2019 DESPARATION: DELTA APC AND THE MERCHANTS OF INFAMY

Only a society that takes to self-destruct plunges into lies and propaganda over just about everything, such that it never really considers for a second an adventure that seeks to obliterate the toils of her founding fathers in a bid to score needless points to earn the next available dishonest gratification, even at the expense of the future.

The desperation of APC Delta State is not only leaving a sour taste in the mouth, but is dealing our collective heritage of good brotherliness an embarrassing blow, which points that the biblical prodigal character may have found its way to our society, challenging every sane disposition of unity we ever prided in.

At a time, unity and strength of character should serve as our guiding principle, the unpatriotic act of shooting ourselves in the thigh has become our greatest undoing, especially now that we have tended to grow a voracious appetite for power beyond acceptable standards of free choice and good conscience.

The avoidable skirmish and bitterness that have dominated major discourse; giving the online media a feast, may never have been if our allegiances to our dear State is a little stronger than the flame of a candle light put out in the wind, at a time far-leftists have braved flouting even sacred ordinances of respect to authority.

Governor Okowa's only known offence is that he has refused to siphon public funds and share remnants of the stolen money to people to appease them. This administration is spending judiciously to develop the State. The administration is not frivolous and reckless financially, it has done so much with the minimal resources at its disposal. The State government has performed excellently in terms of provision of physical infrastructure and social amenities

Hate, falsehood, propaganda and deceits are vices the governor has roundly trounced by keeping faith with the people's support as he goes unfettered in delivering even more than he promised in the last twenty-seven months of his stay in government, to the chagrin of a few who waited to see him fail.

Unfortunately APC and its merchants of infamy have repeatedly been shamed in their efforts to tear down every of Governor Okowa's fabric of acclaim. Regardless of his focus at building a more formidable future of economic renaissance through prudence and probity, the governor who has already made commendable strides, infrastructural consolidation and citizen's empowerment, despite the biting recession, has gone further to make do his promise of inclusive governance, by opening the doors of government for every Deltan person and group.

In all of this, one is reminded of an African proverb that, "a man who is on the floor has no shame." These men of ignoble character are not new to losing, as they have been repeatedly floored, with their morale battered and defeated on all fronts.
