Sen. Frank Ibezim: Imo North and race against time.

Image
A refined journalist, Tony Iwuoma has this view to share on the state of Okigwe zone and representation.  When great things are about to happen, the devil always resists them. That is why the darkest hour comes before dawn. Nevertheless, no hand is big enough to cover the sun, and so the dawn berths, splashing its light over the earth regardless of the antics of the devil. Such was the case with Imo North over a year ago when the jostle for who would replace the late Senator Benjamin Uwajumogu, representing Imo North in Nigeria’s Senate, began. The announcement of a by-election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stirred a fierce and bitter contest among contenders right from the party primaries.

Thus, we are far from development because our leaders are doomed with showers of praise and lies. A Personal Assistant, Minister, Commissioner etc, job description is lowered to praise singing and lies to their Officers. It is now a norm that, if you fail to do so, you are sacked. Agụrụ juru n'obodo will make another to take the position and do it more than devil. It is obvious that the presidency are leaving the source to chase shadow, which pose a big blow of irresponsibility. Okay, are the youths in school or street? Doing what in the street? Has the presidency taken time to analyze this small matter? Please my people, help me point out a problem this presidency has been able to solve since 2015! ...
