Presidential declaration: A misplaced judgment-Adigwe Chekwubechukwu

Let me say this quickly, I am not an All Progressives Congress member or even a politician to begin with. So, nobody should think I am being influenced by party loyalty. I write based on personal conviction that the presidential declaration for a second term in office by President Goodluck Jonathan some couple of days back was badly done because the timing was wrong. On December 12, 2012 in

An Epistle Chronicling Peter Obi’s Unremitting Mortal Sins Against APGA

From age to age such kind of responsibility has always fallen upon great philosophers to look the king in his very countenance and reprimand him. To this, many great philosophers have experienced persecutions in its wake. Shall we recount the agonies of the poisoned thinker of Athens—Socrates—or the banishment of Anaxagoras or the torturing of Zeno. I too have a crystal reminiscence of the execution of Severinus Boethius,  the Nero’s killing of Seneca and the brutal decapitation of Thomas Moore, to mention but a few. Their crimes have the semblance of the crime of Jesus before the ignorant Jews of those days. This crime which I shall not in any way spare contemplation or fear to commit against a king that has executed much evil against the ordinary man even against a political party so dear to Igboland. It is my duty, I ween, an eternal obligation of the righteous, to bring to the open the sins of the wicked. I may not be alone in this judgment. But one thing is to be noticed my judgment must be guided by the illumination of reason. What I have just expressed is that the onus of chronicling the mortal sins of the wicked, even of the king of our day falls upon me. This sole task shall this piece undertake to accomplish.
