Can the APC and our party governorship candidate call Obla to order? His constant vituperation on social media platforms is doing us more harm than good. 2023 elections is not your regular election circle. The voters know who they want no matter what you offer them. They careless about PDP, APC or LP. What they rather care about are the personalities in these parties. The result of the Southern Senatorial District election is a pointer to this fact. LP didn’t just present a candidate, they presented a politically rooted politician yet the voters knew who they wanted and they displayed it at the ballot.
Listen, I know OBIdients who are staunch Prince Otu’s supporters. I know Senator Jarigbe supporters even in the North who are amenable to the governorship candidacy of Prince Otu inspite of their love for Jari. The more the erstwhile President aide turned blogger continue to abuse Obi and Jarigbe, the more harm he does to us. Now is not the time to talk tough on Social media platforms. It is time to appeal to the consciences of people considering the outcome of last Saturday elections. It is time for all of us to fall back to our various wards and Local Government and solidify our hold especially for us in the Central who the party is now looking up to.
Instead of righting off the rumored alliance between the PDP and Hon Daniel Asuquo’s LP, why can’t Chief Obla rather look at the issues dispassionately and see how best he can advise the party leadership and infact the governorship candidate? Do the people of Akamkpa/Biase have the right to be angry? YES, is it right for the two biggest position that are in the South to remain in one Local Government? NO. However, Dansuki has never hidden his position about the southern governorship. It now behoves on us to appeal to him and many others like him who are not talking but waiting for March 11 to register their displeasure to have a rethink.
Prince Bassey Otu is one of the best selling product in current election season. His antecedents speaks loudly for him. As supporters, we must also adopt his very calm disposition in handling issues.
Chief Obla must leave Social media and relocate to Ekori where I understand our Party loss in the 3 Council wards in the last elections. With the continuous detention of Obol Goddy Etta, attention must now be shifted to his ikpakapit council ward. Thank God for our choice of Assembly candidate but then again, does a tree make a forest?
Enough of Social media pls.
