of the Federation under Obasanjo’s (south west) regime.
The dividend of opposition didn’t come forthwith. Patience, perseverance and strategy made it possible that the history of Nigeria cannot be written today without a mention of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu (APC Leader) and Yemi Osinbajo (Vice President).
Outside the purported mutual hatred that Igbo’s share with President Buhari, It would have been easier to market APC in south East if the only Governor from APC in the region had not turned Imo State to a joke.
Senator Ken Nnamani is one figure that commanded respect among not just his peers but all political watchers in Nigeria. He remained in the good book of the region’s ardent political followers till recently. At a time when the people who enthroned the present unprepared and mediocre government are apologising for their wrong judgement, our people are busy hustling and begging their way to a crumbling and dysfunctional edifice. The promise is that they will become Vice President, they will be handed over to.
Sen Ken Nnamani will become Vice President, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu will become Vice President, Dr Chris Ngige will become the Vice President and even the governor of Imo State that has failed woefully in managing the affairs of what use to be one of the vibrant States in Nigeria is dreaming of becoming the President of Nigeria.
Has Senator Ken Nnamani become impecunious just years after bequeathing the office of the number three position in Nigeria or is it a self-seeking act of miniature political relevance?
I leave the guess to you.
Orji Uzor Kalu’s political sins can be forgiven. We had miscalculated that every assumed big fish should be caught with a big bait yet we didn’t feign ignorance of the fact thanks for some years now, he has seen his political empire crumble like pack of cards. We have seen him descend from the gargantuan political height to the decumbent, bottommost and rock bottom political standing.
He cannot fathom the fact that he has been made irrelevant by his hitherto toddling political protégée. One can barely envy his rat racing as he tours from PDP, PPA to APC. As selfish as they always are, he needed to remain relevant .As we know once a Nigerian ventures into politics, he becomes a professional politician that finds it difficult to survive outside the cookie jar. They struggle like fish out of water even if it entails dining with the devil.
Before hunger pushes you to raise the broom and follow him, remember that a wise dog doesn’t follow a politically flat stomached person.
Orji’s move was for Orji, for his business and for EFCC to stop harassing him. Make your own move, if you must. Don’t follow the bandwagon of shameless porridge of yam seekers who parade themselves as Igbo leaders.
The moment I saw Ifeanyi Uba cry after the last presidential election, I was certain that things won’t remain the same. He was this close to cutting his political teeth, but for Jega.
The moment the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) failed to yield the expected dividend, Ifeanyi would become a journey man. Nobody would want to be the next victim of subsidy scam probe and the Prospect of contesting for Anambra State governorship electiom under APC platform is another mouthwatering consideration not minding that Andy Ubah was promised the same ticket.
History will be fair to Ifeanyi Ubah for setting up Ifeanyi Ubah FC that has mopped the youth of the street, generate employment and usher in entertainment in the city labeled ‘’light of the nation’’.
That being said, the new order will follow no one to a party that has failed to inspire confidence.
Andy Uba decamps to APC, becomes Ngige's boy 14 years after uniting with his younger brother to subvert the will of the people in making Ngige the governor of Anambra State.
Andy Uba certainly belongs to the old set of politicians who reigned during the gory political days in Anambra State. The Gestapo styled tactics that was deployed in Imo North Election, Rivers re-run and Edo state may have created room for his optimism as regards quest for power. The plot is, their conspiracy will spiral to ‘’igwe bu ike’’ that will sweep excellence out of Anambra state. God forbid!
Anambra State certainly cannot afford another bum trip to the land of egotistical godfatherism.
Imo state was once glowing in excellence, dictating the pace in leadership but the irony is, ‘’Imo started enthroning jokers when Anambra started dethroning hoodlums’’. Rest in Peace Cheif Sam Mbakwe.
Anambra cannot afford to retrogress to those dreary and desolate days of Mbadinuju/Emeka Offor, Chris Ngige/Chris and Andy Uba.
Jim Nwobodo long lost relevance when his then political protégée Dr Chimaroke Nnamani betray him. Opportunity to rediscover his expired political magic wand must have dragged him to the cross carpeting dance of shame. Don’t join him in this dance, it is not just about relevance but about being baptized in the mucky APC political water that washes the participant off Dasuki’s sin of incarceration.
Just before you join these egocentric bread and butter politicians, remember that they don’t contact you before the jump ship.
Say no to them and their lies.
Say no to self-appointed Igbo leaders who are lacking in rectitude and morality.
Take control of your destiny.
