Our attention has been drawn to an online reportage where the Senator representing Ebonyi Central in the Nigerian Senate is quoted as saying that, "insecurity cannot stop Southeast from producing the next President of Nigeria". He even added that, "It is the turn of the Southeast to produce the next President of the country and insecurity cannot stop it". He also cited regions where there is war, yet they produced the President and concluded that no amount of insecurity can stop the Southeast this time. Interesting!
For emphasis of clarity and by way of a brief introduction; Ogba is the Senator representing Ebonyi Central in the Nigerian Senate under the platform of what is left of the tattered PDP in Ebonyi State.
Memory lane; Ogba was among the top members of the PDP who cried foul when His Excellency, Engr. Dr. David Nweze Umahi, fnse, fnate adduced reasons for his defection to the ruling APC with his loyalists and supporters in Ebonyi State; one of which is the failure of the the PDP to zone the presidency to the Southeast geopolitical zone and his resolve to fight for and grab the presidency for the Southeast under the platform of the APC. Ogba and his group of envious and evil men championed a crusade of "crucify Governor Umahi" all over the media, insinuating that the Governor was "only after his own personal and selfish interests".
Today, Ogba has suddenly turned an Igbo "nationalist"; he too is saying that the Igbo nation shall produce the next President of Nigeria regardless of cases of insecurity in the zone. This is the same pronouncement for which himself and his partners who relish in the backwardness of Igboland vilified Governor Umahi for. Is Ogba not after his own "personal and selfish interests?"
The hypocrisy of Ogba and indeed the entire remnants of Ebonyi PDP is laughable. How can they publicly derogate, denigrate and deride Governor Umahi for agitating for a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction, come 2023 and turn round to start supporting the agitation? Indeed, the shamelessness of grown-up men with wives and children is the worse of all times.
Ogba and his group of confused PDP politicians should know it that they are late comers in this clamour for zoning the Presidency to the Southeast geopolitical zone and as such they should just go and hide their heads in the sand like the ostrich. They claim to know and understand Nigerian politics better than Governor Umahi because of their claims to being "Methuselahs" in the game of politics, thereby demonstrating their ignorance of the agelong maxim that "the wisdom of King Solomon is better than the age of Methuselah". This is where Governor Umahi has an edge over all of them because they boast of their age in politics while the Governor prides in his wisdom. Ogba and his group should go to the ants and learn their ways and be reasonable for once.
Talking about insecurity as a no obstacle to Southeast presidency in 2023 to news men, what has Ogba and his rag-tag PDP done either to nip future occurrences in the bud or to visit the affected areas and commiserate with bereaved families by giving them succour? Nothing! What Ogba does in the Senate is the deployment of rhetorics to create a false sense of seriousness against the insecurity in some parts of Ebonyi State. This deception must stop.
Nonetheless, we shall remain proud of our dear Governor for always reading the direction of every political pendulum and for always seeing tomorrow like Nostradamus. No amount of deceits by Ogba his fellow Abuja Gorillas can make Ebonyians see him/them in the Igbo nationalistic light he now struggles to portray himself.
May God keep vindicating Governor Umahi and keep showing him the way.
APC.
Umahi is the answer!!
