A member of Abia State House of Assembly and deputy governorship candidate of APGA, Hon. Obinna Ichita has challenged those masquerading as leaders and elders of Ukwa-la-Ngwa to go beyond throwing punches on local blogs over who to endorse or not and interrogate what he called the poor leadership skills of the officials of State executive Council. كيف تلعب بينجو
He said effort to make the interest of few persons in the bloc look like the collective interest of the people of Ukwa-la-Ngwa will be resisted.
In a statement on Tuesday, the lawmaker strategic important roads in Ukwa-la-Ngwa are in ruins while the two local governments in Ukwa have nothing to show they are oil producing communities despite having their son, Okezie Ikpeazu as the Governor.
“Rather than condemn the poor leadership skills of the officials of the executive arm of Abia state government,some elders from Ukwa la Ngwa are busy throwing punches on local blogs and tabloids about whom to endorse as the next Governor of Abia.
“Presently, strategic and important roads in Aba, the heart beat of Ngwa land lay in runs. The two local governments in Ukwa are literarily cut off from the rest of the state due to bad roads. Ukwa, the land that made Abia an oil bearing state is desolate and abandoned. The elders have never condemned the administrative ineptitude in Abia” he said. مراهنات كرة القدم اليوم
The lawmaker expressed shock that those jostling to endorse candidates have turned a blind eye to the poor state of infrastructure in Abia, instead demonstrating partisanship, warning that no group can solely decide who becomes governor in Abia.
“Since when do elders sit idly at home and watch the goat deliver in the tethers?
“The silence of these “leaders and elders” of Ukwa la Ngwa in the face of gross abandonment of public infrastructure in both Ukwa and Ngwa lands, in addition to the attempted emasculation of opposition politicians, and the primitive attacks on opposition lawmakers in Abia, speak to the partisan nature of this group of people. They are after their personal interests and not the interests of the people of Ukwa la Ngwa.
“I am a bonafide indigene of Aba, the heart of Ukwa la Ngwa. I represent one of the most important constituencies in Ukwa la Ngwa in the state parliament, hence, I have unimpeachable rights to offer opinions on issues that concern Ukwa la Ngwa.
“There is no gainsaying that the next Governor of Abia will not be determined by a few elders from Ukwa la Ngwa.In fact, as it is now, no cabal in Abia can lay claim to having the powers to exclusively determine who becomes the next Governor of Abia state. bwin sport A third force has emerged in the Abia political landscape !
“The undemocratic actions of officials and agents of Abia state government in the past weeks have further vindicated those who rejected the idea of a state police.
“The belief that law enforcement agencies can be used to intimidate the opposition in our democracy is primitive and Undemocratic. The professionalism of the federal security and intelligence agencies must be commended.
“Lastly, instead of the boring endorsement of any governorship candidate by Ukwa la Ngwa elders, many Abians would love to read the position paper of the Ukwa la Ngwa elders on the performance of the present government of Abia state led by an Ukwa la Ngwa son. A sector-by-sector analysis would elevate the conversation about governance beyond parochial considerations.
“Revolutionary Abians shall resist any attempt to be confused by a few elders “who try to say Emi Lo Kan in Ngwa dialect,”” he said.
