The last is yet to be heard on the engulfing blunders that pervades everything as it concerns the unnecessary and unfortunate self organised reception of Nsima Ekere, a regrettably sparsely attended event.
Its no more news that AkwaIbomites rose to the occasion in condemning the salient demeaning attitude of the office of the governor by "His Excellency" Nsima Ekere through conscious vetting and approval of his programme of event.
We are not in doubt that Nsima Ekere funded the event from accrueable funds as privileged MD of NDDC just to seek cheap campaign strategy for his intemperate desire for the gubernatorial office come 2019,but like its often said in our Ibibio parlance;
"When the gods wants to punish a proud young lad,they give him important visitors".
Nsima Ekere's unnecessary and avoidable reception instead of being a blessing has turned around to be a regrettable curse. I wonder if he can sleep sound and well as he has a lot of explanation to make across board.
A certain Hon Akpan Micah Umoh has unwittingly attempted to bear the burden of the whole saga claiming to be Chairman of the laughable event and he even ascribed a PhD(Push him down) to his name. He would have done better by letting us know his field of expertise because from all indication his PhD has caused more harm to Nsima Ekere than the lack of it.
Mr PhD,as directed by Nsima Ekere and team attempted in a frustrated and uncoordinated rebuttal to wrangle the Honourable Commissioner(HC) for Information and Strategy; Mr Charles Udoh into their mess by claiming the HC had given a press release berating them for their enormous mess on the omission of the governor's due protocol appellation and use of the unofficial and unapproved portrait of the governor in their substandard program of event.
A careful search on the new media,print and electronic media shows the HC had never even bothered to join issues with these busybodies, thus their claim that the HC for Information and Strategy joined issues with them on behalf of the Akwa Ibom State Government speaks volume of Nsima Ekere and team's intent to keep on fanning embers of acrimony despite effort by the Akwa Ibom State Government to work harmoniously with all sons daughters of this great state while shunning all biases of partisanship.
"We followed his(Nsima Ekere's) instructions to the letter" -Hon Akpan Micah Umoh PhD.
Its worth noting in the words of the Chairman planning committee of the cursed event that Nsima Ekere gave instruction(s) which they followed to the letter. Nothing happened at the event without Nsima Ekere's consent. A closer look into some of those unfortunate instructions has sent this desperado cap in hand seeking for unavailable soft landing in public court:
1) Nsima Ekere explicitly gave Instructions that he alone be addressed as His Excellency on the program.
2) Nsima Ekere gave instructions that The Acting President; Prof Osinbajo be recognized as Vice President instead.
3) Nsima Ekere gave instructions on which portrait to use of the governor.
Edemeya clan could not have afforded the wastage on a poorly attended reception, so we can conclude with all sense of modesty that Nsima Ekere paid the Piper thus he detected the tune. Blaming the printer is childish, a complete show of the ostrich strategy in the face of truth.
Pride they say goes before a fall,since Nsima Ekere could not acknowledge Prof Osinbajo as Acting President, who are we to complain about his mistreatment of a sacred office which he blindly seeks to occupy?, the gods are watching and have PUSHED HIM DOWN, yet he does not know.
