ImoRiver: ANAMBRA is the problem of Igbos in Nigeria politics and scheme of things. They are cursed to be causing divisions among Igbos and attracting hatred and problem to great Igbo nation. And my problem with them is that they criticise everything anywhere they are. Other people's govt and development is not good to them and can never be accepted except the rare ones in their state. Go to Lagos, Enugu, Ebonyi, portharcourt, Aba, Imo and North they are doing the same thing. Always finding fault and criticising but hardly criticise or allow somebody to criticize Anambra and her government. At times I wonder the kind of grasp these people have, are you sure they are Igbo sef? They are the people bringing division in Igboland and attracting hatred from tribes in Nigeria through their actions and reactions. |

Your useless brothers kanu and Uwazurike are from your useless state why not use this opportunity presented by them to carve out your country. We shall be happy if we do not have any in common with the dead state of Abia that brings all manner of embarrassments, scorn and stigma to larger igbo society because of their dead state. We don't give a fvck about you 2nd class Igbos. Go to hell for all we care. Aba ngwa filthy pig.. [s] B2mario:[/s] |

THE TYRANNY OF OPPOSITION IN IMO
By Charles Asoluka
The level of antagonism towards the progressive policies of
the government of Governor
Rochas Okorocha, by a vocal minority in the state,
constituted mostly by members of the
electorally disgraced opposition and a section of the Mass
Media is increasingly
becoming a source of serious concern to political observers
and analysts.
In the last few months, the barrage of criticism has been
overwhelming. Opposition has
become determined, more than ever before, to obstruct
virtually all government policies
and programmes. This, it has relentlessly done by spewing
hatred, intolerance and distrust
alongside propagating mischief and falsehoods. In many
instances, it has engaged in
publishing what could pass as seditious documents against
the state in its criticism of the
government and its policies.
At some other times, opposition has engaged in the
manufacture of controversies,
mastermind and sponsorship of unbelievable propaganda
against the government with the
intention of creating anarchy, distracting the government,
setting it up against the people
and making the state ungovernable. So much so that at a
stage, the entire state and its
citizenry almost became paralyzed with curiosity and
concern over the spread of such
troubling but highly mischievous falsehood.
No doubt, these attacks on government and
its policies are spurred as much by frustration, mischief and
failure of opposition to gain
power.
Such criticisms justly expose members of the opposition to
the contempt and indignation
of the good people of the state as enemies and traitors of
our march to true democracy
and development. The ill temper they harbor and which they
have expressly displayed
against the government is clearly evident of their
discomfort and frustration. To be sure,
lies and malicious propaganda are among the greatest
obstacles to democracy.
Unarguably, the confidence of opposition seems to have
been energized, redoubled and
strengthened by the current economic hardship in the
country, occasioned by the fall in
the prices of crude, which has tightened the economic and
financial noose on the
Nigerian state, resulting in rising inflation and high cost of
living among the people. As a
result, opposition has used the current economic quagmire
to castigate and justify its
attacks on the government.
Rather than worry about experts’ warning on the dire
consequences of the present
economic predicaments on the country, which they say
constitute a clear and present
threat to everyone as well as to the stability of the state and
indeed, the country, these
conspirators and political desperados, are more interested
in defending selfishness and
creating fear and division. Indeed, it is clear that opposition
is very conscious of the
wickedness of its acts and the fact that its cause is anti
people and anti democratic.
In spite of being internally divided and generally unpopular
as a result of its performance
in the last 16 years in the country and 12 years in the state,
the main opposition party in
the state still deludes itself as a party of choice among the
electorate. Ever ready to
politicize every issue and conversation, some factional
members of the party, recently
engaged in the politics of waste removal along a major road
in the state capital.
Fortunately however, the people are not deceived, as their
showy expression of patriotism
is nothing but a refuge of scoundrels. Hence, rather than
concert effort in reconciling its
disparate factions and rebuilding its battered image in order
to attract the sympathy of
those suffering from selective amnesia, as the people have
seen the best and worst of
them, the party has been engaged in all manner of
campaign of calumny and invectives.
Pity that the party hopes and truly believes that its
desperation and resolve to make the
state ungovernable will enable it dislodge the government
in power and reenter Douglas
House in 2019. It is indeed instructive to draw their
attention to the outcomes of the
recent senatorial election in Okigwe North in the state and
the governorship election in
Edo as clear evidence to the contrary
No doubt, Governor Rochas Okorocha’s 2011 electoral
victory was aided by the
rudderless leadership of his immediate predecessor, abuse
of office and the kind of
corrupt excesses the administration had allowed, if not
encouraged, having been hijacked
by swindlers, traitors, sycophants and psychopaths. Most
unfortunately however, the very
same person who, many alleged, squandered a great
opportunity, has been in the vanguard
of opposition, the latest being his attacks on the Governor
in a speech he delivered during
the 2016 Diocesan Synod of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican
Communion), Diocese of
Ikeduru, and his wanton open letter of two months ago.
Hence, upon his election in 2011, Governor Okorocha did
well to give the administration
all the weight of his great reputation, and ever since then,
his overriding desire has been
on how to make Imo state a vibrant commercial and
industrial giant, with modern
infrastructure.
Owelle has over the years demonstrated beyond reasonable
doubt that he
has the political will, courage and capacity to put Imo state
back on the wheels of
progress.
As a man with a firm conviction and a long term
perspective, his openness for
new solutions under changing conditions is legendary.
Without any fear of contradiction, Governor Okorocha’s
working class image and the
distributive and transformative policies he embarked on can
easily be said to have caused
the escalating resistance from the opposition. Such policies
of the government helped to
dislocate not a few grubby, ravenous, desperate, and
opportunistic politicians, specious
demagogues, petty bourgeoisie, greedy election financiers
and bankrupt intellectuals,
thus, breaking their hegemony and the terrible culture of
god fatherism/motherism in the
state.
A section of the media, on the other hand, has been
complicit, having been equally hijacked by
the opposition. These Media Houses either belong to
members of opposition or are
seriously under the control of certain people who are
opposed to just everything the
present government represents.
No doubt, the impact of the dissemination of falsehoods
and opposition political propaganda to the wider society is
far reaching. Indeed, some
writers and publishers have gone to the unfortunate extent
of abandoning the trade’s
traditional ideal of impartiality and commercialism. Instead
however, they have become
political parties’ spokespersons, manipulators and
operatives. I however commend those
courageous and honest ones whose impartiality and
objectivity on a number of public
policies are reassuring.
To this people, I dare say that the cause of truth and our
fledgling
democracy are immensely indebted to their pens.
It is however not as if credible opposition is unacceptable.
As a matter of fact, it helps to
keep the government in power on its toes by continually
reminding it of its pact with the
people. However, when such opposition is taken to a
breaking point, it causes disruptions
in the system, constitutes a tragic distraction and therefore
becomes counterproductive.
While it is not in the nature of Governor Okorocha to
attempt to silence critics of his
government as some governors are wont to, he however
regards unguarded criticism as a
pull on the system which, if unrestrained, could impact on
the democratic process. As a
matter of fact, the government has been remarkably tolerant
of opposing viewpoints on
issues surrounding its policies despite the ferocity of such
views.
Notwithstanding all of these however, the Owelle-led
government is not perturbed,
neither will the shenanigans of opposition result in
derailing the people’s mandate. Of
a truth, the people of the state have never been denied of
the dividends of democracy as
the government is alive to its pact with them, not minding
the present economic setbacks
which are only temporary and national in nature.
The noble efforts of the courageous and visionary Governor
to enthrone a new Imo state
must not only be encouraged but embraced by all. The
present stakes are rather too high
for unnecessary criticism.
A time like this therefore calls for great inspiration and
instruction from
everyone. It is a time when all of us should be guided by
the virtue of our capacity for
self correction and renewal. It is not a time for playing
politics but that of providing the
much needed maturity in both leadership and followership. |

Most of his tenure as governor, Rocha Okorocha spent Imo state money building his mega city of Owerri. He refers to any other place outside Owerri as rural areas. But beginning the late 1970s, late Sam Mbakwe government started the classiffication of Okigwe, Orlu and Oguta as urban towns. Successive state governors of Imo state have treated these towns as urban centres, except Okorocha government. 1 Like |
