Person wey kill am dey there. The killer is right there as an onlooker.

People wicked for this life I swear.
Envy is a disease that everyone should be watchful of, if you suspect someone is envious of you, please stay very very far away from that person.

Infact, cut all ties. So many people are in the grave due to envy.

When I notice any friend of mine is envious of me, I quickly stay away. I hardly pick nor respond to their messages. I become unavailable.

Person wey even get money pass you can still envy you,be careful.I noticed this a long time ago,if you get friend wey get money and e still dey bully you, RUN!

Envy almost cost the life of one of my siblings. The idea was to kill him so my parents will mourn.But I no gree.While my parents were praying for healing, me WAKA o, I enter strange lands in search of solution AND I GOT IT!

I didn't rest until the my dad's aunt was put in the grave. No regrets! When asked what I wanted, I said I want her dead straight! No time!

Please how can I reach you?
I need your assistance

I quote you

if Nigeria wins this match, I will send the first 5 people that quote me 10k each. Quote and see alert.

Tell your husband to leave the 5k for him and stop patronizing the police as nothing will come out there.
He should just write a petition against to NMA shekina

The guy has a right to share in the late father's property but not to claim it all for himself. Since he has other siblings and the mother is still alive, I would advise him to forget dragging the house with the mother, because the other siblings who are also females have the right also to drag the house. Going to court is him wasting money because the mother and the siblings would win him

Abians are part of the problems of Abia. They are the cheapest people to bribe in Nigeria.
They collect kerosene and akpu to vote their enemies into power.
They deserve to suffer

Keep shut if you don't know what to say

I thought these state polytechnics get subventions from their state governments , I'm sure Abia state polytechnic Aba will be collecting it own subventions from Abia state government why can't they use it to pay their staffs, what about all the money they have been generating from the school, like school fees, hostel fee, all fees etc ..who is eating those money generated from the school.

Story for the gods

Dr Alex Otti should face his future with sincere mind:

Chief Victor Umeh, as the then National Chairman of APGA, drove to the Imo State INEC Headquaters to protest with others what appeared to be electoral malpractices against APGA candidate Rochas Okorocha during the 2011 Gubernatorial election.

According to now Senator Umeh, his protest resulted to the declaration of result for Imo 2011 Gubernatorial Rerun which eventually was won by the then APGA candidate, Rochas Okorocha.

Just as we commend Senator Victor Umeh for protesting and demanding for the right to be done by INEC in 2011, Dr Alex Otti who lost Abia’s 2015 Governorship election should commend Senator T A Orji for doing what his former National Chairman did to secure electoral victory for Imo APGA in 2011.

Chief ALEX Otti should also commend Senator T A Orji for saving him from being jailed alongside the hired young black American lady, Shirley, who he presented as an international observer at the state collation Centre but couldn’t name a single Ward in Obingwa and Osisioma where she allegedly observed.

Dr Alex Otti should be reminded that Shirley gave statement to the security agencies that implicated him and others. Dr Alex Otti should imagine if in the right sense, two LGAs results would have been cancelled following an observation by a young lady who wrongfully alleged to be at Osisioma and Obingwa at the same period while election was going on.

Professor Ozurumba, the 2015 Abia State returning officer, I believe has repented by now and would be useful for further disclosure. It also appears to me that the returning officer regretted his action and at the same time, accepted the correction that was suggested to him by Senator T A Orji who had served as an INEC Administrative Secretary and other experienced Abia Elders.

By the grace of God, I witnessed all that transpired at the State Collation Centre. It is on record that an INEC collation officer accused APGA of offering him fifty million naira (N50,000,000.00) to cancel Obingwa local government result where Otti never campaigned or had candidates even for House of Representatives.

What most people may not know is that Alex Otti was also at the INEC collation center and it was his presence there with Shirley, alleged to be his US based mistress, that may have led the INEC returning officer to make the mistake of cancelling an already declared result. If not for the prompt intervention of Chief T A Orji and INEC headquarters that mistake would have led to disaster in Abia State.

Watch this video and see an INEC official accuse Alex Otti’s APGA of offering him a bribe of Fifty million naira bribe to cancel Obingwa result.

Sen. Orji ended political servitude, idolatry in Abia'
The immediate past governor of Abia State, currently representing Abia Central Senatorial District, Sen. Theodore Orji, ended politi­cal servitude and idolatry in the state. The senior media advisor to the senator, Mr. Don Norman Obinna, expressed this emphatic position in this encounter with Correspondent STEVE OKO. While highlighting key positives of his principal at the national parlia­ment, he also dismisses as the antics of ‘mischief makers’ those who petitioned the EFCC to investigate Sen Orji over alleged financial misconducts while in office as governor
Though a debutant at the national parliament, Senator Theodore Orji already has eight bills to his credit, a development which has sparked controversy in some quarters as some allege that the bills were plagiarised. His Media Adviser, Dorn Nor­man Obinna, did not only at­tribute the controversy to the antics of Orji’s detractors but also provided explanations on the evolution and gains of some of the bills currently at various stages of legislative considerations.
His words: “These bills we are talking about are not just mere bills rather, they are bills that when enacted, will have positive impact on the people of Nigeria. We have the Food Security Bill, 2015 (2nd Reading), which objec­tive is to compel government to provide quality food as part of its primary responsibilities. The establishment of a ‘Food Security Agency’ will enable vulnerable and marginalized groups like children, preg­nant women and lactating mothers have access to quality food. Also of paramount im­portance is a provision in the Bill which seeks to establish a Food Security Agency that will implement the blueprint on food security mapping system.
The bill when enacted seeks to empower the proposed ‘Food Security Agency’ to col­laborate with the Ministries of Finance, Disaster Manage­ment, Planning and National Security to actualize its man­date and strengthen their ca­pacity in food emergencies. So when enacted, the Food Secu­rity Bill will ensure a healthy society, and a robust popula­tion because it will certainly reduce drastically and/or eliminate completely the men­ace of malnourishment, mor­bidity, neo-natal mortality, high rate of child and mater­nal mortality which Nigeria is the second largest contributor with the loss of about 2, 300 under-five-year-olds and 145 women of childbearing age ev­ery single day according to the current UNICEF record. In other words, about 8.395 mil­lion and 52, 925 annual infants and maternal mortality will be prevented.
“We have the Nigerian In­vestment Promotion Council Act Cap N 117 2004 Repeal and Reenactment Bill (1st Reading), with the objective to further encourage, promote and co-ordinate investment in the Nigerian economy; Na­tional Planning Process Bill 2015, SB.73 (1st Reading); and Deep Offshore and Inland Ba­sin Production Sharing Con­tracts Act CAP PD3 LFN 2004 (Amendment), Bill 2015 (SB – 11 9) (2nd Reading). Others are the Nigerian Biodiversity Bill 2015 (SB 79), (1st Read­ing); Constitution of the Fed­eral Republic of Nigeria 1999 (Alteration), Portfolio Des­ignation Bill 2015 (1st Read­ing), Deoxy-ribonucleic Acid (DNA), Bill 2015 (SB 78), (1st Reading); and a bill for an Act to Establish a Centre for Dis­eases Control and other Re­lated Matters (1st Reading)”.
The media adviser equally highlighted some of the leg­endary achievements of Orji as Abia State governor which ac­cording to him endeared him to the people and ultimately resulted to his election as a senator. These include - the abolition of idolatry and fetish oath taking as condition for political appointment in the state; his insistence that power must shift to Abia South which had never, until the emergence of the incumbent Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu in 2015, produced a governor since the state was created; elimination of kid­napping and violent crimes which almost crippled Abia economy between 2010 and 2011; restoration of peace to

The governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu vowed not pay the new intakes , disregarding the beckon plea of his former Boss the immediate past governor of Abia State His excellency Senator T.A Orji who paid him a condolence visit in his country home in Obingwa to proffer a last respect to Ikpeazu's mother. In a chat during his visitation , senator T.A Orji enjoined him to pay the new intakes that he offered job to in the wake of his preparation for handover . But the call made by the past governor fell on deaf ears. Going by predicament and frustration meted out by Okezie Ikpeazu to the new intakes , it's noted that those who benefitted in the employment given by the past gov T.A are from 17 local govt in Abia state and there was no sectional display shown by His Excellency T.A Orji . It's recorded that T.A offered the employment to the youths from all corners of Abia state but unfortunately the new governor has nipped it in the bud disregarding CONTINUITY gesture that saw him clinch the position even when there were other heavy weights- it was obvious .Could it be that Okezie Ikpeazu wants to bite the finger that fed him? Could it be wickedness or paying his master back with a rough coin? Is it not the same T.A Orji who gave those youth job that worked so hard to give Okezie Ikpeazu mandate ? Is it not wickedness that governor Okezie Ikpeazu has beat his chest and refused to pay the new intakes who have worked for the last SIX MONTHS and yet nothing has been said or done to encourage them? In working so hard their hearts have been sorrowful as they are bereft of HOPE of getting paid yet they refused to give up. What has the Civil Service Commissimon done to forestall the disgrace to the commssion ,as we all know they are clad with autonomy? The govt should stop the unhelpful silent game the are playing on those new intakes and show some respect to them. The pathetic thing is that most of those new intakes are in E-governance team of the past and present administration ,which was founded or installed by senator T.A Orji to boost media outfit of the past and present government and it's noted that some of those new intakes worked so hard to ensure that governor Okezie Ikpeazu emerge victorious during the campaign and election period but ironically they have been treated with scorn. It's believed that Gov T.A is not happy because Okezie Ikpeazu disregarded almost the youth he gave waiver ,some whom he decided to reward for the diligent and hard work they showed during his time as governor , but Okezie Ikpeazu picked the Ngwa extraction in the midst thereby leaving the rest to spend the last six months working without any salary while those Ngwa extraction that are among the list have been getting their salary , among those connected to politicians in the state. The crust of the matter is that Abia State govt playing politics in the civil service by putting about 8 lawyers on the payroll , those who are in the list that were given waiver by T.A Orji. Abia State govt singled them out just to shut them up incase they raise dust and sue the govt for not paying their salaries while the rest suffer it.Our question is ," What is the reason behind paying those posted to the Ministry of Justice, when they are equally given waiver as the other non-lawyers ? Does that show equity and fairness ? " Governor Okezie Ikpeazu , please show love to the new intakes , talk to them , send a message to them, let them know their fate. Its the same hand that fed you that wanted to feed them , it's the same man who put you in for the mandate you seized up that put them in for employment .They are not from different political structure . Show them love , call them to yourself and speak life into them. They have worked for SIX MONTHS .They all deserve reward. Even if you do not want to absorb them , let them know what their fate is .They are humans . They all come from homes . Six months and still counting means indefinite punishment for poor youths who deserve some explanation and regard.That's all we have to air .Thank you and God Bless Abia State .

Ikpeazu has the capacity to reposition Abia, Soludo*****The former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Professor Chukwuma Soludo has said that the Abia State Governor-elect, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has the capacity and all it takes to reposition Abia and make Igboland great again.Prof Soludo said this when he played host to Dr Ikpeazu at his Enugu residence yesterday.Soludo who confessed that he has not been to Aba the commercial of Abia State in the last 20 years promised to visit the south-east state soon after listening to the Governor-Elect, describing Ikpeazu as a man with clarity of vision, who has done thorough diagnosis of the Abia problem, stressing that he is not in doubt that Ikpeazu will reposition Abia."I've not been to Aba in the last 20 years, but after listening to you, Ive decided to visit Aba very soon."Abia is surely at the heart of rescuing Igboland and it will be my pleasure to always brainstorm with you to ensure this happens."I've seen the potentials and I will do anything you want me to do to help you succeed in Abia. "Aba is a very important town to every Ndi Igbo, because there is no Igbo family that does not have link to Aba. I commend you.  "You have the clarity of vision. And you've also done a thorough diagnosis of the Abia problem, that alone tells me you have the capacity to reposition Abia and make Igboland great again. You will surely fill vacuum."Speaking, Ikpeazu said: "Repositioning Abia is a task that we must accomplish God helping us, and we need the support and partnership of people like you to drive our vision. "I thank you for your kinds words and willingness to partner us in our resolve to reposition Abia."The present state of Aba, the commercial town of our people, which is almost comatose, is part of the reasons the economy of Abia, Ndigbo and Nigeria is always on the downslope, but all of that will be history after May 29, we are prepared to hit the ground running.""I appeal to you to leave your doors always open for us because all hands must be on deck for us to make Aba work again. We believe that if you get Aba right, Abia will be right and we are determined." Ikpeazu said.

Most words put on the marble have a way of
raising our consciousness. This is aptly true
of the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.
(1929 - 1968)
‘The ultimate measure of a man is not
where he stands in moments of comfort
and convenience, but where he stands at
times of challenge and controversy. When it
is said that truth is bitter, it is not bitter to
all. It is sweet to some and sour to others.
Especially where people feel so indifferent
in the face of evil, the man who pronounces
the truth may not be popular. In real
situations if experience is anything to go by,
it is evident that many hedge from the
truth for their selfish reasons. Martin
Luther comes to our rescue again when he
stated that, ‘in order to be true to one's
conscience and true to God, a righteous
man has no alternative but to refuse to
cooperate with an evil system.’
By the foregoing, it takes a man
determined to go down in history as a
peacemaker and pacesetter to stand firm
for justice to be done on issues no matter
whose ox is gored.
Such was the case with the governorship
situation in Abia where two out of the three
senatorial zones have taken their turns and
one was left out. It is shocking and ironical
to believe that somebody boasted that the
zone will be in such subjugation for many
years while Nigeria is known to have fought
for other African countries to gain
freedom, being more frontline than the
frontline states.
While the quest to tilt the power balance
towards the southern senatorial zone
remained hazy, Chief T. A. Orji vehemently
stated in many of his speeches that equity
justice and fair play should come to play.
When a few of us who are writers
condemned and mooted this anomaly,
harping on the need for a positive change,
we were cautioned especially when the topic
pointed to issues on power shift. The
question was, are you sure that the power
that be will back you in the rotation in
favour of Ukwa na Ngwa? Having been a
Government House insider and a T. A.
watcher for long, I have never ever heard
or seen the governor prevaricate or
equivocate on minor issues how much more
on a serious thing as power shift. He is a
man guided by truth and high moral
principles and fully believes the Igbo dictum
of Egbe Bere Ugo Bere, translated to be Live
and let’s live.
No condition is permanent, change is
constant and the change symbol in Abia
today is akin to the biblical saying about the
stone refused by the builders becoming the
corner stone. Ukwa na Ngwa have the
mandate and a power tour instead of tussle
is on in the state, all to the glory of God.
Today, there is a reversal of the funny
expression of always a bride’s maid but
never a bride and other sobriquets like
Ukwa na Ngwa as the land of deputies. All is
history now!
It is on record that Chief T. A. Orji insisted
and the leadership of Abia PDP saw the
need and concurred. We may not go back to
the problems and setbacks suffered but it is
shocking that most beneficiaries opposed
this novel idea for selfish reasons.
All Abia sons and daughters, mothers,
fathers, clergy and laity should further
affirm and extend the already existing
equity law in cultural union meetings,
church groups and other political
gatherings. Some people argue that zoning
leads to mediocrity as it may not always
bring out the best but the gains are
enormous. In the efforts to correct wrongs
sacrifices have to be made.
This is not the first time where Chief T. A.
Orji has come out to stand firmly on issues
that will move Abia forward. In many
cases, they are first case situations.
Recall that the civil service; his constituency
was the first time promoted massively from
one level to the other.
Since the creation of Abia State, the civil
servants have been sheltered in private and
rented buildings. The secretariat built for
the takeoff of the newly created states by
the Federal Government then were only four
floors accommodating four ministries only.
It took only Ochendo out of past governors
to decide and comfortably house the civil
servants in a building complaint to
International Labour Organization
standards with elevators and ramp smooth
for wheelchairs
Going by the annals of today, Abia pays the
highest minimum wage in Nigeria! He is
equally the first Civil Servant to be elected
Governor in Abia State! It is on record that
Ochendo is the first to install industrial-size
elevators located at the new secretariat.
The International Conference Centre is
standing in Abia today rubbing shoulders
with the ones in Abuja, Pretoria,
Johannesburg and New York!
In Isiukwuato a helipad was constructed to
assist the military in their security works.
It is through the instrumentality of his
governance that a female was appointed a
registrar in ABSU for the first time!Before
now, dialysis machines were only seen in
photographs or by those who can travel
abroad but Ochendo has installed six
functional ones at the new diagnostic
centers.
He has built the first Government House in
Abia, independent of colonial structures.
Most importantly, he is the first governor to
genuinely advocate for and implemented
power shift as contained in the Abia Charter
of Equity. There could be more firsts if
properly verified.
Other wonders are the E-library, the
ASUBEB, JAAC and ASEPA Houses, the BCA
48 room complex, the Ultra-Modern High
Courts.
For the first time new agencies sprouted
carrying out developments in the rural and
urban areas like ASOPADEC, ABROMA, CSDP,
multiple Skills Acquisition Centers, The
Liberation Farms and old ones long starved
of funds have been rejuvenated with
counterpart funding among them, ADP,
IFAD, ASUBEB.
Most of these are put in place to make
Umuahia to look like a state capital and not
at the detriment of other cities and areas
as there are projects in the 17 LGAs.
In summary, Ochendo has taken on a total
of over 500 roads since his first tenure. The
health sector has witnessed a quantum lift
with Diagnostic Centers in Aba and
Umuahia. Over 710 Primary Health Centers,
nine 100 bed hospitals, Ambulance services
in the 17 local Government Areas, capped
with placing Health Workers on special
salary scales of CONHESS and CONMESS.
Schools have sprung like mushrooms, our
children since 2007, have been in school
free in primary and secondary schools, with
free busing in Umuahia and Aba. Nobody
can deny the blue roofed model schools in
their multiples in all the Local Government
Areas. To enhance morals and strict
instructions, secondary and primary schools
have been returned to original owners.
The aesthetics of our capital of the state
have been enhanced by the building and
relocating traders to new markets. He has
touched the housing sector and others. Most
of all, the security and peace ambience
acknowledged by Paul Harris of Rotary
fame as ‘the greatest resource which a
nation can have is the resource of peace; it
counts for more than arable lands, more
than mines of untold riches.’ The world is
aware of these deeds, little wonder he has
been honoured at home and abroad and
awards are streaming in to the extent that
we have lost count.
Ochendo has left a template that our
incoming governor has promised to adopt.
No doubt Dr Okezie Ikpeazu will improve on
the records and Abia by all means will be
better for it.

the people were informed many months ago to stop street trading and erecting illegal business structures on residential areas.

Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, said he would not tele-guide his successor but rather allow him use his discretion to run the state.
Governor Orji who stated this at the Government House, Umuahia, when he received in audience the Ukwa Peoples Assembly who paid him a courtesy visit, said that once his tenure ends on the 29th of May of this month, he is off from the state except on invitations, pointing out that he would not want to be seen as tele-guiding anybody.
The Governor said that having been elected by the people as their governor, his successor should be given a free hand to govern the state and pleaded with the people to cooperate with him for the rapid development of the state.
Governor Orji who said that he ran an inclusive government in the state, stated that it was his belief that the next Governor should also follow in the same vein and have a listening ear.
According to him, "as the first Ukwa Ngwa Governor he knows the enormous expectation of the people on him" adding that he will not disappoint the people.
The Abia State chief executive further assured the Ukwa people that their rights will come their way and urged them to remain patient and tolerant while using the opportunity to apologize to all those he might have offended in the course of his duties as Governor to forgive and forget.
Earlier, the leader of the delegation and former Senate President, Senator Adolf Wabara said their visit was to thank the Governor for supporting fully the Ukwa Ngwa course, noting that without him the governor of Ukwa Ngwa extraction would have been a mirage and urged him not to forget Ukwa people.
In their separate speeches,the Deputy Speaker, Abia State House of Assembly, Hon Asiforo Okere and Dame Victoria Akanwa, thanked the Governor for giving Ukwa people a sense of belonging and pleaded that they should be carried along in the new government.

The judiciary in Abia State monday entered into a new phase in the quick dispensation of justice following a simultaneous inauguration of modern high court complexes at Umuahia and Aba by the Governor, Chief Theodore Orji.

Speaking at the simultaneous inauguration ceremony at the State High Court Umuahia, Orji said that he decided to give the judiciary a conducive environment to perform its constitutional role, saying that he believes that the judiciary should stand for justice, equity and fairness.

He said that he had always ensured that each of the three arms of government got its fair share of amenities hence they have been working harmoniously since the inception of his administration.

The outgoing governor, who had earlier presented an official vehicle to the state Chief Judge, Justice Theresa Uzokwe at Government House, said that on assumption of office eight years ago he found that the democratic institutions in the state were grossly deficient in befitting infrastructure and he decided to change the situation.

“We met a situation where there were near absence of institutions of democracy such as decent court rooms for judiciary, conducive government house, comprehensively furnished information dissemination centre, workers secretariat, international conference centre,” he said.
Orji noted that he has delivered on his promise because “today, all these institutions that strengthen democracy have been restored”, adding that “these buildings which are being commissioned today represent the new face of Abia State”.

He stated that he was indeed laying the foundation stone for good governance and having put in place all these structures “no succeeding government will ever be bogged down by the lack of these institutions of government (hence) we expect incoming governments to gain mileage by focusing on other needs of the people for improvement of the welfare of the people.”

The governor, who would be going to the Senate on completion of his second term on May 29, insisted that he was leaving Abia better than he met it even though he has been unfairly criticised by his traducers, who have vowed to see nothing good in his administration.
“I still extend my hands of fellowship and friendship to all of them that have been criticising my administration,” he said.

The Chief Judge of the State, Justice Theresa Uzokwe had earlier in her address described the high court complex as magnificent and the product of an able, charismatic, visionary administration of Governor Orji.

She made a comparison of the ultra modern Abia High Court complexes with similar structures across the South-east zone and came out with a verdict that Abia State has got the best, adding that credit should be given to Governor Orji for giving the judiciary a new lease of life.

According to her, since the creation of Abia State from the old Imo State, no governor whether in civilian or military era has been able to impact so positively on the state judiciary.

Justice Uzokwe pointed out that the modern court buildings would solve the accommodation problems of the judiciary and also rub off on the people of Abia as they should expect quicker dispensation of justice in both Umuahia and Aba judicial divisions.

However she pleaded with the governor to extend his touch of modernity to the court rooms in other judicial divisions to ensure total transformation

Ndi Abia! Is Abia for sale? He paid $10 Million to buy PDP nomination, and failed; he paid to buy votes, and failed. He bribed the INEC REC, Salina Oko and Prof Ozurumba, the State Collation Officer with the sum of 300 Million Naira. Alex Otti imported the Military High Command from 82 Div. Enugu and Owerri into Abia to get result sheets rewritten at gun point. Despite his desperation, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu is winning him with 83,053 votes.

ABIA GUBER: GROUP RAISES ALARM OVER OTTI'S ALLEGED PLOT TO RIG APRIL 25 RE-RUN ELECTION

...Seeks Removal of Returning Officer, REC
A group known as Abia Progressives Initiative(API) has raised the alarm over alleged plot by the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) Dr. Alex Otti to rig the Saturday April 25 re-run polls in connivance with some INEC officials and the military.
In a statement signed by Ugochukwu Onwukwe and Edwin Ugochukwu Coordinator and Secretary of API and made available to newsmen, the group demanded for the immediate removal of the returning officer, Prof. Benjamin Ozumba, the Resident Electoral Commissioner(REC), Prof. Celina Oko, non-deployment of military and effective policing of the affected polling units during the rerun polls.
It reads: "Out attention has been drawn to the clandestine moves by Abia State Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA), Dr. Alex Otti to unleash mayhem on innocent Abians in connivance with military and blood-tasty thugs in the forthcoming April 25 re-run election in the state.
After a failed attempt to hoodwink the Gubernatorial Returning Officer into annulling the duly collated results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala-Ngwa LGAs, Otti in his desperation has resorted plans to instigate crisis in most of the affected polling units using soldiers and thugs to scare away voters, cart away electoral materials and thereafter concoct outrageous results that will cancel Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu 83,053 lead.
"This perhaps informed the reason why Otti has continued to boast that the April 25 re-run election has already been concluded. He claims to have the Army and INEC by his side as well as enjoy the full support of the Returning Officer, Prof. Benjamin Ozumba who conferred on him the honorary doctorate degree at the University of Nigeria Nsukka(UNN) and his cousin whom he also claimed to have facilitated her redeployment to Abia as the Resident Electoral Commissioner(REC).
For instance, since after the April 11 election, Otti has not stopped boasting about how he brought one Brigadier-General Amosun from 82 Division of the Nigerian Army Enugu to chase away PDP agents, Transition Committee Chairman Obioma Ekpem and other security agents, arrest and unlawfully detain some PDP supporters, took over Aba South LGA headquarters which also served as the collation center and finally rig the election to prove that he remains in control of Aba.
"It is in view of the foregoing that we request that appropriate measures be put in place to ensure a credible rerun election devoid of harassment, intimidation and rigging in the affected polling units.
These measures include removal of the Returning Officer, Prof. Benjamin Ozumba, the REC, Prof. Celina Oko, non-deployment of the military to the polling units and collation centers and effective policing of the affected polling units.
We also demand immediate investigation of the military involvement in rigging the election in Aba South and North LGAs as well as the activities of one Brigadier-General Amosun of the 82 Division.
These decisive steps including INEC purging itself of the corrupt officials that had earlier connived with some security agents to rig the April 11 election for Otti in some local governments will largely prove the umpire's preparedness to conduct a credible and acceptable rerun election come Saturday April 25".

The Igbos have two proverbs in relation to unfolding events relating to the April 11 Governorship elections in Abia State.

First is that it is he who farts that first raises the alarm of the odour of flatulence to deflect attention from his culpability.

Second is that 'ogbu mma anaghi ekwe ka ejiri mma ga ya na azu'. Roughly translated to mean that he who is used to cutting with the machette does not allow anyone go behind him with a machette for fear of being a recipient of his ways.

The reason for this voyage into the rich world of Igbo proverbs is to draw attention to the sustained cry of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abia State and their Governorship Candidate, Dr. Alex Otti that they were rigged out of the Abia Governorship contest.

Could their constant cry have anything to do with either or both of the above proverbial analogies? Are they screaming Rigging Rigging in the hope that when they scream it first, attention will not be paid to them as the actual riggers or are they screaming because like the master-riggers that they are, they do not want to allow anyone outrig them?

As I write this piece, I am at the D7 Criminal Investigation Department of the Abia State Police Command Headquarters in Umuahia where a woman has been brought in in lieu of her husband who escaped upon sighting men of the Abia State Police Command who stormed their house based on a tip off.

The Police as narrated by the informant who to led them there to newsmen at the Police Headquarters eventually searched the house at Amiyi Nvosi in Isialangwa South LGA of Abia State belonging to a staunch member of APGA in the area and reportedly recovered from the ceiling, sensitive INEC materials like INEC Result sheets, ballot papers a Walkie Talkie and Army Camouflages.

These materials have been reportedly warehoused in Police custody as they continue their search for the culprit.

Meanwhile, the Police have scheduled a Press briefing for Monday, April 20, 2015 to disclose their findings.

The Police were tipped off by a woman in the community who was beaten up for challenging the suspect and his band of APGA thugs who moved around Isialangwa North and South LGAS during the April 11 Governorship elections threatening voters to either vote APGA or face dire consequences.

Note also that a Rev. Canon who served as Returning Officer in Obingwa LGA during the Abia Governorship elections disclosed openly at the INEC collation centre in Umuahia that he was offered N50 Million by agents of APGA to declare that no elections held in Obingwa LGA.

There is also the report of men in military uniform who chased away PDP agents leaving only INEC officials and APGA agents at the collation center in Aba South LGA where they went ahead to allocate election figures with no PDP agent present to authenticate the figures alloted.

With the above and several others, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the people who have been telling us that they are smelling flatulence are actually the once that farted.

On Saturday, April 25, 2015, rerun elections will be held in the polling units where elections could not hold on April 11 and a winner will be declared in this election and we'll know who is who.

Till then, we stay observing developments.

...Calls For Otti's Probe
A socio-political group known as South East Progressives Assembly(SEPA) has cautioned against electoral fraud and irregularities that may be perpetrated to subvert the popular will of Abia people and undemocratically award the governorship of the state to Dr. Alex Otti of the All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) during the Saturday April 25 rerun election in the affected polling units of the state.
SEPA in a statement signed by Ebere Uzoukwa and Comrade Munonye Maximus, President and Secretary respectively and made available to newsmen alleged a possible collaboration between the military and some corrupt INEC officials to divert the results sheets and fabricate outrageous figures that will award victory to the APGA candidate at the end of the day.
The statement reads: "The South East Progressives Assembly has been alerted of the nocturnal meetings involving the Abia State Gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA), Dr. Alex Otti, some INEC officials, representatives of the State Returning Officer, Prof. Benjamin Ozumba and top military officer from 82 Division of the Nigerian Army to perfect plans on how to rig the Saturday April 25 rerun election and possibly return the ex-Diamond bank chief as governor of Abia state at all cost. We gathered that the said meetings have the sponsorship of a former governor of Abia state, a former Chief of Army Staff also from Abia state and the Nigerian-born African richest businessman. A whopping sum of One Billion Naira(N1,000,000,000) is said to have been earmarked to prosecute and actualize this infamous project of 'Return Alex Otti At All Cost'.
It is therefore our fervent wish to remind INEC and other stakeholders that Abia people have already spoken on April 11 through their massive votes to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu. He presently leads Dr. Alex Otti of APGA with 80,053 votes. The total votes in contention in the affected polling units though with 179,224 registered voters are not more than 90,000 after considering non- collection of PVCs and other recurring factors. Therefore, with voter apathy that will naturally characterize the election and INEC only approved card reader accreditation, no sane person can ever predict victory for Dr. Alex Otti as he cannot garner votes that will cancel Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu's 83,053 lead. This obvious fact perhaps informed the reason why Otti and his co-travelers desperately plan to fabricate results to steal Dr. Ikpeazu's mandate on Saturday April 25. But we are optimistic that Abia people will definitely resist any move to subvert their collective will and aspiration.
Again having observed this unimaginable level of desperation that drives Dr. Alex Otti inordinate ambition to take over Abia at all cost, SEPA opted to independently investigate this ex-banker in respect to his activities as an employee of the Diamond bank. Our findings are revealing and shocking. As a socio-political group that lacks powers to indict, we therefore seizing this opportunity to call upon relevant government authorities such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to as a matter of urgency commence investigation on Dr. Alex Otti. But one thing we must not fail to disclose is that the Arochukwu-born ex-banker is desperately seeking constitutional immunity to evade prosecution".

The 300 Million Naira given to Prof Celina Oko, the INEC REC in Abia State by Alex Otti has become a source of quarrel between the REC and the State Collating Officer Prof Ben Ozurumba.
Our source gathered that Professor Ben is not happy with the sharing formula, according to him, it's unacceptable to him get meager share of the money considering the risk involved in the assignment. Prof Ben was given 20 million Naira which he said is too small. Our source in the INEC hinted us that two senior staff of INEC have already petitioned Jega accusing Prof Ben Ozurumba and Prof Celina Oko of compromising, thereby causing problem in Abia.
Meanwhile, students of UNN yesterday booed their VC Prof Ben Ozurumba over the 300m Naira saga. The incident took place inside the school premises as the VC was addressing the students over constant water shortage on campus yesterday.

The attempts by INEC resident Commissioner to
cancel results of Osisioma, Obingwa and Isiala
North LGAs failed today following the organized
protest by Abians at the INEC office in Umauhia.
According to an alleged story as reported by
some media houses, the INEC REC for Abia State,
told some international observers through one
Professor Benjamin Ozumba the state collating
officers that results of Osisioma, Obingwa, and
Isiala North initially declared by INEC has been
cancelled.
However, following the protests by Abians
especially the people of the affected areas led
by the PDP Guber candidate, Okezie Ikpeazu,
Governor T.A Orji, Elder Adelu and
other
prominent Abians, the results were quickly
reversed.
The Residents Commissioner was reportedly seen
with Dr Alex Otti driving into Alex Otti residence
in Isiala Ngwa couple of days ago by some
neighbors of raised an alarm of possible
compromise by the INEC Commissioner. The REC is
also accused of being bribed with the sum of 300
million dollars against 150 Mllion dollars given
to Adamu Muazu, the PDP national Chairman by
Alex Otti to secure PDP Gubernatorial ticket.
