Concert of fools in their paradise

BY IME MBATESSIEN

Recently, the impoverished and  oppressed people of Akwa-Ibom State were entertained with shameful struggle over the choice of the Speaker of the House of Assembly.  

The battle line was between those loyal to the just expired emperor and looter of the people’s commonwealth Mr. Godswill O. Akpabio and those whose loyalties were in doubt.  

The House itself is divided along the cult groups and the contest is geared towards the possibility of producing an Acting Governor when the fraud and terrorism of April 11 in the State is thrown to the Dust Bin by the Election Tribunals now sitting.

That Acting Governor would be in a position to use public fund to prosecute another fraud to put themselves in power again. Already they Milky Mouse Puppet Governor, Udom Emmanuel is already boosting that he had no problem so long as those men sitting in the tribunal have both blood and flesh flowing in them, sounds familiar.

The truth of the matter is that the head fool himself who stole our elephant will neither hide nor escape the hook of the National Assembly Election Tribunal and, in addition, the new regime of change now in Nigeria will soon swallow him and his clique.

The Governorship/House of Assembly Elections were simultaneous and that is what the tribunal is sitting over.  In other words, they should die together without a survivor.  With this reality on ground, the whole exercise in Akwa Ibom State represents a vivid picture of fools in their paradise.
