Special Adviser to the Governor of Abia State on Ethnic Harmony, Tunji Jerome Olowohunwa has expressed disappointment over the statement made by Senator Smart Adeyemi, against the Governor of Abia State.
The SA who described the act as an ‘ unwarranted vituperation’s and acute display of arrogance’ , said the Senator intentionally deviated from the senate’s business and resolved to uttering uncomplimentary statements.
He noted that “the Senate is meant to be a sacred place for matured minds whose job is to make laws for the country and not for personalities who lack proper upbringing and common etiquette”.
He maintained that senator Smart is suffering from acute dementia which has made him loose touch with the realities of life.
Tunji added that senator Smart missed his target as Governor Ikpeazu can not be measured with Adeyemi’s ‘pay master’ who is heavily indebted to the people of Kogi in terms of basic social services and workers’ welfare.
He expressed surprise that Senator Smart who has never met governor Ikpeazu could describe him as a drunk.
“I am even shocked by such pathological lies coming from a supposed man of honour like senator Adeyemi, that Governor Ikpeazu who does not take alcoholic drinks is a drunk despite the fact that he had never met governor Ikpeazu in person or had any dealings with him”.
He also stated that Senator Smart needs to be cautioned;
“I am not however very surprised that this unnecessary outburst is coming from senator Adeyemi.
” I never expected much from him because he is occupying a seat that is apparently higher than his individual capacity and indeed, only God knows how he came back to the Senate.
“His act in the hallowed chambers is a calculated act of disrespect to the governor of Abia State and to the 9th National Assembly.
” Senator Adeyemi needs to be cautioned and if he chooses to continue with this his recent senseless behavior, there may be need for him to visit a psychiatrist because comments coming from him can only but come from someone who is mentally unstable or someone of unsound mind” Tunji said.
He however, urged Senator Smart to put pride aside and tender an unreserved apology to governor Ikpeazu and Abians to ‘redeem his already battered image a little bit.’
