APC public relations officers, information managers of their many layers of authorities,and propagandists have invented a petty crafty strategy of dodging any quest for a public discussion of their policies vis a vis their campaign promises. In playing the dodging mantra,they create flimsy excuses on;your language usage, superlatives deployed, timing of your question,religious faith, and political party affiliation.
There are sets of words you must not use, even if such word are the most appropriate in describing and explaining ineptitude of their governments . If you don't want them to blame your language don't ever say; Rt. Hon.Rotimi Amaechi is a kleptocrat, simply say he is a thief. If you don't want to know your grand parents and where they came from, never say; Mr. El-rufa'i is an intoralarable element, easily posit he doesn't permit opposition.They can forgive you if you call their leaders unwise but not zanies or flip-flippers.
Deploying words like nincompoop and nonentity; attracts a total declaration of war using unconventional arsenals.So, one must avoid; parade of esoteric professional terminologies, enjoying of poetic liberty, "ism/listic" and other strange jargonic words-smithing. Go very pedestrian,I mean very pedestrian,if you want peace with APC urchins charging like a lion a poisonous Masai spear gave him a wound.
Now that we know the palaver with APC urchins. We say sorry for over-stretching their reservoir of limited vocabularies and dragging them up and down the hills and valleys of history. It's really bad reading with a thick dictionary or a Google search engine by one's side.Disrupting reading to consult glossaries of definition of term or encyclopedia drains the flow and thrills of stories .We beseech APC urchins( especially those of Kaduna State) to find a place in their kind heart and forgive us.
Now, can we discuss issues? Guess the troop of APC urchins are ready. Can the spokesman of Governor Nasiru Ahmed El-rufa'i refer us to any research suggesting that one LGA in Kaduna State has more gold than the entire gold in South Africa? He dodged a similar inquiry from a London based centre, hope he will obliged this time around. Can one of the megaphone of Governor El-rufa'i refer us to the document that gave their boss the 30/70 percent ratio of Christians and Moslems in Kaduna State? Can any of the men or women in the loop of Sir Kashim Ibrahim House tell us why he told critics to go climb Kufana mountain and fall? Can they tell us where Mr. El-rufa'i got the statistics that said over 800 were killed in post 2011 elections crisis and most of the killings took place in Southern Kaduna.
I hope, bombastic and sarcastic words were not used in posing questions hereinbefore. All escape routes have been blocked! APC urchins, can you step up with answers? Can we discuss, issues? I know you are bold, say something, please.
We are just warming the engine of this engagement. You haven't seen anything, yet. Am still far, when I lurk at the corner, it shall be louder than this.
