D dramatic scenes we witnessd last friday at Asan Ibibio were nt only politically didactic bt sociologically revolutionary! D Attah Circus may hav come and gone bt d lessons,impress ions and palliatives derived wl continue to haunt our consciousness esp as we ar dovetailing into an election yr(fmr President Obj once said dat election in dis country is a do or die affair and unsurprisingly went unscathed 4 making such a politically charged time bomb)..Attahs grand reception was nt only timely bt surprising to many, even to GOA whom i knw may hav bin developing stomach urenals as he and Udom sat in d lush lobby of d Hilltop Mansion to savour d highly dramatic reception as it unfolded..(and Udom would be like:boss,ar u sure i can stl mek it in dis election?) D spirit of d Asan gathering was nt only revolutionary bt d spectacles wer manifold..4rm UOUs cool demeanour,to OBAs very confident disposition,to Attahs Ciceroic and stoic speech and carriage(his speech can go down among d greatest to be ever given at a sociopolitical gathering in Nig though) bt d real climax of show was d now trending mass rejection of Archbishop Cletus Bassey wen he was summoned to to give his benediction.(pe rsonally it was d 1st time hav eva seen an acclaimed Archbishops imminent prayers and ululations so detested by dos such blessings wer meant 4.it was a mass uproar!)(4 d records even Ukafia was also rejected)..it was real freefall 4rm grace 4 Cletus Bassey whose worship and reverence hitherto had risen to a Dionysian level. Last friday,he was shamed,lambaste d and shown his proper place in d corridors of politics(hez a cleric and had been xpectd to be partisan bt rait 4rm his installation as CAN supremo in d state,he had allows d murky waters of politics drown his celibacy and had alws found himself playing d peacock in exchage 4 a plate of beans.) d many sins of d nw embattled archbishop are well documented in d mental libraries of evry Akwa Ibomites(xcept maybe his household,..he even reportedly smuggled an olive oil into d Asan to anoint Akpabio governor wen Akpabio was alrdy a gov.).His anointing of David at d Asan was widely condemnd as it is a taboo to anoint wt olive oil on d ancestral stool to d chagrin of akai-kai and oda incantation gins..apart 4rm his constant admix of d chrch and traditional rituals,Bassey s body language had alws bin dat of sychophancy,pri de and prejudice..ofte n speaking fire against Akpabios perceived enemies since 2007..he was d CAN president 4 d gov and nt 4 d christian community..thus his communal rejection was nt wholly unsurprising.(a bigger picture twist was dat Pst Ukafia,who has bin widely tiiped to replace him was also detested).so wat derivatives can be deduced 4rm last friday?.they include among odas..1)d eyes of d Akwa ibom polity has bin fully opened by our annang brodaz in d past 8yrs (2) wen d pple suffer 4 so long,dy will revolt (3)d Ibibios nw understnd wat it means to hav dia own at d helms of affairs and ar no longer dat self- hateful,at omistic,ATTAHvi stic,polarised, conflicting fragments of everdisgruntled idiots d ibos and d annangs think we ar jaz bcos we sheepishly sell our lands to dem,..finally (4)who is gov come 2015 is stl very much sketchy.(Udom may stl be a lil up der though..however ,whoever is gov and dosnt remember me,i wl entrust ma life to running him down...had alws maintained,2015 is a yr i must start collecting real political awoofs or such govt wl crack,..so help mi God...)nw Akpabio must battle 4 a soft landing(Arsenal wl also battle 4,top four next)..and 4 d avoidance of a repeat of d nw infamous Asan Rejection,whoev er is comin in 2015 must be ready to fold his sleeves to deliver Uncommon Transformation. Godbless AKS.
