Unfounded Criticisms Levelled Against Dibiagwu: An Expression Of Rancour

Criticism is a garnish for people in government. Every public office holder who is desirous of delivering on their mandate will always cherish criticism, mostly when it is purely constructive and credible.

Though, the reverse is always the case when it is lopsided and devilishly intended. This seems to be the position of few dissenting voices who out of inappropriate attachment to rancour, spurs on churning out baseless antagonisms against RT HON EUGENE OKECHUKWU DIBIAGWU proficient delivery of legislative mandate in the Green Chambers.

Since the three years of Dibiagwu’s impactful representation, it has been one case of criticism from one interloper to another. While we cherish criticism as a good component that keeps a check on a decisive leader, it must be balanced, constructive and engaging so as to dutifully inform the people the true side of the stories always.

When criticisms are twisted and shielded from the face of reality in what is obvious and generally acceptable, it leaves one to wander. Criticism must tend to be balanced if the critic is intentional about the progress and development of the people.

It must come with facts, and try to expose loops where any. Once these parameters are jettisoned but heralded with twists, manipulation and misinterpretation of facts, it is no more criticism but an expression of rancour through the wrong channel.

In fact, in Ohaji/Egbema/Oguta/Oru-west Federal Constituency, we hardly existed a week without recourse to one flying up and down. Those to me are not criticism but unprofessional attacks which the said critics hide subtly in, depicting same to be criticism.

One thing that baffles me is, these critics have never denied the fact that, Dibiagwu has worked. They do not deny the fact that, Dibiagwu has transformed the Constituency in terms of visible and tangible infrastructure.

Before now, the sorry state of the constituency was indescribable. Now, Dibiagwu has come. He didn’t just come, he came with innovation, a dependable road map of progress and ever since his arrival, he has truly turned the face of the Constituency from the moribund and deplorable status to a viable one.

His arrival has opened up access to most communities via the roads he attracted, sound and thrilling learning environments that have been rejuvenated in most of our publicity schools, the empowerment that has become a scheme, in fact, hardly any quarter passes without one being held in the Constituency and many more.

As it is, minor Constituents’ who have been shrouded with negativity leave the substance but to ask nauseating questions and try to query the whereabouts of the life transformation projects.

They turn a blind eye in deep rooted pretence as;

*Where is the location of the road?
*Can you furnish us with ministry/agency, parastatal doing the road?
* Where are the documents of the job done? We need them so as to study the scope, review the components and it’s underlying structural engineering.and their likes.

They do not argue that nothing was done but wants to prob and scrutinize the processes. We do not say they are not a good quest but we are saying, what stops them from appreciating the good works already while making further insights into the quest for documentation and it’s worth not.

In a lame man presentation, I say, I wish we had a House of Representatives Member who would have given us all these infrastructure over the years. How do I care about the quantification, contract processes, documentation, executing ministry or agency as substantial than the tangible reality with us.

All I see from the critics are an expression of bile, bitterness and rancour. A deep rooted expression of the lies that their erstwhile legislators, who properly failed in regards, cannot cover such shame with unbearable lies anymore, but to resort to bootlicking and antagonisms.
