EMMANUEL UGWUMBA
I came across a laughable RUMOUR this morning that some of the Ukwa Ngwa lazy aspirants went to town with a story that Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah is working with Governor Okezie ikpeazu to distort votes for Dr Alex Otti in Abia North, in other to allow ikpeazu to consolidate in Abia South and Central zones.
My source also informed me that one other APC aspirant is running as part of the conspiracy.
Honestly for an Ngwa man like me, this is a laughable RUMOUR, considering the fact that Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah is the most feared aspirant in Abia State today, because of his popularity and wide acceptance. And because he has plan that will benefit the entire state including those of us from Ukwa Ngwa. Unlike the man we have there who has nothing to show except the fact that he is from Ngwa.
Yesterday they came up with one story that President Buhari has endorsed one aspirant of Ukwa Ngwa stock in APC in Abia State. But before that shameful story could gain ground, the Presidency came out with a rebuttal denying any such endorsement. Having failed to achieve anything with that, they are coming out with another spurious and shameful story that Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah is working with Ikpeazu. This is despite the fact that some people have rumoured that ikpeazu is sponsoring ikonne and emenike to avoid Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah getting the APC ticket.
From the foregoing, my people, it is obvious that Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah is their greatest nighmare and APC’s greatest asset in the 2019 governorship in Abia State.
This is sincerely the reason Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and his team are not concerned about Dr Alex Otiti’s candidature. From the day Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah declared his intention to run for the office of the Governor of Abia State, things have not been the same for all other candidates. Initially they came up with a lazy story about APC being a northern party and Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah being their candidate. But on discovering that Abia people are tired of their lies and are ready to follow Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah to any party he choses, they began to look for other lies they can tell to dispel his influence and the support that Abia indigenes all over the world are giving to him.
But they have always ended up sounding stupid with their stories.
At the risk of sounding immodest, I make bold to say that Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah is more popular than APC in Abia State today. He is the brand face of the party in state and his entrance has brought good fortunes to the party. Dr Alex Otti can never be compared to Ogah and Ikpeazu has no reason to fear otti. Hence the focus is on stopping Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah. Otti won in Abia North in the last election and their story is that Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah will whittle otti’s influence in the zone and allow ikpeazu to excel in the other zones. This does not only sound senseless, it goes to show that those who are driving the RUMOUR lack the strategy to achieve their plan of stopping Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah who is revered in Abia State the same way Buhari is revered in the North.
One can only but laugh at their feeble strategy against a man who has become a movement in Abia State. He has not even taken the party ticket and they are working against his candidature. Does that not tell something about his person? Why are they always talking about him if not for the fear they have about him picking the APC ticket?
Unfortunately I have a bad news for them. It is a news that will send them to political irrelevance except they realise themselves on time and work with Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah. The news is this: Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah is in this race spiritually and physically to win and the good people of Abia State are solidly behind him because they are tired of bad governance and they know that he is the man with the vision to liberate and to deliver the state by the grace of God.
They are pulling those strings to get the ticket and to stop Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah but they have failed from inception. They cannot stop a man whom God has ordained for the season and a man who’s time has come.
I stand with Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, no time for unintelligent RUMOUR MONGERS and cheap political lies cannot stop Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah.
