UBANESSE IGBEKE, the man behind the mask

Often times, it is not the one who cries the most that bears the most pain. This is as true as there are skies above in the Ubanesse Igbeke and his kinsmen saga.

Alphonsus Ubanesse Igbeke was supposed to be the light that illuminates the whole of Nsugbe, by virtue of his political achievements, which though questionable are nevertheless his. But sadly, that which should be a blessing, turned out to be a curse and the proverbial fly which rests on the scrotum, and there are no easy ways to get it off without considerable pain.

As is common with people who have things to hide, the erstwhile senator ran to the papers to blackmail and insinuate against his kinsmen, and one would wonder why the senator never bothered to go to his hometown to clear his name, but somehow, went to the papers. One may also wonder too why a man’s kinsmen, who are supposed to be his rock to fall on are seemingly against him. Could it be that Ubanesse Igbeke told things different from the truth?

One needs not to wonder, for the truth is like pregnancy, it could only be hidden for a while, but it eventually comes to light.
