"Dr Samuel Ogbuku
An Example of a true Izon Man"
As a man who has been fighting for the Izon cause and development, I cannot support the down fall of any Izon man. This is my stand, any time, any day, that we cannot be divided and display such characters of pull him down of your own brother in power. No matter our grievances or opinion, or disagreement, for the sake of our common bloodline, we should learn to tread with caution for the overall interest of the Izon Nation. I don't think anyone could be foolish enough to burn a whole forest where you equally built your home just because you are angry or not benefited from the system.
My stand for the protection of the Izon man, was clear in the days of Alamieyeseigha, that we should not destroy our own for selfish reasons, thus was the reason of the song HUMMER JEEP. Betrayal is our name. Judas seems to have his bloodline from here, and that has been the reason of our underdevelopment, destroying our land and common cause. The Izon man does not know how to protect his own, he never understand the philosophy that a house divided against itself is the reason why the enemy is having an edge over us, over the years.
In response to Dr Samuel Ogbuku, the Managing Director of NDDC, my score card is simple, he has done better than all his predecessors who came before him. He is the reason why the whole of the Niger Delta has been turned every village a city. This is the first time our old mothers and fathers in the village could feel the presence of light in their door steps, something that was meant for only the rich in those communities. This is something that even State governments could not do.
Beyond that, there are infrastructures, with plain evidence all over the Niger Delta. I don't think we should fight him instead of appreciating his developmental strides.
In as much as we all saw the drama of our own brother who was appointed as M. D. in the same office who did nothing and fainted in the senate, I hope nobody had any reason to cry. But here is a good man who has empowered many, including the youths and equally our musicians to be self sufficient, then we say, he is not doing enough. What else do we want?
The Izon Nation must learn from history, we can't fight ourselves for the sake of selfish interest. To bad we are trying to paint a good man black, and that's not healthy for our common tribe.
Maybe let me support our memories with some historical fact, why this war against Dr Samuel Ogbuku is a display of immaturity. Some years ago, the two Nationalists Nnamdi Azikiwe and Awolowo had their elections for the office of a premier in the West where the party NCNC was the leading factor. The election started with Nnamdi Azikiwe leading, but Awolowo who understands the bond for his tribe spoke to his brothers, in his native language Yoruba, "tiwa ni, tiwa ni," meaning "what is ours, is ours!"
Immediately the people dropped their selfish interest, and supported Awo to win.
Again, I say leave Dr Samuel Ogbuku alone so that he can continue his good works.
As the unifying factor of all musicians in the Niger Delta, we call for calm and lend our support to our son, brother, father, and leader to finish strong in his full tenures.
I remain Chief Barrister S. Smooth, the voice of all musicians in the Niger Delta.
The words of our Father are words of Wisdom let Peace led
