I have read several reports, congratulations, remarks and comments since after the recent pronouncement of Eze Chikamnayo as SA to the governor on Communication and strategy. I made my deductions and don’t wish to reserve them.
The governor is naive and lacks the self confidence of a leader. Yes, any leader that succumbs to blackmail is not worthy to be a leader. Governor OVI does not show from most his actions the class of educational attainment he belongs. Let me quote Eze (Davidson) Chikamnayo of old when he was my chemistry teacher. He said, “education kills the blight of diseases, ignorance, superstition, intimidation, fear, blackmail and poverty.” How then can an OVI with PHD give in to such cheap antics of an Eze Chikamnayo? My problem with this clueless appointment is not because he was brought in after all the castigating and character assassination on the the person of OVI and other government top men, but because in trying to defend our once dear Governor, I personally stuck my neck and fought my own countryman. Even after letting the governor know the implication of bringing in such a blackmail expert, he still cowardly and naively brought him back again. This is the most devastating betrayal from a leader to his followers. I lost many friends who thought I was doing more than necessary against a brother and kin. I’m very sure that OVI and other government officials enjoyed the debacle while we shredded ourselves to pieces.
Could it be that the governor was helpless against a Chikamnayo whose only weapon is demagoguery & blackmail? Or he is lost in idea-based solutions to handle detractors. To complete the circle of disappointment, he should also appoint Don Obinna Norman who was in the same page with Eze Chikamnayo. Well, I won’t sound as vulgar as Chikamnayo in reeling out my displeasure over this obvious rape on the commitment and support of ever loyal party faithfuls of Umunneochi especially during the last general election where Chikamnayo brought OVI to ridicule. But let it be on record for me that I henceforth withdraw my support for OVI. He does not deserve the support of sound idealists since he is as cheap as blackmails. He has proven that his government is not pivoted on ideal principles. What cushion is OVI hoping to get from a deadly blackmailer who will stop at nothing to steal official information and sell to an enemy? Was it because he threatened to expose official secret and talk about your ‘wines and women’? Was it because he started a series that was disturbing only to cowards? What was OVI afraid that Chikamnayo may expose? Why does he want Chikamnayo to keep quiet? Did he forget his many Open Letters. See, we learn everyday.
It is now clear that we don’t have a responsive governor. Thanks OVI for toying with the PDP in Umunneochi. Whether you like it or not, PDP in Umunneochi are devastated with this appointment. Maybe this is the meaning of the rumour that you wants to leave PDP. But do you have to destroy the party before leaving?
