Opinion
By Val Obienyem
THE choice of Mr. Peter Obi as the President, evident in his overwhelming but stolen votes, is by universal opinion the best and happiest choice. If not because of his restraining influence and pacific inclination, the country should be burning by now. There is always a limit to which citizens fighting for genuine independence should be treated. If we want to be frank to ourselves, we must admit that the anger in the land has reached the boiling point where it is presently simmering.
The camp of Pablo Escobar realises this and is doing everything possible to demonise Obi. At last, they thought that manipulating the result, where they took him from the first position to the third position would render his will to continue impotent.
The last desperate attempt was to gather some experts in communication under the lead of the prodigal (Engr J I). I understand the budget is irresistible to those without honour. “Get or contrive any crime and publish same against him”, is the subsisting charge. The way they doctored the trending conversation justifies the insistence that the entire conversation is fake – unrecognisable from the original.
Did you notice that the birds of prey have suddenly gathered to feast on what they thought was a mistake? They are all over the place going personal against Val. Their anger and frustration rest on what they perceive as Val’s unrelenting defence. Why should he not cease defending this man so that we shall have the opportunity of eating him raw? For me, loyalty is blind!
Some of them are only annoyed that his life is full of virtues and not tainted by stories of drug trafficking, concatenation of mistresses, intrigues and falsification of everything, including age, parentage and origin. Must Obi remain an unusual politician, they said to themselves? They pray daily he makes a little mistake, out of descent respect for the frailties of man; hence, they probe him unceasingly. When they could not ensnare him, they doctored an innocuous statement he made in such a way that it is reasonable right to dismiss the entire publication as fake.
I can also see some inconsequential idiots and mediocrities alternating disjointed and amusing argument among themselves with the eagerness of a hound sniffing blood. They see it as an opportunity to excoriate Val who does not even know they exist. And what are they doing? They are barbarously expressing absurdities, which only geniuses understand.
