VIDEO: Chris Uba, Nigerian Politician, Physically Assaults Artisan Who Demanded Payment For Completed Work In London Home

A video has surfaced showing Chris Uba, a prominent Peoples Democratic Party figure from Anambra State, physically assaulting an artisan who "completed a job at his London residence but was not paid".

Although the details of the job and agreement are unclear, the 36-second video obtained by SaharaReporters on Monday evening shows a man, a foreign national, requesting payment for the work done.

In response, Uba, formerly a political heavyweight in Anambra State, is seen ordering the workers to "Leave my house, I am not owing you. I said leave my house.""

The video, obtained by SaharaReporters, shows a man, apparently a foreigner, asking Uba for payment. Uba, a former political influencer in Anambra State, is seen telling the workers to leave his house, denying any debt."

A foreigner is heard saying, "Look at me, why are hitting him? Why are you hitting him?"

Uba replied the man, saying "shut up. Get out, your are a fool. You are another criminal."

Meanwhile, the voice continued saying Uba "doesn't want to pay".

"We have done work for him, the whole house - Suleiman - he is trying to beat him. He is a hard man. Are you a hard man here? Are you a tough man? Tough man, the police is going to see that if you don't want to pay money."

Uba then replied saying, "You are too small."

Then Uba charged at the man videoing the incident and appeared to have assaulted him.

A wealthy member of the powerful Uba political family, Chris Uba is an iconic example of the godfather phenomenon in Nigeria.

Uba was at the apex of his power during the 2003 elections, when he “sponsored” PDP candidates and rigged their election into office across Anambra. After that election, he publicly declared himself “the greatest godfather in Nigeria,” noting that “this is the first time an individual single-handedly put in position every politician in the state.”

Among the politicians Chris Uba “sponsored” in 2003 was PDP governorship candidate Chris Ngige. The terms of their relationship were spelled out in remarkably explicit fashion in a written “contract” and “declaration of loyalty” that Ngige signed prior to the election.

Uba provided Human Rights Watch with a copy of this document to bolster his contention that Ngige later failed to live up to the terms of their agreement.

Ngige promised in writing to “exercise and manifest absolute loyalty to the person of Chief Chris Uba as my mentor, benefactor and sponsor” and agreed to allow Uba control over all important government appointments and the awarding of all government contracts.

The contract referred to Governor Ngige as the “Administrator” and to the unelected Uba as “Leader/Financier.”

It also empowered Uba to “avenge himself in the way and manner adjudged by him as fitting and adequate” in case of any breach by Ngige that could not be settled through mediation.

During the 2022 Okwudili Ezenwankwo Foundation empowerment program held on December 28, 2022, in Nanka, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Uba made a boastful claim that he had influenced the rise of governors and senators, and also proudly declared that he owned three oil wells.

He said, "I've made so many highly placed politicians in Anambra State and beyond since 1999. I've made governors, senators and other politicians at different levels.

"I produced Chinwoke Mbadinuju and Chris Ngige as governors. I had a hand in making Peter Obi, Willie Obiano and Charles Soludo as governors of Anambra State. I also made uncountable number of senators, House of Representatives members, and state assembly members. "In all these efforts, I was rewarded with ingratitude.None of them showed me gratitude. This is why I decided to pick a ticket myself to go to the Senate to represent Anambra South."

"I am not going there to acquire wealth. I have 3 oil wells. I have chains of businesses," he further claimed.

Pesin wey dey calculate him brother burial money na him you dey ask for money. Tinubulation affect everybody - poor, rich, big belle, home and abroad.

Even Dangote was crying last month.

These things can be sorted without violence.
Peace and negotiations solves alot of things

This clown has taken his APC thuggery to Abroad. He thinks that he's in Lagos were things are done haphazardly without decorum. When he's sentence to three months in jail for this, that's when his brain will function. There is not here were politicians are worshiped like demigod.

Otilo.....




Freedom don tire him u think say na home u dey...

The mumu that tried to use godfatherism to finish Anambra.
Peter Obi came and destroyed his influence.

Shameful I must say

And if he is arrested and jail now, his kinsmen will start shouting marginalisation in far away England. They think everywhere is Nigeria where you can just commit fraud and go scot free. Anything involving money, just take reverse mode and run away from them. They don't even know family members when money is involved

it's a norm for some Nigerians.. it's like talking about mosquito and omitting malaria.. I'm speaking outta experience! Fear Nigerians especially politicians and wealthy Nigerians

He'll bribe London police and go free like he used to here in Nigeria.

Dem don carry political agbero behavior go London. Everytime nzogbu nzogbu 😂

Hmmmmmm

For London again?

Hand go touch am

Nawa ooh

Nigerian politicians should be ashamed of themselves

.

Dem go use this bros shine o. Make he ask Ekweremmadu oo. Big man no dey dat side o especially if u are a black man (not even a nigger).

They should collect their money from the evil man

That's their business

Suleiman may come back later to harm him.

This is not Nigeria where he enjoys maximum police protection or use such to intimidate others

If Usman doesn't take revenge, the UK police may come in... Either of these two will happen

Agberos and criminals acting as politicians in Nigeria since 1999 till date

Peculiar to the Igbo. Think again and don't be blinded by ethnic bigotry. Statistics show this can happen to other tribes too.

The fake politician needs to pay his bills.

That is not Nigeria, where stupidity reigns supreme; You better pay or them go put lien for your house, and dem go win the case for court. Countries like the one you are staying, has high standard.
