The Akwa Ibom State Redemption Commission
My Friends, my Fans, my Framers and my Followers
By Francis J Sharon
Again as usual, I file this Report from the scene of the ongoing Conflict.....
"For a person to believe this Vision, he must be a genius or a fool"...... adapted from Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel.
Having been chosen the Bearer of God's subsisting Vision for AKS, which comprises both the Agenda and the Plan,, there are at least four identifiable sets of people I have got to traffic through or ferry with, at each stage of my journey to the Throne. And they are:
1. My Friends
2. My Fans
3. My Framers
4. My Followers
1. My Friends
Those who believe in me but do not believe in the Vision
These are My Friends, the Gifts of the Creator.
They might have heard about the Vision from me or through third parties, or by the grapevine, but perhaps they do not have sufficient knowledge and understanding of it. And thus far, it appears none of them has!
For them, owing to the incredibility of the Vision which they dub a pure stranger to the corridors of AKS power structure, it should not settle on my pedigree and frame. For instance, the Vision of becoming the State Governor without going through the electoral process, is nothing but a wild goose chase, a mirage, a fruitless gamble, and something that ought not to be contemplated upon by any rational mind.
Given the above, then this pool of well-wishers considers the Vision a dangerous expedition for me. And knowing the recurring antecedents of ambitious ventures of other people into political Governance, they wish me out of it, lest it consume me or change my course in life. As such, while their belief in me is unshakable, they feel I should get into something else other than this Vision.
These folks are the people who have known me pretty well, or they have heard of me and my previous engagements and endeavours. Most of them had been my school mates, former colleagues at work, associates in business, church members, physical and media friends, admirers from far and near, and a host of relatives, et al. They exist in their thousands all over the place.
Though unbelieving at this time, but they shall eventually be converted when the Vision is established for fulfillment. And they shall be happy to be part of it, because it is through me.
Ultimately, this clan of Friends shall become my Followers.
My take: they are in my mind.
2. My Fans
Those who do not believe in me or in the Vision
These are My Fans, the Vulnerables from the Creator
These are good people of God who have been frustrated and disillusioned by the daily issues from the stables of those in Power over us. Their hopes and aspirations in the prevailing systems of things have always crashed out leaving them with despondency and heartbreak. As such they have given up on everything that pertains to the public discourse on leadership. And they conclude that if the high and mighty could falter and fail, then who again can be believable and which Vision is authentic.
Most of them do not know me, and may even wish not to know me for this obvious reason. Dismally, the lingering unresolved issues of our time have driven them into circumstantial vulnerability.
They form the large invisible audience of indifference everywhere. They are engrossed in ignorance and shut up by unmet needs. But they are not the problem, and when the Vision is established for fulfillment, they shall be sorted out into either the Framers or the Followers.
My take: they shall have my mind.
3. My Framers
Those who do not believe in me but believe in the Vision
These are My Framers, the Agents of the Fallen angels
They are many in number and have been selected for a special assignment, being planted by the rebels to derail or scuttle the Vision. But first they disguise as believers of the Vision whereas they are not. Some may even be around me.
They do not know me from Adam but are pure recruits sometimes from everywhere, during the incubation and passage of the Vision. They appear committed at first but their commitment only hoodwinks their nefarious intentions. Whenever they infiltrate my camp, they use every opportunity to divide the rank and take side to betray the Cause. They feign love for the Vision but reject the requisite knowledge to understand the Vision.
They have opinions for every issue and their tacit modus operandi is to inject their opinions into the Vision as substitutes, dilute the Vision and corrupt it. Failing this, they inflexibly find fault and complain on every issue.
They show little or no regards for me as the Vision Bearer. And, like the Biblical sons of Korah, they question the veracity of the communication of the Vision by me, and wish it could have been by another person. They are the suspected conduits for the Vision leaks.
They shall hardly be converted from framing calumnies and deceits. And even if they come to work with me, they shall not feel comfortable because it is me.
They are ever looking for loopholes to puncture the Vision and bring it down so as to bring me down. They openly pretend to believe in the Vision but in reality they covertly work against it. These folks are the agents of the rebels to contend the Vision.
The Truth is that nobody can believe the Vision and discard the Vision Bearer, because the Vision Owner had inseparably fused the Vision into the Vision Bearer.
They are the oppositions that must be ruled over, subdued and bound under the Throne of the New Government.
My take: they are out of my mind.
4. My Followers
Those who believe in me and believe in the Vision
These are My Followers, the Planting of the Creator
They are the wholesome and unreserved believers. Some had known me before now, while others have come to know me only through this Vision. But the common thread among them is that they know the Vision is from the Creator for our time.
They have been part of the covet and overt messengers of Heaven, who have tarried in their private estates all along, waiting for the Vision to birth and to unfold. Quietly, they have become unalloyed spontaneous witnesses of the Vision wherever they find themselves. And in response, the Vision Owner has repeatedly imbued them with clear evidences and proofs that the Vision is authentic for our time.
Those who have physically shown up are few in number, because the Vision is yet secret. But they are the Vision's sell-outs who stand tall for it. Curiously, they are not fair-weathered. And in support of the Vision, they are the risk-takers who are willing to give up everything for the Vision to work. And when the Vision tarries they also continue to tarry with the Vision to the end, regardless, and see to it that it is established for fulfillment.
They do not volunteer for the Vision and identify with it in expectation of personal positions or for grabs. But to stand with the Vision Bearer and carry the burden of True Leadership for the larger interest of all. By their testimonies they vindicate the Vision Owner in His Creation, that human excellence which had been His desire is altogether achievable.
Amazingly, they do not have to wait till they know all the details, but believe it implicitly, just because the Vision is borne by me.
My take: I give them my mind.
As often as it is necessary, I cherish and nourish them with the details of the Vision. And whenever the Creator navigates them into my sphere of contact, they unmistakably flow in the Vision and so we easily fall in love.
The Final Resolve
Being called into Divine Leadership for all, I am open to all and shall give equal opportunities to all.
While the Friends shall be converted into Followers, and some Fans are potential Followers, it is obvious that only the Followers and the Framers remain in the permanent blocks of folks who stand for or against the Vision and myself. So ultimately the Followers and Framers are the people I respectively have to work and contend with, in pursuit of this Vision.
Accordingly, of these four sets of people, only those in categories 1 and 4 can be close to me because they are trustworthy. They shall work with me in the New Government, because in their company I feel loved and secured.
And together with them, I shall establish and fulfill the Eternal Purpose of Heaven for Akwa Ibom State, as mandated.
Dear reader, after going through these narratives, it is no more difficult for you to find your level, and henceforth demonstrate that indeed you rightly belong there. And now, be all you may wish to be, but let it be the way you want me to see you from the Throne.
