Wide jubilation erupted across Abia State yesterday following the citizens’ realization that Chief Theodore Ahamefula Orji who had superintended over the near collapse of the state in the past eight years would be leaving office today.

The jubilation was spontaneous, from Ukwa East to Arochukwu, Owerrinta to Umunneochi; from traders to artisans, from government workers to pensioners; from taxi drivers/keke operators to barrow pushers; from teachers to students and from market women to labourers, it was the same story of jubilation that Orji was finally leaving office today.

It was merriment galore in must parts of the state yesterday as people gathered in groups at joints and some other public places to celebrate the exist of a man they said had brought the state on its knees. Some people out of happiness drank themselves to stupor.

At Ohafia, one of those who was seen around 5.00pm yesterday drinking and celebrating with his friends and who gave his name simply as Kalu said they were celebrating the exist of a man who made them to groan in pain and anguish in the past eight years.

Kalu said no sane man in Abia State would not be happy Orji was leaving the seat of power today, not when he abandoned the state to its fate in the area of infrastructure with bad roads dotting the landscape that today Abia is among the lest developed in the country despite the fact it is an oil producing state.

According to him, “Anybody who does not celebrate the exit of T.A Orji does not love this state. He left the state prostrate all the eight years he was on the saddle.

“From where do we start to access him that we will not celebrate his exit so that the state could see light again? It is in the areas of infrastructure cum rehabilitation and building of roads include grading of rural roads, payment of workers salary and payment of pensioners’ emoluments or provision of water and electricity?”

He said the best thing was to celebrate that the man who ruined the state for the past eight years was leaving and that they were praying that the state never produced such governor again, now or in the future.

A resident of Umuahia the state capital, Uke Eriji who was among those celebrate the exit of Orji in a beer parlour on Aba Road said what they did was to tell the world that they are not happy with the out-going governor, though he is their son.

“How can we be happy with him if after serving eight years as governor, Umuahia his birth place remains a glorified village. I went to Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital and when I came back, I discovered that Orji did practically nothing for us.

Eriji said that under the watch of Orji, mountains of garbage took over the streets of Umuahia which he said was not heard off when Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu was the governor. He stressed that it was not for nothing that they gave the pungent odour which emit from the refuse, ‘Ochendo perfume’.

It was the same celebration galore in Ukwa as one of the youths who was celebrating the exit of T.A Orji said as an oil producing area, the out-going governor did not site a single project throughout his eight years rule and said anybody who would not celebrate as he is leaving office, is an enemy of the area.

“During the administration of Dr. Orji Uzor, Abia State Government constructed the 76 kilometre Owaza/Obehie/Azumini road. But when T.A Orji came, he neither constructed any road nor rehabilitated the one built by his predecessor that today, our people are passing through hell and that is why we are happy that such a man that made us to suffer in the mist of plenty is leaving office.

In Aba, some youths gathered in their numbers to celebrate the exit from office of a man that made them to regret living in the city. Reports say the youths danced round some streets while at the close of business yesterday, many beer parlours in the city were filled to capacity as people Ochendo’s exit from Government House.

According to one of them who wouldn’t want his name in print, “I have lived in the city for 30 years; Aba has not had it so bad in the past eight years. While we pray that the in-coming governor will take corrective measures to put things right in the city and the state because many things went wrong, we pray we never experience the type of bad government like the one led by T.A Orji again”.

Ike Eze from Umunneochi said it was celebration galore in the area as people gathered in beer parlours to celebrate the exit T.A Orji who he said not only failed the people of Umunneochi woefully in his eight years misrule, but also showed great hatred and disrespect to their illustrious son, late Senator Uche Chukwumereije even in death.

“Everybody in our area is happy that the man (T.A Orji) is going. He did a lot of damages to Abia in general and Umunneochi in particular. If we will for give him for not doing anything for us, we will not forgive him for what he did to our illustrious son, the late senator Uche Chukwumereije.

“When you look at the roads he did not build, water and electricity he did not provide throughout the state, workers he disengaged from service, salaries that run into several months he did not pay, pensioners that did not receive their pensions month in, month out and the general decay of the state, one should but be happy he is leaving”.
