It is my usual style to trek where even Satan is afraid to thread on, so I don’t care whose pair of shoe is stained but the truth must be recorded.
In Igala land, killing is normal. We didn’t record any death in Buhari’s village neither in Atiku’s village but the Igalas were busy killing themselves.
About four or five retired Army chiefs are from Igala land but they could not come together to curtail the situation. I am bold to appreciate the Yoruba in the Western Kogi who came together irrespective of their political affiliation and ensured that no bullet was utilized on the D-Day and they had a peaceful election in their district. Both the APC, PDP, ADC, APGA and other political parties in Kogi East, to me, are all guilty of the mess. The youths are dying and the leaders are watching.
State election is around the corner……. if they like, they should kill and set their dead bodies ablaze or burn themselves….. no one cares anymore. It is normal.
To my friends, if you join the league of carrying arms and you’re killed, take note, I will not attend your burial. As for me, no one will attack me for no reason since I am not planning attack on anyone. So be rest assured that I will remain safe. Join me and let’s all be safe.
For those online youths running for their lives. Stop running and check yourself. Stop hate speech. No one will haunt you if you’re clean in your presentations. It’s a matter of balancing your reports. If you don’t have the gift of news reporting, you could look for KEKENAPE to keep you busy. Not every body is gifted to write. Those haunting you are not mad, they are only angry at you.
Furthermore, I am surprised reading from my fellow party (PDP) members blaming the APC for doctoring the results of the presidential and national Assembly elections. Where were they? Do you just vote and go home without follow ups? Do you expect a sitting government to ‘fuck-up’?
The perceived rigging in the state took place majorly in Igala land-Kogi east (not West. not in Central) and it is the same Igalas that will tell you “Bello Must Go in 2019”. Go where? The same Igalas will be preaching in public joints that we will ‘show pepper’ to the Chief of Staff Edward Onoja in this election. Why is the pepper scratching them now and not Onoja?
Which PDP member does not know how to manipulate election result? Is PDP new to rigging? Are we not the ‘fathers’ of rigging? So how come we where taken by surprise and still complaining? Why was resources given to wrong hands?
While APC leaders was busy identifying those that could do the job, PDP leaders were busy anointing their friends across the local government areas and abandoned the ‘guys’. There was just no efforts by people who should handle the situation… Those that have the zeal to make follow up where not given the encouragement. Those that were empowered went away with the resources in usual PDP style and some of them even assisted the APC ….and they are the ones complaining most. Why bothered any more?
People who win elections in Nigeria are not those who pays full salaries neither are they, those that are popular. Winners emerge from brain work not body work.
I have resolved not to take some Igala very serious when it comes to politics. They will brag as if they have the whole world and when the world open its teeth, they will run. Thus, no matter what happens. No matter how some Igalas continue to kill the party in Kogi east, I will remain in PDP.
