The above title written by Chijioke Edeoga's former enemy but now hand in glove in pursuit of malice, one irresponsible brown-envelope, so-called journalist named Ikem Okuhu, but purportedly attributed to a pseudonym, Ikechukwu Nnamani, is one surreal fiction the Edeoga camp is won't to contrive in their characteristic way of getting to do nothing else except hatching lies and evil false propaganda against opponents. That is Chijioke Edeoga's despicable politics for you. Incidentally, Chijioke Edeoga has learnt nothing from his past failures. This manner of politics did not help him during the gubernatorial primaries where Peter Mbah took him to the cleaners with a wide margin to the whooping proportion of the distance between the sky and the earth.

Edeoga and Ikem Okuhu were worried about the popularity of Peter Mbah and his celebration by Nigerians far and wide for bringing to bear on the oil sector and the Nigerian economy the assets of Pinnacle Oil, a new entrant in the downstream oil and gas sector which has taken the lead in the industry, controlling the largest market share and revenue. It is an uncommon feat that has endeared the highly cerebral and resourceful Peter Mbah, the CEO of Pinnacle and governorship candidate of the PDP in Enugu State. Mbah himself, a transcedental leader, was carefully chosen by the Ugwuanyi-led PDP in the state to make for sustained good governance, given that Mbah has exquisite wealth of experience of disruptive transformational leadership as can be seen from the Pinnacle 'miracle.' and his unveiled unexampled manifesto.

On Saturday, 22nd October, 2022, the entire nation stood still in awe and deep respect for Pinnacle and the creative ingenuity behind its success, Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah. It was on this day that President Buhari commissioned Pinnacle's petroleum offtake facility, FZE Terminal at Lekki in Lagos. According to the president during the commissioning event, the operations of the facility had eased congestion in the Apapa area, reduced cost and delivery of petroleum products distribution to many parts of the country. The president had commended Pinnacle for such uncommon feat and poured econmuims on Peter Mbah so glowingly in appreciation, while reckoning with the positive economic impacts of the Pinnacle facility on Nigeria and its citizens in acknowledgement of the job-creation strides the giant oil leader has wrought in the land. President Buhari had spoken via zoom streamed and broadcast live.

Chijioke Edeoga and his partner in clownish irresponsibility, Ikem Okuhu, out of jealousy, malice and childish pettiness found it an occasion to weave lies around the event. That President Buhari did not attend the occasion physically did not detract from the fact that he identified with the uncommon exploits of Pinnacle, having done the commissioning online. It is unthinkable that in the 21st Century internet age, a Chjioke Edeoga of the most naive, ignorant and anachronistic hue cannot appreciate the real-time importance of internet technology mediation of the commissioning of the gigantic facility of Pinnacle's. How would such a story be told that a 21st Century governorship aspirant lacks the cherished technology savviness required of modern leadership? It follows that Edeoga is analog in orientation and would not be in tune with the modern-day platform-driven governance, something of which Peter Mbah has demonstrated absolutely knowledge and adeptness as was evident in the unveiling of his manifesto where he talked technology. It is a shame that Edeoga and the nitwits around him would ridiculously attribute the president's internet presence at the commissioning event as a sign of their own misguided imaginatively- contrived distancing from corruption. President Buhari identified with Pinnacle on all fours and commissioned the facility.

Chijioke and his derelicts in their piece had also diminished the presence of the Lagos State governor, His Excellency, Governor San-Wolu, at the occasion, claiming his presence was of no consequence at the occasion. It sounds insane of Edeoga and his minions who by this claim denigrated the person of the Lagos State Governor whose presence at the occasion spoke volumes about how His Excellency, Governor San-Wolu, treasures such a humongous facility wrought in the economic capital of Nigeria, Lagos State, under his watch. It is not as though anyone is in doubt of the fact that Chijioke Edeoga lacks knowledge, but it is shamefully unseemly of someone who aspires to be governor to denigrate the person of the executive governor of Lagos State, claiming he identified with corruption. When and how does such entrepreneurial exploits as wrought by Peter Mbah's Pinnacle become associated with corruption? Chijioke Edeoga has driven his irresponsible name-calling and foolish diatribes to the brinks of unbecoming childish inpunity. The same Edeoga has yet to account for the tag of corruption hanging on his neck: how he stole local government funds and fleeced local government chairmen of large sums while he held sway as the commissioner for local government affairs; the same Chijioke who could not man the Ministry bod Environment as it's commissioner is under investigation for using LG News Magazine to defraud local governments in Enugu State. One would have expected that Chijioke should come clean, but he is absolutely sullied in the cesspool of egregious corruption and debauchery.

Peter Mbah is a man of creative ideas. He thinks large and has the mental and emotional stability required to birth his creative imaginations in pragmatic terms. Pinnacle Oil and Gas Limited had begun on a small scale of little beginnings, bringing the rear in the industry. But by means of thinking out of the box and disruptive transformation, Peter drove Pinnacle to the forefront. It is said that what men do not understand, they demonize. Peter Mbah is a mystery to Chijioke Edeoga and all he and his camp of clowns can do is their usual make-believe idiotic fictions. Peter is the light and Edeoga, the darkness, could not comprehend him. Peter is in a class of his own excellence far above Chijioke Edeoga, who swims in the dirty waters of the lowly political ebb. He lacks the needed intelligence to comprehend Peter Mbah and his unheard-of achievements in both public and private sectors.

Chijioke Edeoga has learnt nothing. He is stubborn and unteachable. He has continued to call Chimaroke Nnamani names, using the likes of Ikem Okuhu, Aniebolam Nwamu, Shepherdman Iyioku, Samuel Ugwuede, and others. Chimaroke Nnamani had ruled Enugu State for 8 years and his legacies are still there for all to behold. If Chijioke had wanted to run with Chimaroke, he should have done that 15 years ago. All the narratives about Rainbownet and who was on its board are immaterial and have absolutely nothing to do with the present political situation. It is a clear situation that begs for clear roadmap to sustainable development and economic prosperity of Enugu State by means of seamless transition of the good Administration of Ugwuanyi's to another. Till date, Chijioke has nothing to offer. His manifesto is rain abuses on Chimaroke Nnamani, Governor Ugwuanyi, Peter Mbah, Ifeanyi Ossai and so on.

Edeoga should hide his head in shame. Someone with the moral burden of bisexuality and abuse; someone whose origin is doubtful; someone with many cases of theft under investigation as Chijioke Edeoga should have been sober. No! Not Chijioke! He would hire Ikem Okuhu, a mentally-deranged man under the curse of his father whom he subjected to beating, serving the banishment from his Nguru community in Nsukka, to write nonsense against Ugwuanyi, Peter Mbah and Chimaroke Nnamani. This same Chijioke Edeoga and Ikem Okuhu served in the Ugwuanyi administration. It is unconscionable of these ingrates to have beaten the finger that fed them.

The good news is that Ndi Enugu have come to cherish the incoming governor, Barr. Peter Mbah, and would not listen to the grating insects. That was why the people trooped to Lagos to behold the monumental facility built by their incoming governor, Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah. Pinnacle is an assurance double sure of the capacity of Peter Mbah to deliver on his manifesto.It is capacity proven beyond doubts and the people are patiently waiting to vote Peter their governor in March 2023.The same crowd that emptied into Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu during the unveiling of Peter Mbah's unmatchable manifesto also spread abroad in Lagos to appreciate the solid rock on which we stand. The Enugu citizenry has found in Mbah a quintessential 21st Century transcedental leader and would not pander to the childish grovelling of Chijioke Edeoga and his depraved minions.
