Steve Osuji Spits Fire Over NGE Elections: They say I am an ASSOCIATE MEMBER!

The election of the NGE in Lagos last Saturday symptomized not just the state of the media today but the dire state of our nation Nigeria.
At a point in the course of the charade, I began to wonder if it was still the NIGERIAN GUILD of Editors gathered or the guild of idiots?
What happened was the verisimilitude of the last APC/PDP election except the so-called editors exhibited more desperation. It was a conclave of desperadoes who did EVERYTHING to have its way and sit-tight in office
This explains why the only way to stop me was to perjure themselves shamelessly. Here’s the story in bullet points:

• after I purchased nomination form to contest for the PRESIDENCY of the NGE, they wilfully misinterpreted the constitution and purportedly disqualified me on the ground that I am no longer a FULL MEMBER OF THE NGE!
• how can that be!? I have been a member for precisely 17yrs.
• I am currently an exco member having won election in 2017 with the same Article of the constitution subsisting,
• I have been editor in The Guardian, Thisday, Newage; and MD/CEO Imo Newspapers,
• I am currently a member of Editorial Board of The Nation Newspapers, I have been there for 8yrs running,
• I was Chief Press Secretary to governor of Imo State during which I hosted the NGE in Owerri
• I am an award-winning columnist, etc.
  How come I am being branded an Associate, the lowly status of a beginner?
  It is because they knew I would TROUNCE them in a contest; so it was OPERATION STOP STEVE OSUJI by any means.

They even flooded the venue with policemen and plainclothes security; they were afraid my supporters would violently reject their impunity, their travesty… they twisted the constitution and suborned the election committee and have it speaking in strange tongues!
But desperation is not in my DNA, I am a man of peace and easy ways. I have a life!
My attempt to contest wasn’t about me, it was for the sake of the Guild and to save them from themselves. They perhaps didn’t notice that the Guild has become odious to respectable publics; for instance, none of the invited dignitaries showed up: VP Osinvajo, Lai Mohammed and not even the host governor spared a moment for the NGE. It never happened. My coming was an attempt to allow some light into a much-debased GUILD caught in the clutches of a soulless band… not unlike Nigeria!
While I have left them with the carion… Ib will remember to say some prayer for them… they need it sorely.
