Orji

The latest ranting by Governor Theodore
Orji’s aides in the media is dishonourable. They have thrown decorum to the
dust bin just as their principal has thrown a gemstone such as the position of
a governor away and chose to be a gainsayer.
In a leap to pull themselves out of my position in the
article titled, “Abia: From God’s Own State To Goons’ Own State”
they have been publishing one vacuum article with different names and titles.
They said that my article was incoherent and lacked editorial touch, a position
that showed that the aides wanted to tell the world that they knew it all more
than the ever capable editors that vetted the article and my other titles and
found them worthy of gracing the pages of their newspapers. This one apart!
It is shameful to bring into line my
precious words with these people that posterity may find it very hard to
forgive. I am not the only person who is ashamed; many Nigerians are mortified
to arrange in a line with Abia
State. Who do not know
that the blameworthy activities of Orji are responsible for their action?
Orji’s aides were writing about Utopia development of the Governor Orji
administration, yet one meticulous inquiry on the people’s lips is why no sole
consequential developmental activities in Abia State. The aides would always give excuse
with the sharing formula of the Federal Government.
One good thing that the Orjis in the
Abia State Government would have done was to work in the state just the same
frequency they were bent on lavishing Abia people’s money on unnecessary media
campaign of the things we knew that were not true they wanted to sell to the
public. These aides want the world to believe that it was our people who
wronged Orji, while he has done nothing against the people. We know the school
of politics of these Orjis – propagandize. And when I tell them this, you read
them in different blogs they create to tarnish the image of critics of the
government calling me a blackmailer, rapist, extortionist, kidnapper and sundry
hoping that people will buy their distractions, but people knew who are the
original blackmailer, rapist extortionist, kidnapper of good governance in the
once God’s Own State now turned Goon’s Own State.
It is obvious that Governor Orji has
turned opposition to the positive wishes of Ndi-Abia and at the same time would
be shouting about being opposed by a personality in the state, a tactic he has
devised knowing full well that his tenure is closing stages soon. Tell
Orji that the roads in Aba
are in serious bad shape, you become the enemy of the Orjis in the Abia State
Government. He will not put the roads in order? Don’t worry, the rains will
soon start and the residents of Aba
will begin to cry again. By then, the much touted sixteen roads the Orjis said
that they were building in Aba
would be a matter of questioning.
Governor
Orji cannot bury his propaganda mercenaries and move Abia State
forward? They are good at avoiding the good business of
governance, but perfect in shifting blames for their woes. Is it not an
embarrassment to have a governor like Orji and his retinue of aides in Abia State,
who are always in the media, but in the wrong direction, like pupils directed
by their master to be commenting in the newspapers so as to see who comes
first? The Orjis in the Abia State Government knew that posterity may find it
very hard to forgive Gov. Orji, so they bent on dragging people’s names into
the mud and calling them enemies, when the Orjis are their own enemies.
It is primeval rearwardness at its unsurpassed state in Abia State.
Orji is using his uncouth aides to insult and malign personalities from and
outside Abia State
who have contrary views to his primordial patterned government, which has bred
abysmal performances that have offered Abia State
meaningless features. Orji is wasting Abia people’s money for this reason.
When the aides write in their mischievous blogs with
pseudonyms calling me all sorts of names even a betrayer, I wonder if they do
not know that Gov. Orji is a chief betrayer. We all knew what he did to his
political mentor. Orji freshly said that he has searched his conscience and
could not find anywhere he has wronged his political master, and this shows
that he has none. No one is ready to sympathize with Orji for his
self-inflicted failures in governance or listen to his excuses where there
should have been none.
The latest is that Orji is even
rejected in his Umuahia hometown. His people are forming alliance with other
towns in the state to make sure that his none-performance is exposed. And his
aides are secretly writing to some of the Umuahia people begging them not to
abandon their brother. These righteous people from Umuahia are rather bluffing
the Orjis, telling them that they are interested on daring commitments to a
better Abia State, and would not be part of a man
that posterity may find it very difficult to forgive.
