No need to begrudge a mad man, Ikpeazu replies Senator Adeyemi
Etim Effiong
Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu has described Senator Smart Adeyemi as a lunatic.
Speaking as a special guest of honour during the unveiling of a book written by the Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, titled: “Made in Aba”, Ikpeazu added that there was no need to begrudge a mad man.
The governor was responding to Senator Adeyemi who called him a “drunkard” on the floor of the Senate a week ago.
Ikpeazu quoted the evergreen words of Professor Chinua Achebe who famously admonished that if a mad man picks the clothes of a man taking his bath and runs away, if the man runs after the mad man, nobody will know who is mad.
Ikpeazu told the audience that he does not drink nor begrudges those who do.
