Opinion: Ohuabunwa And Social Media Crusades: Matters Arising – Chukwuma Amaram

Chukwuma Amaram, a political analyst and a social commentator has dived deeper into the issues surrounding the resignation of the former Chief of Staff to the Mayor of Isuikwuato Local Government, Hon Kanu Henry Ohuabunwa.

Recall that, few days ago, Hon Kanu Henry Ohuabunwa resigned his position as the Chief of Staff to the Mayor of Isuikwuato LGA over an alleged under payment of his salary over a period of time and the Mayor’s refusal to pay him his real salary. A statement which was refuted by the Mayor’s media aides.

In a statement signed by Chukwuma Amaram also known as ShaFT and made available to pjtvnews correspondent, he opined that, Kanu Henry Ohuabunwa did ridiculed himself and reputation both politically and social-wise in a desperate attempt to blackmail the Mayor of Isuikwuato LGA, AVM (Rtd) Chinwendu Onyike.

Thirdly, the biggest honour and award of congratulations is equally reserved for Ohuabunwa, for consciously or unconsciously exposing his real agenda by making himself a ready tool and eager to serve the unscrupulous designs of certain individuals and groups who have banded together in opposition against the Mayor for refusing to ‘play’ the cards.

Read the full statement below;

Firstly, Hon. Kanu Henry Ohuabunwa, who resigned from his erstwhile position recently as the Chief of Stagg to the Mayor of Isuikwuato, AVM (Rtd) Chinwendu Onyike, fdc, truly deserves to be congratulated. Primarily, for ridiculing himself and for battering beyond repairs his self image and reputation, politically, and perhaps ethically/morally, in his desperate attempts to demonize and blackmail his former Boss, the Mayor of Isuikwuato LGA, in the social media campaigns.

Again, Ohuabunwa, deserves a bigger congratulations for mindlessly recruiting the questionable services of certain abrasive social media bullies and charlatans, and particularly armies of anti-LP devotees, who have never hidden both deep seated anger and opposition to the LP, and as much expected have continued to push ceaselessly Ohuabunwa’s agenda on the media platforms, with the sole intent to discredit the Mayor of Isuikwuato. This development is bound to backfire and boomerang on account of Ohuabunwa’s pathetic indiscretion and juvenile conduct in his relentless search for sympathies against presumably alleged accusations of mistreatment by his former Boss.

Thirdly, the biggest honour and award of congratulations is equally reserved for Ohuabunwa, for consciously or unconsciously exposing his real agenda by making himself a ready tool and eager to serve the unscrupulous designs of certain individuals and groups who have banded together in opposition against the Mayor for refusing to ‘play’ the cards.

Careful and thorough analysis of the subject and especially the hyped up media narratives and assaults launched against the person of the Mayor, compels one to look beyond the single course narratives and accusations peddled and credited to Ohuabunwa, by the social media sources; but to ask some pertinent questions, which include:

1. Did the Mayor single out Ohuabunwa for perceived mistreatment, particularly in terms of short payments of financial benefits or remuneration. Or possibly other appointees of the Mayoral office endured or experienced same treatment?

2. Did Ohuabunwa feel cheated by other means outside short payments, because the Mayor resisted and refused to succumb to intense pressures in his firm resolve to discharge his duty in good conscience, without pandering to sentiments?

3. Why was it absolutely palatable and attractive option for Ohuabunwa to seek redress hastily and hysterically by granting unsolicited interviews to a select class of social media practitioners, who are widely known or perceived to form the core of the archrivals of LP, in Isuikwuato and entire Abia State?

The summation is in political relationships, especially, close and delicate types, such as exist among aids/appointees and the Bosses, several other avenues or options are available to iron out any differences or correct/seek redress, whenever things taste bitter, against the expectation of the appointees.

The critical question in this case is did Ohuabunwa, ever bother to exhaust these avenues available internally, as LP stakeholder, before rushing impatiently to recruit the services of certain circles of social media suitors, admirers and sympathizers?

If the answer is no, it was obvious that other unseen forces were at play and exerted pressures which proved irresistible for Ohuabunwa to apply common sense approach in this case.

Chief of Staff or former Chief of Staff, who is in control of his emotions and senses, arguably should have by all means shown restraint and conducted himself much more better and in mature dispositions.

Word of Caution:
Pyrrhic victory is no victory.

Ironically, Ohuabunwa, may seem to be cruising to victory on the social media battle/space!

But guess what——–

Pyrrhic victory may win in the short term a battle but in the end the war is lost disastrously and ultimately.

This kind of disruptive political volcanic eruption portends ominous signs for Isuikwuato LGA and by all means should not be encouraged.

Kudos and credits to the Mayor of Isuikwuato, who has ignored the media orchestrated assaults as distractions.
