You see, I have played opposition politics for a little below a decade of my political expedition and I know when the odds are uneven and tilted against me politically. As we match down to November 8 all known and unknown forces/factors are united against the Ukachukwu/Ekwunife political anomaly.
For the first time in nascent history of the APC a campaign flagoff was launched just seven (7) days to the actual election. This is followed by other firsts including;
— That both Mr President and his Vice were glaringly absent at such a consequential outing.
— Governors of the party avoided the event as though it amounted to an “anti-party” activity to offer even a goodwill messages let alone attend such an important event.
— Dr Chris Ngige — a foundation member of the party in the State was not seen anywhere around the venue.
— No serving Minister, No serving Senator or even former Senator on the platform of the party attended.
If these signs mean nothing to observers, the “neither here nor there” speeches of both Senator Godswill Akpabio and Gov. Hope Uzodimma was more than enough clarity. It was simply a “no news” affair for Journalists.
For the new APC Chairman, he had to promise the impossible just for placebo.
Yesterday was a loud vote of NO confidence on Ukachukwu and Ekwunife. And if I were in their shoes, I would waste no further time or resources on an ambition “brought in dead”!
