Senior bros Degwor,
I am writing this to you as 2019 approaches
so that you can immediately understand what actions many of us Urhobos
wil...l take as regards your candidacy for any political position.
You
called me once that you were running for governor. Paul Akpor Abu
facilitated the call. I am also aware you are close to my family the
Smart Ofugara Hetty Smart-Ofugara etc. That ordinarily would have made
me your loyal boy immediately.
However, I wish to state a few
things you may have missed in the class where CANDIDACY and
REPRESENTATION OF THE URHOBOS AND DELTANS was taught. Mowoe, Salubi and
other great Urhobos offered the class. For the Itsekiris, Okotie Eboh
and Rewane taught it. For Yorubas, Awolowo was a professor. I see you
totally missed the class or flunked it.
The main gist of the
lecture is, the major take away is " If you know you want to represent
your people as their leader, if you know you will not speak on their
behalf, SHUT UP". This is a cardinal rule for anyone wishing to
represent his people.
I am surprised that a lawyer of your
reputation and knowledge (EFCC bungled cases aside) a small me is the
one teaching you representation in a legal system that understands and
or is based on GAME THEORY. What this means is, you stand on one side
and see that that side gets all the justice it can. Obviously, you may
have stood on the side of the Hausa-Fulani, thinking this an APC vs PDP
matter instead of "my Urhobo brother's daughter has been taken away from
him to a place he cannot even access her. How can I reunite him and his
daughter How can I lead? How can I be of help? How can I use my vast
knowledge to settle this thing amicably? You Keyamo never thought in
this line.
No seriously bros Keyamo, so for a minute you did not
think this man is your constituency and deserves your help to get his
daughter back? So you did not think to use your influence and closeness
to APC hierarchy to call Sansi and say "boss, this thing is embarrassing
you. Let the girl go". As a politician, you did not reason that this
was a time to shine, where you are the one at the police station
bringing the girl out and reuniting her with her father. Do you know the
photo opportunity and the mileage that would have been for your
political career?
What did you do instead bros, you talked like
someone with zero political ambition, or like a hired Sanusi and
Yinusa's lawyer. You said that a man whose minor was taken to a diffrent
region, state, culture and religion, one that will forever divorce the
man and his daughter, you said he should marry off the daughter by
getting together with the parents of the abductor and MARRY HER OFF.
You
see a big weight like the Emir of Kano fighting little Mr Oruru and you
take the side of Emir Sanusi to kick your Urhobo brother as he lay
supine on the floor, begging for his minor...his daughter. You as a
potential representative of his tribe, you step on his brocus instead by
saying that taking his daughter away to live in Kano with the Emir is
"pranks".
Obiageli Ezekwesili, Ben Murray Bruce and so many
others not Urhobo are screaming for justice for little Mr Oruru, but you
Keyamo kick him in the gonads.
I am sure Sanusi and Buhari are clapping for you. well done
As for me Ena Ofugara, I can never trust you to represent Urhobos in my
life ever ever ever again. If a man can lose his daughter to the Emir
of Kano and you consider such loss of a minor "PRANKS" and you advise
that the man should marry the girl off, bros, for what it is worth I
WILL NEVER SUPPORT YOU AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF MY PEOPLE. I and those I
can influence will never ever ever ever support you in this life or the
next. This betrayal is just too much to bear. If you cannot stand with
an Urhobo man in a case so clear, when will you ever stand with one?
Bros,
I no put water for mouth talk am. Me and anyone close to me will never
support you. I rather go bring Kano man as Urhobo representative cos na
the same end result e go be.
Not Yours very very sincerely,
