Each time Chief Victor Umeh, who is fond of seeing Peter Obi as an
elixir to his ....... says anything against Obi, I tried as much as I
can to answer him with the aim of clarifying mistakes, correcting
factual details, answering to his objections, felling his “heresies,”et
cetra. For example, when he lied about his first trip overseas, his
first personal car, his role doing Obi’s impeachment, I usually
clarified thus: That his first international passport and trip overseas
were facilitated by Mr. Peter Obi (who paid for everything); that his
first car was bought for him by Obi’s younger brother; that he was
against Obi during the impeachment, but only turned when it appeared to
him that Obi would succeed; that before Obi he was only the driver/PA to
Chief Okonkwo (Ofiadulu); that he had a messy past relating to when he
worked for INNOSON'S brother; that before he met Obi he was living in
smelly, two-room flat paid for him by Ofiadulu (not that we all do not
have our humble beginnings, but the need to acknowledge those that help
us climb the rungs of life), etc
Surprisingly, each time I did
this, the preponderance of views were that I should not reply him.
People see him as a man, who has seen Obi moved so high beyond his
imagination and contrary to their negative plots against him and is
struggling hard and desperately with all the brute, burst energy of an
animal at bay to drag him down where Obi will be doing tru bom tru bom
with him.
Two days ago, he appeared on Face-the-Press programme
of the Anambra State Broadcasting Service, which they are repeating
every day. I learnt Peter Obi and Joe-Martins Uzodike were his only
topic. He was trying to link Obi to what Obi knew nothing about – a
publication in a newspaper. He said on air that Obi was a stupid man he
managed till his tenure ended. He said that Obi was the one who planned
that Gov. Obiano should be pelted with pure water sachets and stones
when he went to Agulu to make uncomplimentary remarks about Obi. He said
that he was the one behind all the policies that made Obi succeed in
Anambra State, including return of schools to their owners. He said
that he was already a billionaire before he met Obi and that he could
not have benefitted anything from Obi.
At the ongoing
electionnering, Obi never mentions Victor’s name, but at every place
Victor use Obi as a cannon folder for his electioneering speeches. They
have even gone ahead to produce another Video on Obi entitled “the
Inconsistencies of a Man” and it is being aired on ABS every 30 Minutes.
They have also approached all the TV stations in the country to air it.
I understand they budgeted over 250 Million for it, including
distributing it free to people.
In fact, his obsession about Obi
has become the madness of Rufus about Naevia. Rufus would not do
anything without mentioning Naevia and if Naevia were not borne, Rufus
would be dumb.
Now, my brothers and Sisters, should I reply him or should I ignore him as you have always advocated?
