*As PDP State & LGA Chairmen Spits Fire Against Party Members
Okonta Emeka Okelum, Asaba
As Oshimili South LGA Chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) continues with her grassroot driven ward to ward campaigns, worthy candidates are polling more positive grassroot voice votes and open solidarity.
The party's grassroot train moved through wards 5 & 4 today registering true pulse of the masses.
Today, served an opportunity for the masses to express how great their thoughts on the elections has being made of.
Of the speakers who addressed Ward Five party members, mere mention of Key ANIOMA candidates in the forth-coming general election, unveiled where the people's love and acceptance lies.
For the second time in a row, Oshimili South voters have through voice votes, songs and dance of acceptance demonstrated in advance their love for Rt Hon Peter Onwusanya.
Next in line was Hon Onyemaechi Mrakpor, the party's flag bearer for the House of Representative race.
Still scratching and grappling to gain grassroot support was Barr Peter Nwaoboshi.
Asaba Post News Wire gathered views of grassroot voters on the recent development.
Asiekwu Uzodinma, a trader, shared that Barr Nwaoboshi's diminishing grassroot political fortunes is a function of his past unfriendly political high handedness.
An Asaba Alor title holder, who does not want his name on print, reasoned that Barr Nwaoboshi's attitude to the grassroot campaign does not portray him as a victor.
Imagine, yesterday, he did not start the campaign with others at ward seven, today again nobody saw his presence at the commencement of the grassroot rally today at ward five.
I am surprise that a woman can beat a man's stamina at enduring the heats and rigours of a grassroot campaign stress.
See the tireless spirit Hon Onyemaechi Mrakpor has being braving the campaign tensions, where is Nwaoboshi, he queried.
Onyeisi Okonji, community youth leader, suggested reasons Barr Nwaoboshi was completely absent at Wards 7 & 5.
Barr Nwaoboshi knows too well he has wronged Obi Odiaka, over tricks he hauled at the Asaba Red Cap Chief on his son's quest and shot at the councilorship race in the last LGA council polls.
He told us that the steady realization that Barr Peter Nwaoboshi has a love child of a ward 5 mother, a child he abandoned for many years, is one sure reason, he is scared to step his feet in these wards for fear his political opponents might sponsor aggressive confrontation over these matters.
A brave man must face his karma no matter how bad, running away can never save him from the nemesis of his past actions, Onyeisi Okonji reasoned.
As Rt Hon Peter Onwusanya is warming his way into more hardened hearts and trying to lubricate soft landing for PDP candidates whose appeal the masses had dashed, other party leaders are in their speeches making the process an up-hill task for Rt Hon Peter Onwusanya.
What many aggrieved party members and opinion shapers are not finding funny with still remains the undemocratic utterances of some party leaders at campaign grounds.
Who are they threatening, what grassroot leader do they think they can cajor or ridicule, who do they want to kill, whose son do they want to use as weapon bearers, aggrieved party members queried.
Some aggrieved party members are asking why the state party chairman and Oshimili South LGA party chairman took the zero path to electoral peace and undemocratic hate speeches that have characterized their recent public imagery.
Nwamaka Nwaoji Udeh, a Political Science Student, observed that the name calling and character assassination cum disrespectful description of opposition candidates, Envg Ebelim Maduemezia, Oshimili South party chairman resort to recently does not befit his self acclaimed years of active politicking.
My advise to Envg Maduemezia is to copy the leadership qualities of his religious lord and saviour, even Jesus the Christ, who never returned the Jewish hatred with hatred but exemplified greater charity and service to his enemies, Nwaorji Udeh advised.
For Adimabua Okolie, an applicant, Chief Edwin Uzor, the current PDP acting state chairman, is not an image of political leadership he thinks this age and time needs.
There are just too many war-war incitement in all his public appearances I have taken note of recently, that to a great extent does not make a great leader.
What under the sun will prompt a state leader of a great party like the PDP to so go low as to marsh his political fears with divine concepts, Okolie reasoned.
Chief Edwin Uzor's best description of leadership can be akin to a works man that quarrel with his tools.
What under the sun can tempt a state party chairman to spit venomously Holy Ghost Fire against your party members who in their independent rights felt your choice of a senatorial flag bearer is not fit to represent them.
In the face of countless past political injustice Barr Peter Nwaoboshi hauled at people, is there any rational justification that the state party chairman should in public promise party member hell and brimstone should they vote their conscience.
Practically, there is no democratic basis for the state party chairman to invoke Holy Ghost Fire. Upon those who believe Rt Hon Victor Ochei will make a lot of difference.
We will make you politically irrelevant for eight years in Anioma, should you vote for Accord Party's Delta North Senatorial Candidate, even, Rt Hon Victor Ochei, so threatened Chief Edwin Uzor, Delta State acting PDP State Chairman.
