Politics is supposed to
be a vehicle for achieving public good. But it is not so with Nigerian politics.
Here, the interest of majority of those in politics is private and self-centred.
In such state of affairs, honesty and integrity are thrown to the wind, while utter
shamelessness takes over.
What is APC without majority
of PDP leaders and members, who now occupy its rank? Every day, one hears the slogan
about PDP destroying Nigeria, then you begin to wonder whether they are referring
to the acronym PDP or its members and leaders, who have now largely moved over
to APC. It is more disheartening in Delta State where those who were in the commanding
heights under the two preceding administrations are the ones now loudest in proclaiming
PDP failings, while singing APCTakeOverDelta.
But you can never give up on a quintessential thing. Senator Ifeanyi Okowa has shown in the last two years plus that he has the competence, capacity and disposition to good governance of the State.
The economic downturn in
the country notwithstanding, the kernel remains that Senator Okowa is a
politician with profuse passion for bettering his people’s lot. As we move
towards 2019, there is the certitude that Deltans cannot be hoodwinked by the
current conspectus of oppositional tirades and tantrums in newspapers and the
social media. The puerile context, diseased contents and cerebral shallowness
of the desperate messages to undermine the civilization and intellect of Deltans.
There is nothing for
anyone to salvage in Delta State. The State has advanced beyond the level of
mediocrity and political rascality that is the hallmark of opposition politics
in the State. It may not yet be an El Dorado, but, assuredly with sound practices
in financial management by the governor, Delta’s glory is as good as
immeasurably revalidated.
