and the burden of blame!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By Osita Chiagorom<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Early last year, after observing the PDP publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">for sometime, I made a post that his statements were always contradictory\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and should be ignored.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As expected, I faced some onslaughts from some PDP e-rats whom today I\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">thank God that I see no more.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Today, the same man is trying to blame PDP&#8217;s defeat on hate campaigns\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">orchestrated by FFK, Fayose and Mrs Patience Jonathan.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It shocks me that this man forgot that he personally laid the foundation\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">of hate campaigns against APC from the formation of the party.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the day of the official inauguration of APC as a party, this man became\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">threathened and obsessed with hate granted a press conference condenming\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the party&#8217;s manifesto and likened it to that of the JANJAWEED and as a\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">party that seeks to islamize Nigeria.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From that time onwards, JANJAWEED became a song of some clueless and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">ignorant PDP supporters who used it as derogatory terms to attack any APC\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">personality.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I can&#8217;t remember how many times it was used on me.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And to our shock, some (fake)men of God fell for it, picked on it and even\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">PREACHED it.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An eyesore!<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That&#8217;s one of the unfortunate things that happened to Nigeria&#8217;s politics.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For the first time ever, a party completely deviated from the principles\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">of positive campaigns and chose to divide Nigerians into religious lines.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Olisa Metuh as a PDP spokesman laid the unfortunate foundation of the hate \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">campaigns that aroused religious sentiments amongst Nigerians and paved\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">way for FFK, Fayose , Mama Peace and the rest who capitalized on his<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">unfortunate JANJAWEED philosophy.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Can someone very close to Olisa Metuh remind him of the truth?<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He owes this country an apology.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thou, FFK, Fayose, Patience Jonathan, and later Peter Obi were culprits,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">but it was Olisa Metuh who laid the foundation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via
