Taraba Guber: My Kobo Advice For David Sabo Kente DSK
Sir, the decision to write this latest epistle was reached after
watching the bizarre movie that was acted by you and your fellow
supporters,produced and directed by very senior Director General of
your seemingly formidable campaing organisation,"DSK PROJECT
2015" Sen. Abdullaziz Ibrahim.
Let me confess that no
scriptwriter would have visualised such melodrama on any regular day.
If anyone had ever suggested that such a humiliating scenario would
occure in your camp,we would have dismissed it as a product of cruel
imagination or lunacy. But we saw this one before our very eyes and
became stupefied to say the least.
Chief David Sabo Kente who I will subsequently refer to as DSK had
make some graveous mistakes during his quest to pick the PDP ticket to
represent southern Taraba State come 2015 general election.
Sir,permit me at this juncture to highlight some of the terminal
mistakes made by DSK and his embattled campaign team after,the former
Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs Arch. Darius Ishaku was
decleared as PDP consensus governorship candidate for the southern
Taraba State geo political zone,by Chief D.S. Nyapuri led committee.
Sir,one of the costliest mistake you ever made was to have allowed
your relationship with a veteran of many wars Gen.T.Y Danjuma to turn
sour and degenerate to the level fisticuffs. DSK it is a battle you
cant afford to fight because you have no chance of winning it at the
end of the day. The second mistake was the manner
your acolytes exposed your desperate ambition of becoming the next
governor of Taraba State prematurely. It was totally unnecessary. As
an African,you must be aware of the adage that "a wise man always
keeps the name of his impending baby to himself untill after his wife
delivers". The manner your campaign team have been threatening
hellfire if Nyapuri led committee fail to pick you as a consensus
candidate has been very rude,crude and outlandishly provocative. The
third mistake is the commonest in all wars known to mankind. Sir,you
opened up your flanks by fighting too many people on too many fronts.
DSK,it is only a poor General does that. In the haste to crush the
rebellion of your co contenders as well as your implacable enemies,you
got sucked in because you were stupendously engaged in too many
directions. This was bound to take its toll on you and your
combatants,coupled with the obvious fact that you underrated your
opponents. That is ussually a regrettable strategy in guerrilla
warfare.
If I were DSK,I would have tactical withdrawed from the race,dropped
my ambition and thrown my weight behind Arch. Darius Ishaku just as
Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha and others did. If I were DSK I would accept the
decision of Chief D.S Nyapuri led committee on the fact that the
action of the servant is the action of the master. If I were DSK I
would have invite Arch. Darius Ishaku into a room and embrace him
warts and all.
DSK, my kobo advice for you is to put the matter behind as quickly as
possible and forgive even if you cannot forget. It is sad that you
apparently did not envisage the tragedy that was going to befall your
camp and tear your members asunder.
Finally,I wish to assure you DSK that,it is not an act of timidity to
seek peace with Gen. T.Y Danjuma whom many considered as a national
elder-stateman and distinguished military General of Taraba State
extraction,a man who truely believes in the unity of the State and
Nigeria as a whole.
I rest my pen for now.
