Ngige’s time to go? As citizens boo, stone him in Awka

Anambra citizens may have sounded a stern note of warning that his time and days are over, to their once darling libero and deliverer from the shackles of money politics, gangsterism and godfatherism, Senator Chris Ngige’s, when they pelted him with pure water at a political rally on Friday.

The senator who drove into the Ayom N’okpala Primary School arena for the maiden rally on the platform of the newly registered All Progressives Congress APC in frenzy was ironically not allowed to talk when the time came. It was scheduled for him to unveil his Anambra 2014 GUBER ambition

Though reasons for the unruly behavior of the party members were not made formal, it was gathered that the recent comments of the former governor and now the senator representing ANAMBRA Central zone on the raging controversy between the recent deportation of some Igbos from Lagos by the Lagos State Governmnet.

Ngige’s was widely reported as having defended and excused the action of the Gov Babtunde Fashola-led Lagos state government.

APC members in the state, especially the youth were said to have been bitter with him over the stand he took. Though they also blamed Gov Peter Obi for the entire imbroglio, pointing out that Obi had never lived up to expectation in protecting and or defending the indigenes of the state whenever it matters.

They noted that Obi was always the last to come to the rescue of ANAMBRA people in other troubled states or areas. That it was same during the spate of bombings, retrenchment of non indigenes by unfriendly state governments.

Dr Godson Igwe from Awka Etiti who spoke to journalists at the rally ground on behalf of the APC youth wing said they have privately advised him to drop his ambition for the younger ones, and to concentrate in his duties at the senate.

The youth according to Igwe was also not happy that the only time Ngige’s remembers anyone was at election time, but once after that he disappears.

He pointed out that there are young and capable ones like Senator Annie Okonkwo, Goddy Ezeemo in APC,, Uche Ekwunife, Willy Obianor, Chinedu Idigo in APGA, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, Joseph Nwanueze in Labour Party, Walter Ubaka Okeke, Tony Nwoye and Charles Odunukwe in PDP who are now aspiring to take over from Peter Obi.

“Therefore lets sound a note of warning to the sit tight leaders cos we are around and watching”, Chief Igwe emphasized.

Many we’re also unhappy that he planned the rally on a day the PDP was having their own rally in same Awka, a ploy they saw as tactical to stop them from participating in robust politicking in the state as done in other developed democracies around the world.

The reason is obvious: sins of the fathers. He shud go to Ogun State & contest.

He defended the deportation at the detriment of his political ambition.

Why stoning them? So, none of those youths b get gun?

Primitive behavior ...primitive people..

ngige u sold ur popularty eya

Ĵΰ§τ̅ like Abdulfatai Ahmed of Kwara state was stoned d other day.Dis process is called operation stone ur failed leader.

Not dissappointed

Those easterners who naively submit themselves to westerners, should expect to be disappointed at the very last minute.

Sorry Ngige but Fashola sealed your faith, just like Awolowo to Ojukwu.
Ndo.

Why can't we make this place as heaven is this place we live, oh my God oh allah save Nigeria and America, we are drowning in a big ocean of calamities. Life is too short to hate, love your neighbour. W need peace and unity.


Youth are the leaders of tomorrow, Give us the chance and Nigeria will be the best country on earth.

gudugba: Primitive behavior ...primitive people..

When Yoruba people stoned their Governor in kwara state, it wasn't primitive behaviour. Hypocrite

next plzzz

and so forkin wot?

Let him go and rest... In a state of more than 1million citizens. Give other the chance to contribute their own quota... DR IFEANYI UBAH OF LABOUR PARTY ALL THE WAY

This is really serious. Just hope it'll not escalate into something else.

Look at what APC has caused for this man! Look @ hw somebody has jeopardize the efforts of these actors behind the merger. Fashola, appology does nt mean u re weak or wrong,it simply means you value wat is @ stake most. Before a fall comes pride.Now I guess its too late to do that. Your godfather and Bokoharam commander will never forgive you if this goes beyound expectation.

Y im i readin dis shi.t sef..nxt page!!

Carry the youths along OR a revolution will come... T.B Joshua

Anambra people had done exactly what i expected... I wish there is a way to meet some of these Igbo traitors in Nairaland offline, that would have be a day of lesson 101 to them. Owelle Rochas your days has been numbered in igbo politics. I hope Ngige case can serve as a warning in advance to you sir.

Really?

Na wa ooooo. Bt thought Ngige was popular in Anambra nah.
The youth no wan gree again oooo, frm North to south to east.
The politicians shld better wake up b4 we clear things for their eyes.

As a yoruba in okoro land, I think Ngige should forget this election. He should hold fashola responsible for his failure in the election. The mood of people I have seen here in Onitsha is not so good for Ngige to fly this time.

sen. ngige shud ve reserved whatever comment he wud have wanted to make concerning the deportation. Anyway,a man can fall either by fate or design.Do not be in a haste to lay hands on another man,cos u may b a partaker of his sins.

They 4got all he did 4 them durin his tenure as their governor. If de like let them use catapult on him . If he wants 2 b there as their next govnor, he wil. Politicians ar d same.....

Ngige had so much potential. Until he sided with Fashola on this deportation issue.

Now he has brought shame upon himself.

Where is bushwailo that told us that 99 percent of anambra peeps are behind this dwarf?

nna meen... this news no funny at all.

Nice once....ngige is an efulefu that should contest in Kano or Ondo state and not in Anambra...

If u reject Ngige's selfless service this time, on flimsy reasons, then Ngige shud jus wait till 2015 wen APC Wíℓℓ make him Minister of Health! Ngige would have bn your Messiah,I was passing thru Onitsha wen I stop over on my way to Aba, I felt sorry for that state, no single tarred major street road! Too bad! Ngige leave them to remain backward all in the name of APC,wit or without u, APC has come to stay, only Kano state is more than the entire east in terms of population, so wot re we sayin? Why d braggin?

one state less for APC to contest in , lets se how apc will win the other south east states
