ANWUKAH MINISTERIAL NOMINATION--THE FIZZLING AWAY OF THE WHEELBARROW MEN---Kelvin Nwaka

The pushing of a wheelbarrow by any means does not require special skills or imagination. It is not a rocket science and therefore so simple that almost anybody including nursery school children can move it from one point to another. The story is however not same when you compare it with other machines such as bicycle or tricycle. If you are to ride a bicycle for instance, you must spent alot of time mastering how to climb it.

Those who have gone to the Senate with petition, requesting for the disqualification of the presidential nomination of Prof Anthony Anwukah as a Minister of Federal Republic must have not done their homework very well. They were so unprofessional, pedestrian and petty in their prayers to the Senate such that it was not too difficult to liken them to the wheelbarrow men.

The embattled Senator Representing Imo North, Mr. Nneji Achonu Athanasius whose election victory was recently dismissed at the tribunal had earlier in the week presented to the Leadership of Senate a petition in which he had prayed for the disqualification of Professor Anthony Anwukah as Minister. In his submissions, Mr. Nneji had alleged that:

1) Prof. Anthony Anwukah was indicted towards the end of his tenure as the Vice Chancellor of Imo State University and therefore should be disqualify to hold the exalted position;

2) That he( Prof A.G Anwukah) rejected a 406 Prestige saloon car which he was meant to collect at the end of his tenure but instead went home with a bus--notwithstanding that the bus was of a lesser monetary value;

3) That he (Prof A.G Anwukah) awarded a contract of Eight Hundred Thousand Naira (N800,000) without the approval of the university authority and;

4) That he (Prof A.G Anwuka) has an In-lawship relationship with the incumbent Governor of Imo state and as such should not be nominated by PMB to hold a ministerial port folio.

The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions charged with the responsibility of reviewing petitions, had on yesterday Wednesday October 21, 2015 sat in the Red Chamber the National Assembly with the intent of looking into the merits of the petition against the nomination of Prof Anwukah. The Panel chaired by Senator Samuel Anyanwu (Sam Daddy) Representing lmo East had started the proceedings by introducing his members. Thereafter, Senator Nneji Achonu, the petitioner was called upon to take his seat but he was nowhere to be found. Senator Sam Anyanwu had expressed disappointment over the absence of the petitioner who was needed to come and substantiate his case; for it is he who asserts, that must prove. Nevertheless, Prof A.G Anwukah who had already occupied his seat, was called upon to offer his defense of which he did creditably.

If the event yesterday at the Senate is anything to go by then, the successful screening of Prof. Anthony Anwukah is a fait accompli. The inability of the detractors of the erudite Professor to advance and substantiate their allegations in the nick of time reminds all of us of the biblical injunction, "Because their gathering was not of the Lord, and even though they have approached through one entrance, in several ways, they shall scatter"

King Balak had requested prophet Balaam to curse the Children of Israel. At the end Balaam had uttered these words:
"Water shall flow from his branches, and his seed shall be in many waters; and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. God who brought him forth out of Egypt is for him like the lofty horns of the wild-ox; he shall eat up the nations that are his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, and cursed be every one that curseth thee"
