Featured Article: That Asupa Who Fled Ayakoromo_By Ekanpou Enewaridideke

It appears this is a season politicians have chosen to flee from one place to another  -  sometimes on whimsical thoughts and wings!

Two prominent politicians fled Ayakoromo on the 25th of January 2025. Rather rigorously there were feeble attempts to deny and cover up this flight by some vested interests but everything has fizzled out. It is chronicled everywhere that Rt. Hon. Julius Pondi and Hon. Forteta Peter Asupa recently fled  Ayakoromo on the day of the famous Olorogun Masquerade Carnival with multicoloured bags laden with logically strong excuses. For Hon. Asupa his dramatic flight to Warri came when he was told the Olorogun Masquerade was on the verge of coming out to display. For Rt.Hon. Pondi he fled to the river away from the shoreline marked for Olorogun's dramatic performance and watched the dramatics from the safety of River Forcados on a speedboat, mesmerised to the extent that people who followed his flight were equally mesmerised beyond the power of words. Great politicians they are because they all bowed differently to the performance dramatics of the famous Ayakoromo Olorogun whose credos and ideals  they didn't want to trample upon sacrilegiously with hubris.

Before Hon. Asupa hurriedly fled Ayakoromo in frightened homage to the famous Olorogun masquerade, the G4 of ward seven  -  an ideologically dedicated collection of thinkers in Ayakoromo in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State  -  narratively brought to Asupa's consciousness what he seemed to have forgotten like someone who feasted wholly  on flesh in a given pot of soup ladled into a plate for a meal.

Developmentally in a rare moment of 'appreciative epiphany' the G4 revealed narratively that it was Asupa who renovated the Ayakoromo Community Hall away from the  ravaging annual attacks of flood just as it was the same Asupa of Africa who had  architecturally inspiring blocks of classrooms built at Omotimipere Primary School, Akparemogbene, and Serikoromo Primary School, Oyangbene, in addition to identified number of political appointments he had influenced in ward seven and beyond. Right before him the G4 unambiguously held that Asupa was a king of philanthropy  -  a verifiable philanthropy attested to by the huge amount of money he showered on the Olorogun carnival and the Ayakoromo community on the 25th of January 2025.

In the thinking of the ideologically dedicated G4 Hon. Asupa has not been reciprocally recognised for his developmental strides in ward seven and beyond. It was this void and vacuum in reciprocal recognition  in relation to Asupa's developmental strides the G4 has emerged like frolicsome dolphins on the surface of River Niger, in celebratory recognition of Asupa the political motor-saw of Africa.

 Moved to the marrow of their entire anatomy the G4 has appreciatively named Asupa the Development Ambassador because physiologically and anatomically, development of people and communities is the identity mark of Hon. Forteta Peter Asupa. As narrated chronologically by G4, Asupa deserves to be celebrated for his developmental strides as a former 

Chairman of Burutu Local Government Area, former Honourable Commissioner  and former member of the Delta State House of Assembly whose developmental contours can be traced in Ayakoromo, Akparemogbene and Oyangbene  -  even if cartographically!

The thoughts of G4 which were narratively anchored saw Asupa presented with an appreciative plaque as the DEVELOPMENT AMBASSADOR on the 25th of January 2025 at Ayakoromo on a day the famous Ayakoromo Olorogun Carnival was billed to be celebrated with pomp and pageantry. In response Asupa danced and joyously took photographs with Ayakoromites but fled unceremoniously when he was informed the famous Ayakoromo Olorogun Masquerade was on the way to tell its story of performance to the admiration of spectators.

With the great thoughts the G4 narratively shared on Asupa which eventuated in his  appreciative coronation as the DEVELOPMENT AMBASSADOR, it is incomprehensible why Asupa fled Ayakoromo on a day he was honoured.Who should be blamed? Asupa who fled Ayakoromo before Olorogun emerged? Or the famous Ayakoromo Olorogun Masquerade celebrated for merciless dexterous wielding of its OGIDI the protective weapon of Olorogun?

Memorably, Asupa has created history as the first former Honourable member of the Delta State House of Assembly to be honoured with an award as the DEVELOPMENT AMBASSADOR on the day of the famous Ayakoromo Olorogun Carnival. Asupa has also been chronicled as the first G4 honouree to fear the famous Ayakoromo Olorogun Masquerade in incomprehensible cultural deferrence and flee hurriedly to Warri without a glimpse of the performance dexterity of the Ayakoromo Olorogun Masquerade. Kudos to Hon. Asupa for his developmental strides and kudos to G4 for reciprocal recognition of Asupa's developmental strides on the day of the famous Ayakoromo Olorogun Carnival!
