TARABA GUBER:MY KOBO ADVICE FOR DAVID SABO KENTE DSK

By John Akevi

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 campaign 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 occur 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 grievous 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 declared 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 until 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 usually a regrettable strategy in guerrilla warfare.

If I were DSK,I would have tactical withdrawn 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-statesman and distinguished military General of Taraba State extraction,a man who truly believes in the unity of the State and Nigeria as a whole.

I rest my pen for now.
