In what seems to be a desperate move for membership drive, the leadership of Young Progressive Party YPP has taken to the street to cajole unsuspecting members of the public into joining its fold.
This was
made known by NegroidHaven, an online news platform. In its report, Negroid
haven has it that one Mr. Anthony Attah had a meeting with the Vice
President of National Association of Cross River State Students (NACRISS)
Worldwide, Miss Ukung Iye Alawa.
and in the
process tried to cajole her into becoming a member of the newly
registered Young Progressives Party (YPP).
Miss Ukung
Iye Alawa who declined membership of the fledgling Young Progressives
Party (YPP) narrated her ordeal to NegroidHaven
The report
from the online news portal reads in part:
NegroidHaven
got wind of what transpired recently between Miss Ukung and one Mr Anthony
Attah. Four days ago the NACRISS WW chieftain met with the wooing YPP rooter at
the Cross River State capital city as he made frantic efforts to convert the
unsuspecting poet to his political party. She declined insisting that she is a
card carrying member of the
Her words
reads in part, 'I settled to meet someone
His name is
Anthony Bissong Attah
'We met
opposite Calabar Municipality, it was really nice to meet him. At least I got
to know Etung does not just have one way in and out.
'Also we
talked on school, politics and geopolitical zones (I can't believe this)
'Then he
wanted to cajole me into joining YPP, I told him I'm a card carrying member of
PDP.'
What's of interest to NegroidHaven in the whole
experience is how Miss Ukung captured what transpired between her and Mr Attah
especially when she narrated thus: 'he wanted to CAJOLE me into joining
YPP...'(emphasise is mine). To cajole, according to Merriam-Websters Dictionary, is
'to persuade with flattery...to deceive with soothing words or false promises'.
Could this be true? Could Mr Attah belittle himself to this level?
It's
pertinent I ask this question because, of late, it's come to my notice that some
elements in the YPP in Cross River State are allegedly 'cajoling' (thanks to
Miss Ukung) unsuspecting members of the public: I have heard that they say 'the
YDP, that is, Young Democratic Party, has changed their name to YPP, that is,
Young Progressives Party' which is outright lies!
They have
conveted the secretariat of the YDP claiming it's YPP's, they have the
financial aid other properties of the YDP in their possession, not wanting to
let go. A recent experience between the leadership of YPP and the Office of the
Special Assistant to the Governor of Cross River State on Interparty Affairs,
which I am yet to talk about, us a case in point.
Thank God
Miss Ukung was smart enough, despite being young, to discern the cajoler in Mr
Attah. Some are regrettably in the net of the cajoling propensity of the
deceptive Attah. Hmmm.
