There is fire on the mountain .A, once loyal senior Media.Aide to the Rt. Hon Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu is voicing bitter complaints against his former Boss. Am on a Peace Mission to Middle East as an Ambassador extra-Ordinary and plenipotentiary. An ambassador is an honest man sent out to tell lies for the benefit of his home Government. But No, I am to seek for the truth in order to cement a fast degenerating Relationships. My question is, where is the Imo State House of Assembly Honourble Members? What efforts are being made to end this ugly chapter about to open to nobody’s benefit or advantage. Our Rt. Hon Speaker, should act fast to slow the speed of this misgivings of his pro-active former Media Aide. I have read two public lectures delivered simultaneously by Mr. Amadikwa (08033376764) and Citizen Samuelson (07032934037) all in the Jan. 9, 2014 P.6 and 7.. Trumpeta did well by placing these lectures side by side. Mr. Amadikwa told us that citizen Samuelson is a “Street Hustler”, who speaker Uwajumogu gave an opportunity for the first time in his life time to rise above his pedestrian position” and that the former Media Aide to the Speaker’s Press Release have some kind of Guerrilla coloration (Iwuoha’s Guerilla’s Press Releases). But Citizen Samuelson, the “Street hustler” displayed Erudition with his carefully worded lecture embellished with professional brilliance, touch and finesse: Accountability and Transparency in Imo State: The legislative perspective (part one). Citizen Samuelson’s lecture was a direct challenge to the Imo State legislature.
He was particular on the need for accountability and Transparency in Imo State legislature, especially on legislative control. He hammered his accusations while still in office for the Rt. Hon Speaker to, in his words, “to set up a probe panel that would invite me to prove my allegations. Do you still think citizen Iwuoha is kidding? If he wrote a letter on the 7th of November 2013 to his boss against the unhealthy activities of one of the speakers Aides. Why was there no effort to probe Samuelson’s allegations on the spot and why was a quarry issued to him instead on the 13th of December 2013 (36 Days later) Mr. Amadikwa listed Samuelson’s grouses and Grievances to include (1) his unpaid one month salary while on suspension must be paid against the ethics of a work place. May I ask, which ethics? (2) The impress Attached to the office of SSA Media should be re-allocated to his new office of SSA special duties. May I ask, will he work, with his blood or urine as a SSA special duties? (3) A Car must be provided to his new office, even when the demands and needs of that office do not arise. May I say, this is capital lie. Will he be expected to perform official assignments with his two legs perambulating around Owerri ? Have you seen the type of treatment that was meted out to citizen Samuelson? (4) He refused till date to hand over to the New media Aide the Accoutrement and facilities attached to the media Unit, including the key of the official vehicle of the Media Unit, including the key of the official vehicle of the Media unit, because he believes that heading the media Unit is his Birth Right. NO. You missed the point because, by his refusal to hand over to the New media Aide what you call Accoutrements and facilities, including the keys-of the official vehicle of the media unit should have compelled the legislative authorities to arrest and detain citizen Samuelson in the police station till he produces those things in his possession. Or a powerful law-suit should have been instituted against him in our law courts. Citizen Samuelson in one of his memoirs, did officially hand over appropriately, excepting his Official PEN which every effort should be made to get it retrieved from him before now. The past regime could not retrieve that Samuelson PEN. Am sure he is not threatening anybody including the Rt. Hon. Speaker, his Odokorome. Samuelson has no cult boys or group as alleged.
He wants to be paid all his wages. He wants a probe panel to prove or disprove his Allegations Samuelson. I know, is not a “Street Hustler” or guerilla writer because you better ask what a kerosene seller” did to the former regime. The more this Street Hustler’s grouses and grievances are treated with kill gloves, the more headlines you will see. Samuelson is addressing close to 2.3 million audiences worldwide every split second. He is like a bore-Hole Driller. He drills to the end. Get him arrested. He makes. News. Throw him into Prison or into the police cell, he makes the news. Pursue him to retrieve that PEN from him because I can smell Samuelson PEN PAIN and political dislocation here and there because of his possible Exit from the speaker’s camp. Whether you sue him, or arrest him, or arrest him or flog him koboko in the Douglas House, (a flash back), the best bait is to persuade him to cock his Pen.
The pen is mightier than 100 million armies. The pen is the sword of the spirit. The pen is either for or against the good of the society.
In the United States, citizens or United States citizens can pick up a phone line of Mr. Obama, U.S President to either abuse him, criticize him, complain about what he or she feels about state of affairs of his governance and what Oboma should immediately do. An Iraqui shoe- thrower journalist howled a shoe right as the face of the U.S.A former President George Bush during a press conference. Bush never frowned but corrected and adjusted himself and his strategy because he was serving the public. Bush rather forgave him^(The Shoe-thrower) Bush exclaimed, “He was exercising his democratic Right. Over here, it is a sin for one to tell an elected official, (who went about begging for peoples votes, and who through the numerous assistances from friends and well wishers) his faults: because according to William Shakespeare, loneliness is young and ambitious ladder whereby the climber upwards turns his face down and snubs the base degree where unto he or he did ascend. Citizen Ikenna Samuelson Iwuoha is not another snowden-the American whistle bower. Those who have been following citizens Iwuoha’s factor in Imo politics should have understood by now his world view. He has a passion to all a spade a spade. He has a passion for the masses. He has high regards for President Good luck Jonathan but Citizen Ikenna Samuelson I know will not fail to confront the Nigerian Jonathan to admonish him on how to govern the country right. He has great to respect for leaders but has no room for fears. His head can be bloodied but cannot be cowed because he fires his shots with every available facts figures and evidence. He gives his opponent time to adjust and think. He gauds jealously his integrity because you cannot catch him with your traps. He thinks ahead 5 million kilometers away. When you read about Citizen Ikenna Samuelson Iwuoha writing his former boss, friend and his Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu, his Odokoromee and Ogbuhorozo, open letters, Samuelson is trying to prove and to dance before those who set strategic traps for him, before they tell the world about the ugly side of their “Saint Samuelson”.
But the Nkwerre born, Gani, fahwehemin, thinks faster, acts faster like the American stilt bomber, like the concord plane whose speed is faster than that of the light. Citizen Ikenna Samuelson is a factor in Imo politics. Take it. Leave it. One may call him a noise maker Trouble shooter, and a whistle blower.
But an activist or a citizen of Nigeria whose information outlet or global audience as at April 2011 was 800,000 circulation strength to the present day 2.3 million email addresses, should not be treated like a village Boy or a “street Agboro”. If president Obama is clicking the Imo born social crusader, for updates in Africa who else, Can’t.? I feel terribly bad of the Gradual Erosion of the beautiful relationship between the Imo speaker and his most trusted, hard working, pro-active and dogged former Senior Special Assistant on Media. Citizen Samuelson. May be the speaker is thinking or thought that the humble citizen cannot bite. For your information, Samuelson is becoming a global citizen and will eventually address the United Nations General Assembly. He may soon shake hands with Banki-moon and a Guest to Transparency International (TI). The Rt. Hon. Hon. Speaker should as a matter of urgency have a Round Table with the citizen. This internet master strategist has eyes on the future. He is disproving skeptics wrong. Samuelson is proving that one can be in the public service and remain clean.
No skeleton in his cupboard as SSA media to the Rt. Hon Speaker. He is inviting his accusers to come forward with evidences of his corrupt tendencies. He has challenged them to equally Return Unspent Funds to Their Bosses or to Their Ministries. I Returned Unspent Funds To You On Several Occasions.” This is the points citizen Samuelson wants to prove and to demonstrate: Transparency, accountability and virtue, these are the challenges from this “enfant Terrible” of Imo political mine fields. Our dream is for an honest and fraud free society for a better Imo and Nigeria. LET THERE BE PEACE. I do plead with citizen Iwuoha TO COCK HIS PEN. Already this ugly scenario is a double VICTORY for the opposition. That opposition is Citizen Samuelson. Do not take it for granted. May the peace of the Lord be with the Speaker! Shalom!! I shed tears for the rupture of this beautiful relationship. Blame the so called” multiple Aides who are wiser than Solomon.
