Bravery is one of the
fore most characters of people that will make a mark in the present and such
legacies will remain on the marshal walls of history as a clear demonstration
of their charisma. In the week that ended social media wall of some Igede folks
became highly active just immediately one faceless and character assassin named
Okalibo Ogbadu came up with a story of financial fraud against Hon Nick Eworo
alleging that the Hon Member collected the sum of 2million Naira from one of
the Oju LG Council chairmanship aspirant Hon Ogor Andrew Idah during the just concluded elections,
he pointed that the money was designate for the wife of the Governor of Benue
State, Her Excellency Dr. Eunice Ortom, Okalibo pointed to the fact that Nick
after receiving the cash failed to deliver the money as agreed. click below read more after the cut
The week in review will
remain one of the most dramatic week for most social media users as every tick
of the clock brings a new revelation on the said matter. However my crux has no
affiliation to the transaction hence I was not there when the said cash
exchanged hands. My position remains the truth must always be kept and not
destroyed.
I am writing because I feel
there is every need to correct some things that stare us in the face, Oligede from
time immemorial is sought after both home and abroad because of the high regard
for truth and conduct, little wonder we are always placed and called to serve
in capacities by government both federal and state regardless of our
population. Insults, character assassination, lies, cheap blackmail has never
been the a priority of an Igede man and the near future does not see us to be
welcoming such attitude as a style hence the culture of an Igedeman frowns at
it.
The developments here
are not far from what has been the trend everywhere when it comes to politics
but one begins to wonder if Okalibo is that interested in the progress of Ogor
Angrew, if the answer is yes then where was he when the mandate that Ogor is
said to have given the 2million for was stolen. I demonstrated my disappointment
with the situation and in the face of the heat in the company of the veteran
journalist James Ibechi and Bar Alobo granted Ogor Andrew an interview in
Makurdi and he told us that the government had assured him that he will be
given the slot of Vice Chairmanship and supervisory councilor so he should let
it go and he agreed, further developments as regarding that surged when Hon Austine
selected another person who was not the candidate Ogor Andrew presented, we
were ready to do whatever it takes just to make sure money politics and Igede
as a nation gets it right when it comes to selecting political office holders
but the reverse seems to be the case when the said Ogor Andrew was trying to
pay for the mandate of Igede people, let me not conclude that here but remind
you that all these stories of financial transaction will never surface in the
public domain if Ogor had won the election. How could he even give 2million
Naira just to talk to the wife of the Governor, who is she? And what is the
connection with the election of the Igedeman?
My submission therefore
is that if Okalibo thinks he is a freedom fighter and a voice of the voiceless,
then there are several unresolved issues that affect the people of Oju LG and
he should courageously come out and write about those things rather than heat
up the polity with character assassination like he has done to Hon Nick
Eworo,as his display does not show any interest of the Igede man.
Adding to the fact that
Ajoma who is also one of the person that Okalibo had accused of benefiting from
the largeese had yesterday openly challenged him to come forth with evidence if
he is sure.
Further revelations
show that Ogor Andrew had taken to his social media wall to say;
OGOR IDAH ANDREW has
posted below for doubt check his timeline Ogor bright Ogor
“My
attention have been drawn to the social media war between some contending
parties, i want to use this opportunity to notify my well wishers to disregard
any form of information using my name as a bench mark to discredit Hon. Nick
Eworo of duping me of the sum of 2 million naira, i hereby refused to be use as
an agent of confusion or as a tool of propaganda , i therefore urge my teaming
supporters to beware, steadfast and watchful in reacting to rumors which is
capable of bringing people's integrity to a disarray. I comrade Ogor Andrew
Idah hereby distance myself from such rumors peddling . i wish longevity to
Igede Nation and long life Benue State.that he did not pay any of such cash to
Nick Eworo”.
Meanwhile the media aid
to Hon Nick, Mr Andyson Iji has also debunked the claim that his Boss was
involved in such a financial transaction with Ogor Andrew. More details coming soon.
