Oshiomole’s Ignorant Outburst: A Demand For Mental Examination
Recently,
the world has witnessed a series of uncoordinated outbursts from
members of the ruling All Progressives Congress. Members of the
hierarchy of that broom wielding coven have been falling over themselves
to accuse INEC of partisanship with the opposition. Some of these
accusations have been absolutely baseless and most embarrassing ,
exposing the emptiness of the thought faculty employed by the APC.
The
most recent of these rants emanated from the crises causing, jumpy and
irascible Adams Oshiomhole at the last emergency national caucus meeting
of their party. He accused the electoral umpire of bias. Specifically,
he alleged that the REC in Akwa Ibom state allowed the training and
recruitment of ad hoc staff meant for the election to a special
assistant to the Governor. Nothing can be more false. We state as a fact
That, there has never been any recruitment or training programme of
INEC that was handled or supervised by any member of the Akwa Ibom state
Government. We challenge him to bring any proof of a training or
recruitment process of INEC ad hoc staff that was undertaken by an aide
to the Akwa Ibom state government. As a man who has been a Governor for
eight years, it is ordinarily expected that his words should be seasoned
with wisdom and maturity, but his utterances are far from this
expectation. This falsehood recklessly proclaimed by Adams Oshiomole is
very unfortunate and demands a holistic assessment of his mental health.
In the recent past, Adams has in his speeches, actions and posture
acted in a manner unbecoming of a person holding the high office of the
chairman of a ruling political party.
For the avoidance of
doubt, this false claim by Adam Oshiomhole is the last card in his
party’s unrelenting desire to remove the Resident Electoral Commissioner
in Akwa Ibom state in order to pave way for the Warsaw General and
National Comedian, Godswill Akpabio to finish the elections in three
hours in favour of their party. It will be recalled that Senator Akpabio
had promised at an APC rally that he will finish elections and produce a
result favourable to the APC in 3 hours. Having met a roadblock in
Igini’s forthrightness and penchant for truth, they have resorted to
telling outright lies against the man. Recall further that it was the
same trick that Godswill Akpabio used to remove the commissioner of
police, Joe Abang. Akpabio whispered to Oshiomole who cried out on
television at night and in the morning, the former Inspector General of
Police redeployed the gentleman officer and brought CP Musa Kimo who
threw caution to the winds and handed the entire police command in Akwa
Ibom to Godswill Akpabio, posting his cousin, Idorenyin Akpabio and his
other cronies to strategic posts and redeploying those unsympathetic to
their cause. With the change of guard in the police, Akpabio’s CP became
AIG, but has been unrelenting in his quest to deliver Akwa Ibom to the
APC. The AIG has practically relocated to Akwa Ibom State for the
elections.
We must state that the electoral process must not be
subjected to the whims and caprices of the ruling APC. The umpire must
be allowed to be independent in all ramifications. The fact that the
electoral umpire has refused to bend to the ruling party’s scheme,
should be commended not vilified.
We advise Oshiomole, Godswill
Akpabio and their crying partymen to return to the drawing board and
seek votes from the people and not to try to arm twist the umpire. We
know that this pre-loss cry is a test run of the post-loss cry that
awaits them after the elections.

Comrade Ini Ememobong
State Publicity Secretary
