RE: "The Futile Attempt to Blackmail the NBA Uyo ELECO. Unbridled Rascality Taken Too Far": A Proof of Corruption Fighting Back! According to the "Godfather" of Uyo Bar politics, qualification of an Unqualified candidate by an integrity-starved Eleco was "a mistake". I am sure you are yet to listen to yourself. Well, you have notoriety for speaking from both sides of the mouth! Speaking when comfortable and well-fed. For an armchair near-perennial appointee who is yet to be held accountable for resources lavished under his continuous appointment to preach a fermented sermon of "mistake" today, then I fear for NBA Uyo Branch. This mediocrity is taken too far! Indeed, grace in an ungracious mouth is nothing but a profane! A by-product of Corruption fighting back! When I canvassed for your government, it was not "gutter activism"; since I could not wrestle with piggy-integrity, nor chose to mortgage mine as you continually do, I suddenly b...
