The Sufferers Of Political Imbecility: Oye, Umeh, Iwuala, Maku, And Their Supporters, By Kemka Ibeji

As written by By  Kemka Ibeji

My attention was drawn to some senseless noise made by the drowning cartel of the Anambra Peoples Group of Amateurs (APGA) headed by one Mr. Ikechukwu Oye. In such meaningless gathering of letters titled "Hon. Iwuala Declares KEMKA IBEJI 'a Political Ilitrate', a certain poorly educated little John Iwuala argued in his characteristic and confused pillar-to-post on the reason why Mr. Oye was conspicuously absent during their fake ritual of picking of Expression of Interest Form and Nomination Form by the outgoing Governor of Anambra State HE Willie Obiano.

Yes Willie Obiano is the outgoing Governor of Anambra State as he has chosen to coexist in the dream world and cohabit as such with makers of self-crafted nightmare - creators self-destructive mind atoms. It is a proverbial saying that those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Obiano is sincerely and strongly working on a path of ignominious exit from Agu Awka. I pray he retraces his wrong and bad steps before it gets too late.

Back to the badly constructed kindergarten political logic of the Anambra Peoples Group of Amateurs (APGA) chaired by a suddenly silent Victor Oye!

Those woeful learners started with an advertisement of half-baked education. The grammar of that gang is indeed more than horrible. Let's consider their scarce knowledge as they misspelled the word "ILLITERATE" by writing it as "ILITRATE". That would have been mistaken for pun except that their intellectual capacity is known to be on zero modulation. I will therefore recommend a night school for such group that appointed such writer as their Assistant National Organizing Secretary. What do we expect from such gathering of misfits that boast of a retired Bazaar Chairman as head, a hardly possible or never-to-be Senator who kept selling the good fortunes of APGA to the PDP throughout his tenure as APGA National Chairman as a TV publicity celebrity, annoying grammarians as image makers, and UK based job seekers/suspicious fellows as a unit?

I laughed so hard when I read where they wrote "... Iwuala wondered how a man of sound education and administrative knowledge should expect the National Chairman of a political party to sell and issue nominations to aspirants". You know why this is funny?

It is interesting to read that Mr. Oye and his spaghetti eating followers are feigning learning session on Separation of Power. When did this start that Oye who was shamed and sacked by the NWC Members on the floor of the meeting he convened by himself for abuse of office is now an Apostle of such principle of government. Separation of Power has really suffered!

Before we argue like infants as Iwuala, can Oye or his little John Iwuala tell the world how Earl Osaro Onaiwu picked his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms. What about the Ondo APGA gubernatorial candidate etc. Oh! So they said, after rain comes shine. Maybe the suspension and expulsion have taught Oye and the rest with him what it means for offices to work and function with clarity and independence of positional description. Too late for a position in APGA but useful though. You know they say "no knowledge is a waste". Good for Oye and his friends anyway.

Do we talk of accountability? That's another sad vista to introduce.

The financial information of the party during the kwashiorkor leadership of Mr. Oye was only likeable to the secrecy of occultism. Transparency was a concept of taboo which was proscribed and dismembered from the administrative lexicon of that time. Why did Oye have problems with the NWC Members? What happened to the millions of naira which Obiano was paying for the upkeep of the party administration? Hahaha! Oye, Labaran Maku, and some kites...

Well, it is said that when you take off the biting ant from the suffering dog it is usually best to show same to the victim. Oye, Umeh, Maku, Iwuala and their supporters rightly fell into my snare.

The disqualification of Willie Obiano would have been a bit tasking if Oye was consistently kept inactive. At least the outgoing Governor Obiano would have had a good argument sometime that he never got his nomination form from the sacked Oye led Anambra Peoples Group of Amateurs (APGA).

As soon as they read my articles, they hurriedly dusted him from the dungeon, dressed him up for a cover up. It was really unknown to them that I actually wanted them to go down with Oye. Laughable!

Aren't they sufferers of political imbecility? They truly are!

I laughed again when I saw their pot-bellied ad hoc and emergency TV publicity celebrity doing his outdated rambling.

Victor Umeh needs information, please Oye help your man out! He is so out of fashion.

Argument from ignorance is a known fallacy. I mean, these men ought to know that. Can someone touch Victor Umeh's head to infuse the awareness that Mr. Oye summoned the NWC meeting on which instance he was suspended. By all political and constitutional righteousness, the meeting was lawfully called by the then National Chairman Mr. Ikechukwu Oye himself and was presided over by same Oye. The same meeting formed a quorum. The signature of the attendees are in the public domain and not any secret. None of the signatories is not a member of the NWC. They are the rightful people to be there. The Constitution empowers the NWC to suspend any of its members found wanting in accordance with set out rules of the party.

The party's Constitution stipulates that any other action performed by Mr. Oye any other second after his suspension on that fateful day is null, void, and of no meaning or substance.

If Oye, Labaran Maku, Victor Umeh, little John Iwuala, Willie Obiano and their supporters are law abiding and obey the rule of law, they would not have arrogated to themselves the powers of the Acting National Chairman by going ahead to convene an unlawful and illegal NEC meeting.

Certainly, when the National Chairman or any other member of the NWC is suspended, the NEC has the duty to either ratify it or lift the suspension. But the question is, who is supposed to summon the NEC meeting as the National Chairman was under suspension?

From the day Victor Oye was suspended, Willie Obiano's activities with him have remained outlawed. But since Victor Umeh is a man that eats, drinks and breathes illegality, he is bound to go his customary way.

Do we begin to ask the account of the 2015 election financial activities? I mean the funds raised from sales of forms, the sale out or APGA purchase price paid by the PDP and GEJ? Can we know who and what Victor Umeh was before his coup against the founder of APGA - Chief Chekwas Okorie?

The chickens may have come home to roost. If Victor Umeh is a man of integrity, a man who is not ready to sell his soul for coins, at least he would have remembered how he rose to APGA Chairmanship.

Had the sufferers of political imbecility as appreciated above not been masters of impunity, men of badly woven ambition, and recalcitrants to the rule of law, at least they would have allowed the Acting National Chairman to call the NEC meeting so they can cease the floor to lift the suspension and recall Oye to office. Won't that have been legal enough? They were ambitious on the woeful plain and their sentiments betrayed them. Unfortunate!

As allowed by APGA Constitution, Ochoudo Martin Agbaso was nominated and appointed as Acting Deputy National Chairman under Ozo Nwabueze Okafor by the NWC.

When Ozo Nwabueze Okafor died, the mantle of APGA leadership fell on Ochoudo Martin Agbaso. And as required by the Constitution of APGA and its laws, Ochoudo Martin Agbaso has been ratified by the Special National Convention of APGA on the 11th day of August, 2017 as the substantive National Chairman of APGA.

To God Almighty be the glory.

It is therefore political imbecility to think that Mr. Victor Ike Oye is still the National Chairman of APGA after knowing the facts as enumerated above hence "the sufferers of political imbecility: Oye, Umeh, Iwuala and their supporters."
