Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan may not celebrate birth day because of the heavy burden of governing a state like Delta. If he does, it gives his horde of critics the opportunity to feast like vultures of opportunism; if he does not celebrate, his core political associates may be offended.
.
These are the contradictions that define our political space where every move, statement or inaction is laced with grave meanings. As Governor Uduaghan clocked 59 years on October 22, 2013, my uncle's advice that "any venture that goes too easy at the very beginning, without obstacles, may not have a good end" comes to my mind.

Governor Uduaghan is possibly the most prosecuted, vilified, misunderstood and persecuted Governor in the history of political mudsliding since 2007.
.
I wonder how he managed to put the past behind and won over opponents as his friends, political comrades and members of his inner circle, without losing his traditional old associates in his political journey as leader of the State since 2007. This is new in our political history that is not devoid of politics without bitterness.
He has done very well for himself, his family, the state he's governing and the whole of Nigeria!
Big up sir ...
