Garba Umar a.k.a UTC who<br \/>\nsuddenly found himself in power and allowed himself to be eaten up by<br \/>\nthe power. He deemed the state treasury as free fund to buy and bribe<br \/>\nnewspaper houses and editors to write flattering report about his<br \/>\ngovernment. He deemed self as the best thing that ever happened to<br \/>\nTaraba State and urged hordes of sycophants he recruited into his<br \/>\ngovernment to sing his praises. His action left no one guessing what<br \/>\nhe intended to do with the power that never belonged to him in the<br \/>\nfirst instance.<br \/>\nOne day, Alh.Garba Umar looks himself in the mirror and addresses<br \/>\nhimself as the &#8220;INFANTILE LEADER&#8221; of Taraba State and therefore, above<br \/>\nbeing corrected. He sees himself as the new emperor of the State. Who<br \/>\nso ever that crosses his path is dealt with squarely. Any body that<br \/>\nopposses his wicked policies losses his investment. Any body that<br \/>\nchallenges his inhuman actions crushed to death. Any one who reveals<br \/>\nhis criminal tendencies is treated with scorn. This INFANTILE LEADER<br \/>\nin the past Twenthy months in office metamophose in to a MONSTER. As<br \/>\na monster,Alh. Garba Umar is now the agent of the devil. Since<br \/>\nthen,Taraba state has now been turned into a gigantic abattoir were<br \/>\ncitizens are being slaughtered on slabs like aninals,while the<br \/>\nJezebelic government looks on with impotence. Under his leadership<br \/>\nTaraba state has become a lawless jungle were the basic laws of<br \/>\npreservation are constantly being violated. Taraba State is in the<br \/>\nstate of a coma. The monster has attacks the blessing of the people of<br \/>\nthe state without mercy. He has taken the people of the state from<br \/>\nriches to poverty. He has turned the people of the state from good<br \/>\nhealth to perfect infirmity. There is crisis every where. The level<br \/>\nof poverty is unprecedented.This monster behind the wheel of<br \/>\nleadership in Taraba state hates seeing people rejoice. He rejoice and<br \/>\ncelebrate when the people of God are weeping and complaining. He has<br \/>\nforced the good people of Taraba state to groan under his jezebelic<br \/>\nleadership. His short history tell us that UTC has a knack to pounce<br \/>\non people with differed opinion from his with an overwhelming ferocity<br \/>\nand ease. He could humiliate any personalities and whip journalist and<br \/>\nactivists without a slightest remose. Yet the monster look himself in<br \/>\nthe mirror again and says to himself &#8220;I am not accountable to any one&#8221;<br \/>\nand I must get elected into the office in 2015 even if the people<br \/>\nperished. The monster had a total believe in the bunch of<br \/>\nunscrupulous individuals who formed the nucleous of his government.<br \/>\nPeople like; Abubakar Dauda Jen,Kwetaka Danfulani,Mr Orbee Uchiv,Barr.<br \/>\nSam Ada,Ahmed Yusuf,Mr Jerry Manwe,Hassan Bappa,Marafa Abba,Garvey<br \/>\nYawe,Abas Njida,Alh.Sintali,Ahijo Musa,Josiah Kente,Dr Agbedyeh among<br \/>\nothers. However,the monster never know that these people are<br \/>\nsycopants. He never know that they are bootlickers. He never know that<br \/>\nthey are food is ready politicians. Having realised that he has<br \/>\nnothing with which he can ask for votes in 2015,UTC has grown so<br \/>\ndesperate that he can kill to come back to power. His desperation is<br \/>\ngething deadly by the day. He finds out that the heavy inducement he<br \/>\ndolse out to newspapers and editors is yelding dwindling results as he<br \/>\nquarrels with more newspapers and editors who come in contact with the<br \/>\nfact that the monster has no single project to advertise after nearly<br \/>\ntwo years in office.<br \/>\nThis is why the people have returned to God to destroy this monster<br \/>\ntroubling them. Conversely,the monster is a satanic stronghold that<br \/>\nmust be pulled down.<br \/>\nNevertheless,the Almighty God open the windows of heaven and saw the<br \/>\ntreachery of Alh. Garba Umar against the people of Taraba state. And<br \/>\nGod nodded his head and said &#8220;Disaster will over take this man.<br \/>\nCalamity will fall upon your way this time around. Catasstrophe will<br \/>\narise so fast that Umar will not know what hit him. For I am the lord<br \/>\nwho created this earth. For what comes out of my mouth must not return<br \/>\nto me unfulfilled. There is no peace for the wicked nor hidding place.<br \/>\nI the lord God Almighty,am against you because the cries and suffering<br \/>\nof the good people ofTaraba State have reached me. Eventhough you have<br \/>\nCommissioners,SSA,Corrupt traditional rulers are with you,Discredited<br \/>\nelders are with you, Bootlickers\/sycophants and even Almajiris are<br \/>\ntogether with you. But I the lord God Almighty am against you.Let the<br \/>\npeople who are with you stand up and save you from this calamity.<br \/>\nAfter this final verdict from the lord,I shed hot tears for Acting<br \/>\nGovernor Umar because he is on his way to Golgotha. A topic for anothe<br \/>\nday.<br \/>\nI rest my pen for now.<\/p>\n<p>John Akevi<br \/>\nTel:08188188081 Email:john4akevi@gmail.com<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By John Akevi For some time now,I had been following the trajectory in Taraba State where a certain character called Alh.
