Val Ozigbo Should Be Talking To A Therapist, Not The Press

MAZI EJIMOFOR OPARA 

Valentine Ozigbo is suffering from midlife crisis, he needs to see a therapist and not the Press.

I read his uninspiring interview with the Press yesterday, and all he said were just two things. First, that he was unimpressed with Soludo’s two years in office. To this, I expected to read what he would have done differently in two years or why he was not impressed. Then the next thing I read was that he would do just one term in office and, according to him, Peter Obi knows this. What a man! He probably thinks saying this confers any advantage to his spineless ambition.

This is not the quality of mind I should be engaging for any reason. Val is obviously jobless and is currently in dire need of empowerment. I would recommend he applies for Soludo’s “one youth two skill program”, as he is well within the age for such active engagement.

If Val is not impressed at the transformation of Okpoko and Fegge, then he has no reason to ever wish to get the support of these million of urban poor now rescued by Soludo. If he is not impressed with the changing outlook of Awka, he has no reason to contemplate going to Agu-awka. If he is not impressed with the massive employment of teachers and health workers, he is probably a sadist. If he is not impressed with Anambra’s rising profile as a fiscally responsible State, then he should focus on his “pimping” and night club business and forget governance or public service.

Val should come up with the issues with facts and figures, I challenge him to a debate on television and would be glad to have him tell the world how deeply ignorant and aloof he is.
