Dear OBI di ents.
I salute you all this morning.
Win or loose you are heroes already.
You threw away sentiments, crumbs, stipends, promises whether real or imaginary.
You threw all of these away and decided to pitch your tent with just "COMPETENCE" and mere possibility.

You support a man whose only blemish in the political terrain of Nigeria are mere fabrications and "HE CAN'T WIN" regardless of the fact that he was a two term governor of a state with one of the lowest allocations in Nigeria and still did what none has done previously.

You invest time, energy, resources to push this to happen.
I salute you.
You attach so much emotion to this movement.
I salute you.
Posterity will be kind to you.

How exactly does the kponmo Boys and their atikulated counter parts see you?

They think we are fools for daring to do the impossible.
They think we are stupid for aligning with a man who neither gives shishi nor promises any form of inducement.
They think we are laughable because according to them we have allowed emotions imprison us.

Now a story

There is a community that is reputed to breed the best of horses.
The horses roam freely, playing and enjoying themselves.
They do not have to worry about anything because they could always sort themselves of whatever needs they have.

But there was one particular horse

Nothing very distinct about this horse save that it is has continually been tied to a tree at a square.
It has never been loosed to roam.
It doesn't have much choices as it doesn't determine it's life.
It is fed not according to what it wanted but according to the owner.

The other horses continually made jedt of her.
They will talk down on her, call her names. Demean her and even sing her name in their moonlight games because it never made any appearance in moonlight games.
The worst if it all is that no man had even rode on it.

It lacks all the experiences of an everyday horse.
This particular horse sometimes feels that life is boring, exasperation sets in.
But the story changed when the king was about to ride into town.
That horse was chosen to bear the king because of the same reasons it was derided

To the amazement of the free and roaming horses, their owners both great and small, both wealthy and poor came to welcome the coming king with beautiful clothings spread on the floor for the horse to walk majestically on.
The horse was hailed alongside the king that rode on it

From that day going forward, the signifance of the free and roaming horses was utterly relegated to the background.
The conversation henceforth was about the horse that was bound to a place.
No one remembers the character of any of the free and roaming horses.

But the horse that was unpopular and derided got elevated in history.
You can't talk about the king without talking about the horse.

Hold on people, your place in history is assured.

Keep the flag flying.
