And The Controversies Against Senator Aziz Zego Rages On Before I proceed, let me take the controversies as well as the responses before I take a position. GGCM, Im afraid the position of Zego will increasingly become indefensible if he maintains this silence about what happened to the mandate he was given and how he handled it from the declaration to the primaries. Question 1: What did he do after the declaration to secure the Headstart? Reply: He swung into action immediately by mobilising his support base reaching out to PDP at the national level, but Goje and Zamani Lekwot had scuttled that move. Tony Anenih gave him and a coterie of elders from SK a shabby treatment due to the treachery of the treacherous trio. Question 2: What networking did he do among SK stakeholders to solidify the position and penetrate the SK PDP with such advantage? Reply: Hyet and Goje had stood in the way and all overtures on em including Col. Kachim kneeling before Goje proved abortive and couldnt have worked because they all had interest to protect with Namadi. Question 3: At the primaries, what mechanisms did he put in place to ensure that he reach out to the delegates (irrespective of any intimidation and/or compromise), and to put up a gallant fight to the finish? Reply: All mechanism humanely possible were put in place with massive disembursement of fund, but it didnt work in a divided house. The delegates were all threatened as well as disenfranchised by the Namadi led PDP. The only delegates allowed to enter the venue were those conveyed in a Namadi indoctrinated bus. When some delegates tried to circumvent the bus, they were accosted by a certain soldier of the rank of colonel and turned back. Question 4: How did he confront or otherwise deal with the perceived plot at the venue of the primaries? Reply: He went to the primary and waited hours before the arrival of the party officials and was intimated of the plot to leave him with a single vote by his bearer. He met the returning officer to lodge a complain but was told that over eighty percent of Nigerians are illiterate and because they dont want anybody disenfranchised, they intend to write for all those who cant write. Hahaha, very funny. None but six persons, Zego inclusive who cast their votes on their own accord. Even the deputy governor Bajoga entered there claiming not to have finished nursery school and thus need someone to help him write Question 5: What protests has he registered if there were irregularities? Reply: His refusal to register protest is calculated. His silence is strategic. If I divulge this strategy here, it wont be strategic any more. Moreso, we will soon come up with a position. Question 6: Yakawada has issued a statement regarding his withdrawal as published by Jerry Adams, what explanation has he issued publicly? And what explanation has he given to the eminent personalities who identified with the declaration and made contributions? Are they satisfied with his explanation? Reply: As you read this, I am presently in Kafanchan sleeping over at the guest house room 109 after taken a dinner of wheat, okro soup and chicken. Mamman and Dung who were eye witnesses narrated all that transpired during the controversial PDP primaries at the instance of the senator. I will spare myself the rigours of being meticulous here, but I dare say their explanation is 90% satisfactory. What happened to the ten? They are only humans too. Question 7: In the absence of publicly and clear issuing a statement, we the ignorant public would be left with no option but to make logical deductions and conclusions, and please bear in mind that the public is not wholly logical in so doing, and the more the silence, the worst. I hope you could see from this perspective. We need to know how extensive the betrayal of the SK cause goes. - Dr. Kajit John Paul Reply: Yes I catch your thrift doctor. We know people will talk, but what can we do, but what we are doing. About 1009 delegates were supposed to vote, but 972 did. What happened to the excess of 37 delegates? Easy, they left when it was obvious that there wont be fair play in the whole process. People get discouraged with the one vote, but I see hope in the one vote and despair on their side. He who laugh last... Buy a copy of daily trust tomorrow or next and find Azizs response therein. Thank you.
