PDP vows to recapture Imo, Southeast – Mba Ogbonnaya
A fortnight ago was greeted with a ranting from a PDP Chieftain most people described as comical especially coming at a time Nigerians are engaged in the fight of their life to restoring their already bashed dignity and confidence by the Peoples Democratic Party.
That Akobundu’s outburst to say the least depicts a people that have lost the grace to do anything good. This party for the agents of under-development’s case could be likened to Biblical natural sinner whose heart is severed to do nothing but evil. Even when PDP is preached to, the ratio of doing the wrong thing is eight is to two. Col. Austin Akobundu (rtd) should be advised to wake from his world of fantasy because that sounded to me like one of the kiddies’ favourites – Alice in wonderland. I do not also want to believe that he thought his comment through before letting it out.
Akobundu had claimed that the recapture of South east was necessary given the fact that the zone was at the fore front during the formation of this party that may be described a curse to the zone rather than a blessing. If there is anything that has stood in the way of the Zone under review, it is PDP for which its best acronym should be People Deceiving People. My conjecture is that Akobundu must be a pretending worker to earn his wages. Even in the lack of face for her rape against the soul of the Nigerian State, Col. Akobundu has the obsess effrontery to insult the sensibilities of the Igbos. A saboteur is your name Akobundu. Yet again, South is been presented for sale for 2015 by the merchants of underdevelopments.
It is even more insulting to the psyche of the people that this unwholesome statement was made in Imo State where PDP’s twelve years of rot and muzzling of people will is being cleaned up by Governor Rochas Okorocha. For twelve years, PDP could not boast of any completed project. In terms of welfare, Imo State reaped abject poverty. In capacity building, PDP decided to give a gift of most poisonous mamba to the people. People were sent to their early graves. Then pillaging was the only seeming vocation of a gang of people deceiving people.
Had Col. Akobundu not decided to turn a blind eye to the truth, he would never have considered taken a plunge in such a manner he did. Worse still, these are people that are innocent of morality let alone observing any known democratic ideals.
Abia State as the worst and most backward State in the South East remains one of the painful punishments meted out to the people of South East. That is one punishment too many for the people of South East. Does PDP not have any means of calling their politicians to order? Oh! I have forgotten that the party in question is more in interested in self serving issues, which reigns supreme. One time tipped Japan of Africa is on its knees. No Roads. Projects achievable in three months are being celebrated after five years. That is PDP.
Nudging the South Easterners with their role in formation of PDP is argument lack substance. That actually goes a long way to expose that PDP does not have any vision for our people. How can we be lured with sandy and stony rice meal? Yes! It shows the manor’s animal farm kind of love. We will never for fall for this.
There is this foul smell in all parts of the country coming from PDP defecation. Somebody so close to our Akobundu should kindly tap him to wake up from his dream. He should come back to reality. If his name is worth its meaning Akobundu should tactically make a U-turn. Many of us have appreciated his kite flying but that is a kite not worth flying at all.
Without particularizing this issue, visit the South Eastern States and see the scum PDP has turned South-East to. Past twelve years have been a reign of locust and all kinds parasitic PDP Politicians. It is on record that PDP’s misrule has in no small measure tinker with the indomitable and enterprising spirits of the Ibos. For me, PDP should be tried at the International Criminal Court of Justice. Even if we were at war, should we be so recklessly mutilated and killed without dignity. There is a subtle Economic blockade in the South East as infrastructures are left to decay. In terms of sharing the public good, South east cannot boast of any. Refineries are to be built in some zones. What comes to South East? The South East was totally deleted from the railway project. The zone is left to rot at the behest of some PDP arrow heads.
Making such inciting Statements on the eve of the mutiny in Imo while addressing the Party faithful in Owerri, Col. Austin Akobundu foretold what the future holds. It was a coup in Imo State by PDP. More disgusting was the way and manner some of the DPOs conducted themselves as though they were political thugs. And of course, the Attorney General of the Federation has his fare share of the shenanigans that happened in Imo. The stay of Execution application was ignored by the traditional outlaws. We shall be watching as the events unfold.
Using Imo State to test the re-invocation of do or die will definitely boomerang. The people of Imo State are no push overs. They have eyes to see. They have ears to hear and they also have the capacity to do their research. A group of hawks smuggled into power even against a court injunction are said to be crying for justice. Who is crying for justice here? Okorocha may not have had the power to dissolve the so called LG Bosses but what was the foundation that brought them to power. That is what Imo sons and daughters are ready to die for and not people interested in pillaging the little resources of the State.
For the Attorney general of the Federation, he has undoubtedly tasted of the forbidden fruit of PDP that leaves no one free of double standard. Shall we recall the case of Salami? How long shall we continue to wait for Mr. President to declare his assets? It is in Imo where Rule of law reins supreme that is being accused. Yes! The defunct Chairmen got some reprieve but the State Government appealed and also applied for Stay of Execution. Why in a hurry if PDP is so sure it will get justice. It is a calculated attempt to distract and destabilize the Imo Governor in whom PDP considers a threat in the South East.
Ndi Igbo unu mara asu unu asua nikwe. Nigeria is subtly embracing Regionalism through the regionalization of the parties. PDP will soon become an orphan and it is this threat that has brought the war of attrition. Imo is getting better and PDP’s wickedness is being exposed by the day.
Let us rally round and chase away the fox amid us before warning hen against wandering in the bush. The garrison Commander of PDP in the South East should remember a bitter trade-offs that is being tried in his home. We can accept him if he repents of his unjust war against his people in the name of party politics. APGA stalwarts too should be visionary and know that he that is surrounded by enemies must at all times be vigilant.
PDP has lost out in the North going by the attendant carnage its politics has caused. PDP has totally lost South West going by the re-discovery of the Zone that PDP is synonymous to misrule and decided to take its destiny into her own hands. Ndi Imo unu mukwa anya. You are being traded for 2015. What have we got from them? Where is the Bridge across River Niger? Where are railways and the refineries? Bikonu! Let us come together and encourage our real leaders not sale-outs.
Onwula m n’olu!
