Ohuabunwa back to the Senate said Ohuabunwa has been retired from active politics, urging him to bury his dream of returning to represent Abia North, adding that era of frying pan politics is gone.

According to Ukairo, Senator Kalu has done exceptionally well for the zone by attracting and constructing not less than 30 roads in the zone.
He said, ” Kalu has brought unimaginable development for Abia North. He has performed beyond what a Senator could do. From road constructions, Kalu has renovated and constructed schools and hospitals. He has empowered several people and offered hundreds jobs . I am sure Senator Kalu won’t descend into the gutter with these career politicians whose trade is only to blackmail others for a peanut. These career politicians should be reminded that we’ve long left Egypt where frying pan was the only constituency project attracted after twelve years.
“Senator Mao Ohuabunwa is a specialist in failure and majority of our people won’t return to Egypt with him. It is on record that even his people in Arochukwu rejected him in 2019. How can they now return to him in 2023?
“Ikwuagwu and his group should tell us why Ohuabunwa’s nomination as PDP National Secretary was rejected by PDP stakeholders from the State. Ohuabunwa’s failure was affirmed by all from Umuneochi down to Arochukwu.
“I am sure this group cannot even come opening to mention Ohuabunwa to Ndi Abia North. Senator Kalu has redefined representation never seen in the history of Abia North. Therefore, it is pertinent to say that we won’t return to the era of sharing frying pan.”
