Edo2024:The Dialectics of Hypocrisy

By Osazua IVBAZE

For some time now, I have been watching some politicians who climb to mountain tops, roaringly and fiercely demanding fairness and justice in the distribution of political opportunities and openings, while coming back to their subnational level to make dramatic u-turn for self--serving purposes.

For them, power shift/ zoning is needed at the national level to prevent the Northern Nigeria from using the  population weapon to  dominate political power.

However, at State level, these same people bare their hypocritical fangs by excessively seeking to concentrate on  their own professed advantage in pursuit of the  actualization of what they abhor in national politics.

They try to wrap up these contradictions and hypocrisy inherent in this unarguably selfish attitude in  sophistry.

APC, in response to the need to promote equity, allowed power to shift to the South after Buhari's 8 years.
PDP ignored this approach because the party was confident that the North had the population to produce the president without realizing that our diversity demands justice for all.

That's what is playing out in Edo now. We hear what they are saying-- that capacity and competence should count. I agree.
But these attributes can be found in men and women in all the three Senatorial Districts in the State.

My take is that we cannot be promoting what we consider abhorrent and unacceptable at the national level in our own State without being seen as hypocrites.

Attention! Attention!! Attention!!!

After presenting the vehicles, he took them back saying he needed to register them for the party. He REGISTERED the vehicles in the name of a company called ZOPAZ ADVISORY SERVICE, with an address in an apartment flat in 1004 Estate V.I Lagos, as against the name of Labour Party Edo State. ZOPAZ Advisory Service is owned by Olamide Anthony Akpata and Mr Adesola Joshua. Question No 2, amongst the document presented by Mr Akpata for each vehicle, he presented  photocopies of the  vehicles PROOF OF OWNERSHIP and held on to the original copy, Why give everyone the impression that you are gifting the vehicles in good faith in building the party when indeed you have ulterior motives just to sell yourself as wanting to build the party.
