Rivers state: ACN’s moral question
By
Odimegwu Onwumere
What
we have seen in the Rivers State Chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria
(ACN) is criticism upon criticism of the Governor Chibuike Amaechi-led
government of Rivers State in his second coming in office.
The
political party has taken over the work of critics to mean opposition. It is
always lending its voice, scavenging whatever Amaechi-led government has done
without setting its priorities on how it feels it should be done, which has
been the work of opposition political parties.
From the news of the governor purchasing a new
aircraft to the N250B Bond and sundries, the political party has added a very
‘loud’ voice, without any blueprint on how it feels governance should be in
place.
To
some of us discerning minds of the Rivers State politics, we have wondered to a
very gargantuan coverage on which moral tripod-stand the Rivers State Chapter
of the Action Congress of Nigeria stands to experiment with the litmus paper
that mirrors into the affairs of Rivers State, let alone, lending its harangue
for the unsuspecting Rivers masses to purchase and perhaps, see it as a saving
voice for their plight. Does it not take absolute morality to expose absolute
immorality again?
It
is very sad that this dinosaur of a party is applying everything possible to
come back to the public embrace, with a dint of media war and abracadabra,
changing appearances in order to either deceive or to hide important identities
of what a genuine opposition political party should mean and stand for.
The
party’s disgruntled politics in Rivers
State is appalling,
disguising its failure beneath a cheerful appearance, by forcing to appear
cheerful, and disguising the fact which can never be concealed.
From
what could be observed so far of the party, what is left of it is its public
relation desk which has been tirelessly using the media to sell the party’s
‘hard to sell’ image which was made churlish by its important stakeholders that
caused political mishap in the event of the recently past elections in the
state.
The
party is today donating its voice to the public even when the voice has crass
tones and cracked rhythms and rhymes.
The
general drift of the party’s affairs was heading towards oblivion, but now
still in a state of internal inactive and waiting for things to happen on its
favour, only if the government can extend crusts to it.
With
the way and manner the Rivers ACN is operating in the state, its activities are
causing most people to have a feeling that everything is turning around and
feeling that the party cannot stand firm.
This
is making most people to laugh silly at the party, some laughs are observed
while many are inside.
Like
a gigolo, Rivers ACN is suffering from political eye disease involving gradual
loss of sight, (otherwise called glaucoma). Yet, it is still fighting to see
the evening twilight, but oblivious that it is gloating over its own ruins.
As
it stands today, the Rivers ACN is twisted and rough, covered with knobs,
making its genuine adherents wailing and gnashing the teeth; yet the party is
gnawing at every attempts of Amaechi-led government of Rivers State.
This
party, without doubt, has a disease majority doctors can not define, swelling
through its thyroid gland, connecting to every parts of it.
It
is dangerous when members of any organization are gourmands; the members would
automatically become enjoyers and experts in this aberration called choice.
But
this type of enjoyment is always delicate to such an organization, resulting to
causing painful swellings in taking a firm stand in reasoning and in opposing,
because from the head, toes, knees and fingers, such a people are jaundiced
with overbearing and overeating of stew of steak and vegetables, seasoned with
paprika.
It
is very incongruous the way we have lost such a brilliant and precious party as
Rivers ACN to filthy politics in Rivers
State.
