Abians should stop panicking. Nobody will rig 2023 Elections in this State, starting from the forthcoming party primaries.
The 2023 elections will come up with plethora of surprises. Even the acclaimed strongest man or woman will woefully fail 2023 Elections in his/her Polling Unit.
The contemporary electoral process in Nigeria has witnessed appreciable reformation. Thus, power is gradually returning to the people.
Indeed, tremendous successes recently recorded in some States around us, will obviously be replicated in Abia State in 2023.
We are currently engaged in serious political re-engineering, specifically to change the psyche of the electorates in Abia State. This project is ongoing. Pen has not ceased and will definitely not cease to be mightier than sword.
For the avoidance of doubt, Chinese Development we all applaud today is traceable to the works and writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel (read or watch Documentary on Chinese Development).
In Abia State, we still have good and well trained Political Scientists/Political Thinkers/ Writers like Marx and Friedrich Engel. They loom large around us, but may not have been properly conscientized and effectively mobilized.
If properly coordinated, their writings and ideological persuasions are capable of changing the psyche of our people, improve quality of governance and bring about desired/much clamoured Development in Abia State.
Such writers do not fear anyone or possible incarnation in Prisons.
Thus, putting them in prisons further exposed them to more radical postulations and theorization capable of cushioning the pace of Development in the State(Read Communist Manifesto by Friedrich Engel and Karl Marx for more details).
In the main, our point of departure is first, to inculcate in the minds of the electorates/voters that the maxim that “Might is Right”, is no longer tenable and should be completely jettisoned.
Hence, voting an acclaimed strong man or woman without ‘BRAINS is no longer tenable, even in many States around us. Therefore, this obscure and primitive mindset should be dismissed.
We are committed to letting our people to understand that the strategy most States and Countries around the world adopted to accelerate the pace of DEVELOPMENT and bettered their destinies is the ‘BRAIN STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK’ and not MIGHT-IS-RIGHT PERCEPTION or ‘RED EYES or FROG-EYE VIEW’ anti-critical thoughts/ methodological orientation.
We cannot be complaining of our poor conditions as a people and still make mistakes by electing criminals, -red-eye’ persons, touts, thugs and persons without integrity/credibility/no track record of appreciable success even in their personal undertakings/businesses.
However, such persons who foolishly believe in the dictum that Might is Right, has no business in Democratic Governance and should be rejected by the electorates starting from the party primaries in Abia State.
Those with criminal records in their villages/communities, those whose contributions to community development is the elimination of fearless/dissenting voices in their areas, and those who clandestinely engage/sponsor criminal/anti-human activities such as kidnapping, armed robbery, ritual killings, communal clashes, 419, Yahoo/Yahoo Plus, illegal businesses; who may be warming up to represent our people at any level should be stopped; starting from the forthcoming Party Primaries in Abia State.
The destiny of our people is going to lie in the hands of Party Delegates in the forthcoming Party Primaries. No Delegate/ Voter should complain after deliberately undermined Development and Destiny of our people via the instrumentality of hs/her THUMBPRINT.
DON’T USE YOUR THUMBPRINT TO DESTROY OUR DESTINY!
I, therefore, appeal once again to everyone to share this communication to all Social Media Platforms, all Party Delegates, Party Stakeholders, Religious Leaders, Traditional Rulers, Youth Leaders, Women Leaders, Village Heads, Opinion Leaders, among others, within his/her domain.
You can print this communication and distribute in Public Places across the 17 LGAs of Abia State, if you have resources to do this.
Please note that this is the first strategy to transform our society(changing the mindset/perception of the people, for whom Democratic Governance was designed to serve).
MIGHT IS NO LONGER RIGHT, but BRAIN, INTEGRITY, CREDIBILITY, TRACK RECORDS anchored on evidence-based PERFORMANCE and UNQUESTIONABLE CHARACTER with GENUINE CREDENTIALS, are currently RIGHT.
The above critical concepts will ultimately result in desired Development in our villages/communities in Abia State.
All typos are regretted!
Thanks and God bless you all.
