When Prof. Uche Ikonne was the vice chancellor of Abia State university, he was so greedy that he converted the entire institution to his family business. His son ,Chike was the one in charge of printing examination booklets in the entire university throughout Ikonne’s five years reign - that was one of the contracts used to syphon millions from the school coffers apart from their lliodant outsource firm.

A medical doctor so to say printing examination booklets for an institution. What a wonder.

Same Uche Ikonne introduced Wifi levy in Abia State polytechnic and handed same over to his son to manage and syphon funds as well.

Those who are projecting the man to be Abia governor do not know him too well. I pity those of our people who are supporting a rat out of naivety to oversee a meat in the basket.

In our local colloquium, there is this adage that says, “ there is no problem in giving the monkey water, where the problem lies is in retrieving the cup from the monkey after the deal.”

Prof. Uche Ikonne has no good track record as a public servant. He has never done anything so perfectly in his entire years in public service apart from embezzlement of funds - that’s his area of specialization.

Abia is already in a comatose to be left in the hand of a grumpy squanderer who would finally strangle the State before throwing the carcass to the vultures to feast on.

Shine your eyes, Ndi Abia.
