A group, Movement for Abia Unity and Progress (MAUP) has called on Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe to stop dropping the name of President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu and tell the people of the state what he will do if elected governor in 2015 as well as what he has done with the almost eight years he has spent at the senate.<\/p>\n
\n
In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Francis Eme and National Secretary, Chidiebere Ogbonnaya, respectively, the group\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0accused Senator Abaribe of claiming that he is the only governorship aspirants in Abia state that Jonathan and Muazu calls by name.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We want to use this medium to call on Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe to stop dropping the name of President Jonathan and the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu everywhere he goes to consult people about his ambition. He claims he is the only aspirant Jonathan and Muazu calls by name. He said it during his consultation with the people of Abia North in Ohafia, Abia Central in Umuahia and Abia South in Aba.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rather than dropping Jonathan and Muazu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s names, Senator Abaribe should tell Abia people why he wants to be governor in 2015 and what he has done with the almost eight years tenure at the senate.\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0We wish to remind our senator that the Aba — Ikot Ekpene federal highway among other roads which transverses his Abia South constituency have remained impassable for more than two years now. We wish he could attract President Jonathan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s attention to the sufferings of his Abia South people have been made to go through because eof bad roads.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153If Senator Abaribe claims Jonathan and Muazu calls him by name, let him translate that relationship with the President into the delivery of democracy dividends to his people. Abia people are wiser now and would not allow \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcelection time\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 politicians like Senator Abaribe to take them for a ride again.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Since Senator Abaribe claims Jonathan and Muazu do not know and have not heard of the names of Senator Nkechi Nwaogu, Chief Emeka Wogu and others who are believed to be interested to emerge governor in 2015, we urge him to refrain from name dropping which has been his pastime, even in 2003 when he claimed that President Olusegun Obasanjo adopted him as candidate and leave Abia people to determine who governs them in 2015,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the statement read in part.<\/p>\n
