Political Scientist and philanthropist, Hon. Mkpa Oju Uka has expressed disappointment with the decision of the Senator representing Abia South, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe to join the governorship race in 2023, saying it runs contrary to an existing Charter of Equity in the state which allows rotational governorship position.

Speaking on ABN TV's Political Perspective on Tuesday, Hon. Mkpa Oju Uka said Sen. Abaribe, a former Deputy governor in Abia cannot be clamouring for the South-East to be allowed to rule the country in 2023 and at the same time undermine an existing arrangement that allows power to rotate around the three geopolitical zones in the state.

He said Sen. Abaribe has remained a diehard supporter and advocate of rotational leadership in the state and national level, wondering why he decided to join the race when his Abia South Senatorial District at the moment holds the governorship position.

"He can always express his mind as a politician and as an individual but he knows it's a wrong step to take, otherwise you take Abia back and that will create a crisis.

"For me it's a disappointment. You are clamouring for a zoning system for the South-East to be given an opportunity and it can be you.

"In the other way, even if they don't, you may be the Vice President and you have the capacity to be one.

"Then you're coming back to your state and you are now abandoning the zoning system, the equity system which you have spoken many times passionately about as a Senator.

"That is unbelievable, that you can be advocating for one thing at the national level and going contrary to the same thing at the state level. So it's a joke" he said.

You can not satisfy Nigerian politicians.

This man is talking about a charter of equity that has made Abia State the most poorly governed state in Nigeria since 1999.

Abia, just like Imo State, needs to be rescued at this point because it represents everything wrong with the Nigerian state. Alex Otti should be given the opportunity to rework Abia State.

You are very wrong. It is infact, the Charter of Equity that has kept the polity there stable, despite the misgovernance.

Everyone knows ordinarily it should head to a particular zone..The Otti you call is from the Zone where it should be headed next.

The Imo you call don't follow any Charter of Equity as one Zone has produced the Gov in 20/24 years, how far?

Abaribe intends to contest because he shares the same LGA as the outgoing Gov, who is going to the Senate in 2023.

Otti has no levels in APC.

Q

Ok

Best decision of his life.

Fools, I wonder why they can't emulate Anambra state. They don't do zoning but competition.

Obiano Vs Obi Vs Soludo who will develop the state more and not zoning.

If Enyinnia Abaribe can develop Abia, please give him the mantle. Oh God, when did ibos adopt this Hausa mentality?

Abaribe is going nowhere, APC will definitely take Abia in 2023

E be like Abia people no dey tire to suffer... rotational or good governance. Choose 0ne

IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM ABIA STATE, JUST KNOW THAT ABIA STATE DONT HAVE GOVERNOR SINCE RETURN OF DEMOCRACY

Hmmmmm
Naija politicians are shameless

Confused species. They want democracy and zoning at the same time. Zoning is nepotism, and by such definition is not democracy

The same Abaribe who has been a staunch advocate of rotation of presidency at the national level. Back home he is against it at the state level

Politicians are greedy. Believe they love you at ur own peril

The best should contest

I wonderoooo

Only zoneB would agree to zone offices in a democracy. Hope Abaribe can come clean up the state of Abia.

Everybody hypocrite

Mediocre, so he should not contest so that you can have another 8yrs of madness.

So that's why he was busy supporting IPOB since

You are rejecting a sound leader because of zoning!
No be juju be that?

It's extremely easy to fool Abians on a general note.

They deserve someone like Abaribe.

Just insult Yorubas, Buhari and Tinubu.... 8 years for sure!

At this present situation in Abia or Nigeria in General , it has been proven that all past leaderships are useless and unproductive.

After shouting ipob and biafra all over the place, he turns around to do the exact opposite.
