“The poisonous messages being reeled by Comrade Adam Oshiomole to justify the APC governorship candidate is like a plague from hell”, admits Olorogun Peter Abu, the Secretary-General of South-South Journalists Forum (SSJF) Abuja Chapter. He was speaking to newsmen on Sallah eve in Abuja, on the lack of morality and integrity surrounding the September 19, Edo State governorship elections. “The first casualty is a dearth of visionary leadership in Nigeria”, he began. “The second is that Oshiomole himself is a barrier to civilization”, he stressed. According to him, it is appalling watching and listening to his naked lies painting black white and red-green, meaning that the Edo State governorship elections are already bereft of principles and ideology”. Olorogun is sad that upon the stark reality that the APC governorship candidate has a standing fraud and court case, people still troop out to listen to him. “That is the sad development in our political arena” he stated. “Adams Oshiomole is taking Nigeria’s democracy back to the stone ages and heaping woes on the hapless citizens; he is inventing thorns and shrapnel’s to inflict punishment on the people and the law enforcement agencies’ are looking on; he is without shame peddling falsehood to the shock of the new generation of Nigerians”, lamented Abu. “This man is a barrier to genuine development and a threat to peace and stability”, Olorogun declared, calling on Edo people to resist his evil antics from hell. “He wants to engulf the State in political crisis; he wants to make the people paranoid and jittery so that he can reclaim the treasury”, Abu stated revealing that to be his ultimate ambition—not the welfare of the people. Olorogun then warns that if nothing is done to curtail him, the backlash would be too severe to contend with. “We are seeing a wicked adversary and we are tolerating him; this man is displaying blasphemy and we are looking on; the next stage would be xenophobia the type we had in South Africa where brothers would rise against brothers”, charged Olorogun Abu. He then enjoined the Edo people to collectively and jointly force him out of politics by dealing a heavy blow against him in the forthcoming elections. Olorogun reminded Edo people that even Pharaoh at a time when the fire was too much against him, capitulated and freed the Israelites. “Oshiomole retired the late Anenih; this is the time for him to be retired compulsorily”, he declared. Nevertheless, the record holds that since Oshiomole’s entrance into Nigeria’s politics, the only language familiar to him is crude deception. In his Labour days, he would dribble Nigerians to the brink of demonstrations only for him to deftly rescind after receiving gratification overnight. “He sees himself as the Pontius Pilate of our time forgetting the fate that befell him”, disclosed Olorogun. Suddenly, it is now obvious that the APC government is just a charade and without character, integrity and morality. It is also clear that the APC government for condoning Oshiomole and allowing him to campaign has nothing to offer Nigerians. “No wonder the spate of killings, rape, banditry and terrorism that has engulfed the nation”, lamented Olorogun. He said, referring to the Chinese government, that you could see houses built on top rocks, bridges constructed across difficult terrains; but here, all the APC government has to offer is how to borrow, borrow and borrow. But the good news according to Olorogun is that just like all the wild beast, Leviathan, Satan and his cohorts were defeated in the Bible, so also Oshiomole would be defeated in this elections. “There is no escape for him; he may be bigger than the people because he sees himself as above the law; but he is not bigger than God”, decried Abu.
