Delta APC, a confused bunch of unserious people – Delta PDP

&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Delta State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party&comma; PDP has described the opposition All Progressives Congress&comma; APC in the State&comma; as a bunch of confused&comma; unserious people&comma; who don&&num;8217&semi;t understand what Party politics is all about&comma; adding that the confusion has now taken another absurd level&comma; with a faction of the fractured party calling Barr&period; Sylvester Imonina&comma; who has been signing all their recent spurious and incoherent press releases&comma; an &&num;8220&semi;Impostor&&num;8221&semi; and challenging him to show evidence that he is indeed the &&num;8216&semi;real&&num;8217&semi; Publicity Secretary of Delta APC&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>THE ISSUES<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">A Press Statement by <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;openlife&period;ng&sol;">Dr&period; Ifeanyi Osuoza<&sol;a>&comma; Delta State PDP Publicity Secretary&comma; which contained these observations&comma; reads thus&colon; &&num;8220&semi;Is the APC in Delta State actually a political party or just a gathering of confused&comma; unserious jokers&comma; who have nothing better to do than bark&comma; like lazy dogs&comma; at everything they see or hear&comma; without reason&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">It is amazing that Barrister Sylvester Imonina&comma; the self-styled Delta APC Publicity Secretary&comma; does not understand simple political arithmetic&period; He does not know that a simple matter like an election campaign&comma; is one of the hallmarks of party politics&period; And that it requires members of a political party to rally round their <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;wsj&period;com">candidates<&sol;a> towards victory in an election&period; Example abound at both PDP and his own party APC in Edo and Ondo States&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">To even call on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa &&num;8220&semi;to leave Edo <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;dailymail&period;co&period;uk">politics<&sol;a> for the Edos&&num;8221&semi; in his rambling press release titled&colon; &&num;8220&semi;Prosperity For All Deltans&comma; Now Poverty For All Deltans &&num;8211&semi; Delta APC&&num;8221&semi;&comma; is really the most useless and worthless suggestion which unfortunately reflects the height of political emptiness&comma; ignorance&comma; and immaturity that defines the intelligence of the Delta APC Spokesman in political matters&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>SYLVESTER IMONINA AS IMPOSTOR<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">No wonder a faction of his APC party recently cried out and issued a damaging press release&period; &&num;8220&semi;The attention of the SWC Delta has been drawn to a report by one impostor called Barrister Sylvester Imonina&period;&&num;8221&semi; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph"> They are obviously fed up with the bad image and negative reputation the publicist has built for his party&comma; as a group that lacks the <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;dailymail&period;co&period;uk">intellectual capacity<&sol;a> to articulate and grasp the process of governance and party politics&comma; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The statement reiterated that &&num;8220&semi;the so-called Barr&period; Imonina is not a member of the State Executive Committee &lpar;of Delta APC&rpar;&comma;&&num;8221&semi; further claims that&comma; &&num;8220&semi;He &lpar;Imonina&rpar; did not partake in the party congresses&comma; neither is he a party to the consent judgement that gave birth to the present <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;wsj&period;com">State Executives<&sol;a>&&num;8221&semi; and challenged him to &&num;8220&semi;show to the public where his name appeared as a member of the State Executive Committee&&num;8221&semi;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The author of the Press release&comma; Mr&period; Okpako Felix&period; who signed it as &&num;8220&semi;State Publicity Secretary&comma; APC&comma; Delta State&&num;8221&semi;&comma; declared categorically that&colon; &&num;8220&semi;I remain the State Publicity Secretary who participated in the congresses and my name is there in the consent judgement list&comma; for clarification&&num;8221&semi; and after alleging that the factional Chairman&comma; &&num;8220&semi;Mr&period; Jones Erue and his accomplice&comma; Mr&period; Theodore Ezonfade transferred millions from the party account into their personal accounts&comma;&&num;8221&semi; concludes authoritatively that he hopes&comma; &&num;8220&semi;this document would clear the air and shut the mouth of that impostor&&num;8221&semi; &lpar;Barr Sylvester Imonina&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">This press release&comma; as damaging as it is&comma; also arguably explains why Barr&period; Sylvester Imonina&comma; hungry for some kind of recognition in his overzealousness to justify the burden of his illegitimate impersonation as spokesman of APC&comma; embarked on his voyage of self-deceit and promotion by commenting on every issue with the irrelevance of nuisance and diversionary intentions&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Suffice it to say that having now been shamefully and embarrassingly exposed as an alleged impostor Publicity Secretary&comma; the effort to respond to his recent ignorant press statement&comma; is only substantiated by the need to educate him and set the records straight that first of all&comma; the PDP is one united&comma; happy&comma; cohesive family&comma; unlike the APC and we look out for and support our members all over the Country&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Secondly&comma; our own Governor&comma; Dr&period; Ifeanyi Okowa&comma; &&num;8220&semi;Ekwueme&&num;8221&semi; is the Chairman&comma; PDP South-South Governor&&num;8217&semi;s Forum and we need not remind Sylvester Imonina that since Edo State and indeed the entire South-South is now under the control of our great party&comma; PDP and our governorship candidate is also the incumbent Governor&comma; the mandate and ultimate objective of the South-South Chairman is to sustain our political domination and work hard to deliver our candidate to victory in the September 19&comma; Governorship election&period; That is what party politics is all about&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Just as he has been exposed as APC impostor APC&comma; it is also possible that Imonina is an impersonator Deltan&period; Otherwise&comma; he would have realized that Edo and Delta are offsprings from the same root&period; And that by re-electing Governor Obaseki under the PDP umbrella&comma; the old Bendel growth plan would be reactivated&period; The bonding and synergy between the two States especially in the areas of infrastructural development would be more expansive&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>OBASEKI’S RE-ELECTION<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">By the way&comma; Imonina also calls on Edos not to take Governor Okowa seriously in his appeal for Obaseki&&num;8217&semi;s re-election&period; So&comma; the question for the impostor APC Publicity Secretary is that&colon; ls he now asking Edolites to vote for <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;openlife&period;ng&sol;">Ize-Iyamu<&sol;a>&quest; A man&comma; who his own sacked National Party Chairman and godfather&comma; Adams Oshiomhole&comma; has described as a fake pastor&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Is he telling Edo people to now vote for a man who&comma; according to Oshiomhole&comma; tells lies a lot&quest; A cultist who poured acid on another person and destroyed his manhood&quest; A man not trusted with power or money&quest; A man who is presently in Court facing corruption charges&quest; Is this the man who Imonina and APC want Edo people to vote for as their Governor&quest; It just goes to show the kind of people who make up the APC&period; How sad indeed&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Sadly again&comma; we have to remind the likes of <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;openlife&period;ng&sol;">Sylvester Imonina<&sol;a> that the title of &&num;8220&semi;Roadmaster&&num;8221&semi; was bestowed on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa by none other than President Olusegun Obasanjo and it is indeed sad and unfortunate that the impersonator of Delta APC Publicity Secretary&comma; will rudely and disrespectfully say in his press release that&colon; &&num;8220&semi;Shamefully&comma; some political hangers-on call the Governor &&num;8220&semi;roadmaster&&num;8221&semi;&comma; thus reducing the pedigree and phenomenal stature of a former President of Nigeria to a &&num;8220&semi;political hangers-on&&num;8221&semi;&period; This is the height of freedom of speech and licence to write taken way too far&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>OKOWA’S EFFORTS<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">As for the reversion to the old minimum wage&comma; it is an emergency arrangement agreed to by the workers themselves&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">They understand it as a necessary sacrifice in recognition of the harsh economic reality that has overtaken the whole World with the outbreak of the Covid-19 global pandemic&period; It has been explained to the blockheads of APC times without number&comma; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph"><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">It is will also be instructive to refer the APC to the numerous&comma; widely reported roads infrastructure that are being completed and delivered by the Governor Okowa led administration in our Local Government Areas on a regular basis&comma; as well as the thousands of youths who are being empowered as <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;openlife&period;ng&sol;">STEPreneurs and YAGEPpreneurs<&sol;a> in the very successful jobs creation and empowerment programme of the brilliant SMART Agenda&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>CONCLUSION<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph"><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">On a final note&comma; it is important to remind the likes of &&num;8220&semi;Mr&period; Imposter&&num;8221&semi;&comma; Sylvester Imonina of the administrative truism that government does not only create jobs but it also creates the enabling environment that creates jobs and that is what the administration of <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;openlife&period;ng&sol;">Governor Ifeanyi Okowa<&sol;a> has been doing in the last five years&comma; with creative and well-structured initiatives&comma; including those that are taking our youths and masses off the Streets&comma; not only through the entrepreneurial jobs and microcredit programmes amongst others&comma; even in the midst of the Corona Virus pandemic&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The administration has equally accommodated most of these youths as aides and other auxiliary staff in gainful engagements&period; APC detests this&comma; which has taken these young Deltans off the Streets&comma; with hateful bitterness&period; The youths are happy because lives that may have ended up in criminality have been saved&period; The rare opportunity has aviled them capacity to fend for themselves as well as families&period; Sometimes&comma; we wonder the bitterness that has transformed the APC Spokesman into a monster that wishes young Deltans bad&period; Yet he sees nothing wrong about the battalion of &&num;8216&semi;aides&&num;8217&semi; employed by APC elected politicians in APC enclave&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading"><strong>ADVICE<&sol;strong><&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Our advise to Barrister Imonina is to try as much as possible to clear his head of bitterness and confusion&period; He should also clear his name from the damning allegation of impersonation which his own party brought on his head&period; In like manner&comma; the Barrister should try as much as possible to understand what party politics really means&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">We equally advise him to find time to also read up and see the impactful initiatives&comma; projects&comma; and programmes which the administration of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is putting in place and delivering through the very articulate SMART Agenda&comma; in the concerted effort to build a Stronger Delta and deliver prosperity to all Deltans&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">PDP&excl;
