“Anything Against The People’s Will, Fails. Prince Otu’s Government Will Be People-driven And Productive.”

We must seek first the face of the Lord in the dictates of its ordinances before we ever embarked on any venture to avoid our going against the will of the Lord our God and the minds of the people through whom the Holy Spirit dins the decision of the Holy Ghost in the void to their spirits what’s about to happen in the course of our endeavors. Otherwise, all our efforts at that shall be in vain.

Man is God to man. No human has ever seen the Lord of Host and none would.

Honestly, I am shocked to see the latest display of Senator Owan Enoh’s postal and the write-up which followed on social media with his approval stating the next hearing in the case he instituted against the APC gubernatorial candidate of Cross river state, Senator Prince Bassey Otu.

I do not know what all these shows of indifference for one within the same party are tantamount to or where they will lead us, where John, the man at the center of it all, and his group are dragging over an ill-motivated complaint where they’re hoping to get judgment I doubt shall ever come nor be in their favor.

Ordinarily , I would have just ignored what was going on in Owan Enoh’s camp against the party’s candidate, Prince Bassey Otu, and awaited the outcome of the ill-fated misadventure.

But because from the inception of our movement in support of Prince Otu’s candidacy, it has been my sincere belief as the most outspoken person in the group that ran a consistent campaign on social media to propagate Otu’s candidacy, I was cocksure that the pairs of the two former Senators in APC both of who, as old members together, sustained the party from imminent implosion that would have occurred as a result of the perpetual rift that bedeviled it, before the decamping of the present state Governor and a handful of those who accompanied him from PDP to join us.

These were the perfect move I thought we needed to give us victory over the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Catapillar movement of Senator Sandy Ojang Onor, which I equally predicted would be the pair we’ll eventually meet on the other side in the contest of who to succeed the current outgoing Governor. With the prevailing development that is circumventing another experience altogether, I have to make some clarifications here thereto.

For the benefit of those who do not know what Owan Enoh went to court for, he is claiming that the candidate of our great party, the All Progressive Congress, APC in cross river state, Prince Bassey Otu who defeated him with a large margin at the last gubernatorial primaries where three of them contested, namely Prince Otu, Senator Owan Enoh and chief Chris Agara, did not have the same clearance letter the two of them had from the screening committee whom the party-appointed Adhoc to carry out such exercises, whereas the eventual winner of the primaries had a clearance given to him by the party National organizing Secretary, who’s duties is it to do so.

His quarrel however with the whole arrangement is that, since the clearance letter Prince had, from the party, after all, didn’t come from the committee proper, and so he feels the actual winner of the contest should be disqualified by the courts for him to be declared the winner on the bases of that minor discrepancy even where he didn’t win the primaries and the said winner’s name as we speak, has been sent and duly received by INEC by the same party who’s a procedure he now shows contempt. These are the grievances. Nothing other than that.

I am still at a loss what is it that is behind the compunction of Owan, certainly not what I have enumerated, that have taken to this horrible extent still in pursuit of schemes which are negative in all their aims and purposes? This is no more politics for me. This is vendetta.

No one would tolerate this type of activity where we were supposed to be forging ahead on how to position people for an effective campaign arrangement in a few months but one of us is busy instigating rancor. For God’s sake, I am not amused by these improprieties continuing unabatedly.

By the way, the question to ask here as a layman and not from a lawyer, which I am not if I am permitted is this:

(1). Was Owan Enoh who is the candidate in an election, the rightful person to question what the party who has now finally given clearance to its candidate as it does generally to all who were successful in the said contest in which John duly participated to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as her candidate in the overall elections whom the said, committee-members Owan is now referring to, of refusing to issue clearance letters to Prince Otu, as they should, warranting his participation in the contest, the ones to question why Prince, whom they never gave clearance by those the authority vested on but were rather undermined by another body whom they’re told gave Prince clearance to run?

Conversely, the second question; No. (2).

Is it Owan Enoh, and not the party, who was to question the validity or otherwise of the clearance given to Prince Otu to enable him to take part in the primaries by either of the two sources who did issue the authorizations from the party as they both did in the circumstance when none of the candidates have the right to give any interpretation to either of the clearances or whoever the party chooses to use in issuing out any order as it deemed fit, and to whomsoever, it cares to engaged at any given time in the process, as contains in the party constitution? Could this flexible administrative procedure of the party be challenged by anyone as Owan craves to do?

If that is not so, by the way, where then is Owan getting his authority or should be getting the authority to question whatever clearance is given to anybody on behalf of the party between the Party Secretary and those who were the original persons authorized to do so according to John since that is not his business whether or not he participated in the primaries in question?

Incidentally, the two parties, of clearance issuers, except Owan is the only person talking on this matter to date.

The two have both not issued any statement invalidating each other’s clearance letters, to substantiate Owan’s claims, where then is he going to draw his strength and evidence from or the backing to pursue the matter given the reluctance of those he has mentioned discrediting themselves over each authority to issue clearances which are regarded as being the genuine one.

As it stands, none of the issuers of the two clearance letters had complained about the issue?

Where is John in this case getting his substance to sue Prince Otu, from, when those he is accusing rightly or wrongly, didn’t say anything nor did they disqualify Prince Otu to date. I wonder how such logic would fly.

We shall have no choice but to defend the party’s candidate at this stage. It’s a bunch of distractions.

I regarded Owan as one who kept the party alive, just like Prince Otu did, and whose interest should not be brushed aside for any reason, no matter what happens and I thought I was doing my friend and brother, Owan a favor by being in his defense over what he was being accused of against the candidate of Prince Otu, but now I know that I was backing someone who has made up his mind to destroy our candidate, one whom I see in him, sincerity, broad-mindedness with a disposition that is people-driven.

Prince Bassey Otu truly represents what the people desire to happen to the state. His is not a matter of propaganda, he truly is a nice man agreeable to all those who have had encounters with him.

His Government sure would be people-driven and productive. And that is why we jointly worked for the project to succeed from its inception and shall not relent in our efforts in the areas of our competencies and devotion.

In my last publication, I was trying to throw light on why I thought Owan should be approached and persuaded to come on board as Prince Otu’s running mate in all sincerity, in my innocence.

Because I want us to win the forthcoming Governorship election and go into the election with the decided team, not divided less we fail because I know the danger when those who have special qualities and capacity eager to work, are sidelined for reasons that are excusable the candidate and not those in the party who may have orchestrated such ugly decisions is the one to suffer.

I thought that Prince’s chances of winning should be our main focus than the euphoria that seems to engulf the entire atmosphere by those opportunists who are trying to catch up with the bandwagon, having motives that are biased for purposes of making themselves relevant when in actual sense they may not do much than fidgeting against those with the genuine motive of seeing to the success of the candidate been dislodged through such innuendos and peremptory.

I see Owan as one who would comfortably succeed Prince as Governor after eight years of his leadership in the state, the Lord willing. why not? I do not see any need for such inordinate act which Owan insists on display, for one the Lord has blessed so much at his own time.

I am seeing Owan Enoh in ignorance, fighting tooth and nail to upturned the turn meant for someone whose presence like the Prince, now suitable to be enthroned by the same Lord who lifted him, Owan, at the time it did, brings Otu to serve as a cushioning balm to heal the wounds afflicted on the people by the successive government as a part-finder than to usher him, which was why I was pressing hard and appealing like most other persons did, for him to deputize Prince Otu, for balance, equity and result.

How long is eight years from now, for one who still has age on his side like John? But by what they’re doing, I don’t think Otu himself will be pleased and comfortable with this kind of showing by someone he has no grudge against, this much he has told me, trying to stand on the progress he believes is the will of the Lord for him.

Senator Owan will certainly not succeed on this ugly showing. Except he withdraws the said case still in court. Whatever he is seen doing is suspect if the case still runs its course.

I had all along thought it has been put to rest the moment Prince Otu filled his INEC form and submitted it as the party’s candidate, that matter was closed, all we were to be talking about was who to run as Deputy which was why I was stressing that we needed to have effective coverage in the Central Senatorial District with John and chief Chris Agara as the anchormen.

And I thought such a position should be given to one who has the structure to accomplish that. And I said this with all amount of responsibility as one who has supported a similar contest in like manner during our struggle to have His Excellency, Mr. Donald Duke as Governor and we won.

I thought in all sincerity that since we have both the current Governor, and many heavyweights in the party all in the Northern District, a federal minister in the person of Chief Jeddy Agba, the National Assembly gentlemen including the state party Chairman and others, were to give effective cover there.

We need somebody of note equally at the Central not only of repute but one with a structure capable of withstanding the Peoples Democratic Party, the PDP’s presence at the Districts which was why I was clear and unbiased that John Owan would easily and successfully fulfill that task being a Deputy Governor. That was my reason, pure and straightforward.

Owan is my very good friend, Ejagham’s brother, and so he is to many people. He is a likable and strong-willed believer in what he can do.

He is the junior brother I tern to admire his effort at climbing to the height he has attained so far politically, but all that becoming a liability for allowing all these to get into his head, unfortunately; I think, or someone is misleading him to go astray for their selfish interest. I am not too sure of that.

But I am still confused at seeing this for one as successful as Owan has been in politics, who should rather be giving the Lord thanks and forge ahead, and not get into meaningless fighting.

In the words of Camilla, a man who counseled the people of his city against killing Apostle Paul: “he may be fighting against the Lord’s will if care is not taken”.

I stand for truth. Senator Prince Bassey Otu is not only our candidate, APC candidate but a man I so cherish and regard deeply for the love he exerts.

And he does so for me as well, which is why I am importunate and glued in drumming support for him, as the Director of Media, Publicity, and Propaganda.

We must see to the conclusion of this struggle to enthrone goodness and mercy in the face of unwanted greed and injustices prevalent in the land by unpeopled leadership which often breeds tyranny, against which we must move from, thenceforth to freedom and plenty to reach all who breathe the Lord’s air under it’s Sun and the Moon.
