Our attention has been drawn to comments made by the Senator representing Kogi West in the Senate, @SenSmartAdeyemi on the floor of the Senate yesterday, Monday, 22nd February, 2021. While the Senate was debating a motion on how to protect schools across the country.
Senator Adeyemi in his contribution stated that while his State Governor had awarded contracts for the renovation of schools, Abia is governed by drunkards. He then went ahead to say that the Governor of Abia State is a "champagne drinking Governor".
Our preliminary response was to completely ignore the tale because it is difficult to trust that a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will reduce each himself and the group of the Senate to such gutter stage, but having showed that certainly, the Senator made such feedback, a response has turn out to be imperative.
Our view is that the Senator is either stricken by a protracted case of mental infection or is scuffling with with occasional suits of schizophrenia which manifests in making careless, dishonorable, unrelated and incoherent statements.
This end turns into irresistible judging from the overall disconnect between the matter being mentioned via the Senate and the feedback made by means of the Senator as they have an effect on the Governor.
If Senator Adeyemi changed into of sound thoughts, he have to have recognized that when it comes to training, Abia is miles in advance of his home State of Kogi. Indeed, not simply in education however in each unmarried area of development.
If Senator Adeyemi had his colleges intact, he should have acknowledged that underneath the watch of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia State has maintained first position in WAEC Examinations inside the complete us of a for five years now.
Kogi has not come close to the primary 20. Never!
Ever because @GovernorIkpeazu became Governor in Abia State, there hasn't been one unmarried case of attack on any college anywhere in Abia State.
Senator Smart Adeyemi is certainly non compos mentis.
If no longer, he might have acknowledged that whilst his State remains awarding contracts for the maintenance of schools, Abia had lengthy finished extra than 500 study room initiatives scattered across schools in Abia State, and still counting.
It is obvious that Senator Adeyemi is battling with acute dementia and has lost each of his instincts as a journalist. If now not, he could have recognised that just closing week, the National Bureau of Statistics adjudged Abia State as No. Three at the listing of States that attracted foreign direct investments, with only Lagos and Abuja beforehand of Abia State in the complete u . S ..
It takes a whole lot greater than ingesting champagne to guide a kingdom from 0 overseas investnents to No. Three inside the u . S . A ..
Kogi State featured prominently on the listing of states that attracted 0 investments. It is best a state this is peaceful and stable that has the potential to draw such go border investments.
Some weeks in the past, the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) branded Kogi State unsafe for his or her steady lip carrier to the COVID-19 pandemic. Senator Adeyemi became in no way heard to have either spoke back to that statement with the aid of the @NCDCgov or boost it at the ground of the Senate.
Yet, he has the effontery, or as an alternative, the buffonrey, to abuse a Governor whose nation has maintained one of the lowest COVID-19 fatality costs within the usa thru proactive measures to guard our human beings.
Between a Governor who has continuously denied the life of Covid and the only who has put in region measures to shield his humans, one wonders who's the drunkard.
Let us even interrogate the statements of Senator Adeyemi in addition.
According to him, his feedback towards Governor Okezie Ikpeazu were in response to a few comments allegedly made by means of the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe towards the Governor of Kogi State in a social media submit.
This reaction, with out greater, confirms that Senator Adeyemi is mentally volatile.
If Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe made bad remarks against the Governor of Kogi State, the proper technique became to reply to the Senator at once.
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu can't, by using any stretch of the imagination, be vicariously chargeable for the comments allegedly made with the aid of Senator Abaribe.
Interestingly, Senator Abaribe in reality denied ever making such comments against the Kogi State Governor.
For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu does no longer take alcoholic beverages and he's shocked on the schizophrenic outburts of Senator Adeyemi whom he has by no means met nor had any dealings in anyway with officially nor privately.
Governor Ikpeazu makes it abundantly clean to the Senator that shop for the parliamentary privilege which he sadly enjoys, Senator Adeyemi would have been positioned to the strictest proof of his wild and mindless feedback before a Court of Law.
Governor Ikpeazu concludes with the aid of advising the Senator to fast are trying to find psychiatric assist earlier than his case turns into unmanageable.
