2027: To Posit That A Party Will Take Over Abia in 2027 when Candidates are yet to Emerge Is like the Confused Chatter of the Confounded Barbarians who Attempted to Build a Meaningless Tower of Babel.— Etigwe Uwa SAN
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Etigwe Uwa, has expressed confidence in the political astuteness of Abians, stating that they will not blindly follow any political party or candidate in the 2027 elections.
According to him in a statement issued today:
“Abians are politically astute enough not to hand over leadership of their state on the basis of any franchise granted by any political party.
“Quite apart from the fact that political parties in Nigeria, with the exception of one or two, have no strong ideological anchor, the ingress and egress of politicians in and out of political parties is dictated largely by selfish considerations of where best a politician’s bread is buttered.
“Any discerning and realistic observer does not require too much wisdom to know that Abians would seek out the most competent person in 2027 and succeeding elections regardless of party affiliation.
“To posit that a party would take over Abia State in 2027 now that Abians do not know who the candidates would be is an overly presumptuous and condescending insult on the corporate intelligence of Abians.
“Abians would make an informed assessment and determine for themselves who they would elect when the time comes.
Abians are cautious and deliberate and would make critical decisions advisedly.
“Abians would look before they leap. We would for instance not vote an unsuitable candidate simply on account of a magic wand waved as party flag.
“One thought that these points are fairly self-evident given the degree of enlightenment Nde Abia possess.
“The greatest impediment to the progress of the Nigerian State are most members of the political class.
“Politicians would do well to focus more on governance which relieves the pain and sufferings of their people rather than engage in the confused chatter of the confounded barbarians who attempted to build a meaningless Tower of Babel.”
