THE ANCIENT WISDOM OF ANDY UBA

Blood sport is brought to its apogee in the arena of the Nigerian rumour mill, every time the discussion segues to Senator Andy Uba. Andy has over time become the meal ticket of the random gossip and hardened traducer earnestly inured in the enterprise of ceaseless fibbing and slander. It has become the past time of many a gossip to fabricate tenuous news about him

There is remarkable difference between a gentleman and a boy. A gentleman knows when to maintain decorum, a boy doesn’t.

A gentleman never shouts and a thug is forever lousy and foul. This comparisons perfectly highlights the remarkable differences between Senator Andy Uba and Senator Dino Melaye.

Uba understands that silence is golden hence when the media was agog recently, especially the blogosphere, with the story of Senator Uba’s false certificates saga, the accused senator simply shrugged the accusations away and maintained decorum. He didn’t dignify the reporters with any response. He was so sure of himself that several people within and outside the Senate talked about his courage.

Unlike Dino Melaye who reacted to similar news about him like a drivel, Uba proved once again that he is a gentleman who does not have time for drivel. Uba was elected Senator for the Anambra South constituency of Anambra State, in April 2011.

He ran on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) platform. He defected to the ruling APC  in February 2017
