Reuben Abati : Ayade's intelligence is not appreciated in Nigeria because he's from minority - APC Chieftain

Gov. Ben Ayade

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Cross River State, Hon. Koko Dan has subtly joined hundred of thousands of Nigerians who have reacted to former Presidential Spokesman, Reuben Abati unwarranted attack on Governor Ben Ayade.

It would be recalled that during a live television programme in Arise TV, Mr. Abati misconstrued  and attack the Governor over  his position that with a face mask, the spread of COVID-19 can be controlled

Abati is a Journalist while Governor Ayade,  a Professor of Microbiology is a Scientist whose work in groundwater remediation in Nigeria, invented a sewage treatment plant powered by solar energy.

Reacting indirectly to what many have described as envious attack on the Governor, the APC stalwart who was the candidate of the party for Obudu/Bekwarra/Obanliku federal constituency in the last general election said that the Governor's intellectual capacity is undermined in Nigeria because he is from a minority tribe.

He said that "Fact remains that, in this country regionalism works in place of Nationalism.

It's therefore very clear that nothing a minority will do that will gain the fair endorsement of the acclaimed " Blue blood " The majority.

Politics apart, party apart,for those of us who have had the  opportunities to live in the first eleven nations knows that intelligence is innate and Ben Ayade is extremely intelligent. His IQ ratio could possible have the scale run over.

He won't be celebrated because he is a Minority. Well, History has it that most of the world best leaders are from the minority tribes.

The best anyone can give is to stand out, think one inch ahead of your folks.....That's what Ben does".
