Now, Let Me Air My View About Amaechi's Ministerial Quest.. by 175(m): 1:11pm On Oct 29, 2015 |
Correct me if I am wrong, from 1999 to date which two term governor EVER hustled like an upstart politician to become a minister? The only one I know of that joined the presidency was an ex-deputy governor who became a chief of staff. A very high position that ministers kowtow to. Rivers state is about the richest state in Nigeria. A forward thinking, ambitious politician who knows his onus will use such a position,as two term governor of such a state, to consolidate and become a kingmaker and a godfather to be reckoned with, like Tinubu did. Amaechi is neither smart nor ambitious. What is currently happening is like the ex-CEO of a fortune 500 company running from pillar to post to be made a branch manager of another company in a backwater town. The height of humiliation and a fall from grace. When he is eventually employed, it would not be an achievement for him, but a confirmation of his new lesser status; a demotion. Amaechi's present situation buttresses the servant mentality that many from my region have. He grovels and begs to be accepted into the inner circle of his overlords. He practically sold his people's commonwealth and brought it as a gesture of his fealty to his master's feet. But still it is not enough for him to be accepted to the round-table where his lords dine. At best it buys him the title of faithful servant, fit to run errands for his king and go around town as the towncrier/ noisemaker. I have seen kings walk, while servants ride on horses..I am also seeing a houseboy become a king and fights tooth and nail to become a houseboy yet again. . . Kingsley Iriogbe |
