So, I made a jocular Post yesterday. One OBIdient called Ifeanyi Ogbuka “washed” me very well. Even after explaining to him that he should read my Post again and see the clear intent and laughter emojis, he was pathetically implacable.
Nnenna Okoronkwo was actually shocked that I was still politely explaining to him notwithstanding his rude conduct. I told her not to worry.
Few days ago, my good friend, MsLibby Offem-Oke
said to me the day I stop writing about Obi’s qualities and do my usual stuff of seeking objective clarity about issues around him is the same day some of those who hailed my write-up will literally stone me. She said this is why she’s remaining a Fencist. She’s concerned our political support is contentious and disputatious instead of being issues-based. She was prophesying and has been proved right. I am forced now to respect her concern.
Thinking back, I’ll assume same me who has extolled Obi’s qualities three times on this wall which this same cantankerous character came to LIKE and fawn over should be accommodated if I ask Obi questions as harmlessly as with a joke.
But this fellow’s mouth-frothing venom was bewildering. Richard A. Abiodun had to write “Pele o” to console me. 😀
I will showcase any candidate’s good qualities on this wall. Be it BAT, be it ATIKU, be it OBI. I will also stimulate conversations and ask hard questions irrespective of any candidate involved. It is my right as a citizen. Your candidate is not a god that cannot be questioned. Your candidate is not perfect. He’s not infallible and is a mere mortal. I am serious about governance and because your candidate is not foolproof, I am serious about what he intends to do.
Yesterday I engaged one of the high profile BAT campaign Managers on Zoom…I asked him deep and tough questions. He answered every question and was glad I was probing. How dare anyone convert my wall to a theatre of war and insult everyone just to protect some mere mortal? It will not happen on my watch.
You, reading this, you must never allow any political supporter cow you into submission because you demand for probity. It is your right. Just don’t descend into the gutters with anyone, but by all means, dose them back in well composed, mature refutation.
Those of you who have constituted yourself into
E-THUGS for politicians, you’re not better than ballot-snatching political thugs you always repudiate. Some of them are actually better than some of you.
Just take this to the Bank: Powerful and resourceful brains don’t make noise and you can never win converts for a candidate you’re building enemies for
