Many Nigerians, like me, are aware,that, the most dangerous coverups in the notorious PDP Mafia instigated propaganda mayhem, against Nigeria under the guise of Herders versus Farmers Crises, was ostensibly hatched and precipitated from Benue State,
During ex Governor Suswam’s droopingly corrupt administration,
Whose negative actions and activities visibly discredited Benue State,
And for the first in the world, embarrassed the prodigiously hard working and emotionally proud citizens of the state ,
by his inability to pay workers salaries, particularly Teachers,
which had accumulated over 9-10 months areas,
As a result of which,
he had to run to the corrupt infested Federal Government of former President Goodluck Jonathan for a bailout,
At a time when the embattled PDP Mafia installed, inept and clueless President was himself ,
Also making frantic efforts, in search for “a new political bailout solution of his own,
In the form of an unholy bail out political alliance,
To fulfill his desperate second term Presidential bid,
The product of a PDP, And David Mark’s earlier,
Preconceived anomaly,
Illegitimately baptised, as well as diabolically popped up as a new contrived,
And conspiratorially constructed capitalist political bogey tagged, “doctrine of necessity”,
Which contractual terms and conditions incorporated the bailout clauses for remediation of nonrefundable repayments funds,
For Benue Workers’ salaries and arrears,
In lieu of former incumbent Governor Suswam’s audacious announcement,
At a World Press Conference, before the Aso Villa former President Jonathan’s Press Corps,
During which, he emotionally pontificated by assertively advocating during the press interface,
That,”unless the Fulani Herders are relocated from the Banks and Valleys of the Rivers Niger and Benue ,
Nigeria will not know peace.
And low and behold,
these pronouncements became the new slogan and popular jingles and national anthem,
For all the Pro-Jonathan ethno religiously inclined, But corrupt bigots and HYPOCRISYTOMANIACS,nationwide.
And the rest of this unfortunate saga is like everyone knows,
Now the unfortunate product of history,
which legacy we are still grappling with its salutary consequences,
Which negative impacts and implications seem to dubiously and hypocritically,
To have collectively become our burden and permanent liablialitis,
That have also affected the INEC conducted Presidential election outcomes,
And if, INEC, as an inpartial Umpire fails to address,or at least curtail and checkmate some of the apparent dastardly levity, laxity, lapses and infiffernt lopsided advantages the old PDP’s security architecture seems to have preserved intact
for the former Senate President, David Mark, as well as former Governors Suswam and Ortom’s cryptic misuse,
To destablise and undermine the new electoral fortunes of the peace loving ,George Akume, Paul Unongo and Jack Tilley Gyado Unity Groups,
whose Governorship nominee, Barrister Emmanuel Jime,
A prominent Tiv son married to an egually thorough bred Idoma woman.of elegance and moral.substance ,
whose great social commitments to the poor peasants ,
And combined with the Spouses spiritual orientation towards the unity of all the people of Benue State,
Has become the reference topic of interest in the state,
Which impacts has boosted the APC candidate’s popularity beyond the power of incumbency of the PDP candidate,
Whose actions and tendencies are regarded as the most torturously corrupt and prebendal legacied that have tarnished the good image of the Benue people,
in the annal of their heroic political history.
I want to confirm here,that, during my recent post presidential survey visits to Benue State,
where APC has numerical advantage of having already 12 out of 23 Local Government Chairmen,
The masses freely and excitedly expressed their personal opinions and optimism, about Barrister Emmanuel Jime’s victory,
as long as INEC conduct the election agenda, in accordance with its stipulated rules and guidelines,free of collusion and official intimidation of unpaid workers.
In fact,during my research surveys, the ordinary voters complaint of too much powers and privileges,which their perceived, were given to Governors Orton and his predecessor, Suswam and David Mark,
Which they argued and protested,
As if the old system of PDP immunity, impunity ,as well as corrupt practices are now back in full and active displays,
which according to them,has made riggings to be in vogue again, and blamed the outcome on these glaring evidences of official complicities in the electoral process during the Presidential and National Assembly phase!
However, the people of Oju and Obi , the twin APC Iggede speaking Local Government Areas,are optimistic and hopefully determined to protect their votes and deliver same to APC’s.Barrister Emmanuel Jime,if according them, only requested theINEC and the Security Agencies to be neutral, since all their votes are ,according to them,already reserved for the husband of their Idoma Siste!
In fact ,according to Friday Obonyi, an APC elected councillor, who had endured all the anti human rights abuses, denials and frustrations, for refusing Governor Ortoms official inducements and illegal deductive overtures to join the PDP,
like their former Local Government Charman,
life has been a harrowing experiences under Governor Ortom,who refuses to pay their personal honorariums,
as officially and constitutionally provided.
From all visible indications established by my survey, the bad omens on the grounds against the PDP have already predictively projected their ugly heads,
As a result of incumbent Governor Otorm’s accumulated records of infamy ,
And PDP’s litiny of lootings and corrupt liabilities in the state,
The Governorship Crown in Benue State awaits only God’s .Barrister Emmanuel Jime’s victory at the polls on the anointed date of Saturday, the 8th of March 2019,unless and except,both INEC and APC Stakeholders decide otherwise.by failing to do the needful actions, in line with their prescribed mandates!
And on that note,only time will tell.
