Is Alex Otti Infected With APC VIRUS?
Following the events in Abia in the past few days,
one will notice the desperation, do or die politics
and total lack of sportsmanship which All
Progressive Congress is widely known for. The
confusing thing is that the one orchestrating this
in God's own state is not yet an official member
of the Party.
One is now left to ask: Like Ebola, is APC
syndrome so infectious that a once respected
banker like Alex Otti will engage in thuggery just
to get a mandate which the people clearly gave
to another on grounds of equity and fair play.
Otti has not only refused to congratulate the
obvious winner of the April 11 polls but have
turned Abia into a war zone where the electorate
he sought to lead can no longer move freely.
While the allegations that he is affiliated to APC
with a promise to cross over if he had gotten the
seat rage, he should save his supporters and
Abians from this violence.
He should toe the line of notable politicians like
President Goodluck Jonathan and congratulate
Okezie Ikpeazu. Let him stop being Lai
Mohammed and APC, soaking the dog and the
baboon in blood.
For those who are helping him to perpetrate this
violence, let them remember that no ambition is
worth the blood of anybody.
By their fruits we shall know them. From the acts
of thuggery so far, Abians who are still undecided
should know in whose hands the state will be
calmer and better. While Otti has demonstrated
intolerance to dissenting voices, Okezie will make
Abia a home. Remember this as you go for the
rerun.
