A month ago, former chairman of the State council of traditional<br \/>\nrulers, Eze Isaac Ikonne, had urged Ogah to allow Ikpeazu who is from the<br \/>\nUkwa\/Ngwa bloc to complete two terms in line with the Abia charter of<br \/>\nequity document.<\/p>\n<p>The monarch has explained that it would be unfair to deny the Ukwa\/Ngwa a<br \/>\nchance to serve as two terms as governor as the Abia North and Abia Central<br \/>\nzones, did.<\/p>\n<p>Across Abia state, questions are being asked if Ogah is still in the race<br \/>\nfor the Abia governorship position. To those who raise such posers, Ogah<br \/>\nhas failed to mount a coordinated campaign befitting that of a governorship<br \/>\ncandidate from the ruling party. He appears unprepared for the race. Unlike<br \/>\nthe PDP and APGA governorship candidates, Ogah\u2019s campaign billboards are<br \/>\nnot conspicuous in Aba and Umuahia. Some APC faithful in the state have<br \/>\ncontinued to accuse Ogah of refusing to fund his campaign and failure to<br \/>\nredeem financial promises he made during party events.<\/p>\n<p>Two days ago, the APGA Governorship candidate, Dr. Alex Otti, refused to<br \/>\nstep down for Ogah at a meeting brokered by some APC chieftains and Otti\u2019s<br \/>\nassociates who wants the opposition to sponsor a candidate to defeat<br \/>\nIkpeazu. Sources at the meeting which ended in a stalemate disclosed the<br \/>\nAPGA candidate insisted that Ogah ought to step down for him.<\/p>\n<p>Impeccable sources hint that Ogah\u2019s godfather, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu may have<br \/>\nabandoned him since he knew that the APC governorship candidate is already<br \/>\nrunning against the tide in the election. It was Kalu who \u2018pulled the<br \/>\nstrings\u2019 to ensure that Ogah got the APC governorship ticket ahead of<br \/>\nformidable candidates such as Sir Friday Nwosu, Hon. Martin Azubuike,<br \/>\nComrade Chris Akomas and Amb. Okey Emuchay.<\/p>\n<p>To express appreciation, two days after his victory at the Abia APC<br \/>\ngovernorship primaries, Ogah and his running mate, Hon. Martin Azubuike,<br \/>\nstormed Camp Neya ,Orji Uzor Kalu\u2019s palatial residence in Igbere, where the<br \/>\nlatter raised their hands , affirming Azubuike as running mate. Azubuike\u2019s<br \/>\nadoption as running mate without the input of Abia APC stakeholders almost<br \/>\ntore the party apart. But Kalu later had his way.<\/p>\n<p>Ogah had in a secret agreement ,allegedly conceded some positions to Kalu<br \/>\n.This include appointing his brother, Mascot Uzor Kalu as the Chief of<br \/>\nStaff to the governor, some commissionership , LGA chairmen slots and<br \/>\nseveral financial favours. Others are the chairmanship of major markets in<br \/>\nthe state as well as award of certain contracts. In addition, Kalu will<br \/>\nalso produce the speaker and leaders of the state Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>As a wily old fox, sources close to Kalu said he is having a second thought<br \/>\non sponsoring Ogah\u2019s governorship ambition.\u00a0 The former governor is afraid<br \/>\nof backlash against old Bende people in Aba if the Ukwa\/Ngwa is denied a<br \/>\nchance to complete two terms. Again, Kalu is afraid of \u2018betrayal\u2019 from<br \/>\nanother godson. His experience from his former Chief of Staff, Senator<br \/>\nTheodore Orji who he assisted to emerge governor, is said to be evergreen<br \/>\nin his memory. According to one of his close associates, Kalu won\u2019t risk<br \/>\nanother betrayal.<\/p>\n<p>The odds seem to be highly stacked against Ogah\u2019s ambition. There are<br \/>\nstrong indications that the presidency prefer Ikpeazu to continue and not<br \/>\nready to provide resources to Ogah. To lend credence to the reports, Ogah<br \/>\nhad confided in a popular blogger from the South East that he is too<br \/>\ncareful to spend money because the presidency appears to be backing<br \/>\nIkpeazu\u2019s return.<\/p>\n<p>Another trouble for Ogah is that Kalu is said to be negotiating with the<br \/>\nPDP not to challenge his controversial victory as senator -elect at the<br \/>\nFebruary 23 Presidential and National Assembly polls. The former governor<br \/>\nalso wants his younger brother, Mascot Uzor Kalu, to contest the 2023 Abia<br \/>\ngovernorship election and believes the emergence of Ogah will hurt his plan.<\/p>\n<p>Kalu is too worried that prominent APC members from Ukwa Ngwa bloc are<br \/>\ninsisting on the re-election of Governor Okezie\u00a0 Ikpeazu on the strength of<br \/>\nequity which has seen the Abia North and Abia Central senatorial zones<br \/>\ncomplete two terms on the governorship seat.<\/p>\n<p>According to an APC chieftain from the Ukwa \/Ngwa bloc who preferred<br \/>\nanonymity, \u201cThe people of Ukwa\/Ngwa will not allow themselves to be<br \/>\ndeceived in serving only for years as governor when the Old Bende had taken<br \/>\n16 years.\u00a0 The APC committed a political blunder by not sponsoring a<br \/>\ncandidate from Ukwa\/Ngwa.\u00a0 Though, we belong to APC, we have made it known<br \/>\nto them that It is unfair to return power to old Bende bloc after four<br \/>\nyears. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Most indigenes of the Abia North zone (Arochukwu, Bende, Isuikwuato, Ohafia<br \/>\n,Umunneochi) are in support of the Ukwa\/Ngwa to complete two terms and hand<br \/>\nover to them in 2023 in the interest of equity and unity of the state.<\/p>\n<p>It is undoubted that Kalu who will not like to lose his status as leader of<br \/>\nAPC in Abia, may have chosen to back Ogah for an appointment at the federal<br \/>\nlevel.<\/p>\n<p>*Esiaba, a public affairs analyst, writes from Aba<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\":of\" class=\"hq gt\">\n<div id=\":oe\" class=\"ho\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY SAM ESIABA Five days to the March 9 governorship election in Abia State, thick dark clouds appear to be setting on the ambition of the All Progressive Congress (APC)&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
