Good morning the good people of Isiala Ngwa North LGA

I see a bright and great future for our people.

Please remember that before 2010 when I was appointed the Transition Chairman of Isiala Ngwa North LGA, our area was a no go area as insecurity reigned supreme.
The menace of armed robbery,kidnapping and other vices were the order of the day. Our people at home lived in fear while our people who lived outside couldn't come home. Visitors were afraid to come to our place. Our reputation as a people took a serious nosedive as we were branded all manner of negative names.
My appointment as Transition Chairman of our LGA changed the entire narrative. On assumption of office, I tacked the menace head on. I quickly renovated the defunct SDP Party building and liaised with the authorities to bring the military into the place, provided logistic and administrative support for them and together we stamped out criminality in our local government and today, peace, security and tranquility have returned and our people now sleep with their two eyes closed.
In taking this step, I stood against all manner of opposition from some people who believe that the local government is their patrimony and who fought tooth and nail against the move. Today, our people are better for it.

In 2010, on assumption of office as Transition Chairman of our LGA, I met a Council in total disarray and a workforce reeling from 9 months arrears of salaries. Morale was at all time low. The immediate past elected Council Administration left a badly battered work force together with a huge debt profile of 120 million Naira which was a loan procured by that administration barely two months to its exit from office.
It is on record that even with our tight financial profile but with efficient management, we able, not only to clear all the salary arrears but we repaid every kobo of that loan and got a Certificate of Non Indebtedness from First Bank Plc to that effect. We took to the front burner the issue of the welfare of our workers and ensured that salaries were paid promptly. I recall with pride that in December 2010, Isiala Ngwa North LGA under my watch was the only Council that ensured that workers salaries were paid in full before Christmas. The records are there. Records don't lie.

That is not all.
Our people will recall how the last elected administration embarrassed our people by purporting to commission uncompleted projects. At our Council Headquarters , uncompleted buildings with no basic facilities were "commissioned". A building with no proper flooring, rough walls with no plasters and no tiles was commissioned by the same people who lay unfounded patrimonial claims to the leadership of our people.

My dear people of Isiala Ngwa North LGA, I am a performer with an illustrious track record of top performance in office.
As an appointed Transition Chairman, my records speak for themselves. Under my watch as your Chairman and under tight financial guidelines, rural roads were graded, the salaries and other entitlements of our Council workers were laid on time. We promoted Sports Development initiatives across the Local Government. We built a Garri Processing Plant. We built and upgraded our rural markets. We embarked on deliberate empowerment schemes for our young men and women. We encouraged the development of agriculture and small scale farming through the provision of fertilizers for our farmers. We intuited and completed rural electrification projects. We shook up the health sector by building new and modern Health Centres. We also renovated and reactivated abandoned ones.

In the last 2015 general elections and as we fought for the election of an Abia Governor of Ukwa Ngwa extraction, I led from the front.
I led a coalition of progressive forces which ensured, against all odds that the dream of our people to produce a Governor for our dear state for the very first time in our history is a reality today. In the thick of that period, my personal safety and that of my family were put on the line. But for me, the emergence of our son as Governor was the most primary consideration at that time. Today, the political history of our people have been rewritten and I am proud to have played a leading role in that historic struggle.

As a private individual, I have never shied away from our people. The beautiful round about at Orie Amapu Ntigha with solar powered light is a testimony to my commitment to our people. We have completed the grassing of a mini stadium for our people, a project I undertook in my private capacity.
When our Governor launched the ADOPT A SCHOOL PROJECT across the state, I keyed in and as we speak the Three Classroom Project which I adopted is nearing completion. We are at the roofing stage now.
Currently, two hundred and twenty of our youths from across the entire Council have been trained in various areas under our sponsorship. God willing, by December this year, we shall equip each and every one of them so they can start a life of independence and sustainability.

Please check my records of performance. They speak for themselves. If all of these could be achieved as an appointed Chairman, then expect more from me when you elect me as your Chairman.
As elections approach, the same people who lay false claims of ownership of our Council have, in their usual style, raised a stooge who shall do their bidding and continue their dangerous stranglehold on our people and our resources. Never and never again shall we allow a group of desperate politicians to hold our people to ransom again.
We must elect credible people to run our affairs.
This must start by the election of credible delegates who will in turn elect the candidates of our party.

We must rise above primordial sentiments and do the right thing.

Elect a man of the people.

Elect a man with veritable records of performance.

Elect Chief Ginger Onwusibe, WSE for Chairman, Isiala Ngwa North LGA.

Orji Uzor Kalu and his menace of distractions: Abia North Political and Economic Youth Forum:

Must our people suffer politically and economically because of a man's selfish interest? This is a man that has been Governor of Abia for eight years. Yet he cannot boast of any meaningful project outside his Igbere town. This man used his position to destroy community cohesion in Abia State especially in Abia North where he come from. During his time as the Governor, the once flourishing Abiriba Land was desecrated, her people were instigated against themselves. Property worth millions were destroyed just as their worthy sons and daughters were forced on exile with the highly exalted Enachioke stool desecrated by Orji Uzor Kalu and his agents. This same tyrannical act was carried out in other communities through his dastardly divisive and destructive style of Governance. We cannot also forget his mother, the mother excellency aka Odiuko. The woman who alongside his son, OUK forced many of our people working for him to Okija in Anambra State to swear oath before an unkown god. What can we say about the forceful grabbing of community lands through different deceitful means. Many communities in Bende as at today, lost their land to Orji Uzor Kalu and his mother because they were deceived that the Government will in turn develop their land for them.
Sadly, Only in Nigeria will someone with some weighty allegations against him will still shamelessly be standing for election or wanting to become a senator through the back door when he had failed in the election proper.
Abia North deserves better. We need Senator Mao Ohuabunwa to continue as our Senator. We are sending a warning message to Orji Uzor Kalu and his mother to allow our elected Senator to focus in his primary assignment of representing us in the Senate. We don't need a crook as our senator. We are aware that Orji Uzor Kalu has some weighty financial allegations hanging on his neck. We are also aware that he milked Abia State dry and left no structure as legacy.

Therefore, we are using this medium to call on the EFCC to expedite action and prosecute the criminal ex Governor.
Our people are not ready for another setback, we want progress and we have given Senator Mao Ohuabunwa our collective mandate to represent us. We call on Abia Elders, Mothers, Students and Youths to join forces against the Okija Shrine Disciple and his Mother Odiuko. We must defeat them and their principalities this time.

The story behind the Abia Civilian Coup...Failed plot to remove Okezie Ikpeazu uncovered.

It has been uncovered that Chief Chris Uba Esele Na Uga is the man behind the political crisis that has enveloped Abia. Information reaching us, stated that the man who masterminded the adoption of Senator Ngige when he was the Governor of Anambra State is the anchor man for the failed civilian coup that took place in Abia on Thursday, 30th June, 2016. Their aim was to force the Abia State Chief Judge to swear in Mr Uche Ogah as the Governor of Abia State considering the stay off execution order by the Federal High Court which allowed for Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to exhaust all appellate courts processes.

We gathered that Chief CHRIS Uba also known as Esele Na Uga accepted the offer to project Mr Uchechukwu Ugah who is rumored to being used by some top APC members to undermine democracy in Abia State. We gathered that Esele agreed to carry out the dirty work after collecting 2 billion Naira from Ogah.
We also reliably gathered that there other Igbo politicians recruited to carry out the failed civilian coup, among them is a Hon Nkeiru Onyegeocha, member representing the people of Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal constituency. She accompanied Uche Ogah to Abia through Owerri Airport and she was reported to be the chief mobilizer for Uche Ogah.

Abia Politics and the mess of the Judiciary...Ikpeazu, Uche Ogah and FN Nwosu judicial battle.

Ahead of the Court judgment in the tax case between Barrister FN Nwosu and Governor Ikpeazu, the Judge presiding over the case is now caught between the devil and the deep blue sea as Barr FN Nwosu is making frantic effort to swing victory to his side. Some reliable Judiciary sources told this online platform that FN Nwosu, an ally of Uche Ogah who allegedly compromised Justice Abang to get his own judgement, through a Northern Senator; reached out to the Judge with the sum of 100 million Naira.

Barrister FN Nwoso who sourced part of the money from Ogah who is currently undergoing a fraud trial, is desperate to the extent of selling his Ajao estate house in Lagos to buy this judgment. Our source however, hinted that the Judge who is under surveillance is confused and hasn't made up his mind to accept the money which will be paid into his Ecobank account via proxy in the form of a property sold to FN Nwosu's proxy. We will keep u updated.

Attempts by Orji Uzor Kalu to unleash mayhem in Bende Local Government Headquarters with his imported thugs was foiled tonight by the Army. Orji Uzor Kalu who attempted to cart away INEC materials with his thugs was resisted by the youths of Bende who barricaded the LGA Headquarters before soldiers from Ohafia Barracks arrived the scene. Orji Uzor Kalu, again is shamed tonight.
Kudos to Ndi Bende for resisting a known criminal tonight, Orji Kalu an Okija Shrine Patron cannot be our Senator: Tufiakwa

By Don Ubani

As Abia-North Decides: come Satur-day 5th March, 2016 the good people of Abia-North will go to poll to chose who will represent them in the Senate via a rerun election. I adduce seven reasons why the people of Abia-North have to reject Chief Orji Uzor Kalu. The first is sectionalism. Orji Uzor Kalu was governor of Abia State for eight years but there was nothing to point at as legacy in Arochukwu, Isuikwuato, Ohafia and Umunneochi local government areas. He did nothing in those places because of his penchant for sectionalism and discrimination. The assistance he could not give the people of Abia-North when he was governor for eight years, is it now that he can do it? (2)Idolatary was brought into Abia State by Orji Uzor Kalu and his mother, Eunice. It was a policy under Orji Uzor Kalu's government that no matter what contribution one had made towards the emergence of his government if one did not accept being taken to Okija shrine to swear to an oath of foolish allegiance to Orji and his mother, one would not be regarded as a reliable and trustworthy ally. Kalu turned Abia from Gods own state to goon's own state.(3) Lack of Transparency was overwhelmingly manifest throughout Kalu's era as governor. Public fund was not just misappropriated but commonly diverted and embezzled. That was why Abia State remained one of the most undeveloped states during his tenure.(4) orji kalu has inconsistency as his trade mark. Orji will take a position today but before you would know it, Orji has changed entirely.(5)Orji is a dire-devil opportunist. If Orji had declared and sacked some one when he was a governor and feels that the person could be of help to him in his quest for the Senate, Orji would shamelessly go for reconciliation with such a person.(6)There are two major political parties in the Senate, APC and PDP. Orji's PPA has no single councillor in the whole of Nigeria. It has no member in any State House of Assembly, House of Representatives, not to talk of the senate. No single tree makes a forest. The people of Abia-North are wise and should not fritter their senatorial opportunity away by voting for Orji who lacks platform.(7)In mordern day democratic legislation, Orji Uzor Kalu would surely appear a curse on any group that errorneously elects him as a senator. Orji is in every way incompetent to be in the senate. If it were any thing that has to do with fraud, like filling a carton with mere slashed papers and presenting same as a one million naira donation to Borno State Education Endowment Fund, I would not worry if Orji is asked to go. But this is a hallowed red chamber where integrity, pedigree, knowledge, good parentage and brilliance should combine to attract the best for an electorate. The above qualities and virtue are at the beck and call of Senator Mao Ohuabunwa. A vote for PDP is a vote for Mao Ohuabunwa and a vote for effective representation. Sir Don Ubani, Okwubunka of Asa, former Commissioner for Information & Strategy, Abia State.

########%%%#######%%%%%

Bourdex is a drug dealer, an addict & a very uneducated man with a disorganized family. He cannot represent us at the Senate. He is a desperate novice and did absolutely nothing to justify his ill-gotten wealth. Orji Uzor Kalu is the Chief Priest of Okija Shrine. The mother Odiuko is still alive and therefore, Orji Uzor Kalu is evil and cannot change. He ruled for 8 yrs without developing Abia North. We are saying VOTE PDP for the most credible candidate, MAO Ohuabunwa for Senate, Abia North.

Breaking news .... reports reaching us now says that Alex Otti is at logger heads with the Director of SSS in Abuja following the inability of the SSS to incriminate Eziuche Ubani whose House was raided yesterday despite the 500 million Naira Alex gave for the job.

Our source hinted that Alex is not happy as the SSS boys couldn't plant guns in Ubani's house as planned. It was gathered that the Director of SSS told Alex that with eyes of the World on him plans to raid the houses of Abaribe, former Senate President Adolf Wabara, Charles Ogbonnaya and others may be put on hold.
However, Alex Otti according to our reliable source, who hinted this reporter in an undisclosed location in Umuahia, is very desperate as he has promised another 500 million Naira which was also turned down. The Director of SSS hinted that these raids seem not to be going down well with President Buhari who we learnt is embarrassed by these acts which is portraying him as a dictator. More Details later

Abia State Government Condemn the barbaric invasion of Hon Ezuiche Ubani's residence by men of the DSS.
Abia State Government has frowned at the invasion of the residence of the state commissioner for Works, Hon Eziuche Ubani by a team of men of the army and state security services (SSS), describing it as condemnable, unwarranted and unacceptable.
To that end, it has requested an unreserved apology from the security agencies involved in the act, saying that government feels embarrassed by the action.
Addressing newsmen at the residence of Hon Ubani at Ovom in Obingwa LGA, the commissioner for Information and strategy, comrade Bonnie Iwuoha said the government demands explanation from the security agencies on why they invaded the residence of the commissioner and two-time member of the house of Representatives at the wee hours of the morning.
According to him, Hon Ubani is peace loving and the government feels concerned and embarrassed that this sort of thing is happening to an official of the state government.
The commissioner used the forum to call on those funding disturbances in the state to stop forth with as government will not condone the violence in any guise.
Briefing newsmen on the attack, Hon Ubani explained that his residence was invaded about 2am by a team of men of the SSS and the Nigerian Army who came in 6 Hilux vans, broke his gate and gained entry into his house by climbing the wall and held him hostage for 4 hours.
According to him, the team led by Stephen Agu of the Directorate of State Services (DSS), Abuja said they heard a report from the opposition that he was stock piling arms and training people to assassinate leaders of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.
He said the team thoroughly searched his house including the water tank, broke his ward robe, climbed the ceiling and inflicted injuries on his driver in his boys quarters after which they wrote on a paper that they found nothing incriminating in the house.
The commissioner for Works said that if state institutions will be used to harass innocent Nigerians then he wonders where the country is heading to.

Going further and to fulfill the promise made to Abia people especially the Aba metropolis residents, the Government of Abia State led by Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu today completed the construction of Omni Road in Aba. Omni Road is another important bypass with numerous strategic advantages within Aba Metropolis. This Road will guarantee swift human and goods movement, adding value to the economic growth of the commercial city. Although it is yet to be commissioned by the Governor but it's now opened for users.

May God continue to turn all your thoughts for good governance and sustainable growth of Abia State into reality

Together we can...

IGWE SAMUEL OBINNA: PRESIDENT COLLEGE OF FOOLS
Two events happened within the last few days that triggered my thoughts. First was the statement credited to the Vice President, His Excellency Prof Yemi Osinbajo that APC Youths are not inspiring enough. The VP was apparently referring to the growing concerns expressed by a cross section of Nigerians regarding the neglect of that category of Nigerians. Before that blanket vote of no confidence could die down, Gov. Tanko Al-Makura dropped the bomb shell. The Nassarawa State Governor said the mind of many Nigerians when he alluded that Nigerian Youths have resorted to use of Social Media as a hub for cheap propaganda and blackmail.
While I reviewed these two statements, many thoughts ran riots in my mind. What particularly crossed my mind was Abia Youths. With no intention of drawing any form of blood, I observe with sense of responsibility that Abia State seems to be the home of the most disgruntled, misguided and misdirected youths, those who use the Social Media as great weapon of blackmail and propagation of dangerous half truths.
The one person particularly on my mind is one IGWE SAMUEL OBINNA. Let me state here that I do not have any problem with any person holding a view different from either the popular or minority one. People make better progress when they have an opportunity to be their best selves. That is the primary objective of liberty. However, I have a problem with any one who pretends to be a social crusader, a freedom fighter and a liberal activist whereas in the real sense the person pursues hidden personal gains. I will come to IGWE SAMUEL OBINNA later.
Out of curiosity, I have painstakingly profiled a lot of these persons who dance the evil surugede on facebook and other social media tools. They are either people who fell out with government or those who dangle the bait of blackmail as a strong negotiation tool. The moment you pander to their whim, they shift their stand, they mend fences and do an amazing volte face. A good number of people in this category do not have verifiable means of livelihood. They live from hand to mouth and simply see attacking government as access to a meal ticket. Almost all the time, they masquerade as fighting for the good of all while in real sense they seek attention to better their own living. Their voices go faint as soon as they achieve their selfish aim.
IGWE SAMUEL OBINNA, the one I have described as the PRESIDENT, ABIA STATE COLLEGE OF FOOLS fits into Osinbajo and Al – Makura’s description of senseless blackmailers and propagandists. Samuel hails from Emede Ibeku in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State. By virtue of nativity and decent, he could pass for a close relation of the immediate past Governor of Abia State, His Excellency Sen. TA Orji. Samuel participated actively in the re lection of TAO in 2011. He was reputed to have led Emede Youths, as he was the Vice President at the time to match violence for violence, peace for peace. At the time too, this unemployed Abia Youth did not express worries over the competence of the then Governor. He repeatedly organized rallies and led the youths of his area to wade off what they assumed to be stiff resistance to the re – election of the Governor.
Everything was well until 2012, when Igwe Samuel Obinna turned to an activist overnight. Out of obvious frustration, he travelled out of Nigeria, living his wife behind in search of greener pastures. May be, just may be, reconciling his hurried sojourn abroad with the prospect of having a brother Governor irked him the more. Ever since he has been using his facebook wall to draw attention of gullible minds how his brother Governor is such an incompetent fellow who does not deserve to occupy the seat as Governor of a State. Samuel variously accused the Governor of being a murderer and a social misfit. Those who are easily hoodwinked fell to this sonorous music of a comprehensive fool. Unbeknown to a lot of people, Igwe Samuel concealed the real cause of his anger and uncontrolled vituperations. He fought for himself and his immediate family. I will tell you how.
At the wake of Igwe Samuel Obinna’s wild and recalcitrant disposition towards the person and government of TA Orji, His Lordship Bishop Ralph Okpoko, a respected Ibeku Clergyman had requested to have a chat with Igwe Samuel Obinna in his London residence. Samuel told the revered Bishop that after working so hard to ensure Ochendo’s victory, that the Governor decided to offer appointment to an old Emede man called Elder Micah as Chairman of ASUBEB. The remaining slot was given to another close relation of Micah in the person of Nkwachukwu Agomoh as Permanent Secretary Government House. Samuel felt betrayed and abandoned by the Governor whose body language during the 2011 elections suggested he was going to reward Igwe Samuel Obinna with a juicy government appointment.
IGWE SAMUEL OBINNA lied. He refused to tell the Bishop and the thousands of gullible minds who throng his facebook wall that Abia State Government through ASOPADEC was paying him N50,000 every month as stipend designated for select Abia Youths. Igwe did not tell any person that even while he left the shores of Nigeria, his own wife continued receiving the same amount on his behalf until eight months when the programme that qualified him for that monthly stipend elapsed. As soon Abia State Government stopped the monthly N50,000, IGWE SAMUEL OBINNA declared war against the Abia State Government and her Governor at the time.
Let me regrettably observe that while Samuel worked hard to enthrone ‘incompetent’ OCHENDO, he did not make any case for the improvement of infrastructure in his community, he did not extract any form of commitment from the government in terms of valid social contract on behalf of his people, his eyes were only set on what he would gain personally. Igwe Samuel Obinna should deny that he never received monthly stipend from ASOPADEC. Let him also deny that he never made entreaties to be rewarded personally for working during elections.
Igwe Samuel Obinna remains a journey man looking for where his bread will be buttered. A detailed scan through his facebook timeline will expose how he swiftly moved from supporting Uche Oga to being the loudspeaker for the defeated APGA candidate Alex Otti. At a time, Uche Oga was the man because Samuel had siphoned so much from him. Today , Otti is the new maga whose loot from Diamond Bank must be savored with the sense of spoils of war.
I do not have any problem with who Samuel chooses as his next victim. I am worried that those who fail to see beyond their nose are deceived. These innocent though gullible persons cannot see the concept of personal aggrandizement as demonstrated by this lying and pretending PRESIDENT COLLEGE OF FOOLS who remains a fool at forty.
Not just IGWE SAMUEL OBINNA, Abia State has a handful of nincompoops, street marauders, inconsequential idiots and fake social crusaders who live off stipends and kick backs. This other group is led by one jobless MAXWELL NWADIKE.

COMING NEXT…..
I will give you all the details of how the leader of ABIA AWAKENING Maxwell Nwadike led his group of ragtag e rats to see the Governor of Abia State . I will tell you why they have suddenly turned their facebook page to something visibly different from what they professed in the past. Some of their members have been appointed by the Government of Abia State and for a mere N50,000 a month, everything has suddenly become very good. Ndi ara!

Stop Press: Being a press release by the Deputy Speaker, Abia State House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Sir Cosmos Ndukwe

Distinguished Members of the fourth estate of realm, it has become very expedient that I address you on very serious issues bothering on my integrity, security of my life and that members of my family. Ordinarily and given the consistently unstable characters of the personalities involved, one would have been tempted to discharge with a wave of the hand their usual rantings. However, I will not oblige these characters the luxury of repeatedly telling lies so that it doesn't look like the truth.

On the 28th of September 2015, SUN Newspapers and obviously hiding under the guise of their publisher, invented what could be the most laughable lie against my person and personal dignity. In an interview granted one Chijioke Chukwu, the Progress Peoples' Alliance (PPA) candidate for Bende North State Constituency at the April 2015 elections, my character was assassinated and my integrity injured in the most poignant manner. When a matter is before a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, it is only reasonable one allows the mill of justice to grind to a logical conclusion no matter how slow. Personally, I subject myself to cause of justice, hence my resolve not to delve into issues already being detrmined by learned justices.

Naturally, when you weigh certain allegations against previous ones by Orji Uzor Kalu that he would not live to see me make any progress politically or personally, it is easy to know that though the hand is that of Esau, the voice is unmistakenly that of Jacob. For the sake of clarity, I will draw your atention to certain incidents to buttress my line of thinking.

SUN Newspaper and Orji Uzor Kalu have for a long time elected to sustain a campaign of calumny against me and to a large extent any person that is connected to me. Whereas I have no problem with objective review of my political activities, I take exception to any form of crusade calculated to present me as unfit and lacking in observable integrity.


At the turn of events at the elections petitions tribunal, only SUN Newspapers and their publisher cooked up a story that a certain 'ghost' Bailiff was manhandled by my guests. Ironically, when people are acting out a blackmail script, they hardly pay attention to tiny details. In their bid to nail Cosmos at all cost, they invented another wonderful lie that their colleague bailiff who never set his eyes on me nor had any form of interaction called me on phone and eventually served me notice of a petition unarguably sponsored by them against me at the elections petitions tribunal. My phone numbers are subject to scrutiny. I will challenge them to provide any Call Data Record (CDR) showing that I ever missed or answered a call from their agent bailiff.

I am aware that a good number of you attended the burial ceremony of late Dr. Roland Nworgu, husband of distinguished Senator Nkechi Nworgu. In a fresh bid to shoot themselves on the foot, it was only SUN and their publisher that invented the lie that the former Governor of Abia State and Senator representing Abia Central at the red chambers was booed at that event. For those of you who attended, I will again urge you to recall the minutest details of that event. You will agree with me that SUN and their publisher would for a long time remain a disgrace to the respected journalism profession. All the time, they vent their angers on perceived enemies, presenting themselves as rumor mongers and pathological liars.

I am not surprised that Orji Uzor Kalu would allow himself to condescend to this level of frustration since he sees Cosmos Ndukwe as being the principal architect of his crumbled empire. Truth remains that as much as he seeks to bring me down (though in historic unsuccessful manner), he unfortunately goes further down himself. The idea of obliging his newspaper as a medium for this level of political subterfuge and mudslinging' gives him away as fighting the most unjust cause. At the appropriate time, I will answer Orji Uzor Kalu and his failed attempts of untactically bringing me down. For four years he had tried and for more than five years he has failed and will continue to fail.


Ordinarily, dignifying the said Chijioke Chukwu with a response would appear unreasonable, falling to the trap of joining him to make prejudicial statements and possibly going the path of dishonour. However, in the interest of my numerous supporters and family members, I consider it appropriate to put the records straight.

I will therefore state on unequivocal terms that Chijioke Chukwu who came a distant third in the elections is publicly seeking for my attention having failed in several attempts to ambush me using diverse nocturnal, outlandish and divisive methods to reach me. From the build up to the elections till the time of this report, I have never given meeting Chijioke in any guise the minutest thought. I know the extent of foolhardiness associated with such meaningless ventures, given too that Chijioke Chukwu is in my opinion a desperate being who wallows in self pity and one out to achieve mischief. I will therfore state categorically that

1. Chijioke did not tell the world that his fondness for cheap blackmail, trading in lies and deception compelled him to swear to a false affidavit using his liar Bailiff friend that I was duly served notice of his petition. If Chijioke truly fears God and has the slightest modicum of dignity left in him, let him deny that he did not lie about serving me personally, forging my signature and deceiving the court that I was served the notice. Truth is constant. When a man is enveloped with varying degrees of self invented fear, he could walk the miles to expose his desperation. The same SUN Newspapers published the unfounded allegation that a certain 'ghost' Bailiff was manhandled in the process of serving me. Because that lie has expired, inventing another lie would therefore be expected.

2. Mentioning PDP Stakeholders in Umuahia as threatening his life is a veiled way of admitting that Chijioke is desperately trying to make something out of nothing. There is basically no connect between PDP Stakeholders Umuahia (whatever that coinga means) in an election he failed woefully that was held in Bende State Constituency. No matter how he tries to present himself, it will remain in the imagination of his senses and an unachivebale logical construct that does not exist anywhere. I will therefore challenge him to either mention these non existent Stakeholders or publish a transcript of his conversations with them. We are in a digitised world that abhors thinking in analogue mood like this Chijioke is doing at the moment.
3. Of all the lies, the one I consider most laughable is the allegation in his own words that: "There are more serious criminal dimensions to the case, which I did not pursue before the tribunal. In fact, the results he submitted to contest the election from the beginning were all forged
4. I do not know whether to sympathize with Chijioke's high level ignorance or pity his unprecedented stupidity. Any sane man knows that the easiest way for him to have prove his allegations would be to avail himself of legal procedures open for such magnitude of allegations. Abia State University Uturu is not in the moon. The court does not thrive in speculation and would not gift any man what he does not deserve. My academic records are not only comprehensively genuine but a pure expression of my academic excellence. A mere Subpeona of the issuing authorities would have exposed the minutest irregularities. It is therefore useless to canvass on the pages of newspapers what he could not prove in court. The reference to other criminal dimensions is self patronage as the only thing Chijioke has not done is to dance naked on the streets to drive home his desperation.

5. Chijioke Chukwu is only playing a mindless blame game otherwise he ought to have known that the respected Justices at the Tribunal in Umuahia are knowledgeable enough to know the difference between seeking for attention and dispensing incontrovertible justice. I have no doubt in my mind therefore that Chijioke's attempt to intimidate the Judges will fail just like his other nocturnal overtures had also failed. Justice is not delivered on the basis of sentiment but on incontrovertible facts devoid of self pity, deceptive whistle blowing and issuing prejudicial statements.

6. The Commissioner of Police and indeed Abia State Command work with renewed vigor and strength in maintaining law and order. It is not my business to know where Chijioke goes and what he does but I do know that Chijioke has freely attended to the matter in the tribunal without fear of molestation. One therefore wonders where Chijioke manufactured the lie that his life is being threatened. While I will not speak for the police, it is easy to know that a character as unstable as Chijioke can cook the most devastating lies to curry favor. Unfortunately, anybody who trades in unfounded allegations can walk the miles to establish the enormity of his nuisance value.

6. I only know that Chijioke is from Ugwueke. His specific address is not known to me while I can never remember siting him in Aba. While I do well to follow peace with all men, I take time to ignore people who I reason do not add any value to my life. If I had gone to school and acquired genuine results, it will not make sense for me to join issues with a man who prefers to call white black. It will be most in line if Chijioke would publish names of the said persons who had or are threatening his life. I feel however this particular allegation is not far from the senseless one that I forged my ABSU results.

7. While the matter in the tribunal is on going, I urge Chijioke to institute as many criminal proceedings against me in courts of competent jurisdiction and not his hired SUN Newspapers. The man who has a genuine case goes to court and not the Newspaper. I am aware that Chijioke knows that frivolous claims do not fly in courts hence the frustration of resorting to balckmail.

8. I am still wondering how on earth any person would offer to give Chijioke either twenty five or thirty million naira for failing an election. I am also interested in knowing how these foolish millionaires. As for the claims of irregularities, I will not prejudice the court. It is important however that I state in clear terms that evidences abound that Bende North State Constituency appears to have enjoyed the freest and fairest election which result meant an unpopular candidate like Chijioke came a distant third.

9. INEC is a party to the matter already on going in the tribunal. I will also not speak for the Commission. The administrative explanations associated with my registration is within the confines of their job schedule. I will not assume a judge in a matter before a Tribunal of competent jurisidction

9. I do know that issues, opinions and written addresses by all parties to a matter are evaluated by the Judges and not a matter for public opinion until such time judgments are delivered.

10. I have profound confidence that the learned Justices in the matter already at the tribunal know the difference between emotion and hard facts. I am convinced beyond all reasonable doubts that they would be guided by evidences and not sentiments expressed on the pages of newspaper.

11. I will urge Chijioke to desist from further blackmail and politics of subterfuge. While I will not hesitate to seek redress should Chijioke continue with further assassination of my character, I will also quickly remind him that he should first conquer self inflicted fear as it could devastate more than anything else.

T.A.Orji Never Booed at Burial Ceremony in Osisioma

The attention of Senator Theodore Orji, representing Abia Central Senatorial District in the red chamber of the National Assembly, has been drawn to a malicious and misleading report in one of the national dailies claiming that he was booed last Friday at Mbutuoma, Osisioma Ngwa Local Government during the burial of the late husband of Senator Nke­chi Nwaogu, Dr. Rowland Nwaogu.

The said report merely stood truth on the head as Senator Orji was never booed instead he received the highest ovation from the crowd in appreciation of his eventful eight years in office which gave him the appellation "Legacy Governor."

Senator T.A.Orji who was in company of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and other dignitaries only waved his hands to the appreciative crowd at the point of his arrival and departure from venue of the burial.

Ochendo Global is loved by Abians; no amount of blackmail will stop Abians from loving and appreciating the good works he did in Abia State.

This latest laughable report was part of the media war against the high flying Senator representing Abia Central in the Senate by a particular newspaper owner. The sole aim of planting such false and misleading report, is to tar the image of Senator T.A. Orji. But they will not succeed.

The question any discerning mind should ask is why no other newspaper in Nigeria which had their reporters at the burial ceremony published the alleged booing? Nigerians now know better!

Senator T.A.Orji after he left venue of the burial ceremony attended three other events in Bende and UMUAHIA South Local Government Areas of the state where he was again warmly received by the people.

***************

A Socio Political group Abia Reunion based in Umuahia has described as untrue and malicious a story published by the Sun Newspaper claiming that former Governor of Abia State, Chief TA Orji was booed at the burial of Senator Nkechi Nwogu husband's burial last Friday at Osisioma.

The statement said that the story is misleading as notable members of Abia Reunion accompanied Senator Orji to the burial and nothing of such happened. The statement further stated that Senator Orji who arrived the venue of the burial with the Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu who paid received applause from the crowd contrary to what Sun reported.

According to the statement, Abians should disregard the story knowing full well that Orji Uzor Kalu and Sun Newspaper are not happy with the towering profile of Senator Orji.

Abia Reunion insisted that Senator Orji is a man of integrity and honour unlike OUK who has lost political relevance. It is on record that Uzor Kalu had lost elections three times since he left office as the worst Abia Governor. He can best be described as an epitome of deceit, a reckless political nomad. While Senator Orji is serving his people at the Senate courtesy of the mandate given to him by the good people of Abia Central. Hence he will remain focused in his assignment in Abuja.

Exposed! More reasons why the winner of Abia Governorship Election wasn't declared by INEC REC, Salina Oko
Facts have started emerging on the relationship between Alex Otti and Sheila Wilson with phone number: 08188580941 The self acclaimed International observer that spoke before the returning officer announced the cancellation of some results that were reversed later.
We can reliably inform the General Public that the young lady with British ascent, Sheila is Alex Ottis' concubine unknown to many and a close friend to one Mary Ikoku from Arochukwu, Otti's relation who claims to be an activist.
However, the state collation officer, Prof Ben Ozumba is the VC of UNN that recently conferred a honorary doctorate degree on Otti. Another shocker is that Selina Oko Abia INEC REC, is related to Otti's mum.

IS ABIA FOR SALE? He paid $10 million to buy the PDP nomination, and failed; He paid to buy the votes, and failed. Now he's paying to buy a fraudulent result! Abians are you for sale? Somebody should call Alex Otti to order immediately!! Dangote, OUK, Abia INEC REC, Rochas and your APC alliance cannot get you Abia State. Abia State is God's own State and cannot be traded. It is the turn of Ndi Ngwa for equity, fairness, development and regional interest. We are better in PDP for regional interest with our south south neighbors.

Kaa Okezuo Abia!

Alex Otti is wicked and a fraud. He can't be what he want to be by deception

IS ABIA FOR SALE? He paid $10 million to buy the PDP nomination, and failed; He paid to buy the votes, and failed. Now he's paying to buy a fraudulent result! Abians are you for sale? Somebody should call Alex Otti to order immediately!!

When APGA wants to rig Abia guber election

By Madubuko Hart

One Ifeanyi Amanze will not stop to expose himself to public ridicule where he was looking for “stomach infrastructure”. In an article he titled, “Alex Otti, Ochendo And The Election Thieves In Abia State”, he wanted to debase Governor Theodore Ahamefule Orji and the PDP in the state for the phony candidate of APGA, Alex Otti, who came into the party through the backdoor.

Against what Amanze wanted to mislead the world with, there was and will never be anytime that the governor or the party that he leads will rig election because one Otti is contesting. What Amanze failed to realize was that Otti is a political neophyte who will never win in any elections in the state except through rigging as his party did in the last governorship and House of Assembly elections. The prompt response of Abia people who shouted hoax helped to checkmate them. Otti's evil deeds were exposed to the international community.

It wasn’t true that Otti was leading Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu (PhD) in 11 LGAs in the state out of 17 LGAs in the last guber election. This is the make-believe story of the looser’s agent who will stop at nothing to bark and bite like a mad dog he is because of the clear defeat APGA was experiencing in the hand of the PDP in the state.

The theft election materials that the state experienced in the hand of the APGA in the state in the last election were unprecedented. Otti and his party indeed acted true to who they were – desperados. Otti and the APGA were said to be in fraudulent activities while the election lasted. But today, the brain drained Amanze is writing garbage as usual to cast the governor and the PDP against the people.

While we await election in the areas that INEC have announced as inconclusive, it will be advisable to warn Otti and his hack agents like Amanze to desist from inglorious electoral activities as such will not pay them well. They should refrain from ballot snatching here and there. All of these are now public knowledge of course.

Alex Otti and the shooting of Frank Dickson

By Madubuko Hart

Today, Abia State is suffering the greatest deception in the hands of Alex Otti. As if referring to Otti, Xun Zi had said that the petty man is eager to make boasts, yet desires that others should believe in him. He enthusiastically engages in deception, yet wants others to have affection for him. He conducts himself like an animal, yet wants others to think well of him.

This is the archetypal Otti, who regardless-of the peace accord signed by the representatives of the various political parties in Umuahia and Aba, Abia State continues to lead his political campaigns with destruction and open deceit.

Recently at Ikwuano area of the state, it was noted that Otti attacked some Abia indigenes with his thugs and was quick to rush to the press that it was the government of Governor T.A. Orji that attacked. Sources in the Government House, Umuahia had said that Otti stage managed the attack that left human lives destroyed and property worth millions destroyed.

Because Ikwuano is the country-home of the former vice chairman of PDP (South-East) and ministerial nominee, Col. Austin Akobundu, Otti who had gone there to present his manifesto, was into the act to tarnish the image of the Akobundu, who the likes of Ebere Wabara had written a lot of garbage against, in order to stop his ministerial nomination.

Good that in a press briefing titled, “Abia Govt Condemns Violent Attacks Unleashed on Abians by Otti's Thugs” the Abia State government had called on security agencies to look into the alleged shooting of an innocent Abian, Frank Dickson by the armed guards of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Alex Otti at Umuojiocha village square, Oboro in Ikwuano Local Government Area.

According to a source, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Abia State, Dr. ACB Agbazuere, in a press briefing with newsmen at the Government House on the incident, condemned the attack which shattered the legs of the victim who is now receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Umuahia.

The government through its commissioner uttered disenchantment at the attitude of Dr. Alex Oti who has been trying to disrupt the peace of the state and recalled that recently, Otti’s camp shot the PDP House of Representatives candidate for Isiala Ngwa, Chief Darlinton Nwokocha in Isiala Ngwa South, attacked and destroyed campaign vehicles of the PDP governorship candidate, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, in Uturu, pointing out that nobody has monopoly of violence.

While Dr. Agbazuere had warned those instigating violence in the state to not take the humaneness of the governor for granted, it could be recalled that Otti recently also stage-managed his attack with some soldiers at his residence in Ngwa and was also quick to shout that the government wanted to kill him.


Let’s advise Otti with the words of David A. Bednar: Obedience opens the door to the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. And the spiritual gifts and abilities activated by the power of the Holy Ghost enable us to avoid deception - and to see, to feel, to know, to understand, and to remember things as they really are.

.Hart writes from Lagos

Kalu, in a statement, affirmed his membership of the PDP, stating that the form was filled by one of his aides in his absence and without his consent.
“Nigerians would recall that sometime in December 2014, I had a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mua’zu at the Presidential Villa. At the parley, the President appealed to me not to leave the party again, despite the injustices meted to me by the Abia State chapter of the party.
“No primaries held in Abia, delegates were just handpicked, thereby excluding anybody who was not in the camp of the governor, Chief T.A. Orji, from any political aspiration. After the meeting with the President, I told the media that I was satisfied with the outcome.
“From December 18, I travelled to London and did not return till January 8. It was while I was away that one of my aides, without authorisation, filed my papers with PPA.
“We may say he did that in his earnestness to see me serve the people in my senatorial district, but it is something we would still sort out in-house, since he should first have obtained my consent.
“I hereby reiterate the promise I made to President Jonathan that I would remain in PDP, and work for his re-election. I will not go back on my words. Therefore, I won’t be part of the race into the Senate on the platform of the PPA.
“I am not afraid of running, and either win or lose, but I am fully in PDP, and will remain there. I will not disobey the President, who had asked me to stay in the party. That is where I stand,” Kalu said.
