Auspicious,

Good questions, I believe gentlemen do not necessary have to dance naked even if they must dance at all.

For starters, Okey Ndibe is a paid columnist of The Guardian, that comes with responsibilities and privileges, so the aspect of submitting his work on time or not, or Abati’s democratic discretion on publishing same does not come up.

And to your other questions, yes, I know a few more things that I do not have to necessarily write here, I am offering Abati a decent leeway to retrace his steps, raising the stakes much higher will make it more difficult for him, and less productive.

I challenge Abati to refute that his refusal to publish said essay citing a comment on Akala & Fayose as unproven that may lead to The Guardian being sued is untrue.

I have my information from right inside because I am much closer to him than he realizes.

That he is also in touch with some urchins that are writing under the pseudonym of Andy Uba is also very well known to some of us that have taken personal interest in the Anambra debacle. I will name names and incidences if Abati continues in this path of infamy.

As a parting comment, I challenge Abati to claim he is not aware of the author of that thrash on leadership that was published under Andy Uba’s name.

A word is enough for the wise, clean up your act Abati.
