Firstly, Gov. Chime’s account in one of the dailies I read, I think The Vanguard Newspaper of 6th October 2014, was as beautiful as it could be, but it was all veiled in sheer hand twisting and normal use of the incumbency influence to intimidate the rest. His reaction to the notion that some people are threatening to go to court was that those people should not “fool themselves”. I was taken aback when Gov. Chime boasted that “We did that during the last council elections, all our 17 chairmen were returned unopposed“.
I know I may be odd in this thinking, but history will tell. I weep for this country. Every other person who should reason and think beyond today is in the fry. And we watch, helplessly, how the inordinate activities of the political elites strangulate creativity and retard our development and growth as a people.
They amass dirty wealth with which they flaunt in the daylight and they become instant superstars. All of us whose lives are being threatened now scramble to make them intimate friends. If they declare occasions where they want to burn our resources they have hijacked from us, we are the very first to gather to toast to our peril. Absurdity has become the order of the day.
Let us hope that whoever, eventually, emerges in all these political shenanigans will be independent minded enough to shirk off undue pressures, which is usually the consequence of anointing, to face the primary reason of coming to power which is to use the resources of the state to develop the generality of the people of that state and not to embellish the already bloated pockets of a few individuals. If Hon. Ifeany Ugwuanyi becomes that messiah, to God be the glory. I will always give my support from none partisan elevation, at the early stages but I will not fail to sound flurry if the situation gets awry.
