Was Dr. Chuba Okadigbo A Nigerian Political Prophet? by ugotex85: 6:50pm On May 24, 2015
By Ikechukwu Emeka Onyia.

Yesterday , I met the Distinguished Senator representing Anambra North Senatorial zone in the Senate , Senator Margery Chuba-Okadugbo who is also the wife to the maverick politician and former Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria ,Senator Chuba Okadigbo (Oyi of Oyi) at her Abuja home.
She took me on educative intellectual political journey . As a product of Chuba Okadigbo political Philosophy and a wife to the great Chuba Okadigbo she is better positioned to talk about Chuba Okadigbo.Thus i paid 100% attention .
The topic was Nigeria, Ndi Igbo and Chuba Okadigbo's political actions and inactions .
I left there a better person.Better informed and educated .
Before leaving , the Senator and wife of the Political IROKO called Chuba Okadigbo gave me a gift which I so much cherished : a book on Chuba Okadigbo titled
"Chuba Okadigbo: A Collection Of Writings " published in 2004 ( a year after the death of Chuba Okadigbo ).
On coming back same evening , I started reading the book . On Chapter 6 starting from page 311 , Sub-titled :
"TIME FOR CHANGE: ALL HANDS ON DECK!"
Which was the Text of a letter of intimation to Nigerians on Dr.CHUBA OKADIGBO's presidential ambition in 2003.
I picked something in the above chapter ,
that makes me question if CHUBA OKADIGBO was a Nigerian Political Prophet considering the political reality of 2015 Presidential election?
May I quote Chuba Okadigbo:

[b]"...I know that some mass Exodus from the PDP is underway. And I urge the members and leaders of the ANPP to keep the doors of Liberty,Reconciliation and Harmony wide open.
The PDP experiment of winner-take-all and to give crumbs only to those who will break their parties are over. Let us all move in tandem to a new Nigeria, where there will be Life more abundant for all of us.
Current developments in our country have made CHANGE imperative .Indeed, a hurricane of CHANGE now blows across our dear country .
So let there be CHANGE of authoritarian, direction-less leadership .
CHANGE from presidential tourism and governmental laxity, while pervasive poverty , massive unemployment, insecurity of life and property , riots and crises , haunt our nation .
CHANGE from the personalization and trivialization of power to the use of power for the maximization of the general welfare of the people .
The CHANGE of which we speak requires CHANGE of will, Strategy, tactics ,instruments and guards ..."[/b]
........................................

I am of the view that APC lifted their CHANGE slogan from Chuba Okadigbo's presidential campaign slogan.
A man that PDP did not take his warning of danger serious.
From my view,the greatest contributor to PDP loss of Power is Obasanjo and followed Presidents who always hijacked the party away from the party-elected leaders which most time turned the party administrators into Ceremonial Leaders of the party .
Let the Calculation for new order start now.
Did PDP learn any lesson from her past success and failure?
Is APC ready to do it differently?
Will APC have the Mental Capacity to convert the theoretical CHANGE to Practical Developmental driven CHANGE?
I pray that we learn not to fail Nigerians again as a people!

CHUBA OKADIGBO lives on ...
God Bless Nigeria!

You're right dear. Nigeria would have become greater if men like him had lived longer.
For your question, no. I am into IT.
