Media warning against any axe grinding with a leader of excellence, Egede Lawrence writes.
I humbly plead that my readers bear with me in this report, for the fact that some writers like me reveal what bothers them.
In this report I want to do away with the piles of loads upon my head and heart, that some of my friends and foes produced.
I don't want anybody to thank me, or cajole my way of saying things exactly how they happened.
The topic raised here is to me very important to curtail some excesses of contrary opinions.
Is it not too late to fight a war of gross injustice against a person who has got no skeleton in his cupboard, nor an axe to grind with anybody? Won't it be in futility?
I pity those who for the reasons best known to them won't stop beating about the bush, where even grass doesn't exist, not to talk of finding a bush, or trees to cut down with the use of an Axe. Is it proper to fool around?
Who says that Governor Umahi is not a super brave champion, holding out a sceptre of love to defeat his adversaries, who will not rest until they are defeated by their folies in wrongdoings?
The greatest weapon of war to eliminate enemies are weapons of love, which averts forever the attacks from different quarters of injustice, bitterness, hatred and all other warring factors.
It is in Ebonyi State I got the knowledge that opposition in politics is real and not a joke.
I mistook playing LUDO games for playing politics, thinking that it is the same ten and ten pence of playing the normal method of sportsmanship, in the field of play like football, squash, tennis and all other sports activities.
I didn't know that politics will be taken to an obnoxious height of a do-or-die affair, making it awful in one way or the other for a kill against fellow political players.
At times, I am persuaded to act in defiance of those, whose way of propaganda is to go against someone that didn't commit an offence, where no Axe grinding is proper and can't also prosper.
Will it be fruitful for me to act in favour of those whose stock in trade is to wish others a failure?
In case those traders of the awful stock, succeeded in persuading me to act at their dictates, will it not spell doom to all of us both as rats and lizards going under a rainfall? If I am a rat what will be my fate after the downpour?
I think I have grown up enough to check my footsteps, whether going under the rain together in the company of rats and lizards will save me from drenching to dryness, after the downpour.
I don't need political fellowship with those that would want me to derail from my true principle.
I hate unfriendly opposition in politics because civilization is absent in the game.
How can I play politics with my integrity, dignity, principle, life, love and care in Axe grinding in the name of opposition against an innocent soul created by the Almighty God, just because I'm at variance with that person?
To me, it is hellbound to misfire and miss the target of justice in a battle with nothing good to be justified, for throwing tantrums at those who didn't offend me.
Even if one offends or offended me I hate to call people names but can make my observations known for a better disposition.
The reason behind this writeup is that people come to me and ask how much I earn, by giving my good impressions about the regime of Governor Umahi as if I have been hypnotized by him.
Such opposers are no more on talking terms with me, but they can't force a horse into a drinking water pool to quench her thirst.
I think I should have a good report to give my children all the time, without wrinkles and blame and blemish.
The fact remains that it is too late to grind any Axe now against Governor David Umahi, not even to raise an eyebrow against him no matter how the tempest may rage. It's not necessary.
To God is the glory forever.
