The Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has said that he could not begrudge a mad man. That was the response he gave Senator Smart Adeyemi for calling him a drunk.
Ikpeazu spoke 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.”
He said the comment credited to Smart Adeyemi does not require any emotional bout since it was made by a mad man.
The governor, who quoted Professor Chinua Achebe, reminisce on the line 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.
