Since Mr.
Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) emerged the winner of the
governorship election held recently in Imo State, all sorts of people who are
able to get themselves interviewed by reporters have been filling our ears with
rambling tales about how a new “messiah” had emerged to liberate Imo people
from the hands of their “oppressors” and “exploiters” and usher them into a
glorious era of limitless happiness.
Emeka Ihedioha |
As a
citizen of Imo State who has closely observed several governors enter and leave
the Imo Government House, I find the whole absurd drama so revolting.
If
only Mr. Ihedioha would spare some moments and reflect, he would realize that
there is nothing new about the drab performance that these characters are
staging today; nor is it peculiar to Imo State.
