Yyeske:
Abia state has always been unlucky when it comes to governance, from Orji Uzor Kalu to T.A Orji and this disaster called Ikpeazu.
Their wahala anyway, two of the aforementioned names were elected senators today and the third name may be elected to join them after his tenure as governor ends too. State assembly headed by the son of T.A Orji, na wah o. What do I know sef because ndi Abia may even elect him as governor when the disaster called Ikpeazu leaves.

Condition of Abia calls for divine intervention

Neminc:
So TA orji son is the speaker in abia? Na wa, it's now a family something

Pathetic!

Osetigo, watching keenly

Only God can deliver Abia from Kerosene Distributors.

Abia always in the news for the wrong reason

Youths under the aegis of 'OUK Patriotic Confederates' have described the Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu as a rare commodity that is affordable by people with class and eyes for quality.

'OUK Patriotic Confederates' in a statement made available to Igbere TV on Monday said despite various plans to stop Kalu from becoming a senator and negative propagandas to sway the minds of voters from voting for him, his people vehemently refused to abandon him as they supported him to clinch the Abia North senatorial seat.

The group further said that Kalu is a strong advocate for one Nigeria and that's why some people have negative impressions about him but despite that, many people still love and cherish him.

On the part of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, the group said Kalu was the first to make a move to broker peace between the federal government and the secessionist group threatening the peace and existence of this country.

According to the group, "Kalu went as far as visiting the secessionist group leader in Kuje prison; a movement that no Igbo political leader, both past and present as at then deemed fit to carry on."

The statement reads in full,

" SENATOR ORJI UZOR KALU - AN EMERGING BELLWETHER OF A NEW NIGERIA."

"The saying that a prophet is not respected or regarded or accepted in his hometown is an old adage that is always at play in the lives of people with sincere intentions."

"Notwithstanding the negative impressions being sold to people about Senator Orji Uzor Kalu as a result of his stand and love for a one united Nigeria, by an insignificant number of people from his tribe, the former governor's good intentions towards his people is still unrelenting and magnanimous as ever."

"It is no false news that the love he is getting from his people greatly outnumbers the hate. Despite various plans to stop him from becoming a senator and negative propagandas to sway the minds of voters from voting for him, his people vehemently refused to abandon him; they supported him to clinch the Ania North senatorial seat. He was massively voted for by his people and he won."

"Inasmuch as Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is a rare commodity that is affordable by people with class and eyes for quality, he is also affordable by all: because just as the water has no enemy, he equally has no enemy (mmiri ewe iro), he flows freely to the nooks and crannies of the good and the bad to quench their thirsts. He is a bridge builder. His antecedents in the past and at present have demonstrated that."

"The OUK Patriotic Confederates is joining forces with Chief Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and other patriotic Nigerians in building a new Nigeria that will promote true peace and true unity."

"He has shown to all that his primary interest is Nigeria first before other interests."

"During the IPOB saga, he was the first to make a move to broker peace between the federal government and the secessionist group threatening the peace and existence of this country."

"He went as far as visiting the secessionist group leader in Kuje prison; a movement that no Igbo political leaders, both past and present as at then deemed fit to carry on."

"Despite insurmountable insults hauled at him by the followers of the secessionist group leader after his visit, he never relented in having several other closed door meetings with the federal government to effect the release of the secessionist leader - a move that later yielded fruit."

"He was among the insignificant number of Igbo leaders(if not the only Ignore leader) that openly condemned the activities of the group without minding the negative consequences his actions may attract on his business and political ambition."

"He was and is still seen as an efulefu (a wayward son) by the members of the secessionist group and their apologists as a result of his stand and love for one Nigeria."

"Nigerians are aware that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is a gospel merchant of "One Nigeria" and a true nationalist that has built bridges across the country by investing businesses worth billions of naira across various states in the southern and northern part of this country. A man who does not believe in one Nigeria will never thread such path."

"Billionaires from different parts of the country have also emerged through him."

"Chief Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is truly an emerging bellwether of a new Nigeria by his constant defense move to foster peace in the country and his sincere submissions towards national issues. He does not entertain an atom of obscured tribal view on the nation's polity, neither does he allow his personal views to adversely affect his views and influence biased disposition towards issues affecting our nation."

"As the present senator representing the good people of Abia North senatorial district, he sees all Nigerians as his constituency and faithfully believes in the unity in our diversity."

"We pray God to continue to guide him and all of us in the OUK Patriotic Confederates in good health of mind and body to enable us build together a peaceful, prosperous, greater and a more united Nigeria. "

The Chief Whip of the Senate, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, has called for equity in the spread of appointments of heads of the major security outfits in the country, particularly the Service Chiefs.

This is as the former governor of Abia State described the controversy generated by the now suspended Ruga settlement policy of the Federal Government as unnecessary.

Fielding questions from newsmen on national issues in Abuja, Friday, Kalu said that appointments of Service Chiefs should be spread across the six geo-political zones in the mode of constitutional provision of one minister per state.

He disclosed that a bill to that effect may come up in the Senate soon as a way of allaying the fears of marginalisation from any segment of the country.

“In terms of appointments because the constitution says that every state should have at least one minister; that is statutory, it is good to also spread the Service Chiefs, which I will like people in the Senate to bring a bill, so we can make a bill that every region must have a Service Chief,” he said .

While the Service Chiefs are the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army of Staff, Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of Air Staff and the Inspector General of Police, heads of strategic security outfits in this context are those of the Department of State Services (DSS), National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and political appointees such as National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Minister of Defence.

The Senate Chief Whip, however, added that inasmuch as appointees in such category are more or less personal staff of the president, Nigerians should focus more attention on service delivery of whoever is in power than the nature or composition of his appointees within the security circle.

According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari in spite of alleged lopsidedness of appointments being attached to his government, has done more for the South Eastern geo-political zone than any other previous governments in terms of projects execution.

He said: “When you look at it, Service Chiefs are like personal staff of the president, they are not really constitutionally owned because you only work with military men you trust. That is the truth whether you want to hear that or not.


“I can take you to memory lane on all those that have been Heads of State, they just did the same thing the president is doing so there is nothing new. Who was President Obasanjo’s director of SSS? He was Colonel Kayode Aare, he was not from my village, who was President Jonathan’s director of SSS? He was Ekpenyong, he was not from my village.

“ So, everybody goes back to his region. He might not be the best, but that is the trend because everybody wants to be in control of his security. So, this is why I see people shout they are marginalized, sometimes these things are not real, we should look for productive things that would be done by the government.

“I don’t care about who is appointed. What I care about is what services are they giving for people to move about their businesses, for people to be secured for people to be saved, for armed robbers to stop harassing people, kidnappers to be tamed and so on and so forth.

“In the area of project execution in the Southeast, for example, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government is doing far, far better than the previous ones consciously voted for by the people of the area.

“The Second Niger Bridge is coming on board. I can tell you from the 70s, specifically from 1975, every administration has promised the easterners Second Niger Bridge and the benefit is not only for Easterners, it is for the Nigerian people and every other person that came spoke big English and grammar and they did not do anything, but President Buhari is implementing it right away.”

The recently suspended policy to on Ruga settlement, according to the senator, was not properly marketed to Nigerians, particularly those in the southern and North-central axis. The policy, he disclosed was perfectly implemented by him in Abia State in 2001 when he was governor without generating any controversy let alone mistrust or suspicion between Abians and their brothers from the North or other categories of Nigerians resident there.

“When people talk about Ruga, I wonder, in 2001 I did a Ruga in Abia. In Lokpanta I built it and the cows were being sold in Umuahia and Aba. In 2001, I invited the Hausa community and they said, Umuahia and Aba, we needed to decongest.

“I held meeting with the communities and they agreed on Lokpanta and that is the biggest cow market both Southeast and South-south of Nigeria today. So, it is about the attitude of people to issues.


“Some of us are the largest sellers of cow. I started selling cow as far back as when I was in the university. I am still selling cows till tomorrow because it is profitable, so, most of the cows you see are not owned by Hausa people. We trade on cows. So, people should have information because information is power,” he explained .

Very true....but if the Ngwans team up with the ambitious Northern bloc....he will be flogged out there...he shouldn't over-reach himself ooooo.....

You have a point, but politicians tend to be irrational during electioneering. Let's watch and see how it plays out.

nwadiuko1:
If what they did is in the interest of the state..... i support them whole heartedly....but if ikuku is trying to play politics he should be careful.

The handwriting is clear on the wall

Ojiofor:

Nig Man Attacks Girlfriend, Snatches Her Wig After She Rejected His Public Proposal (Video)

Igbere TV just obtained a viral video which shows a Nigerian man attacking and assaulting his girlfriend after she rejected his marriage proposal.

Proposals usually ends or is usually expected to have a happy ending, but the guy who was met with a unhappy ending resulted to physical attacks, seriously assaulting his girlfriend for rejecting his public proposal, Igbere TV reports.

In the video obtained by Igbere TV, the yet-to-be-identified man was seen on his knees making his proposal to his supposed heartthrob.

The conspicuously bewildered girlfriend looked disinterested and did not show any of the surprise behaviours that characterise such proposals, as could be heard saying “No, I don’t want to marry you” notwithstanding the pressure from onlookers urging her to say yes.

The man who felt embarrassed got up and tried to persuade his lady into accepting the ring but she wouldn't budge.

The man later flared up saying “How can you say no? You dey mad?", before charging towards her to hit her and also pulls her wig.
