Two
powerful groups, the South East Professionals and the League of Patriotic
Youths have lashed out at former governor Ambode’s critics telling them to mind
their business. In an unprecedented move, the group spoke through their leaders
at different occasions on Monday following the latest attempt through a
newspaper publication to disparage the hard earned reputation of Mr Ambode. Addressing reporters while on his way to Lagos,
Mr Kenneth Okoh lambasted the faceless group of Eko Heritage for want of
nothing to do. Said he: “there are more important State matters that demand
urgent attention; Ambode is not an issue and will never be.” Mr Okoh stated
that the former governor in terms of performance in office excelled and people
should be praising him instead of trying to disparage him.” “This is unfair and
should be condemned by all peace loving people; we want to build democracy,
this is not the way to go about it”, he said. In his own remarks, Comrade Jude
Adeniyi lambasted the latest strategy to rubbish Mr Ambode’s name as foul play
and dirty politics. He spoke to reporters in our newsroom. “We all saw how this
man performed while in office; just because a few charlatans are bent on
disgracing him, they are spending illicit money to campaign against a complete
gentleman:” he charged. “But this wrong to take out two full pages in a
newspaper to rubbish somebody; there are better ways to settle discord. Nigeria
is a decent society and more so as Ambode belongs to the ruling All Progressive
Congress; whoever is against him should be mindful of the biblical Saul and
David story”. Comrade Jude warned that when you think you can crush an “ant”
watch out for surprises.
