Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, on Monday said doesn’t drink, talk more of getting drunk.
Ikpeazu then described Senator Smart Adeyemi as a mad man.
Ikpeazu spoke as 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” noted that there was no need to begrudge a mad man.
Ikpeazu was responding to Senator Adeyemi who called him a “drunkard” on the floor of the Senate last week.
The governor 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.”
