Governor T.a Orji Booed, Pelted With Sachet Water by sojiboy(m): 2:27pm On Apr 16, 2015
Gov Theodore Orji was again booed and pelted with sachet water on Tuesday at Onu-Imo Market at the boundary between Abia and Imo states.

He was on his way to Owerri Airport, en route to Abuja, when traders, who heard the siren of his motorcade trooped out to the road, armed with bags of sachet water. They pelted the motorcade with the sachets of water, jeered and booed at him, shouting, ‘’Onye-oshi vote, Onye-oshi vote.’’

According to APGA officials, Governor Orji is going to Abuja to go and finish what he started having having successfully compromised those in Umuahia to the extent that the Returning Officer, Prof Benjamin Ozumba, in concert with the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Selina Oko, reversed his earlier pronouncement cancelling the results of Obingwa, Osisioma and Isialangwa North Local Government Areas of the state.

While announcing the cancellation during the collation of results on Sunday, Ozumba cited violence and reports of the international observers that monitored the polls in the affected areas as his reasons for the cancellation.

Surprisingly, after the visit by the governor, who led chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, including the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olise Metuh, the Minister of State for Defence, Retd. Col. Austin Akobundu, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe and Chief Onyema Ugochukwu, the cancellation was immediately reversed by the Returning Officer.

Those who are close to Ozumba, the Returning Officer, conjectured that either of two things might have been responsible for the sudden reversal. One: that Orji may have offered irresistible egunje to the highly esteemed Vice Chancellor of one of Nigeria’s foremost Universities, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) or that the erudite scholar and professor of medicine might have been intimidated and threatened that he might not leave Abia alive should he fail to reverse himself.

The truth is that no election took place in the three local government areas, including Ugwunnagbo and Everyone in Abia state knows this. It is on account of this desperation by Governor Orji who is rascally and shameless hell-bent on stealing the mandate freely given to the governorship candidate of the masses party, APGA, that Abia traders at Onu-Imo trooped out to the road when they heard the siren of Orji’s motorcade.

They booed, jeered and pelted his motorcade with sachet water, calling him ‘’Onye-oshi vote, Onye-oshi vote…’’ (meaning the thief that steals votes).

The traders said that it is highly worrisome that “T.A Orji and his son, Chinedu, could be wasting billions of public funds on INEC to win their elections as legislators and also impose their surrogate on the people, when workers and pensioners are owed several months of their salaries and pensions”.

“They said that ”the billions of naira being lavished by this heartless family is the money meant for the development of Aba and Abia, which Orji abandoned, as well as the payment of salaries of workers and pensioners”.

The traders said that they are confident that God will one day bring Gov Orji to judgment, in or out of office. ”He must answer for his inhumanity to the people of Abia, non-indigenes, traders, teachers, doctors and medical personnel, whose destiny he has toiled with for eight years of his administration,” they said.
