Worryingly:
I guess anyone who wants your incompetent master booted out of office is an "Obidient".

Disgrace.

Let's have fun. What are the disgraceful things that he wrote?

1) "Your master". I have no master.

2) Anyone is an "Obidient". He can't even see! 🤣 PO's Main Chick is not an Obidient (according to him).

Conclusion: He has failed to make sense.

It's beyond his ability

This reminds me of Musiwa

Emma was once a member of the PDP. Now (since 2025) he is no longer supporting any political party, instead he is making fun of all parties and politicians. However, his message in this tweet is serious.

Emma ik Umeh (Tcee) @emmaikumeh

It's been over a week or two, and some people are still dragging Obi Cubana—don't patronise or ignore his business, etc. Some of the people saying this do not even have the means to patronize his business to start with. I still do not understand what his business has got to do with the fact that he has made a political choice. Obi Cubana has not denigrated anyone or made any derogatory remarks about Mr Peter Obi. All he said was that he would support Tinubu, which is within his rights. What's the fuss about!

Some people keep doing this nonsense all the time. There are a whole lot of people supporting Tinubu, Tony Elumelu, and over 90 per cent of the business community today are all supporting Tinubu. Mention any big business name from Femi Otedola that isn't supporting Tinubu. Why are you people not cancelling them? Why are you not saying they shouldn't patronize their businesses? Some of you people are saying these things actually work in some of the companies of these people. Why not make your own decisions and pitch your political choice?

Sometimes you people go overboard with this silliness! Today, three of the South East Governors are in the APC. Campaign for your preferred candidate, leave this daily blackmail and all sorts. All these videos and coordinated attacks are silly and nauseating. But I am happy there are significant level of pushback. Recall, this was the same type of nonsense they did in 2023. This is not politics. Going after people’s personal lives and means of livelihood is not politics! Some people went as far as labelling Obi Cubana a drug baron, internet fraudster, and all manner of demeaning names. If he goes after anyone now to come and present proof, there will be screams all over the place. We have people from the South West, North Central, and all over the Country supporting Obi, and no one is destroying their reputation or cancelling them. Why is it that it is only when Peter Obi is not being supported that we see all manner of shenanigans all over the place?

Going forward, this madness would be resisted. Even God gave us the ability of a freewill and choices, how then would a mortal play god over the choices of another! This is how cults are formed when people cannot have differing opinions. Please, allow people be.

Meanwhile Obidients are campaigning that people should boycott UBA because Tony Elumelu praised President Tinubu's economic reforms. They are also making false and disparaging comments about Odogwu Bitters simply because its maker, Obi Cubana, declared for the City Boy Movement.

....Today, the #VileLittleMan, @elrufai is an apostle of due process, spreading spittle from studio to studio.

In my case, it was a police officer I had never met who saw what they were cooking up who made the call that almost assuredly saved me from abduction at his hands.

Steven Kefas @SKefason

When the plain-clothes policemen Elrufai sent from.Kaduna to track and abduct me in Portharcourt finally found me after several days of tracking, they had no arrest warrant, and had immediately took possession of my phones so I couldn't make any call. They also instructed the mini Okoro police station where they detained me never to allow anyone sees or talks to me.

Sometimes around 8pm, I pleaded with a police woman, an elderly woman who had compassion and used her phone to call my brother, that phone call saved my life and prevented the Dadiyata model from happening to me.

When they came in the morning of May 9, 2019, around 5am to bundle me to Kaduna, they were shocked to find out that my abduction was allover the media so they had no choice than to take me to Kaduna alive.

A lot happened in the prison which is story for another day.

GOV. OTTI CELEBRATES LT. GEN. IHEJIRIKA'S 70TH BIRTHDAY, AS PRESIDENT TINUBU, MILITARY CHIEFS, OTHERS PAY TRIBUTES.

Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, OFR, has celebrated the 70th birthday of the Abia born, first Igbo Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Azubuike Onyeabor Ihejirika, CFR.

Speaking at the birthday celebration ceremony held at the International Conference Centre, Umuahia, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, described General Ihejirika as a patriot, Pan-Nigerian, fine gentleman, and a courageous general, who served Nigeria as the Chief of the Army Staff at a very turbulent period in the war against insurgency and proved himself very credibly.

The President, represented by the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr Kingsley Ude noted that, Lieutenant General Ihejirika was the last service Chief of Southeast extraction before his administration came into office and appointed Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogala and later, Air Marshal Sunday and Aneke.

"We appreciate that for the nation to surmount its security challenges, it behoves on the leadership to engage the best hands from every part of the country." President Tinubu stated.

The President prayed God to continue to keep and grant him good health so that Nigeria would continue to draw from his fountain of experience and knowledge, especially in the determined fight against insecurity.

The host and Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, while wishing the celebrant a happy birthday, explained that he is intentional in celebrating Lt. Gen. Ihejirika.

"I want to thank General Ihejirika, a man we are very proud of. We intentionally wanted to celebrate his birthday with these landmark projects (commissioning of the new Omenuko bridge and the 30 kilometres Abam - Arochukwu road).

"We are celebrating him because he's a man that said no to the statutory treaty. What people had accepted...

"Yes, we appointed him to chair the Abia State Security Council. We appointed him on merit. And he's doing the job very well. If you are in doubt, go and check what has happened in this State in the last 32 months. Compare it with what happened elsewhere, " Gov. Otti stated.

Also, the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi described Ihejirika as a family friend, a perfect gentleman and commended him highly for his contributions to Nigeria

He called on all to support Governor Otti for the works he is doing and and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his good leadership.

In their goodwill messages, the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, former Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, former Chief of Army Staff, General Muhammad Dambazua , General Alex Ogbomodia among many others said that Lt. Gen Ihejirika is a proud son of Igbo land and a thorough breed professional that is worth celebrating.

Earlier, the Chairman of the occasion, General Ike Nwachukwu (rtd ) while applauding Governor Otti for celebrating Lt. Gen. Ihejirika, saluted the contributions of Lt. Gen. Ihejirika to the security development of Nigeria and wished him a happy birthday.

In a vote of thanks, the celebrant, Lt. Gen. Azubuike Onyeabor Ihejirika
thanked God for his life and recalled how he picked interest in joining the military.

He equally took time to thank some of his mentors and colleagues in the military, including General Ike Nwachukwu, General Musa among others, and recounted his various experiences and returned all thanks to God

He said that some of the things Governor Otti is doing is not physical infrastructure, saying that he is doing more than that.

Lt. Gen. Ihejirika revealed that when Governor Otti came on board, the security men in Abia were being owed 7 months allowances but the Governor cleared it and has maintained good relationship with the security agencies in the State.

The birthday ceremony featured a lecture on "THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP IN STRENGHTHENING NATIONAL SECURITY AND GOVERNANCE" presented by former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, and the cutting of the birthday cake by the celebrant flanked by his wife, Mrs Nnenna Ihejirika and many guests with cultural displays.

The birthday ceremony attracted many Military Chiefs both serving and retired, wife of the Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, top government officials in Abia State, traditional rulers, clergymen, people of Isuikwuato among many others.

AT LAST, THE JINX IS BROKEN — Text of an Address Presented by Governor Alex C. Otti, OFR, at a Grand Civic Reception Organised in His Honour by Abam Onyerubi Community on Friday, February 13, 2026, at Abam High School, Ozu Abam, to Mark the Commissioning of the New Omenuko Bridge and the 30-kilometre Ozu Abam Arochukwu Road.

Protocols

1. We have gathered today, first to celebrate the successful commissioning of two landmark projects domiciled in Abam Onyerubi but with extensive social and economic importance for several other communities within and beyond the immediate boundaries of our dear State. The newly constructed bridge over Igwu River, popularly called Omenuko Bridge, stands as a testament to the resolute determination of our administration to address decades of neglect and set a new governance standard, one that empowers communities and enables prosperity for all. In the same vein, the timely delivery of the 30-kilometre stretch of road transversing several clans in Abam and Arochukwu, points us to what we are truly capable of, when the leadership is fully aligned to the aspirations of the community. Beyond the joy of overcoming the limitations of infrastructural dilapidation, this afternoon presents a special opportunity to congratulate ourselves for being resilient in the long-drawn battle for the soul of our dear State and for standing firm until we got what we wanted. Thank you for your enduring faith in democracy and for the unrelenting commitment to our shared vision of a new Abia. In the final analysis, today’s event is about you, the good people of Abam Onyerubi, the men and women, fathers and mothers, young people, students and artisans, professionals and entrepreneurs who gave their all to make a day like this possible. You are, one and all, the true heroes of the transformation we are witnessing today in Abam and beyond.

2. I have said it a few times but it bears repeating that our decision to jump into the political ring several years ago was informed by the literal collapse of public infrastructure and the attendant frustration it engendered in several urban and rural communities across the State. We jumped in with the simple conviction that we have what it takes to improve the economic outlook of the State and restore hope to the populace. On the strength of the heart-felt testimonies of our brothers and sisters who have taken time to capture the general sentiments, the good people of Ndi Abam Onyerubi, I am glad to say that although it was risky, our decision to step out of our comfort zones to fight for the soul of this great State, was indeed the right one. I want to thank the Almighty God for the discernment to follow through and not give up along the way for truly, nothing would have changed, had it not been willed from above. We have therefore gathered to return our praise to where it rightly belongs, and then to acknowledge all of us, the patriotic sons and daughters of Abam, who made themselves worthy vessels of honour unto the glory of our God.

3. Today, we also remember in a special way, our brothers and sisters, family members, friends and acquaintances who lost their lives owing to the structural weaknesses of the 70-year-old Omenuko bridge. While it is true that we have turned the corner, it is also fitting that we acknowledge the pain and misery several families went through in the years past owing to the failure of leadership. This occasion presents a special opportunity for us as a community to unite as one people in remembrance. It may also be an auspicious moment to make a firm declaration that the deceit and false political promises of yesteryears shall have no place in Abam or anywhere in the State ever again. On this day, we remember in a very special way, our dear brother, father and mentor, servant of the Most High God, Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai whose body would be laid to rest in a few weeks, who lost 2 of his children at Igwu River more than 40 years ago. We also offer our collective condolences to other families whose loved ones perished at different times in the river on account of the dilapidated Omenuko bridge over it, especially Mr Maxwell Uduma of Ohafia, his dear wife, Victoria, and their driver. We also remember and pray for the peaceful repose of the souls of the 17 students who perished on the same river in 2007 on their way to an exam centre.

4. The biggest burden any community can bear is insensitive leadership and the proof is the lived experiences of many of us. Think of the year-after-year losses our farmers had to live with owing to absence of means to move their produce to urban markets; for an agrarian community like Abam, nothing could be more frustrating. How about the lost opportunities for many who could not go to school for reasons of poor access road or maybe the absence of quality teachers in the local schools? It was painful to listen to the experiences of many of us but what may not have been captured is that the burden of neglect went beyond Abam; from Ohafia to Arochukwu, Ihechiowa, Isu and several other clans in the two local governments areas, no one was exempt from the misery of road infrastructure collapse. In the end, many of us went through multidimensional losses as the rich agricultural produce from Abam wasted, young people missed the trajectories of their destinies and our sons and daughters living outside the community were shut out, not by anyone, but for fear of unexpected twists and turns on the road or at the famous bridge. Today, we have turned the page, the nightmare is over, the siege has collapsed, the jinx is forever broken.

5. A new era of prosperity begins from this minute, right where the sun stands now. We have come to raise our voices as one people united by a common heritage, a shared destiny and joint aspiration for the future; we have elected to choose progress over stagnation, truth over deceit. The road and the bridge commissioned today will add to the growing list of successfully executed public infrastructure projects in this community and there is still more to come. From Ndi Ojiugwo to Ndi Ebe, Ndi Ememe to Ndi Oji, Atani to Etiti, Idima to Ndi Okereke, Ahuama to Ozu and Amuru, there are clear development footprints wherever you look. About 75% of the projects initiated by this administration in different parts of Abam have been successfully delivered and over the next 12 months, we shall also return to commission more. One thing you can take for granted is that nothing will ever remain the same in the years to come. Again, the credit for the transformation belongs to all of you because like in every other part of the State, you held firmly to the conviction that our dear State did deserve better than what the old order offered. Abam is fast rising on the development ladder because you refused to accept the defeatist lie that the fault was in our stars. No. It is not; for everyman is the architect of his own destiny. Thankfully, you have proven that sufficiently in your choice of leaders.

6. Let me, as I begin to conclude, thank Ndi Abam for the immense contributions of your sons and daughters to every good thing happening around the State today. Thank you for producing quality leaders, men and women of great courage and wisdom, pathfinders and visionaries who will always put the interest of the community above personal considerations. As a government, we shall continue to prioritise merit and give deserving individuals the opportunity to be part of the Abia success story.

7. This State, as we promised in our manifesto, shall be great in our lifetime and on the evidence of what has happened over the last 32 months, we can only hope for the best in the years to come. At any rate, nothing should, however, be taken for granted. The turnaround happening today in Abam and across the State did not come by chance; they are products of relentless efforts by all of us to change the unfortunate trajectory our State took at a certain point; far removed from the vision of our fathers. The ordinary men and women in rural and urban communities, farmers, artisans, students, the professionals, businesspeople, entrepreneurs and our brethren in diaspora remain our biggest pillar of support. What we have today is the product of a legitimate struggle by all of us who insisted that something had to give as we went into a make-or-mar election 3 years ago. We have spent every minute of the last 32 months working to justify the huge confidence reposed in us and I don’t think we have disappointed. Even then, we are encouraged to remain alert to the antics of those plotting to sabotage the gains recorded on multiple governance frontlines. Abia’s freedom and path to greatness is secured but as a wise man once said, the condition upon which God gave liberty to man is eternal vigilance. It then follows that as a people who have experienced the genuine fruits of development-oriented leadership, we now have a sacred mandate to defend with everything at our disposal, our right to freedom, prosperity and fulfilment. In the same vein, it is incumbent on us to resist with every fibre of our being, attempts by certain individuals and groups to return Abia to the old era of deceit in the name of politicking. Abia has seen the light and never again shall darkness cover our path. Here in Abam, the rivers of joy are flowing; nothing must block its path. For the sake of our children and those to tell and listen to our stories, may this light shine in perpetuity.

8. Thank you for listening and may God bless Abia State.

Governor Alex Chioma Otti - OFR.

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

I just came across a picture that is indeed worth a thousand words. This is the picture of the newly constructed Omenuko Bridge in Abam Onyeruba, Arochukwu LGA in Abia State. It perfectly sums up the contrasting fortunes of the good people of Abia State from the combined administrations of Governors @OUKtweets Orji Uzor Kalu, T.A. Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu on the one hand and that of Governor @alexottiofr Alex Chioma Otti on the othe hand.

On the left side of the picture is the old bridge that we were forced to use for over 24 years (you have to zoom in to see it). I know because this is a route I ply when traveling to Ohafia. Uncountable lives and property have been lost on that bridge. I even heard last December (I am sure it can't be true) that the past administrations decided against fixing the bridge because they were warned by a water goddess not to try it.

On the right side is the new bridge constructed by the Alex Otti administration.

Now I don't need to hold my breath when driving past Omenuko Bridge especially at night.

Is there really anything left to say that the picture has not said?
