We have been inundated with tales and fables on the political situation and creation of my governor, Hope Uzodimma.
1.The premium attacker is Dr Fabian Iheakwaba. Fabian and I, haven't been in social writing , relationship. Before Uzodimma became my governor via the much criticized Supreme Court ruling, Dr Fabian, alias OMU was the grand Inquisitor, playing the role of Devil advocate in several platforms. Omu was the probatus ahihatus of efforts to advance the interest of Uzodimma. He played from the centre and struck cords that literally made the ousting of Gov Ihedioha looked like an answered prayer. Omu stopped short of telling the citizens of the state that Hope Uzodimma is the Messiah the state longed for.
The governor that "doesn't reward" his disciples paid Omu handsomely when he tailored a unique ministry for him. Hope created the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and made Omu the commissioner. Aside occupying the biggest ministry ( in terms of metres and diameters) Omu went down in history as the first Commissioner of Foreign Affairs in Nigeria.
Dr Fabian disappeared from activism the moment he carried his prize. He locked himself within the precincts of his Orlu road office and harped on several plans and designs to amend and redeem himself. He started looking smarter and cleaner. He flourished speedily. But He ran into troubles the moment he attempted to advance his physiological means beyond the level specified for his status ( as commissioner). Dr Omu was frustrated , denied access to information and formations, denied access to the crumbs from the treasuries and made to pass through the furnaces. He resigned. As expected, His resignation letter was celebrated ahead of it's submission. The office of the Secretary to the State Government puffed up champagne, regarding Omu's exit as a riddance of bad rubbish. His colleagues in government disowned him instanta and for two full years, Omu was in political incarceration.
Denied the usual allurement and accoutrement of office, the paraphernalia that signals power and the irregular dripping of coins, Dr Omu reached out to the same man he embarrassed. We watched him kickstart a pro- Uzodimma enhancement outfit and peeped as he went through the roughs swallowing his vomit. He told Imolites that there was compelling need to give Uzodimma another four years. As his pocket swelled, he succeeded in swaying popular opinion ti the favour of the Antichrist. Omu coerced and co-opted many of our boys into his new found - government sponsored Imo Social Contract Group
I have decided to believe the message even though I seriously have issues with the messenger. Dr Fabian Ihekweme, a politically unstable character, selfishly motivated adventurist said the truth. I have reasons to believe what he said. Hope Uzodimma, the governor has trappings of a mob-hater. He doesn't allow those working with him to work around him. He doesn't feel comfortable with exhibitions of freedom. As I wrote somewhere else, those who identify with the governor are always detected from distance. They wear hungry looks, flat thommies, wrinkled faces and jingless trousers. They are always in hiding, scouting for closed spaces whenever they are introduced in public. They are always sneaking into and out of their villages and occasions where , ordinarily , they would be announced. They are hugely in debts. Delusioned by unfulfilled hope, and famished bu hunger, these men and women who have been with the governor, and were actually given this and that as rewards, are yet to experience economic deliverance . One must ask why in spite of the rewards and expositions to political opportunities they had, they couldn't push the angels of poverty more than twenty cubic meters from their door mouth! What type of reward does the Omuma man offer ?
Dr Fabian Chijoke Ihekweme is an unstable character! He moved away from Hope and joined Sam Daddy. He abandoned Sam Daddy and ran to Peter Obi where he was accused of destabilization and embezzlement aptitudes. He ran back to Hope last year with full promises of getting his reward both in current and in areas. All these took place within a political season.
If another mouth has leaked the truth, it wouldn't have been grossly hushed down. Yes, Hope my inlaw hasn't been fair to his appointees, but don't need a character in the mold of Fabian to spew it out
Fabian should have used another voice to speak the truth. His fluctuations and ambivalence puncture all his efforts at becoming the spokesman of the masses. The truth remains constant while my friend Omu keeps dancing from one start to the next. Truth is truth, irrespective who voices it. Let's accept the message and throw away the messenger. Dr Fabian is incredible and not- straightforward ancient seer!
