When Silent Akpakomiza Talks
...for sure, Edo does not need a borrowed governor
By: Oriaifoh Godwins
In one of my submissions on the person of Senator Monday Okpebholo, aka Akpakomiza, I mentioned that he seldom talks, but when he does, he ensures he fulfil every statement he makes, his words are his bonds. Little wonder therefore, when the silent Akpakomiza talks, it sends shivers down the spines of talkertive opponents that have nothing but blabbing and scamming to show.
People that talk too much but do nothing, must be avoided by all means, because such people are capable of misleading others and also drawing others' hands of progress backwards; but Senator Monday Okpebholo is not such a person, as he works his talks; once Senator Monday Okpebholo makes a promise, whoever it may concern, is rest assured that he will definitely make good his promise.
"...When Silent Akpakomiza talks, Edo people listen and take him seriously, as they know him to always work his talks. This is another thing that angers his adversaries..."
What has become very worrisome lately, is the way Akpakomiza's adversaries have been working themselves to frenzy since he pointed out that; "...we don't want a borrowed governor in Edo state..." This statement, definitely hit his adversaries where it mattered most.
Wait a minute, if their conscience is not judging them, that their Esan name bearing, godfather anointed candidate and imposed on them, is truly a "borrowed governor", why should they be bothered? Why is the social media awash over Akpakomiza's harmless and sincere statement? Why are they frantically and assiduously working to whitewash a borrowed and imposed candidate? Akpakomiza's statement that has been giving his adversaries high Blood Pressure, can only point to one fact, they have sensed that the end of their scamming, deceits, fraudulent claims and empty promises, has finally come. They can fool some people sometimes, but they can't fool all the people all the time.
When Silent Akpakomiza talks, Edo people listen and take him seriously, as they know him to always work his talks. This is another thing that angers his adversaries who have been talking for the past close to eight years now, with nothing to show for their talks. Edo people are wiser today.
When Silent Akpakomiza talks, it moves the Federal Government and the authorities concerned, to begin to work on palliative measures to fix the Benin-Auchi road, that has been a death trap over the years, in spite of the fact that, there has been Senators that represented Edo Central before him.
When Silent Akpakomiza talks, it brings forth renewed hope that a new Edo is rising. This wheel if impending progress in Edo state, cannot be reversed by those that have been talking for the past close to eight years now, with nothing but tears, woes, and regrets by the people to show.
