My Candidature Will Bring Victory For Abia PDP – Dr Uche Ogah by engrezebuiro: 9:00am On Jul 04, 2014 |
Billionaire business mogul and oil magnate, Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah (USO), on Tuesday, June 17, 2014, ended the speculations about his governorship ambition. On that bright, sunny afternoon, the lanky chattered accountant and President of Masters Energy took a bold step by visiting the Abia State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat on Finbarrs’ Road, Umuahia. There, he informed members of the party executive committee (EXCO) of his intention to contest for the governorship position of the state come 2015. He was accompanied on the visit by notable Abia political figures, including Chief Empire Kanu, a former Nigerian Ambassador to Argentina, Chief Emeka Atuma, a former member of House of Representatives, Dr Maxwell Ndukwe Adindu, a former Minority Leader of Abia State House of Assembly and a former member of the state executive council, amongst others. Also present were teeming members of five Pro-Uche Ogah groups. As the crowd settled down, a man simply introduced as Okosisi (Iroko tree) Obingwa, was invited to address the audience. Ironically, Obingwa, hypothetically, parades the highest number of potential governorship hopefuls. Since the state governor, Chief Theodore Orji, hinted that it would be just to allow Abia South senatorial zone (Ukwa/Ngwa political bloc) to produce the next governor of the state, 98 per cent of those being speculated to be interested in grabbing the exalted seat come from Obingwa. But Okosisi dismissed them, saying that Ogah, who comes from Uturu in Isuikwuato local government area -which is in Abia North Senatorilal zone, was a better material than all the gladiators from his home council. He said most of them have held public and elective offices which they failed to use to improve the welfare of their people, adding that they would not do better if trusted with the task of governing the state. He posited that Ogah, a philanthropist of immense proportions and dimensions, would take Abia to greater heights. He said Abia PDP was lucky to have Ogah in its fold, stressing that had he declared his interest to vie for the exalted governorship seat on the platform of another party, PDP would have found him a hard nut to crack. “Give power to Uche Ogah and it will be well with Abia, it will be well with us,” he submitted. Next, Ambassador Empire Kanu, introduced as leader of the Uche Ogah delegation, was invited to address the gathering. “We are here,” he said, “because of Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah. We have come to let you know of his aspiration to contest for governorship in 2015 in Abia state.” Kanu continued “His name is divine because he has not been entirely chosen by chance but by epistemological origin. Dr. Uchechukwu Ogah has a divine calling to take over the mantle of leadership from our extra-ordinary performing governor of our state, Dr. T.A.Orji.” Inviting his principal to personally state their mission himself, Kanu said “I will want to at this point to invite our principal to speak for himself and by himself. I have the singular honour to call on the President of Masters Energy Group, with 13 subsidiary companies, a chartered accountant, an acclaimed banker, an astute business mogul in the class of Dangote, a philanthropist of the highest order, a Christian, an Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON), the sensational young man from Uturu in Isuikwuato LGA, Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, to speak to you.” Amidst a thunderous ovation, Ogah took it from there, thrilling the crowd with his sonorous voice, eloquence and thoughtful logic. “I am most delighted, most humbled to be here today,” he began. “Today is part of what we do; we have been going around consulting. On the day of our declaration, we will let you know. This is just part of our routine consultation. And for the fact that we are here, we have come to consult with the members of the exco of PDP in Abia state. And I want to say, thank you for the opportunity you have given to us. Thank you for receiving us. We are sorry for inconveniencing you with a large crowd of people that are here but we appreciate you because in your normal self as a father, you will accommodate everybody. So, we want to thank you so much and God bless you.”
