ORJI KALU, IN HIS GUILTY CONSCIENCE, SHOULD LEAVE GOD OUT OF IT

A clear conscience they say fears no accusation. The guilty, on the other hand, habitually wanders from one self-indictment to another, being at war with himself and concluding that arrangements have been perfected to bring him to justice.

The former governor of Abia State, Chief (Dr?) Orji Uzor Kalu, whose eight-year official tenure and three years of imposed control of the fortunes of Abia State left nothing for which Abia people can be proud of has continued t-o indicate interest in stirring the honest's nest in God's Own State,

Kalu's latest idler's provocative utterances are contained on page 43 of This Day Newspaper of Friday 19th October, 2012. Speaking through his specie Adviser; Political;Oyekunie Oyewunmi; Kalu who no doubt, has become? Prisoner of self-guilt expressed apprehension of what he assumes the likelihood of being 'probed by the Abia State Government'.

There is no doubting the fact that deep down his heart Kalu knows dial one of the administrative cum judicial legacies the Chief T. A. Orji's administration should not fail to leave for Abians is not to subject Kalu's stewardship to .proper accountability. SinceKalu knows this is a necessary step, he should not resort to any panic measure or hide under any cover to seek for public sympathy.

Kalu in his present state of trauma and disorganization/ should also leave God out of it. By trying to claim that he 'Governed Abia with the fear of God; Kalu is unwarrantedlytrying to remind Abians how badly humiliated they felt under his administration which consistently insisted on coercing supporters into one form of fettishness or another.

If he knew God existed and believed in Him, why should he have taken his followers toUmuhuezechi in his Bende Local Government Area or Okija in Anambra State for idolatrous administration of oath of extra-judicial allegiance to his family?

The former Governor should not be mischievous in trying to play on the intelligence of Abians by spuriously assuming he was responsive to the people's plight. Does Kaluwant to pretend to have forgotten that during his tenure my Oil producing people ofUkwa-West pleaded with him unaccountably for the establishment of Abia State Oil Producing Area Development Commission but all their pleas only amounted to hitting the head against a brick wall? He is not happy that what he denied Oil-producing communities of the state, Ochendo, without any hesitation abundantly gave to them. Is it not rather unfortunate that Kalu who, as soon as he was elected Governor assumed the regrettable role of an infant-terrible by crudely insulting all the powers that were in Nigeria and by so doing alienated Abia State from Nigeria's main stream politics is still deceiving himself with the hallucination of Igbo liberation.

Being driven by parochial and selfish motives, Kalu set up his 'Orji Uzo Kalu Free Medical Service', an outlet he cleverly used to extort one million naira monthly from each of the seventeen Local Government Councils of the State. The quality of service rendered by this revenue sapping unit was not as good as one that a patriotic .and more organized mobile dispensary could/ ordinarily have offered. Kalu for eight years could not lay even one foundation stone of a maternity in the state not to talk of a Primary Health Centre.

But the people's Governor, Chief T. A. Orji, whom he has recklessly and preposterouslyresolved to cast aspersion upon, has, despite all challenges, built, equipped and staffed two hundred and ten Primary Health Centers in the State. Chief T. A. Orji'sadministration has built two functional diagnostic centres, one at Umuahia and the other at Aba. The hitherto ill-equipped Amachara General Hospital has been redesigned,reconstructed, equipped and re-engineered to effectively serve as a specialist Hospital. Orji Kalu, for

Eight plus three years, represented darkness and retrogression and, so, lacks basis for comparison with Ochendo.

Orji Kalu, in his desperation to paint white black talked of 'over bearing corruption'.Does Kalu think that. Abians have forgotten too soon that equipment ordered by the state Government to modernize the Abia News Paper;. The Ambassador disappeared into the thin air and before they could say Jack Robinson, they had started seeing "The Sun" on the streets of Nigeria-Roads in Aba have always given headache to governments of the day. Kalu, in his commercial amnesia/ would forget that the late charismatic Governor of Old Imo State; Chief Sam Mbakwe, Ph.D, whom he was treating with unmitigated contempt while he was Governor of Abia State, became known as a weeping Governor because of roads in Aba. Governor T. A. Orji hasindicated clear interest in rehabilitating roads in Aba. This interest is evident in Aba -Owerri Road which he has dialyzed, Ukwu-Mango, Samek and Danfodio roads. Despite the rains, palliative measures are being put in place on such other roads as Brass, Faulks and Port-Harcourt. Above all, the Governor has assured Aba residents ofa full scale rehabilitation of roads as soon the rains abate.

By God's grace, Ochendo will leave Office on 29th May, 2015 and Commissioners that are currently serving under him, could then beat then-chests and say; our governor built

1.    A four-storey elevator-installed civil service secretariat x2

2.    Five thousand capacity international conference centre

3.   A new Government House,

4.   New High Court buildings at Umuahia and Aba

5.    Befitting office complexes at the Ministry of Justice

6.    A forty-eight one storey office complex at the Broadcasting cooperating of Abia/

7.   Amaokwe Housing Estate

8.   Amauba Housing Estate

9.   Development of an Industrial Market at Ndume Umuahia 

10.  Umuahia Modem Market at Ubani Umuahia

11.  Two hundred and ten Primary Health Centres

12.   Two Diagnostic Centres

13.   Re-designation and Structural Up-liftment of Amachara Specialist Hospital

14.   Renovation of Nnamdi Azikiwe Secretariat

15.   Rehabilitation of many roads in the State

16. Initiated and enhanced payment of a minimum wage of twenty thousand and one hundred naira to Abia Public Servants

17.   Reintegrated Abia to Nigerian's main stream politics,

18.   Unified the generality of Abians

19.   Re-directed the government of God's own state to God

20.   Released one billion naira Agric interest free loan to Abians and

21.   Worked in harmonious synergy with Mr. President to resuscitate NNPC Depot atOsisioma which became dysfunctional during the era of Orji Kalu.

What can those who served under Orji Kalu as governor point at as legacies of that administration?

It is high time Orji Kalu learnt to appreciate that having murdered sleep in Abia State/ he would remain tormented and may sleep no more. He should realize that trying to distract the good government and people of Abia State through irresponsible speculative accusation of acquisition of wealth by the incumbent governor who is irrevocably determined to leave quantifiable legacies has only gone to strengthen an already held opinion that Kalu's characteristic stock-in-trade is enshrined in falsehood and cheap blackmail.

Diamond bank after Reagan Ufomba in a bid to recover their money

 

Ogoni born Reagan Ufomba who adopted Abia as his state has come under serious trouble again as Diamond bank is set to seize his property he illegally acquired as he can't raise money to pay the millions of naira he borrowed from the bank for his election. 

This news online gathered that Reagan has been pleading with Babangida to come to his rescue but the Minna born general has continued to shun him as he described him as a 419 politician. Babangida it was gathered told off Reagan whom he claimed duped Nigerians with his fake Reagan cement. For Babangida Reagan is a fox who cannot be trusted. He attributed the failure of Reagan in the last election to his deceitful nature and urged Abians to reject him in 2015. 

Meanwhile the bank says there is no going back in it.

See What OUK has been reduced to? Shame

SEE WHAT OUK HAS BEEN REDUCED TO?

Orji Uzor Kalu

 

• SOUTH EAST OHANEZE YOUTHS POISED TO RESIST HIM

I recollect advising him to remain quiet in his self appointed political exile. He would not listen. I also knew that in his usual characteristic manner, he wanted to test his popularity. Having seen the torrents of abuses and rejections that followed his declaration of interest to be at the forefront of Igbo Presidency 2015, I also expected him to do the needful – a volte face. He went to Abi

a and disgraced himself. He has also shamelessly moved to Enugu where OHANEZE YOUTHS have dressed him in the right robe of abject rejection.

Now, OHANEZE and even children (see The Nation, Monday Oct. 8, 2012) under the aegis of IGBO YOUTHS are calling OUK to order. They have insisted that OUK does not deserve to be given the honor of representing the Igbos. They insisted that when he had the opportunity of using Abia State to proof how purposeful he could be as a leader, he only succeeded in selfishly enriching himself at the expense of the collective gains of Abians. They also said OUK is secretly working for a Northerner who would field him as a Vice – Presidential candidate, as he only intends to use the Igbo platform to achieve his usual selfish interest.

I am beginning to see myself as an adult who is supervising the she goat deliver on its tether. Bad as this is, I also need to voice out for the umpteenth time that OUK was (and still is) Abia’s greatest mistake; for laying the foundation of an underdeveloped Abia. As we are arranging our lives, he would do also a great favor by stopping further insult on our intelligence. It is only hat way that picking our pieces would be done without further hitch.

OUK has never worked for the collective good of Igbos. Showmanship is all he does. After that, he engages VIPs in fights to increase his notoriety rating. All his life, he has made more enemies for Igbos than friends. I stand to be corrected as the only thing that can counter this assertion is for him to highlight what he had been able (apart form ise okwu) to attract for Igbos. Let OUK leave us alone to organize ourselves using men of integrity whose views would be respected, whose values are attractive and those who would place service above self. We know his antics and would be too foolish to become second fools. There is no record of any good work while he was Governor of Abia State for eight years. He did not undertake even the minutest capital project and ended up impoverishing the State. Just how can a man who found Abia State too big to govern and too large for him to make any meaningful impact; now ask us to support him to rule Nigeria?

THE MANY LIES OF REAGAN UFOMBA

Reagan Ufomba was Sepcial Assistant on Integrated Rural Development to former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu. Part of his brief was to strategically develop a workable formula that would checkmate rural – urban drift, which at the time depleted human resources necessary for the development of rural communities. He was the Government’s Chief Advisor on issues bothering on the improvement of farming, the preoccupation of most rural communities in Abia. He denied ever being in charge of fertilizer distribution to rural farmers. When the Special Assistant on Rural Integration denies being in charge of distribution of agricultural inputs, he would need to tell us who was. He seems to be good with dates and records. Let him also tell us if he is familiar with the document on this wall.

Reagan, “Mr. Value Chain” would do well to tell us on this thread what Value Chain policies he was able to cause the government to impact on rural dwellers. He should also tell us as the Special Assistant on Rural Integration which Governor’s Assistant at the time was in charge of agricultural inputs, especially fertilizer in rural communities. I want to give him another opportunity to lie.

The letter attached to this piece specifies in simple terms that REAGAN UFOMBA was actually assigned an official vehicle which he criminally told the government was involved in a ghastly motor accident. There is no record anywhere that he returned the vehicle. Let him proof that to us. Reagan as a Harvard ( I wonder) trained graduate should please show us evidence that he actually returned that vehicle after resigning on grounds of principle (how ridiculous). I am also sure he has no short sense of history and knows the difference between resigning and being asked to exit. May be, just may be; he would publish on this wall further evidence to proof he resigned voluntarily.

I would not have gone this far if Reagan did not start ascribing to himself the status of a superstar. He has made so much noise about being principled and being grounded on the rudiments of VALUE CHAIN. He would need to reconcile for us the relationship between his existing criminal records, abysmal performance as a political office holder and his new song of being the Messiah.

Just what is there to value about Reagan Ufomba. Somebody should please tell me. I will give up my ambition of becoming Governor if Reagan Ufomba can convincingly refute any of the points above.

Shame: Orji Kalu's Party, PPA, blast him for comparing self with Awolowo, Abiola

Orji Kalu’s Party, PPA, Blasts Him For Comparing Self With Awolowo, Abiola

The party says the former Abia governor is a political liability and influence peddler
The National chairman of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), Chief Ken Gbalokoma, has chided former Abia State governor , Orji Uzor Kalu, for rating himself with the likes of Chief Obafemi Awolowo and M.K.O. Abiola.

Mr. Gbalokoma said in a press statement in Abuja that Mr. Kalu has no basis for comparing himself with them because, while the duo are political icons in their own right, the former Abia governor was “a political liability and influence peddler.”

Mr. Gbalokoma advised credible Igbo leaders to spearhead the struggle for the Igbo presidency, cautioning that “leaving the advocacy to the likes of Kalu would obfuscate the dream of the South East.”
Arguing that Kalu had no presidential ambition, he added that the former governor was merely seeking relevance and credibility within the polity by declaring that he would contest, recalling that he had used his former position as PPA leader to trade the party’s cases for millions of dollars at the Kano and Zamfara governorship elections petitions tribunal.

He said Orji Kalu was only grandstanding as a presidential aspirant to draw public attention away from him as a suspect on corruption charges.

The PPA national chairman said he decided to raise alarm before his party would be used for trading, urging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to step up vigilance to stem the hijack of political parties by those determined to destroy democracy.
Noting that Mr. Kalu, in his eight years as Abia State governor, could not differentiate between his personal funds and the public treasury, the PPA national chairman wondered what manner of president Mr Kalu would make.

He blamed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) “for allowing Kalu a free reign in the political space due to lack of deligent prosecution.”
He said during his tenure as governor, Mr. Kalu failed to develop infrastructures in the state, yet left behind a debt of N27.3 billion.
He therefore, appealed to the EFCC to accelerate the trial of the former governor to ensure his immediate incarceration.

BEHOLD THE NEW ENEMIES OF ABIA STATE

They are either living overseas or in States other than Abia. They hardly come home and had long lost touch with realities of life. Their senses are beclouded in emotions. When you open their bags, what yo u see is a multi – media phone, camera, ipad and colored spectacle. They have no good paid jobs and are willing tools in the hands of political jobbers, criminals and disgruntled elements. Unfortunately, you will find no records of their positive impact on their immediate communities.

For 24hrs, they get their eyes and hands fixed on a computer. They vowed never to see any good, hear no good and talk no good about their own Abia State. They grumble, blackmail and incite the rest of the people against the Governor and institution of the State. They see glasses of water as half empty and not half full. Every day, they inundate visitors to social network sites with gory pictures. They are wet blankets. Development is only when their brother mounts the saddle of leadership. Meanwhile, they have neither voted nor voted for. They are armchair critics who masquerade as super champions.

They have failed to appreciate that the TAO government is known to have favored NDI NGWA more than any other in the history of Abia authoritative allocation of values. It is therefore foolhardy to claim to represent a people who are blessed with:

1. Nine out of sixteen Commissioners (Works, Rural Development, Environment, Petroleum, Housing, Special Duties, Women Affairs and Social Development, Sports and Agriculture) in Abia State. By the way, those are choice ministries.

2. Twenty four out of Forty three Special Advisers

3. Two out of three federal senators

4. Five out of eight members of the Federal House of Representatives

5. Accountant General of the State

6. Auditor General of the State

7. Chairman of State Civil Service Commission

8. Acting Chief Judge

9. Heads of Religious organizations

10. TC Chairmen of all Local Governments in Abia South and partly central including the two metropolitan Local Governments in Aba (first of its kind). The implication is that they control nine (Aba North, Aba South, Isiala Ngwa South, Isiala Ngwa North, Ugwunagbor, Osisioma, Ukwa West, Ukwa East, and Obingwa) out of seventeen LGAs

The under listed people should be held accountable for any breach of peace or in event of any orchestrated hate against NDI NGWA. They are fighting a lost battle and further criminally enriching themselves at the expense of their kinsmen who have been promised better days ahead.

Let Abians know them:

· Obioma Ugochukwu Ubani (+49170237608)

Obioma was accessory to, before and after most of the kidnap incidents that occurred within the Obingwa area of Abia State where he led a group of unscrupulous and dissident NGWA elements to cause hurt, untold hardship and untimely death of others.

At the heat of intervention by the Military, Obioma escaped through the help of notable NGWA politicians, though his family house and those of his immediate co – conspirators were torched. It was also gathered that this Abaribe’s cousin was quickly sponsored by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator Nkechi Nwaogu and some others to flee the country and invariably escape being brought to justice.
 
Obioma who currently resides in Denmark with personal phone number +49170237608 and email obi@ubani.info has been paid heavily by Abaribe and other authors of confusion to destabilize the government of Abia State, cause disaffection, rancor and acrimony amongst Igbos. He was basically directed to set up social network pages like Abia Awakening, Abia Tower and Abia Peoples Voice to achieve this purpose.

Obioma it was who was sponsored to convene a meeting of disgruntled elements at Rowmay Hotels, Opobo Road Aba in December 2011 where they founded The Abia Awakening (TAA), that he has been using to cause confusion in Abia State

· Maxwell Nwadike (229-97-571168)

He is the Founding Chairman of The Abia Awakening (TAA). Maxwell has a Cotonou wife, leaving behind in Aba, his other wife and children who he left at the mercy of poverty and hard life. A greedy Ngwa man who erroneously jumped into the business of selling used (okirika) clothings and bags, his grouse against Old Bende people was that while they made so much money selling used clothings, they refused to show him the way. He ran out of Abia to live in Cotonou and operated with the name Samax International Co,Sarl situated at C / 213 gbenonkpo; Benin. The idea was to stay at the centre of used clothings which Cotonou is. Several years after trying without success in his Okirika business, he resorted to blackmail as a quick way of making money. He does not know where Ohafia is, has never been to Umuahia and does not appreciate the challenges being faced by Isuikuwato, Arochukwu and Umunneochi people. All he wants to achieve is to discredit OLD BENDE people as a means of paving way for the Ngwa man to become Governor in 2015. He has questionable character and exhibits unbridled quest for get rich quick, hence his acceptance of becoming a willing agent of confusion just to make ends meet.

· Patrick Amalaha (+18327578903)

Bad boy of America, Patrick is a disgruntled NGWA man who went in search of greener pastures overseas. Several years on, no tangible progress can be traced to him. He shuttles between overseas and here, people take advantage of their positions to attract genuine government presence and not spread dangerous rumors capable of scaring investors away. Nothing is known of his business as his native home remains his father’s forty six year old house. No wife, no children; Patrick is the Secretary of the infamous TAA. Once known to deal in dangerous drugs and illicit products, Patrick has tried unsuccessfully to get the attention of the State Government for being gratified. He is a
celebrated blackmailer and conspirator of note. Patrick Amalaha is Reagan Ufomba’s kinsman and by association a wet blanket.

· Chinedu Nwogu

He lives in Lagos and also an active member of TAA who was planted by Ochiagha Reagan Ufomba to sell him (Regan) to Abia electorate. For identifying with Reagan, an underachiever and fellow with questionable integrity, Chinedu has proven that he lacks wit and purposefulness.

Chinedu who hails from Isiala Ngwa had written a letter in the past to the State Government pleading for financial assistance. His stiff opposition to the government may not be unconnected to the rebuff he got from a government who feels informed him that the days of holding the givt to ransom were long gone. Chinedu it was who attempted to organize his kinsmen for amnesty when it was certain that his immediate interest was personal gain. His wife confirmed to be a member of the red light district is left to fend for the rest of the family while he carries on with the business of blackmail and criminal conspiracy.

· Lawrence Ehiliegbu (08036725809)

He is a founding member of TAA, a group poised to make Abia comprehensively ungovernable. He is married to Ngozi, daughter of a traditional native doctor in Isiala Ngwa. Lawrence who lives in Lagos was a former staff of defunct Aba Textile Mills where he was initially employed as a casual worker. Though much younger, he was relieved of his job when he was caught stealing finished products. He was to later resurface from his hiding when he got wind of the ‘lucrative’ business of kidnapping. This was not to be as security operatives had taken over his village in Isiala Ngwa. He is working closely now with a serving Senator who is aspiring to be Governor in 2015. He has been contracted to destabilize the polity, blackmail other groups and inadvertently swing favour on the side of an NGWA man. He is a chronic liar and trades in deception, selfishness and greed. Lawrence Ehilegbu is one of the Administrators of Abia People’s Voice, his brainchild dedicated to foisting the NGWA agenda on the rest of Abians.

· Sussan Uzoma (Separated from her husband)

He (yes, he because her kind of woman are those addressed as Mr and Mr because she knows how to oppress even her former husband) is also a co – founder of TAA. Susan who is an NGWA woman claims to be a lawyer (must have attended an Indian College as her command of English is horrible) is separated from her husband. She lives in Lagos from where she imagines a failed Abia. Susan got the boot from her husband for acts of infidelity and criminal association with men. This is evident in the fact that she is the only female Admin of TAA matching the other men wickedness for wickedness. Her known occupation is being an ACTIVIST which is the same as saying she is idle and unfortunately unemployed. Susan who is one of Maxwell Nwadike’s concubines is equally determined to cause trouble in Abia.

· Igwe Samuel Obioma ( a murderer)

Igwe lives in the UK. An Ibeku man who is known to have murdered one Aham while he lived in Umuahia. Igwe has a murder case pending in court. Having tried without luck to get the Governor, a fellow Ibeku man to criminally protect him, Igwe went on self exile. He has never hidden his disdain for the Governor. An active member of TAA who has refused to highlight the amazing developments going on in his native Ibeku, it is yet to be seen how Igwe; a confirmed murderer would be gifted with the moral justification to criticize the Abia State government. It is however certain that he cannot hide for too long as the long arm of the law awaits him.

In the coming days, I will reveal Chinedu Ngaranwere (08032004399) and others like them who vowed that Abia must be held spellbound. I watch as events unfold to see how far they can go.

The Ngwa Agenda of Frustrating and Sabotaging Government Project in Abia

First, they collaborated with all manner of criminal elements in the ‘lucrative’ business of kidnapping. The colossal effect of that singular act is nothing compared to the devastation being supervised by the Boko Haram across the country. Aba’s best brains, professionals and craftsmen left the city in droves and vowed never to 

come back.

It is a fact that the Goodluck led Federal Govt has achieved verifiable results in the area of power generation and distribution, more than any other administration. Currently NDI NGWA are doing everything to ensure that Abians do not enjoy improved electricity generation as it is in other States. This is even when Abia has a 133KVA at Alaoji (unfortunately, and NGWA LAND) and Prof. Barth Nnaji’s Independent Power Project. They are reenacting their landmark features of greed, frustration and sabotage.

PHCN designed a programme to ensure that owners of properties that tend to obstruct high tension cables are compensated as such houses are demolished to make way for effective distribution of electricity. The end result is improved electricity supply.

Our NGWA brothers now besiege management of PHCN with fake land ownership documents or try to erect structures overnight to obstruct high tension cables. This is in a bid to be compensated. They like money that is not earned. They like wayo and can only service their relationship with you only when they are cheating you. They have combined these traits to deny Abia people of huge economic gains. Just to cushion the effects of these crazy bills, PHCN excludes Abia in their expansion projects. Just for the sake of a group, we are thrown into darkness.

Apart from unbridled quest for underserved compensation, they also take advantage of failed portions of federal roads in Abia State. They gather at night to make artificial ditches on highways. What they stand to gain is the selfish but damaging act of selling all manner of wares to motorists who must stop at such bad spots. These acts equally make way for gentlemen of the highway to have a bazaar.

What is this madness of sabotaging good policies? So, every house now is obstructing the high tension? Just when will these our brothers give up acts of mischief? Must we always suffer untold hardship because we are sandwiched in between lazy and pathologically greedy brothers? Let those they could listen to call their attention to the damage they are causing unsuspecting Abians.

For those who think Frankie James is an alarmist, let them contact management of PHCN to further authenticate the veracity of these allegations.

Chinedu Nwogu and Reagan Ufomba, Faces of Deception

Early this morning, one Chinedu Nwogu of the infamous The Abia Awakening (TAA); attempted to paint a very wrong picture of my native NGWA LAND. He gave the impression that my people are d

iminished for want of credible candidates and enterprising personalities. That was the height of deception. I was however glad that, finally; after months of operating in veiled coloration, TAA has exposed itself as a willing tool in the hands of underachievers who masquerade as statesmen. We now know that the reason they dedicate plenty time discrediting the government of TAO is to pave way for a political dwarf to take reins of power. No group can acquire power through blackmail, at least not in a democratic setting. Ngwa people know this and must distance themselves from these paid agents of calumny, destruction and poorly executed blackmail

In his piece, he tried to eulogize what in his mind are the towering credentials of OCHIAGHA REAGAN UFOMBA who he witlessly gave the acronym of ORU (meaning a slave). I hope he was not referring to the already established fact that Regan is an Ogoni who settled in Ngwa Land. While I take exception to that disingenuous tag, I will also quickly remind him that the battle for the Governorship of Abia State come 2015 is reserved for only NDI NGWA of notable and proven track records. The last time I checked, Regan Ufomba did not make the list.

Chinedu Nwogu attempted rather unsuccessfully to inundate us with chains of University degrees credited to Reagan. Good as that is, it appears defeatist as best practices of governance have little or no relationship with one’s paper qualifications. It reminds me of that popular Igbo rhetoric that, “ka Dee John gachara ami, o leekwanu boot ya?”.

There is no record anywhere to justify the usefulness of Reagan’s very many degrees. The short and uneventful shot he had at governance was marred by lack of integrity and gross under performance. Chinedu may need to tell us what benefits accrued from that short spell as an aide of former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu. Rather, we covered our faces in shame when it was established that our dear Reagan in an attempt to convert Government vehicle to his personal property lied that the car was involved in a ghastly motor accident. That was too cheap for a man who was entrusted with so much public goodwill. What can a billionaire be doing with one unit of government vehicle? Does Chinedu also know that while in government, Reagan was empowered to handle distribution of fertilizer and other inputs to farmers? Reagan could not pass the integrity test as farmers were made to pay much more than government approved prizes. Let us go to the archives to check how many farmers of at least Ngwa extraction that benefited from that assignment.    

If Reagan truly owns chains of businesses in cities outside Abia, we can as well tag him the biggest “ Oka mma n’mba 1 of Abia” for denying his people the combined benefits of establishing industries in their home land. I ask, how would Reagan explain sinking billions (who dash awo coat?) elsewhere when Abia begs for private concerns that could offer jobs to very many Abia Youths who yearn for job opportunities? Not even the dumbest fool can give in to that cheap lie.

For the records, Reagan was never mentioned as a replacement for the late Deputy Governor. First, he lacked the integrity to be so honored and mostly the party was shopping for a politician who had verifiable grassroots support. Reagan hadn’t the prerequisite political clout to be Deputy Governor as he was largely seen as a greenhorn. It is therefore unacceptable to present him as Ngwa’s most qualified replacement for Dr. Chima Nwafor.

Ngwa people already have strong stigma following them. What we need mostly now is to find a way to salvage an already worst case scenario. We have been credited with a whole lot of bad news including labeling us fraudsters, kidnappers and common criminals. Chinedu Nwogu should begin to lead the campaign for improved awareness on the perception of NGWA by the rest of Abians and not further insult our intelligence to accept a man who had contributed in under developing NGWA LAND nay Abia State.

Come 2015, NGWA people will present a formidable candidate, whose popularity rating is overwhelming, whose integrity status is not questionable and who would be bold enough to look Abians in the eye and tell them; I have done so much to better your lot. There are fools who went to Harvard. Harvard has also produced selfish people and the University by any means does not wash off the stinking smell of dishonesty, greed and low life.

I will advise Chinedu Nwogu to look inwards, else Abians would confirm that NDI NGWA are not committed to the arduous task of taking over in 2015. If Reagan is all we can present, that would be a polite way of telling OLD BENDE that we are not ready yet.
