The former Chairman of Inter Party Advisory Council,IPAC, South East,Prince Emeka Okafor has said that as an experienced politician,he does not believe in frivolous criticisms of Government in power but stated that criticisms should be done when it is absolutely necessary.
Prince Emeka Okafor,the former South East IPAC Chairman disclosed this Saturday evening in an interview with newsmakersonline in Umuopara
Commenting against the backdrop of other parties not playing opposition role in Abia State as enshrined in the constitution,the three times Commissioner in the ministries of Commerce and Industry,Youths and Special Duties during Chief T A Orji’s administration noted that there is no organized opposition in the State,but opposition should not give room for unnecessary criticisms.
Okafor further noted that criticisms should be done when it was absolutely necessary to do, adding that the experience he had about Abia politicial development is that once a government is in power,there is no organized opposition in the state, opposition went to sleep.
Shedding more lights on the role of opposition,the former IPAC Chairman pointed out that,he does not believes in frivolous criticisms,but those in opposition parties should commend government in power in areas they have done well,where it has not done well,you come out with facts and figures to buttress your standpoint.
Prince Emeka Okafor who cut his political teeth many years ago while living at Anambra state where he was served under the administrations of late Chinwoke Mbadinuju,Chris Ngige and partially with Mr Peter Obi noted that people’s prayers should be that anybody elected as governor should be supported to do well and that people should avoid the “pull him down syndrome” which he said will affect the overall development of the state.
To this end,he tasked Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti to remain focus and should not be destracted in the good work he is doing in order to end up well after expiration of his first term in office.
The PDP chieftain said the he does not believe in running from one party to the other, stressing that those running away from one party to the other should realize that they had benefitted in one way or other.
Prince Emeka Okafor,the experienced politician called on Abians to support Gov Alex Otti to finish well do not believe in pull down the governor,to encourage him to provide good governance and not destracting him with frivolous criticisms.
