No One Envies Ifeanyi Ubah

There is an unfolding reality across political parties in Anambra State forcing them to trail behind and benchmark their efforts against what has now become “the APGA/Soludo standard” of political engagement. 

First is that Soludo’s entry into the Governorship race was heralded by an uncommon swell of people oriented advocacy, with over 30 self-funded Support groups scattered across the State with strong grassroots following, it was only a matter of time and the Soludo project became a mass movement that has continued to ruffle the opposition who are unable to muster such sincere following in spite of huge financial inducements. 

Ifeanyi Ubah, who is obviously at the twilight of his political sojourn for outrightly over estimating himself, is frantically courting Soludo’s attention at all cost. From challenging the erudite Professor to a debate on his Manifesto, to his unending attention seeking attitude, one would only imagine his preparedness for even a fighting chance at the November 6 polls.

While we do not care much about the shivers Soludo’s oustanding campaign is sending down their spines, we would only advise Ifeanyi Ubah to court his kind. Soludo is very much busied with selling his programs to ndi Anambra. We can only tell Ifeanyi Ubah to prove his grassrootedness at the polls not on media spaces. 

Until then, we have little time for humpty-dumpties like Mr Ifeanyi Ubah.
