He is at once real and shadowy. He wears an identity as he would a mask.
Ever ready to deny the Obiano government of its
achievements, he alludes to the obvious ones as effort of a bequeathed fund.
But when reminded of improved security since Obiano, he
argues that kidnap was no longer in vogue by 2014.
When confronted with evidence of its menace in other
places, he changes the narrative and tells you that Obiano is taking credit for
a finished job.
When shown evidence of transformation going on in Awka
capital city- the new flyovers and the flood light- he calls them obstructions
on highway.
When reminded of his doubts over the completion of the
flyovers, he says it became possible because the contract sum was mindlessly
varied.
When an inherited project is completed, he tells you it has been fully paid for
before Obiano came. Where otherwise he goes to town with camera.
When he hears that new roads are commissioned, he swears
they are all in Aguleri. When contradicted with evidence, he claims they were of lower quality or they
had been paid for by the previous administration
When he drives along the well-lit streets of Anambra in
the night rather than commendation, he queries the economy of the service.
When roads and the State Secretariat are maintained, he
shouts that the government has spent six years doing only maintenance.
When students and teachers in the state win laurels after
laurels, he says the glory should go to previous government.
When there is a drop in performance, he accuses the
government of presiding over the liquidation of sound education policy in the
state.
When government decided to take development home to all
the communities in the state through community-choose-a project initiative, he
calls it jamboree.
When government decided against the sack of thousands of
workers employed at the twilight of the previous government, he says their
salaries were already kept by that government.
When the clarion call for investment was answered by many
investors from the state, he accuses some of the investors of being fronts for
the governor.
His cynicism is unmatched and he believes he has answers
to all the problems of the state. He wants the governor to handle government
matters in certain way failing which he attacks it like a surly mastiff.
Perhaps the time is now to ignore his defamatory
comments. The time is now to deal him the reject button.
