Succession Plot: Enyinnaya Nwafor Paid Don Ubani N5m to Attack Ikpeazu - ex-LGA Chair

As the jostle for Abia governorship seat in 2023 gradually gathers momentum, Enyinnaya Nwafor, son of late former deputy governor of the state, Dr. Chima Nwafor, has been fingered in the recent media attack on Governor Okezie Ikpeazu by Deputy Chief of Staff to the Abia Deputy Governor, Mr Don Ubani.

Mr. Ubani had lambasted Governor Ikpeazu over alleged plot by the Governor to marginalise or betray the Old Aba division and handover power to a successor from Old Bende bloc, 'contrary to an existing agreement,' in exchange for a seat at the Senate in 2023, tagging the Governor a 'serial betrayal'.

Nwafor from Umunnato political bloc comprising three Ngwa councils in Abia Central senatorial district, who is currently nursing ambition to succeed Governor Ikpeazu in 2023, allegedly paid Mr. Ubani the sum of N5 Million Naira to launch coordinated media attack on the Governor and other political leaders in the state.

The plan, it was gathered, was hatched recently in his home and Mr. Ubani has begun executing the hatchet job, a source privy to the arrangement told this Reporter, warning that leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia must call Ubani to order immediately.

It was reliably gathered that Ubani is likely to launch social media opinion posts (during the course of the attacks) massaging select political leaders’ ego as a distraction, “...the people should not be surprised even when Ubani comes up with outright denials or flimsy excuses, he is only playing according to the script,” the source added.

The source, a former council Chairman in Obingwa LGA, who claimed that he was first approached by Enyinnaya Nwafor to do the job, recalled how the latter hinted the former Commissioner for Information and Strategy (Ubani) would do the job if he (the source) was not ready to take the offer.

He said: “I can tell you for free that Ubani will not stop the attacks if he is not stopped immediately by leaders, some (of the attacks) will come disguised as opinions, he (Ubani) can go at any length,” while fingering an unnamed chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state as backing Ubani on the mission.

The source added: “Ubani was already embittered that the Governor recently blocked a contract he (Ubani) was eyeing and see this (attack) job as an opportunity and avenue to take a 'pound of flesh',” warning however that the mission could be suicidal if Mr. Ubani does not put a stop to it immediately.

Enyinnaya Nwafor's gubernatorial ambition is heavily dependent on the plot by Ukwa la Ngwa people to hold onto power beyond 2023, an ambition pundits say may not see the light of the day without Governor Ikpeazu's support.

Efforts to reach Mr. Ubani on his known phone line proved abortive, a mail sent to his email address was yet to receive any attention as at the time of filing this report. But the Deputy Governor's Aide, who believes that the Ukwa La Ngwa people will not forgive Governor Ikpeazu should he handover power to a successor outside the Old Aba bloc in 2023, has never hidden his preference for an Old Aba zone successor.

Meanwhile, a Spokesman for Enyinnaya Nwafor could not be immediately reached for comments.

When contacted, the Abia State Commissioner for Information and strategy, Barr. Eze Chikamnayo did not respond to our correspondent calls and text messages.

Damnnn niggar
Isoright

A better Nigeria all around is all we want, not all these political shenanigans.

God bless Abia State.

God bless Nigeria.

Matters arising

Buhari us a terrible human being

As a true son of the soil, any attack on Ikpeazu should be encouraged.
Spiritually o, physically, psychologically, emotionally etc... even if the only thing you do every morning is to curse Ikpeazu, you're doing the right thing.

Man is a huge disgrace to us.

They have started.
Political shenanigans.


Politicians milking this corntree since 1914.

Taking sides with politicians in dis country is funny. They're all out for their personal interest and not for the good of the masses. And whenever they find a common ground to achieve those selfish interests, they'll become friends. No permanent enemy in politics, just 'permanent' selfish interests.

The scum in a dot can do anything illegal

Expect maximum trash.

Every thing is possible

Abaribe greediness is what is causing all these fights.
Ohanneze is keeping quiet,but they have the guts to tell South west not to contest for president.

Buhari is a terrible human being

Nonsense and abia government

That Abai state where no development has been recorded. Faulks road leading to Ariaria is still in a terrible condition. What are these guys going to do differently from all past governors.

Useless state

When a child doesn't ask what killed his father, he follows the same path to his death.
Those fighting over who rules in pdp Abia, all of them A to Z, don't have the interest of the citizens at heart.

The only possible light in that state is one Ikechi Emenike in APC but unfortunately for him, he is fighting it out with criminal elements like Orji Kalu on who holds control of the party, although the said Emenike who have upper hand is said to be arrogant and listens to no other voice,except his' and that of his minions/O-yes sycophants.
The soul of that state lies in his resolve,otherwise the evil PDP in Abia state will continue messing up the state,until eternity.

Enyinnaya Nwafor...Do you have a will?

I ask, because your father never had one. He couldn't stand up against power wagers in Abia State.

Don Ubani thank ur God u are not in Ebonyi state Dave for don declare u wanted.

Don Ubani thank ur God u are not in Ebonyi state Dave for don declare u wanted by ebubeagu.

Abians are stupid people. That is how they will be fighting themselves foolishly till something worse than Ikpeazu befalls them as Governor.

Ohaneze is a retirement home for hungry fools. They must have collected money to look away.
