The season of politics has come again. Power shifted from Central
to South senatorial districts and now from South senatorial district on its way
to North Senatorial district. Of course, even though some power mongers would
have wanted it to return to Central or South for unknown reasons.
However, every true politician in the Peoples’ Democratic Party in
the State are fully aware of the division such position would create in the State
and are on point when they argue that it is a sequential logic that after Central
and South, it should go to North. Though, certain determinants should not be
sacrificed on the altar of zoning. That concern the quality, ability, capacity,
acceptability, exposure, integrity, and intellectual depth of whoever will want
to seek election into the high office of a governor from North senatorial
district.
In North senatorial district, we have the professionals in
politics that have the brain capacity and intellect to deliver; we also have
those whose professional calling is politicking. Goodly, of those who are
professionals in politics with the capacity to deliver the dividend of
democracy to Delta people is a former Permanent Secretary, Government House and
Protocol, Tony Chucks Obuh, who stands out.
He is the man whose heart is agreeable to the people including
those in the opposing camp. Even Opponents have accepted the fact that in this
contest, Tony Obuh remains the best and stands a better and greater chance not
only because of wide acceptability but the mien, intellect and exposure to
developmental issues across the State.
But why do we read disparaging reports against Obuh in the media?
The answer lies in the simple fact that those executing the media terrorism are
either jealous or aggrieved that the doors of the political ark is closing
against them with the entry of Obuh. Again, having found no fault in Tony Obuh,
some have either accused him of having the support of the governor or
being a neophyte to delve into politics. Of course a similar situation was also
recorded in the Bible that even when Pilate found no fault in Jesus, the Jews
who were bent on seeing that he was killed accused him of healing people on the
Sabbath, an accusation that didn’t hold water.
Understandably, there could have been something intrinsically
wrong if everyone has accepted with open mind, Obuh’s aspiration because of the
kind politics most are used to. This is more so that in the theory of diffusion
of innovation, there are the early adopters who key into new products
immediately they are released into the market and there are also the laggards,
who, no matter how best the product is, they will stick to what they are used
to even if the efficacy is on the decline.
Interestingly, the media terrorism against Obuh should be expected.
They want to put him in bad light before the public eyes or pummeling him to
submission so as not to contest the election. In spite of the blackmail being hurled at Obuh,
his popularity is growing astronomically by the day.
Daily, most people who were in some other camps are joining Obuh’s
team because they have seen a humble and dynamic personality, an honest
politician, a game changer and a detribalized gentleman who believes in hard
work. People see in him the good intentions he has for the State in terms of a
diversified State economy, employment generation, accessible health care
delivery, better educational system and a vibrant workforce.
