YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME? Part 1
I have NEVER solicited for money from any politician.
I made a promise to make thought provoking revelations about myself and to also correct some wrong assumptions about me as part of my 43rd birthday postulations christened, YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?
Let me start by saying that I am an activist first before becoming a politician. I have been against bad governance right from my secondary school days. I am in politics to offer service to the society. I’ll one day leave the political stage but will never stop activism.
It is erroneously assumed that all critics of government and politicians are the same. I often feel terribly bad when some ill informed folks carelessly put me in this category. This hasty generalization can be very misleading.
I’m fully aware that most Cross River State politicians and their aides are on social media and most of them know me personally. I say it boldly and confidently that I have NEVER solicited for any personal financial assistance from any politician, elected or appointed, old or new. Although, I admit that there’s nothing wrong asking for money from politicians but it has been my personal principle not to do so.
I decided to make this clarification not necessarily to elicit any ovation for myself but to put the records straight. I’ve been misrepresented in some quarters and occasionally wrongfully accused by people who barely know me just to score a political point. I’m also aware of desperate attempts in some quarters to disparage me and to dent my hard earned image. I move with my shoulders high because I know for a fact that NOBODY can contest this claim.
