Dear Owelle, how are you getting on with things around you generally today ? I do hope you are still beeming with your usual smiling face, even though some people said the laughter has to do more with your dental issue than being real but that is not the issue here sir. I encourage you to keep laughing whether necessary or not. It does not concern anybody including Yours sincerely.
Owelle sir, the news of your anticipated plan to declare for the plum job of Nigeria President on January 31 is currently circulating on social media by your Social media apologists. Well, this is a good development looking at it superficially especially with the current agitation for a Nigeria President of Igbo Extraction.
On the other hand, I think your presidential aspiration is a mockery of an expected sound leadership that Nigerians yearn for in 2023.
I do not intend to be sarcastic sir but simply to convey my feelings about your seeming right to contest. I know that deep inside you, you should know that you are not the right man for the job. You should know sir.
First, let me prick your conscience Senator Owelle Okorocha, do you think that giving your abysmal performance as a Governor of Imo for 8 years, you are the right man for the job?
Now without going far or sounding immodest sir, it is on record that you left government of Imo state after 8 years and there was no single quality or motorable road across the state, none was commissioned either.
If there is any , it is not to my knowledge.
The saddest of it all is that even the road to your village House is currently impassable having cut into two along Mgbe road, less than 500 metres to your Ogboko house. They say charity begins at Home. This is the case with all the roads in Ideato Nation.
However, they say you cannot give what you don’t have. Sir, if being a president is about service delivery, obidience to rule of law, adherence to due process, constructing quality projects, management or deploying scarce resources to things that will benefit the people, sincerely leading the people and being altruistic in governance, please sir you may consider quitting now because your nut does not fit into the hole.
As Imolites, we have had your experience the bitter way in your 8 years sojourn here and we are afraid Nigeria will explode under your hand if the country experiences what we experienced here with you.
Oga, please don’t be offended ooo, do you mean you really want to be Nigerian President? I ask this question because i am afraid that two years into your regime, National Theatre, NNPC, University of Abuja, International Conference Center Abuja and other national assets may end up being converted to your personal or family property.
You know you have that rare courage to pilfer and brazenly convert public properties without any qualms of conscience. You know we had such experience with you in Imo state. And you will justify it when you will tell the world that Rochas Foundation acquired 95% of the equity share of NNPC while the the entire Country has 5%, and will even offer to buy off the Nigeria 5% equity share.
Oga, you know we had the experience here with you as Governor.
Sen Okorocha, i am one of the Imolites who pity Nigeria if, hypothetical possibility, you become Nigeria President. I am not under any illusion that it will be a disaster of monumental proportion and Imo state may be cursed by the rest of Nigeria because you came from here.
Although, you have the right to contest but sir I will be sharpening pebble and darkening Diamond if I don’t tell you point blank that you are not cut out for good leadership.
Honestly, you would have been a good Presidential material if you didn’t have the opportunity of becoming Imo state governor. That office exposed your inherent inadequacies and lack of sincerity of purpose in leadership.
Anyway, as an Igbo man, I want a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction but at the same time, I want the best person for the Country which clearly you are not sir . One thing I hate politics for is that it gives a wrong self impression and estimation to people and it allows unequals to aspire for leadership over equals.
Anybody with too much money to spend can come out to aspire for leadership in this country .This is too bad.
Ok as senator for two years plus now, how many senatorial zone briefings have you held? How many bills and motions have you sponsored or co sponsored? What is the size of your performance as at senator?
Conclusively sir, your presidential aspiration or declaration by this month ending is one aspiration that offends good conscience and defeats the genuine desires of Nigerians for a tested and trusted leader.
Your outing as Governor is a mirrow to what you will do if given the opportunity. Nemo dat quo non Habet (You cannot give what you don’t have) Ekwuchalam.
