The first two make sense electorally the other two sound sleezy. Lol do they plan on pocketing the wealth for themselves instead. Do you believe they continue dumping money on Akwa Ibom or take a chance on Cross River? Abia should be in play if it's simply about governance. AGPA or APC should've taken by now.

It is easier to get aks

Blue3k:
What makes it more important?

Voting strength,population,crude oil,revenue

Blue3k:
Lol I always laugh at how APC focused all their time and money on flipping Akwa Ibom instead of cross river during the 2019 election. APC wasn't thinking strategically.

It was and still easier to win aks than crs.aks is far more important than crs

Ifeanyi uba under apc will emerge winner

fergie001:
How would they stay without bodies?

The structures are with the Party. Forget.

Don't forget both candidates will be from Abia North.....South is the stronghold of the PDP.

Politics isn't 2 times 2= 4.

Until then, life first.

True.but south is not really pdp strong hold except obingwa and ugwunagbo.aba is for apga while ukwa land is evenly divided between both parties.central is more of a pdp stronghold

Kyase,now that tarzoor is in apc,who will suswam pick

Fahdiga:
And how did you know that it is a lie

How do you know it is true? Are you ok? Have you forgotten that an accused is innocent until proven guilty boy

Beckysexy:
And you already believed that story? It's not everything you see on the internet is true. So, don't be quick to judge.

What do you expect from that kid?

fergie001:
Was Wike interested in Atiku's vote?
Were the SE Govs interested in Atiku's vote?

Osisioma technically shouldn't have been in Abia Central but for INEC and a Supreme Court judgement in 2012.

Apc with Otti can easily take out pdp if they can form an alliance with apga.they dont need to bother about obingwa votes,they just need to inflate places like bende,isuikwuato and arochukwu to matchup obingwa,osisioma and ugwunagbo.they will then stay tight to pdp in ikwuano,isialangwa,ukwa, ohafia and then win aba north and south with the help of apga massively like otti did in 2015.the winning votes will come from aba.dont forget in 2012 abia north rerun,ouk almost won Mao by inflating votes from bende.with ikpeazu term ending,the ngwa people will not be anxious to vote as before plus otti is popular in parts of ngwa land..

The apc victory in bayelsa has shown that apc can take any state except maybe enugu

fergie001:
Who is Ogah to control the Military?
Na waoh.

You over-hype these guys sha.

Ogah

Listen ...Mao is not liked even in his native Aro.
On a fair election, he will lose in his own LGA.

I have told you to forget these things. If Isi-karaka were alive, will OUK near the seat?
Everybody has his/her Senior.

What did Amaechi do to Wike in Rivers with the Military, did he succeed?

If APC will win Abia, it is the masses and who APC brings in 2023 otherwise PDP will run roughshod again. How does PDP win elections in CRS or Delta?

The same template.

Amechi succeeded in reducing atiku's votes in rivers.the aim is not to win obingwa but deflate their votes.

Obingwa and ugwunagbo are in abia south but they share same constituency with osisioma in abia central.this is funny...

As for crs,seems senator sandy has declared

fergie001:
Unfortunately, it wouldn't happen.
They will need the deployment in Imo West and in the North o.

It may happen after all ogah is minister and can influence it.remember ouk masterminded violence in ohafia and arochukwu to undermine mao..the imo guber polls will take place in 2024

fergie001:
How would APC neutralise Obi-Ngwa?
The Gov, Former Deputy-Gov, Former Minister, etc etc.
Only defection can help them there

Didn't see it o...He is in APGA nah....strong man. Heard he is in ICU, wish him well.

A simple military deployment to obingwa will solve it.amechi is good at this

fergie001:
Well, I laugh.
Anyone from Abia will be laughing at your comment.

APC's only access to Abia Government House is for the hierarchy (including the Gov) to defect, otherwise, forget the dreams.

Ikpeazu won narrowly, why have you neglected the results for House of Reps and Senate? PDP won Senate by over 20k, HoR 7k

How you compare Onyejeocha to Dee Onuigbo is laughable. Even Apugo will trounce him. I say nobody know the man eeeeeee.

Onyejeocha and Nwaogu are in a class of their own. On their day, they will defeat anyone.

Usually, Umuahia will vote more for APC but as long as it is returning to Ikwuano..they wouldn't since it is likely Senate will go to Ngwa.

APC's best chance is Apugo but his family is like the Sarakis. Strong political, the father is an avowed critic of TA, half his children are in PDP and half in APC.

Am not talking about govt house,am talking about apc clinching more seats in abia.but if apc presents otti and apga adopts apc candidate and apc finds a way to neutralise obingwa,it is over for pdp...

You haven't answered my ques on hon ossy

fergie001:
We know Icheku and his dailyledger outfit so we don't need to ask whom he is writing for.

That is not the way the seat there is shared. The Reps seat rotates amongst 3 LGAs. Dee Ifeanyi took over from Ibeji (Umuahia South LGA), and the deal is one tenure you hand over.
Dee Ifeanyi is the first to get re-elected.

The Senate is for 6 LGAs ..3 from Ngwa zone and 3 from Umuahia Zone. The Gov is Ngwa, though from another Senatorial Zone.
The reason it didn't go to an Ngwa man, Nkechi Nwaogu was taken out for this. Expectedly in the next election, it should go to the Ngwa zone because the Gov'ship will head North.

You are not from the LGA, yet you are already calling someone tyrannical, this is very funny.

I was here on this platform when you hailed El-Rufai for seizing the structure to hinder Sani. Same in Lagos. How come Councillorship and you ventilate someone is been tyrannical?

You don't know Akobundu? A nice gentleman to the very core. You can ask around.

When Ibeji was to be taken out for Ikoh, the same Akobundu he villifies today, insisted that it should be him, on one tenure.

It will go to Umuahia North LGA, so he should save his cash.

He will come back to the PDP, that is for sure 'cos there is no weight in APC in that LGA. APC is stronger in the other 2 LGAs.

The bolded is not true.ikpeazu won ikwuano narrowly.now that onuigbo has joined apc,apc will slightly edge pdp.dont forget apga defeated pdp in the assembly polls.pdp will definitely zone the reps seat to umuahia north but same thing that happened in isuikwuato/umunneochi where onyejeocha was driven out of pdp because of zoning later winning the seat..
With t.a orji stepping down,pdp will become more weaker in umuahia.onuigbo though unpopular will surely clinch it.dont forget people are now more resolved to vote out pdp


Anyway,is hon prestige alive?

fergie001:
Dee Ifeanyi is very funny.

Someone even in his Ibeere village, nobody listens to him.

He should continue.

Dee" reminds me of the popular novel " without a silver spoon "...
To the substantive issue,I am shocked that you will leave the main issues and tackle peripheral matters.the write up was not made by hon San but by a concerned constituent called icheku.he raised salient points which I expected you to address.though hon ifeanyi might not be popular or hardworking but the pdp leadership in ikwuano led by akobundu is tyrannical and undemocratic.even though akobundu is an nwc member,it doesn't give him the right to totally dominate the politico structure of ikwuano and sideline onuigbo.he must share Power sensibly. Since umuahia has the senate seat,commonsense demands that ikwuano must hold the reps seat.why must Austin seek to corner all the political slots meant for that LGA? Is it not strange that pdp won everywhere in abia but all of a sudden the 10 councillorship candidates of pdp in ikwuano who are allies of hon sam surprisingly lost to labour party candidates who thereafter joined pdp after their swearing in? Has akobundu not played anti party roles by that move? It is clear why hon Sam had to dump pdp.no elected reps can survive in such a political party..dont be surprised if apc wins that reps seat in 2023

This article attempts to correct the mindboggling lies and half truths canvassed by my brother journalist, and friend, Uche Nwosu in his opinion piece entitled: ‘Rep Sam Onuibo’s Betrayal: Ikwuano/Umuahia Must Avoid Accepting The Wrong Narrative’.

Impunity and negation of the Rule of Law ranks high as some of the reasons the PDP lost the Presidency and power at the federal level in 2015. But sadly, some officials of the party appear to think they can still eat their cake and have it.

Ahead of 2023, it is certain PDP’s control of power in Abia will never remain the same even as the party’s acts of impunity are becoming nauseating even to its members

It took the defection to APC of Rep Sam Onuigbo, member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia Federal Constituency for Abia, nay PDP national to come to terms with the atrocities and tyrannical power play that Abia PDP is shrouded in.

That things will definitely never remain the same in Abia PDP underscores the significance of Onuigbo’s defection. Thus it is not surprising that those who stand to lose by this defection will embark on spreading spurious lies and half-truths to whitewash their image

Curiously, a senior journalist like Uche Nwosu has lent his to this futile exercise founded on lies and half-truths, and whose shameful failure is already predetermined. Nwosu cannot pretend that he is ignorant of the fact that the PDP congresses of early 2020 from the wards to the LG level produced two factions in Ikwuano LGA. He cannot pretend to be ignorant that the tussle became a court matter, which was referred back to the party, but key players in the party clearly refused to act thus allowing impunity to germinate and grow.

That a journalist of his standing, who knows this truth still went ahead to state that there were no crises in Abia PDP shows that the premise of his argument was founded on lies. With the foundation of his work being lies it follows that the entire work will be built with lies. He did not disappoint in that regard.

If Nwosu was bent on uncovering the truth, it would have led him to former governor of the State, now Senator, T A Orji who said he advised Col Austin Akobundu, PDP National Organising Secretary, to resolve the crisis in his LGA, but Akobundu said it was too late. Granted also that within this same period, many persons reached out to both Senator Orji, the Abia State Governor, and the PDP National Chairman to address the impunity all to no avail.

The question at the heart of that crisis was whether to obey the party’s resolutions and policies or obey the emperor-like dictates of an individual. Onuigbo of course chose the former and stood his ground. Still he sought for ways to settle the matter and let justice reign. When it became clear that fairness and justice were not what the PDP wanted, Onuigbo had no choice but to leave the party — where individual whims and caprices overrides party resolutions and policies

While the PDP and people like Uche Nwosu would want the world to believe that the PDP did Onuigbo a favour by giving him the chance to become the first ranking member of the House of Representatives from Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency, this again is false. In fact, it is on record that all the key players from the impunity reign being foisted on Ikwuano people by the PDP opposed Onuigbo’s bid and worked against him at the primaries. These class of people range from the Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, through Col Austin Akobundu, even on to other minor players. That Onuigbo survived their coordinated attack was due to the grace of God and some smart politicking on his part. Which was why they decided to start early this time to implement a plan they drew up in 2017 but failed in its execution in 2018. Make no mistakes about it, the weeping you are hearing from the PDP camp, which has led to the concoction of lies which Uche Nwosu stooped low to propagate is borne from the sense of disappointment in their camp that Onuigbo refused to be a slave and rather choose to stand firm as a man. Records show that for these people, enslaving people so that they will rejoice when they hand them crumbs is their sole tactic. That is why Abia is where it is now— the worst state in the country and administered as the estate of an individual

From all intents and purposes, Nwosu was simply sent to parrot half-truth, publish a deceptive article, and hope that gullible people will buy the lies.

Nwosu, reading his own narrative again would have become nauseated at himself and admit that his rambling narrative was indeed a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. As a party chieftain, rather than implement party resolutions, Akobundu resorted to imposition, thus creating crisis in his LGA and Nwosu is aware of this

Let it be on record that Nwosu who is grounded in Abia’s politics is aware that Akobundu’s highhandedness and imposition led to PDP losing the Ikwuano State Constituency House of Assembly seat to APGA in 2015. This was because Akobundu ceded the seat to a close relation and personal aide.

Did Akobundu hijack the party apparatus in his LG for his selfish benefits? Yes. It was Akobundu that foisted his nephew, Stanley Nwabuisi, a young man with zero experience and barely active in Ikwuano PDP activities on the people of Ikwuano to represent them at the Abia State House of Assembly thus shortchanging loyal and effective party members. Akobundu was said to have also allotted the LGA’s lone slot for the position of the Special Adviser to the Governor to his younger brother; and made his cousin, the Deputy Transition Committee Chairman of the LGA, thus leaving the other clans feeling marginalized and disgruntled. And to continue with his reign of impunity, he ensured that his choice was selected as the Executive Chairman of the LGA.

Nwosu fully in possession of these facts choose rather to tell a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

From lies to half-truths, Nwosu rambled on, even attempting to give credit to Akobundu for Onuigbo breaking the jinx to be returned for a second term. Was Akobundu not the mastermind of a campaign to deny Ikwuano people their due representation? For Akobundu, Umuahia North should have produced the House of Representatives member, and also the Senator.

The thing about lies is that they are barely consistent. In one breath, Nwosu says the PDP councillors who were shortchanged in the last LGA selection in Ikwuano “lost” because the people revolted against impunity by Rep. Onuigbo. In the next breath, he says they “lost” because Onuigbo “abandoned” them. Which one is it, sir? Did the people also suddenly buy forms for Labour Party candidates, screen them overnight? How come in the entire Abia State, only the councillors that they felt are loyal to Onuigbo were the ones that Labour Party suddenly defeated? And then on the day of inauguration all of them suddenly defected to PDP? Even if one is shameless, there are some lies that should be beyond one. To lie this shamelessly is disgusting and unbecoming of a man!

Nwosu would also want us to believe that the many projects attracted by Rep. Onuigbo were made possible because the Senator representing Abia Central was helping him attract the projects. The question is, how many projects has the Senator himself attracted? He is good at helping Onuigbo get projects but not good at getting his own projects? In any case, this assertion by Nwosu was another “copy and paste” from the pained statement released by the nameless Ikwuano PDP PRO.

Advertisement


One other misconception that Nwosu and his sponsors would try to push is to create the impression that a particular family fast-tracked Onuigbo’s political growth and thus hold up his defection as a sign of disloyalty. This is false. First, as noted earlier, most of these people fought vehemently against his re-election, but God shamed them. Second, Onuigbo, before his Commissionership assignment in Abia State, had served as a Special Adviser on Public Affairs to then Speaker, House of Representatives, His Excellency, Rt Hon Dimeji Bankole. Third, before the Special Adviser’s appointment, he had put in close to two decades of meritorious service at the U.S Embassy where most of those who claim to have made him politically were recipients of his benevolence and magnanimity. Going further, let it also be on record that it was Sam Onuigbo that facilitated the visit of US Ambassador Howard Jeter to Abia state in 2001 when Orji Uzor Kalu was governor and T A Orji his Chief of Staff. Jeter was in Abia to commission a block of classrooms at the Ambassador’s College, founded by him (Onuigbo).

It is understandable that Abia PDP is hurting from his defection. No team will be happy losing one of its best players to the opposition, but you cannot allow impunity to reign in your camp and not be willing to reap the fruits. Clearly, Abia PDP is on an implosion and it is a question of when, not if it will implode. Thankfully, signs abound that Abians are tired of despotic leaders and yearn to show them their rightful place. Woe betide anyone intent on keeping the people chained..

Lol you drama queens and your histrionics. What calamity has occured over this? If this is really a political crisis we would see the national assembly anending the constitution to avoid this situation. None of you guys can point to any laws being broken so you resort to these emotional appeals. What's unfair and what's unacceptable about the state assembly refusing their pick? Is the NJC their boss?



Cite the law that states the state assembly has to accept their pick. Stop telling lies layman you dont know the law. The NJC cant force then to do anything. If they could they would have already. The elected representatives if Cross River said no now what they going do about?

Even by your own logic the NJC are idiots. They're prolonging the "crisis" because they think it's harsh to enforce the law. Lol a bunch of clowns grow some balls.

I agree with you.the njc power is to recommend while the job of the assembly is to confirm or reject which they have done.the njc should nominate another

Wow

Yeah just as Yaradua built the hospital he died in , and as Bihari is receiving treatment in the hospital he built in katsina. Common sense is indeed not common.

Ossy Prestige is one of the few politicians that have impacted so.much on his constituency.

At a time.he had a fallout with the stupid governor because his projects as a reps member were making a big fool of the governor who have done absolutely nothing.

Go and ask people of Aba. Ossy Prestige have done more impactful project than the governor.

There's is even a rumor that the cause of his sickness is from people who are not comfortable with his projects ( don't know how true it is) but I tell you today that the road I use to my house in Aba and the street lights were all done by Ossy Prestige.

RIP to him. Good people truely don't last.

I agree.ossy is very popular.am saddened by this news.do you think aba will still vote pdp

lunacol:
Damn, RIP

Uzo Azubuike PDP VS Mascot Kalu APC to lock horns for the his seat.APGA is already weakened in Abia State.

Farewell,Ossy Prestige will forever be missed.

Yes,this is a big loss to abia apga.the defection of Alex Otti weakened them.now,ossy.I pray pdp does not capture aba.fergie,amaniro,ojiofor please confirm this news

such stupidity on a Sunday... Please have some sense.. put aside equipment Nigeria can go toe to toe with the US...

Sir being woke doesn't entail insulting your country, or castigating for no reason

America actually woñ in Vietnam and Korea.they withdrew for diplomatic and tactical reasons

Agboriotejoye:
Not to put down the Nigerian army but you write a lot of funny and unsubstantiated tales.
Do you realise Nigerian army personnel are trained by US army personnel? Even our sitting president was trained in a US army school.
But that's not even it. Most US army personnel who come to Africa for peacekeeping mission don't do combat. They are usually in command and control, training and technical services. So I don't know where you got the info of US army begging Nigeria army. That's a really tall tale.
Lastly, there's nothing to prove those pics you uploaded are Nigeria army officers. In fact, that last guy looks like an Ethiopian.

Funny enough,I agree with you.the Nigerian army is mainly good for peacekeeping
