I am far from the Local Government now, so I will not ascertain whether you people are walking with covered faces or with shoulders high. Let me allow you APC members, to ask and answer questions of integrity, legacy, conscience, maturity, and relationship.
I read in elementary geography that we have different time zones, and day and night could differ. Since the creation of Oju LG in 1976, this is the first time that other Local Government leadership in Benue State will celebrate their 100 days in office, and Oju will still be counting. Unfortunately, this is happening under APC.
I hope it will be in your plan in the coming days to explain to us the CITIZENS why the council leadership in Benue State was constituted on 5th December 2023 by the State Governor, and Oju was not included. I hope you may not trivialise this ugly historic issue and feel comfortable as if nothing shameful happened to our dear Local Government. I also hope you people will not direct us to meet you in court- be sure that we will not seek the assistance of the judiciary for obvious reasons. I think APC OJU is saddled with the moral responsibility to answer the integrity, legacy, conscience, maturity, and relationship questions around the despicable exclusion from the BHOA to the Governor’s Office on 4th and 5th December 2023, respectively. Does this show our strengths or weaknesses? Does it show retrogression or progress? Does it show sportsmanship in politics?
While we await your explanations, let me pry into likely areas that may cause this exclusion. Could it be that the governor deliberately excludes Oju? Could it be that the APC media in Oju say something appalling to the powers that be because they are known for that? Could it be the negative effect of the marriage of convenience between REAL APC stock and APGA-APC hybrid? Could it be an unsolicited/unnecessary boundary crossing by overzealous officeholders? Could it be a struggle for supremacy among top stakeholders? Could it be just an ego trip to justify unwholesome bragging? Because most of you are combining Nigeria politics with Christianity- could it be that God leads you to hatch confusion?
Whatever your explanation is, if you care to do it, one fact is sure: we have no leaders like the other local governments in the State. We are behind, and we will be operating in a different leadership time zone. Whatever your response will be, know that the citizens of OJU LG are bleeding and in shame under APC watch. Let me resist the temptation to say it may be better if it is PDP; that one will be a lie shaa because that party sabi do funny things too.
Only God and His Excellency Governor Alia know when we count the first 100 days in office in OJU LG.
Permit me to congratulate OBI LGC and wish the leadership a sweet time.
