Ninety eight percent of stories about Gbagi all lies – Zik Gbemre
…Says Gbagi Has No Rival Come 2023
Ahead of the gubernatorial race in Delta State, a political analyst, Zik Gbemre, has posited that majority of stories propagated against the leading governorship aspirant Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi, are fake and handiwork of mischief makers.
Gbemre, in his recent write-up noted that his closeness to the former minister of education, has enabled him to understudy Gbagi, with a conclusion that the guber aspirant, is a man with strong character.
Hear him: “From personal experience, getting to knowing him close, I maintain that 98% of the stories about Kenneth Gbagi are fake.
“And just as no person can buy me over to praise him, no person, not even Gbagi, can buy me to run down another man. Sincerely, I have not seen any of those things they accuse Gbagi of doing. I will never join a gang of pull him down for mere media gossips”, Gbemre declared.
The Urhobo-born commentator, described Gbagi, as a simple, open and kind who people capitalizes on to run him down, stressing in Pigin English that, “Person good no go kill am, Amen!”.
Gbemre who quoted an extract,”I don’t see any viable candidate from the entire Urhobo nation more deserving of piloting affairs of the Delta State come 2023 other than Chief Ken Gbagi. Our unflinching support for him”, said that among the qualities that stand him apart, from the rest in the race for the next Delta State Governor, Gbagi is the only aspirant without a godfather to compromise his would to advance and protect the common good of all.
He pointed out that the above statement of confidence from a notable Nigerian on Gbagi revealed few days ago, on a chat with a friend, again lend credence to why every well meaning Deltans consider Kenneth Gbagi the most qualified governorship aspirant for Delta 2023.
According to Gbemre, “He’s is the only aspirant with proven business acumen to maximize Delta’s abounding potentials for accelerated development. Gbagi is the only aspirant with the clout with widespread connections to rule the state in assuring fairness and equity among all three senatorial districts and ethnic divides.
“Gbagi never discriminates, never tribalistic, sentimental or ethnocentric in dealing with or managing people as exemplified in human capital engagements in his vast business empire. He rather judges men and situations based on merit and sincerity of purpose.
“Gbagi will use the Delta state resources to develop the entire state. Gbagi is a philanthropist, kind and open minded to a fault”, recalling that during the Covid-19 lockdown, Gbagi Foundation in course of distributing palliatives to my Iwhrekan home town, Ughelli South of Delta State, came across a young lady with a horrible tumour grown around his mouth that he could only feed with a baby feeding bottle.
“The foundation took pictures and brought her plight to Gbagi’s notice. Soon enough, he sent a doctor to examine her and that was how the helpless girl received surgery and today she’s hale and healthy. This is just one demonstration of Gbagi’s outstanding passion to put smiles on the faces of the distressed persons”.
On the distinguishing personalities of Gbagi, Gbemre continued: “In Gbagi you also find valued humility, wisdom and intelligence. Many who have misjudged him from afar based on a myth of arrogance of fabricated stories about him have often been shocked by his exemplary humility and respect for the fellow man when they then come close to him.
“If there’s one human trait Gbagi values extremely, it is self respect, integrity and commitment to hardwork. He is averse to lies, laziness and psychophancy. Gbagi would make friends easily, even with a stranger, based on trust and integrity. In corresponding impulse, he would distant self from you the moment he’s convinced you lack same integrity and can’t be trusted”, he added.
