My Old man will say "Ana afusia Uzo, waba ofia" (When the Road is broad, no need to wander the Bush).
My Uncle will say "Ife Anacho na Ike Oku, bu Azu "(What one looks for at the bottom of Soup Pot is the Hidden Fish).
Anambara as known has produced the First President of Nigeria in Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, first Senate President in Nwafor Orizu, many first before now and First now in Local Car manufacturer in INNOSON...
So the scent that grace the Air when a Woman wants to right the wrong of Men in Governance is not a slight, it is not tales by Moonlight, it is a quest which may add to other first we have in our Portfolio as Ndi Anambara.
While other state wander the forest of ignorance, we Ndi Anambara embrace the bravity of the Brave and that always make us to be Pacesetters.
Certainly the allusion and illusion of going South and other noises doesn't matter nor count to me in choice of a Leader, but I will put all that into perspective when and in the course of Profiling the AMAZON who I christened "LADY WITH MIDAS TOUCH".
She was Born at Igboukwu in Anambara South that ancient Town that hosted our Bronze and Roped Pot.
Schooled in the Northern part of the state, married to NRI Chieftain, a Town located in Anambara Central, and if we are to make calculation based on Zonal prism, imalugodi na Nwanyi the suited.
She was Born an ANGLICAN, grew up in Pentecostal, married a Catholic and became one by marriage, that also grind the incoming Denominational Mask into place in her Favor.
She is not a Jenny just come, she has being in the system, with the system and for the system, meaning, she doesn't need to be tutored again on this Job.
If she can swim the political Shark infested water from the Get Go, then she can't be confused as ONE of the Aspirants, that should place her on the Table and height of those to be taking serious in Capital Letters.
She can't be learning the act of politics or leadership on the Seat of Governance, she is what can be said "Okwadoro Ofuma".
She did not jump out of oblivion to measure her popularity starting with the GUBER, she started from get go, from scratch and she learn the trade well, she met the good (Dazzle the Good) ,wrestle the bad ( render same cripple) and Played game of Witt with the Damned before she get to where she is.
This can be qualified as tested and proving.
She has fought the Whirlwind and won, she bested 2 Tested Men, not only that she beat them like Brigade Band during her race to Senate on two occasions, the bitter truth is that She retired them Both from Active Politics, that means she has what Men don't even have.
No man can beat Ex Governor and Ex Party Honcho into total Submission and forced them to retire from electable Politics, so when a woman does that, it inferred with the saying "Akwa OKUKO tiwa Aki, ifere emeba Mkpume"(When an Egg Crack a Kernel, great Shame will shroud Stone).
As a Politician, she has made her Bones, she showed class act as Honorable member, her projects which some call Constituency Projects are Legendary to say the least.
As a Senator, she did not land before she started Running, she was running before she even landed and that makes her case Wonderful.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I announce that Senator, Mrs, Iyom Uche Ekwunife, the Lady with a Midas Touch, the Senator with Swag, obiri Ohama onye Nwa aka na Poto Poto, the Woman whose presence sent many Men into Hypertensive caucus is coming out for the GUBER of Anambara state.
Like her or hate her, she is a Man to beat, please don't correct me where I said Man to Beat, the only difference is her squatting position in Urinary, she has bested even the roughest and toughest of Men and she does all that with a spike of smile and Elegance.
The only throw back about her is Resources to pursue this dream, but after the Thanksgiving service she held a day before she mercilessly retire the Former Senator Politically, where she brought together all the Political Timbers and calibers, where she made her Bone in Politics of "If you have it, flaunt it", She show that she has men and women of substance who can put in Resources and make her to be the FIRST.
I understand the argument will insist na Nwanyi agaghi achi Anambara, yes, I agree with the logic after all Nwanyi na etukwu etukwu anyu mamiri.. Yet we prance about as the heart beat of Ndigbo, if this is not new year, I would've used some words that are not charitable on us for thinking that way, but my New Year resolution is that I won't fight this year nor use harsh words (It can only be judged by my terms and interpretation).
Nobody can accuse her of unpreparedness..
None can accuse her of not knowing her onion Politically and Leadership wise.
Her only weakness or weak point is her GENDER and not agenda.
Our Wives, daughters, Aunties na etukwu etukwu anyu same amiri, so should consign them to the back burner, in fact they should not ride in same Car or Plane with us..
If Senator Iyom Uche is contesting to be the Cultural Numero Uno, I will say she is wrong, then we can be worried on how she will relate to Ndi Igwe on matters of tradition, but even at that many Ndigwe goes to women Dibia to prepare for them decanter, which if that is to be the reason of Gender Bias, then we can conclude na anyi na aso Gbaa, ma na eri Nkiti (We have two measuring Cups for same trade).
If Women can turn our state round and pull her out of the present Predicament which is suffocating, then, we should not worry about itukwu etukwu anyu amiri, after all there are Zones and Religion where Men must stoop to Urinate, which means the bias may not be only Gender effective, and if that being the case, we have limited option than to agree na ife na eme anyi, di anyi na aka.
Okonjo Iweala.. Also stoop to urinate, but how many Men will jump to her height even with Pole Vault?.
What should trouble us is to put her on the leadership Scale and weight her to see if she will PULL US OUT FROM THE PUTRID, our bother shouldn't be how she Pee...
If all anybody can find against her is her Gender, then we just pushed our women to cast a Protest Vote in her support.
Mazi Odera POg JP watching Aspirants with self Worth, those who will add meaning to the State and not Ndi Ejirim guzue.
The Hard truth I uncovered this Yuletide is that many of the Hopeful, needs to go and romance House of Assembly First ... We can't exchange a Weak Governor for a Truance or TRYANT in Capital letters.
I remain Mkpisi Ndi Egede, the conscience of the Cons... Bringing Political Crystal Ball to our Handsets and Homes..
Stay Tuned Maka na Kpoto Kpoto ga agba na iru efi along the line.
