The usual tone of politics and politicians in the part of the world today is that of glued to power patriots who neither recognize man nor God as part of their existence or political ambitions.
These trends can be virtually traced from local, state, and to the national political spheres in Africa and Nigeria to be precise. We have had politicians who vehemently glued to power for twenty years in Nigeria, the usual excuse was that the people still want them. Well, that is never true because such political office holders has taken advantage of their unsuspecting people to root themselves beyond the proclaimed power to the people anthem of democracy. And such act is obviously undemocratic.
A little glance on the antecedent of Comr. Adam O. Ogwola, who started as an apprentice printer with the Federal Government Press. Over the span of 35 years, he ranked to the position of Assistant Director at Gl 15 level and served with distinction as a production manager at the FGP Abuja office until his retirement in March 2018. His services, impact and influence to the nation was attested to.
His integrity and heart for was displayed lately during his manifestos. His state will often leave one with utter amazement as his political ideology is quite different, Democratic, and without gross attachment to remain vehemently glue to power.
Recently at a meeting with the stakeholders committee in rehabilitation for the installation of peace and harmony in APa, I watched in awe as people cannot maintain the thin line between politics of interest and the collective interest of their local level. Some among the so-called educated whose reasoning faculties seem enlarged were also victims of this menace of “political foe syndrome”. That have back dated us form the federal to the state and the local level.
However, I was surprised at the gesture from Comr. Adam O. Ogwola smiles broadly throughout the event, then finally seized the stage to address his people.
Comr. Adam. Stood and address the issues of “politics of acrimony” a great matter of concern that has delayed Nigeria from meeting up with their political demands of the 21st century. And urged them that that will not going to affect the political affairs of today as many have awake from the long slumbering of that so-called syndrome.
A political idea where it holds, “if you do not support me nothing good can come out of you, I won’t appreciate even if you turn my compound to a floor of gold, we are not in the same party, or religion so everything good you do is still mean nothing”. No wonder, opposition in Nigerian politics does not end at the field, they will do everything within their reach to make your efforts count but little, all in the name of party and religion difference.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, the local government elections are just around the corner. Soon the atmosphere will be charged with politics and politicking activities.
I appeal to all politicians and their supporters to conduct themselves with the utmost sense of maturity and responsibility. Politics is not a do-or-die affair; on the contrary, it is a competition of ideologies in which citizens are allowed to make their choices freely without any inhibition or intimidation. Let the opportunity be given to individuals to vote the person of his/her choice as this is the so core value of democracy.
It is in this regard that I appeal to the great youths of Apa to be wary of any party, any group of persons, any politician, or any individual that will try to entice them into becoming political thugs and perpetrators of election irregularities. SAY NO to such politicians! Your right is to cast your vote for the person of your choice to ensure a free and fair election.
To fellow politicians, I appeal to all of you again to endeavor to play the political game by the rules.
We must always remember that God is the ultimate giver of power. He alone decides who should lead His people. Let us, therefore, turn to Him to guide us aright in the way we conduct our political activities as we transit to a new set of leaders this time.
That is a heart that every Nigerian should have, we have different interests, if I do not support you may be because your views are different from mine, all of that ends during the electioneering periods, once a winner is declared and it’s fair, let’s imitates the Goodluck Jonathan style who in 2015 congratulated Buhari and made a political history recognized the world over. There is no trace of him (Jonathan) trying to jeopardize the present administration in any way, that’s wisdom.
My opinion to challenge to bring APa to its new phase, in particular, is to adhere Our collective peace and security demand as our roles to play, and we should not trade it for anything else.
Comr. Adam O . Ogwola is a political philanthropist, a politician with different Political ideologies whose plan is to transform Apa into the face of the modern city.
Comr. Adam Ochega Ogwola, our chairman
