\u00a0By Ugonnabo Ngwu<\/span>
Next year’s general elections have now thrown our nation into the<\/span>
eleventh-hour of high-level politicking. Politics and all else remotely<\/span>
related to it are now having a free run. Since ours is a country where<\/span>
realpolitik for the next election begins as early as the birth of a new<\/span>
term; you shouldn\u2019t be surprise seeing politics take the centre stage<\/span>
barely four months to the polls. All the preps which have been in the<\/span>
works since 2011 are now relentlessly unleashed on us by politicians. At<\/span>
the now, we are steadily being treated to all their guile and pretentions,<\/span>
not forgetting the magic they usually vow to do us should we give them our<\/span>
ballots.<\/span>

This is actually a time when we get to see the industry in our supposed<\/span>
indolent political office holders and their collaborators. No, you can\u2019t<\/span>
hear about them holidaying in a time like this. Those among them with<\/span>
ailments more dire than the ones for which they would have jetted out to<\/span>
the best hospitals in the world, would at this time remain in the country<\/span>
to treat same here.\u00a0 Their peers who could not help but be hospitalized<\/span>
abroad at the moment keep reassuring us the improvements they are<\/span>
recording and how they would soon return to be with us. Who knows? This<\/span>
may be the reason we always hear of politicians collapsing in the middle<\/span>
of electioneering campaigns and rallies.<\/span>

It is basically about the people, at this moment. So they go all out;<\/span>
sacrificing their health and wellbeing just to secure our mandate. This<\/span>
speaks to how rewarding and attractive our political offices are. They<\/span>
simply sacrifice themselves for the office which avails them the power to<\/span>
sacrifice us for themselves. Their office of interest is paradoxically one<\/span>
that hands its occupant the power of life and death; an office that<\/span>
extricates one and his unborn generation from the grip of poverty. How<\/span>
they love to serve! But we all know that the said service is such that<\/span>
sees them servicing themselves and a few cronies.<\/span>

Their new-found diligence is just to one end: win over to their side<\/span>
voters who would allow them the opportunity of offering this corrupt form<\/span>
of service. They send foot-soldiers when their pretentions and current<\/span>
preoccupations wouldn\u2019t allow them to physically take up the<\/span>
responsibility. Of course, the errand-boys are always within reach. Some<\/span>
of them are so eager to do the job that they wouldn\u2019t mind allowing the<\/span>
actual job for which they are being paid by taxpayers to suffer while they<\/span>
take up the role of what the Igbo would call Otinkpu. Yet, what is at the<\/span>
heart of their advocacy for a particular candidate remains to sway support<\/span>
for their principal who is expected to handsomely reward them with juicy<\/span>
political offices. That\u2019s essentially Nigeria\u2019s version of democracy where<\/span>
the people are made to matter now only to be made to suffer once the<\/span>
elections are done with. A corruption of democracy, if you like!<\/span>

They treat us with much indulgence in order to steal the most prized<\/span>
possession democracy hands us \u2013 our votes. They shamelessly come to woo<\/span>
the same people whose lot they have not helped to better all these while.<\/span>
Now the chickens have come home to roast, necessitating pleas for<\/span>
endorsements, new sets of promises, parleys, supply of stomach-structures<\/span>
or what have you to be thrown up. Again, the sole intent remains: make the<\/span>
electorates look past earlier broken promises into believing the new<\/span>
irresistible ones we have churned out. What a simpleton they think of us!<\/span>

With all sense of propriety, it appears no other section of the country<\/span>
have taken in this lie like those of the South-Eastern extraction. But<\/span>
then, they may have elected to be gullible since they just can\u2019t seem to<\/span>
assert themselves and what they want in a hawkish Nigeria. This part of<\/span>
the country appears to be the first power-hungry leaders turn to whenever<\/span>
they want to continue in office. It is a common knowledge that Ifeanyi<\/span>
Uba, Udenta Udenta, Peter Obi are the masquerades behind the irritating<\/span>
TAN. Without going too far into history, we can take instances from the<\/span>
Abacha\u2019s, Obasanjo\u2019s and now Jonathan\u2019s quest to continue as president.<\/span>
Those who were always at the heart of the campaigns for these leaders<\/span>
continuity are mostly from the South East. Yet, it isn\u2019t as if the zone<\/span>
benefited the most from these governments.<\/span>

It is against this backdrop that I was heartened when I learnt of Igbo<\/span>
leaders in Lagos turning down the request of a pro-Jonathan team who had<\/span>
come to lure them into supporting the re-election bid of President<\/span>
Goodluck Jonathan. Not even the fact that those who came for the advocacy<\/span>
were their kinsmen could make the Ndigbo leaders of thought buckle to<\/span>
their mission. They resisted and tried to, at least, stand their ground<\/span>
before the setting up of a committee saved the day. Don\u2019t worry we are<\/span>
getting there. I\u2019m talking of the time when Ndigbo would stand by their<\/span>
conviction and not even concede to the setting up of any committee to get<\/span>
them to change their mind.<\/span>

It bears clarifying that it isn\u2019t as if this writer is anti-Jonathan. The<\/span>
president can go ahead to win his much-cherished re-election for all yours<\/span>
sincerely cares. What is at issue is that one who has betrayed the<\/span>
confidence you reposed in him or her should spare you the torture of<\/span>
returning to you to ask you to trust him or her one more time. It even<\/span>
becomes more humiliating when the person in question sends your kin to<\/span>
come and woo the same you for him; reminds me of Absalom. Check out those<\/span>
carried the gospel: Anyim Pius Anyim, said to be representing Jonathan,<\/span>
Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu; Deputy Speaker, House of<\/span>
Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha; Senator Hope Uzodinma; Minister of Labour<\/span>
and Productivity, Emeka Wogu; National Publicity Secretary of the PDP,<\/span>
Olisa Metuh, Ifeanyi Ubah and Peter Obi.<\/span>

The pro-Jonathan team did come to meet with Igbo leaders amongst whom were<\/span>
the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Gary Enwo- Igariwey;<\/span>
president of Ndigbo Lagos, Prof. Anya O. Anya; president of Aka Ikenga,<\/span>
Chief Goddy Uwazurike; former chairman of Diamond Bank, Paschal Dozie;<\/span>
former military administrator of Lagos, Admiral Ndubisi Kanu (rtd); former<\/span>
president, Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), Dr. Raymond Obieri; Eze Ndigbo<\/span>
of Ikeja, Eze Uche Dimgba and president of Ohanaeze Lagos, Fabian<\/span>
Onwughalu.<\/span>

These men who qualify to be protagonists of today\u2019s essay refused to be<\/span>
cowed notwithstanding the highly-placed nature of Jonathan\u2019s emissaries.<\/span>
Their insistence on not guaranteeing Jonathan their votes and those of<\/span>
their followers made the parley which began by 8pm to linger till the<\/span>
early hours of the next day. These men held that it was unreasonable for<\/span>
Ndigbo to work for the president again going by what is on ground.<\/span>

Some of these issues on ground include the fact the much hyped Second<\/span>
Niger Bridge is under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement,<\/span>
meaning it would be tolled on completion for about 25 years, whereas a<\/span>
similar project in Benue State is being funded by the Federal Government<\/span>
and would not be tolled. They also whined about the Jonathan\u2019s government<\/span>
lack of commitment in creating a sixth state for the south east, even as<\/span>
they corrected that the so-called Enugu International Airport, which the<\/span>
Jonathan campaigners are mouthing as part of his achievements was approved<\/span>
by the late President Umaru Yar\u2019Adua and not Jonathan.<\/span>

The Igbo leaders raised a lot more issues which space will not permit the<\/span>
listing of all their dissatisfactions with the Jonathan\u2019s candidacy as far<\/span>
as 2015 presidential election is concerned. It was even reported that<\/span>
\u201cNdigbo in Lagos are considering changing camp and we will soon meet with<\/span>
Tinubu and Buhari on the way forward because we have lost it in the PDP.\u201d<\/span>

It is gratifying that the Igbo leaders are beginning to do what they<\/span>
should have been doing all this while. Had it been the zone was this<\/span>
reluctant in making available their bloc vote to presidential aspirants<\/span>
who had court them when elections are around the corner, its people would<\/span>
surely have got a better deal out of the Nigerian state. Bearing in mind<\/span>
the calculations being made by the major political parties regarding next<\/span>
year\u2019s presidential election, the South East zone seems to be the<\/span>
beautiful bride. It should thus continue making the most of the fact that<\/span>
it is a swing zone which would likely decide who wins next year\u2019s<\/span>
presidential election.<\/span>
