By Odimegwu Onwumere

Nigeria is welcoming a new democracy than what were experienced under ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo government, and Nigerians of goodwill are happy with the development. While in the upper citadel of the government of Nigeria corruption is being fought to seeing that it standstill, some people at the grassroots are still bent to perpetrating mischief for their nefarious wants; they are challenging the collective will and intelligence of Nigerians, perhaps asking, what will happen to them. To such people, as observers of Rivers politics perceive in Rivers State, they are sitting on a keg of gunpowder of the law.

One man that is being honoured in Rivers State and its politics is Prince Tonye Princewill, the leader Rivers Action Congress (AC). The honour accorded Princewill is not because he is a Crown Prince of the Niger Delta, but because he is straightforward in his business of politics. He is transparent. To the tireless Princewill, his ambition is to seeing that he helped the present Rivers State Government under the able leadership of Mr. Chibuike Amaechi to achieve the dream Rivers State every of its citizens had longed to see. Though, not part of the government, but he took it as his duty traveling to all the European countries to scout for investors to come to Rivers State. Princewill is also fighting assiduously to seeing that Rivers AC won the sixteen local government councils it vowed to win come March 29 2008 Rivers poll. Princewill has been reconciling virtually all the aggrieved persons who may have suffered under the Ndoni-born governor, who ruled the State for a good number of unproductive years. Princewill has been so benevolent to the course of Rivers State, but the course of his party, the Rivers AC, is paramount to him.

Upon all these that the amiable Princewill is doing to better the lots of Rivers people and his party, it smacks ones mind and sends jitters to the marrow, that some people go about name calling Princewill. While Princewill is labouring to seeing that the Rivers AC won the sixteen L.G councils, these people who could be best describe as rebels went and own a faction of AC, headed by Mr. Mmuen Kpagane.

If what Mr. Kpagane, the leader of the factional group of Rivers AC means by calling Princewill “anti-play member” is Princewill’s stoical approach to seeing that River State is for all irrespective of status, then Mr. Kpagane should go back to the classroom.

It was in December 5,2007 that what observes of Rivers politics called “giving a dog a bad name “manifested from the hatred coffer of Mr. Kpagane against Princewill. Being the leader of Rivers AC Princewill is, Mr. Kpagane was said to be disrespectful to the rules and policies governing the party and when the party stakeholder rebuked him, he ran out from the party and began mudslinging Princewill from all ramifications. It was reported that what Mr. Kpagane keeps on doing is to be misleading party members who were not informed that he is a renegade who have caused incalculable problems to the party, and is still causing?

Mr. Kpagane continues boasting as the Rivers AC chairman whereas his name has been scrapped from the party list waiting when he will turn a new leaf. However, it’s noted that what keeps swelling the head of Mr. Kpagane to be talking is that he could still found his name in the national membership list of the National body of AC, which will probably come to be removed when the national body of the party will come to understand the heinous achievements of this fugitive. His achievement was said to be Tinkering and bickering and insulting the party members especially the elders of the party.

Bringing himself to the cleaner, Mr. Kpagane had no job in recent time other than paying Nigerian newspapers heavy sum of money to make himself relevant, as the Rivers AC leader, which he is not. While he continues to answer Rivers AC leader on the pages of the newspapers, yet he is not bent to promoting the course of Rivers State.

Without doubt, from all that had been heard about this party rebel, Mr. Kpagane is only interested in fomenting and promoting problems to affect the government of Governor Chibuike Amaechi, and the national peace of AC. Mr. Kpagane is not ready to partner with the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RISIEC) on the commission’s policies to hold a credible election in the State come March 29. He is interested to seeing that his rebellious members contested in the Rivers poll. Can some one call Mr. Kpagane to order?

Mr. Kpagane in his undemocratic way is lauding the credibility of his faction, which is only, but a sham. While the Rivers AC, which is recognized nationwide, headed by the orator, Princewill, is serious working for the emancipation of AC in the State politics which was nearly maimed by the PDP’s unkind politicking, all that Mr. Kpagane is running up and down Rivers State to Abuja is to make sure that RISIEC grant his equivocal factional group the N5m meant for political parties in the state as to enhance his faction’s illegal preparation towards the Rivers council election.
