I almost slept thru out the whole narration. The faith of Abians is in their hands. If they want to suffer anoda 7 years of neglect na dem sabi.

I am only giving a report on what I have seen, happen in Abia State so far. Judging from the real scenario, the incumbent will stop at nothing to ensure his man wins. These thing has happened in the past and Abia Lawmakewrs did nothing. Just last Friday, they all matched to endorse T. A Orji's option. I grew up in Abia State but I'm only eligible to vote in my state, Imo State.

I am using this medium to call on Abians to ensure their vote counts

doctokwus:
I just wonda. U don't like d candidate "imposed" on u,u have options: it's either u organize a protest and get ur candidate elected if u av d numbers or u vote in anoda candidate. Its annoying to read an adult complain of imposition wen u av options bfore u.

It is a pity that most of our elders and parents have sold away their conscience, pride and dignity and have chosen to betray and trade the future of their children for mere money, positions that they are being offered now.
Judging from the results released, the Ad-hoc delegate congress produced 95 percent ward delegates, who are loyalist to the incumbent. Yet, we waited and waited that day but no ward congress was held. In fact, before the day, ward members were told that the congress has been cancelled and they should not bother going to the congress ground for the election. Little did they know that they had already compiled their list. Abia State Lawmakers saw this happen but never reacted.

Just last weekend, we waited and waited for the House of Assembly primaries to commence but no official showed up and later we heard that results have been announced with 99 percent votes, being given to the incumbent’s candidates. These lawmakers still stayed tongue tied.
The past 7 and half years of Abia State under the PDP leadership of T.A Orji, has been disastrous and now we are going to experience another 8 years with elements of T.A Orji all over, except if PDP dosen’t win.

Ochendo who is in his 70’s is expected to make amends in his life and his society, become a chieftain who ensures the security and future of his people, but he has chosen to rubbish his legacy by dragging positions with new era politicians, a position which he might not live to see it’s end.

Okezie Ikpeazu whom is the incumbent’s choice has on the other hand surrendered his destiny, freedom and self-will into the hands of heartless and conscienceless lawmakers. Just for the sake of Power, which will pass away, he has pledged everything including his freedom to the allegiance of T.A Orji in order to give him assurance that he will never do to him, what he (ochendo) did to Orji Uzor Kalu. He has also pledge his family’s freedom and a three quarter fraction of the Abia State’s allocation/tax payers money to be remitted consistently to these lawmakers, for the support he gets from them now. What then will happen to the aim of democracy?
What about men like Martin Luther Jnr. and Nelson Mandela who were outspoken enough to speak for the freedom of their people? Today we celebrate them as legends and their legacy remains forever. Does it mean that we don’t have any person with a quarter of the courage as them in Abia State?

The truth is that Abia State Lawmakers have turned selfish and care about themselves for now. As hungry as they are, they seek for that candidate who they can control because of the role they think they have played in giving him a political position and Okezie Ikpeazu is falling for their manipulations.

The only strong contender left now is Uche Ogah, who has been a sole sponsor of his campaign and political ambition. His political Agenda has a lot of the progress of Abia State in view and judging from the impressions that he has made in the grassroots in the past 4 years, we can say that he seriously want to serve Abians. These Law makers have evaluated their Stake in this man and concluded that if they allow free and fair primaries, Uche Ogah is in a better position to win and if he wins, they will not have any control over the government of Abia State. If that is the case, they will go hungry.

With this simple analysis, we have concluded that Abia State Lawmakers are cowards, hungry, lazy, selfish and they don’t care whatever happens to the rest of the people. Let us take a look at Enugu and Imo State politics, stand and fight for the future of our children.

It's just like catching a hungry man and making him indebted u. Ikpeazu will remain in that bond though It's still early for him to set himself free but power and money can do a lot of things. I agree with u on Uche Ogah. He has seen it all, God has bless him so much. Money will not make him become a person's servant but a people's servant. I'm sure he will do well for Abia people

The height of godfatherism in Abia State have taken a new level as the primary position has been given out. This news was exclusively made known to us by a concerned non Abian. The seats which are to be voted have already been given to specific people so as to continue spoiling Abia State. God forbid!

I write this with a bitter heart and I ask you please to share and preach a true democracy. For the future and for our children.

Okezie Ikpeazu who Charles Ogbonna sent to shrine is Governor.
Ukpai Agwu and Ude Oko are dragging for Deputy Gov.
Ikuku, T A. Orji's first son is Speaker.
Chijioke Nwakodo is Chief of Staff.
Charles Ogbonna is party chairman.

Does Ochendo know this?
These men are spoiling his LEGACY

Pls share

They blamed Orji Uzor Kalu and his Mother, now the same family wants to impose a crony and continue the evil godfatherism.

For how long will the suffering of Abia people last?
Chinedu Orji(Ikuku), his father(Gov.T.A Orji) and Charles Ogbonna have advanced plot with their cult to impose their puppet;Okezie Ikpeazu as governor of Abia just to hold on to power and continue to loot the treasury.

The same Ikpeazu who failed to rid Aba of dirt has now been given N200million by Ikuku to start his late campaign. Where did he get the money if not our looted money, Who will save Abia? Rise up now and resist Ikuku and his gang.

Abia is too big for Ikuku and his father to pocket,just because he wants to become the Speaker and his father,Senator of the Fed. Rep. Abia Arise!We are not slaves.The time is now!
Pls share and let us together stop this from happening again

hushmail: who is uche ogah?

What is his pedigree?

Truly abia is a mess bt caused by abians

i recall in 2011 aba boys refuse to vote just cos there was no candidate they could identify wt

now Ihejirika is d most promising to lead Abia to d promised land

all dis knocks he is receiving r from enemies of Abia progress

support Ihejirika 4 better Abia

You just Google Uchechukwu sampson Ogah or Masters Energy, ask about him in Isuikwuato LGA, he is a grassroot person and has done tremendously for his LGA. Visible changes, better still visit his home town Uturu. You wil unconsciously wish for a person like that to govern Abia

asha80: you cant force one to become what he is not interested in...the other person i am interested in is alex otti but my fear is he might not be well known at the grassroots...NB i dont think there is anything wrong with this ogah guy...you can read his profile and i do not think he has held political office before...he is actually more on the ground than ihejirika.

Following the announcement of the incumbent governor of Abia State, Gov. T A. Orji, under the platform of Abia State PDP to impose on Abians, an Abia south governor, I and a lot of Abians, see that the remaining bones of Abia State will soon be consumed by dogs.

From the drama that unfolds each day, it's no longer a news that some person's have been brainwashed into believing that the problem of Abia State, is that it has not produced an Abia South governor.
Aba is part of Abia South, will an Abia South governor under the, imposition, influence, command and control of the incumbent, transform Aba and Abia State?
My point here is this, the issue with Abia State is not where the governor comes from, but who will act that role of a governor truthfully.
From Abia south guber race, we have,

Barr F N Nwosu-
hasn't held any known political position in Abia State.

Barr Paul Ananaba-
a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, hasn't held any political position yet in Abia State

Sen Enyinnaya Abaribe-
Abia State's Deputy Governor after Orji Uzor Kalu's 1999 election to the Governorship. Impeached in 2000and 2003 He. was elected to the national Senate in 2007, Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Affairs, member of the Committees on the Independent National Electoral Commission, Senate Services, and Works. In October 2007, as Ralph Uwazuruike, leader of the banned secessionist organization Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), was on trial for treason, Abaribe and six other southeastern senators protested at the Federal High Court in Lagos to demand his release He was re-elected for Abia South senate, in the April 2011 election. He is currently the chairman Senate Committee on Media and Publicity

Chief Eric Acho Nwakanma-
in 1999, Abia State House of Assembly, represented Obingwa East State Constituency. In 2003, re-elected and subsequently named Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly. He served as the 4th and then the 6th Deputy Governor of Abia State, from 2006 to 2007 under Governor Orji Uzor Kalu and again under Governor Theodore Orji from august 2010 to 2011. In April 2013 President Jonathan appointed him as Chairman of the Board of National Neuro Psychiatry Hospital, Enugu.

In 1999 he was briefly the political adviser to Orji Uzor Kalu, governor of Abia State. He represented Abia State for two terms as commissioner at the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, appointed Minister of Labour on 6 April 2010,

Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu-
was the General Manager of the Abia State Passengers Integrated Manifest and Safety Scheme, ASPIMS, Deputy Director General, Abia State Environmental Protection Agency, ASEPA, Aba Zone.

The profiles of these illustrious sons of Abia South is robust and what have they done? We have expected that Abia State or Aba alone get a face lift, from the people who are natives on Aba, even from those who haven't held any political positions.

For years, almost all of them have held key positions in Abia State and Nigeria and yet their people cannot say one tangible thing, they have done for them.

I will restate my point again. It is not where the governor comes from that matter but who will be the governor truthfully.
It is very easy, yet too difficult for some people. Very few ordinary people, form ordinary places, have hardly held any political positions in Abia State but have proved themselves worthy.

I will like to introduce you again to Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah. The name rings a bell. This man is not from Abia South but Isuikwuato LGA

In the midst of all this political activities, this man though have not held any political position at all, has distinguished himself. He proved that you don't need a political position to work for your people.

His runs Masters Energy Group, with over 6000 employees, education sponsorship for every child in his community, small scale business sponsorship to every youth and widow in his community. He has also built over 50 houses for homeless people around him and constructed some major roads.

Through the Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah Foundation, schools and communities at different places, all over nigerian has seen some level of improved.

Therefore Abians, friends and we'll wishers of Abia State, let's not allow this zoning matter to make us loose the one person whom have been tried and tested. We must embrace this philanthropist, for a better Abia.

Considering the Abia State's charter of Equity, it allows rotation of Governors office withing the zones in Abia State and isuikwuato district but powers that have been in control have abused this charter.

Even if the charter isn't considered, we must note that since the creation of Abia State, no person from Isuikwuato district, has ever held any key political position in Abia State. The best they have gotten is either a commissioner or member, house of representative, which can obviously not be taken away from every zone.
It has always been a Bende, Umuahia and one time Afikpo governor with Abia South deputy or house of rep. Speakers. Are they now trying to tell us that they will clean up the mess this time?

This doesn't mean that Isuikwuato is considered a minority in Abia State but the Isuikwuato people, hoped there would have been an application of common sense in the political affairs of Abia State.
Finally, good people, any person that wish well for his people will not go about fighting for Abia South or any other zone, to produce a governor but must fight a good fight, for a good person to be the governor of Abia State, regardless of which part of the state he comes from.

God has blessed us with a man like Uchechukwu Ogah and the one thing this man will want to leave behind in this world is Legacy and good name. We must at this time be part of a history in the making.

Onye Chi mere eze, mmadu apughi ina ya

Onye nwere nti, ya nuru

Ka anyi jiri ehihie cchowa ewu ojii

People, the truth has been told already, Abia State is in a mess. Even with all that there are plenty revenues generated from Aba. If we had very good governors, Aba alone would have beat every other states in terms of industrialisation. We have seen a man like Uchechukwu Ogah, who will make it happen. Watch Out and watch ur back. Thank you our well wishers. This still one Nigeria

THE NEW ABIA STATE

For 23 years of our existence, we can only thank God for his grace. It is only by the grace of God that we are living and surviving through the toils and disappointments from people whom we thought, could make a difference.
Since the creation of Abia State, we have had: Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu and Theodore A. Orji, aka Ochendo, as the custodians/governors of our great. State. And we still thank God for his sustaining grace.

They indeed made a difference, the road that streches from aba/portharcourt/Osisioma express road by ariria junction, that takes you on a short cut into Ariria international market, the road that takes one straight from aba/portharcourt road juction, into cemetry market and the road from osisioma junction into Ahia Ohuru, Ngwa road, portable drinking water and electricity, is no more.
These are the main roads that connects businessmen and women, from all over Nigeria, into Aba, the commercial city of Abia State.

It is not too much to say, that I ever imagined that within the last 15 years and now, Aba would be a sister city of Lagos, China and Dubai. This would have only be possible if we had custodians, that could make positive difference.
Where is our faith? Where are our elders? What about the states men the lawmakers, vibrant youths, change makers and champions?
They are every where but tongue tied. Their wings seem to have been cut down by some superstitious form of loyalty.

All we have now is fear of some deity, elders, turn trembling slave, law makers and states men, who say sweet things, youth whose vibrancy shines forth as touts.
Just very few of these classes of people still have the fear of God and not man, very few of them, still think about the future of our children and children's children, very few, can speak. But their voices are not loud enough.
There is still one man, a youth, who have had this burden for change, and we noticed.
So we made a clarion call, on people who hate evil and people who could still turn their back at evil, people who crave for change and we are glad they responded. Thank you G51 Apostles, and fellow Abians, who still believe in good.

Though the deed has been done, it is not late. We have a lot in our hands and we must make it work.

The Abian guber race is an Open seat race, we believe that, so the news of imposing an Abia South candidate on Abians, all in the name of zoning, no longer make it an open seat but a challenge.

We want an equal opportunity, a level playing ground and nothing can stop us. Abia State must be the best and this can only come, through
Up-rightness,
Credible/Charismatic,
Humane,
Excellent,
Outstanding,
Gentle,
Admirable,
High-spirited individual,
and it's in one man UCHE OGAH.
In this man, we also found grace, substance, intelligence, truthfulness, pilantrophy, empathy and good will.
There is so much to say, but in him, we see a new Abia State, that every other state will admire and love to associate with.
This can only be possible if we do some simple but important things:
Ensure you are a registered voter
Ensure you vote this credible man
Refuse any forcefully imposed leader
Ensure your vote counts
Spread the news.
The people as one mind will always achieve victory. God bless Abia State.
Long live USO
Long live Abians
Love live Abia State
Long Live Nigeria

pls air you views and share. more pictures

Following the 23 years anniversary celebration of Abia state, my crew and i travelled to Aba to see things for ourselves. indeed we saw.
We saw how our hard earned tax payers money has been lavished on self glory quest for riches.
The state of Aba is deteriorating every passing hour and no one is doing anything about it. we are still managing the remains of Sam Mbakwe's Solid work.
What do we do? you might ask. i'll tell you but before i do, i want Abians with conscience to understand that all the allocations, budgets, salaries given to state governments are tax payers money and we must hold them accountable. We might feel we have no power over them but we still have a good conscience and voices.

They don't do us a favor by working and developing the states. They earn salaries through us so they should work for their money. when one building comes up, they hold a press conference/ foundation laying or closing ceremony.

it so sad the people we also voted in to represent us in the house are not representing well so we must do the right thing.

What we must do is this: ensure we are registered voters, vote the candidate with good credibility, ensure our votes count, use the social media effectively to voice out our mind.

Every sane Aba/Abia resident knows that Aba is the major/highest revenue generating city of Abia state but the level of its detoriation is heartbreaking. WE NEED HELP. May God redeem Abia State. Amen Pls share

the truth is that we are not truthful to ourselves. If every individual that have a comment on this is sincere and can stand infrony of God and repeat what they just have commented, then their conscience can stop hiding the truth.
OUK admitted what he did was wrong. that we appreciate.
The people raining abuses on him is what i dont understand.
Abians are to be moving forward and not dwelling on the past.
so far in this administration, truthfully speaking, we must know that the only revenue generating power house/city in Abia State is Aba. And Aba is the filtiest, degenerated part of Abia State.
Truthfully speaking. i dont know why.
All i see in the picture speaks comment are buldings, not infrastructures and nothing else.
How does one justify true Democracy in Abia State, before God and man.
