On Saturday, I will love something to happen. I
may be confused on who to
vote for on the presidential election, but there is
one reason I am
optimistic. Somebody would get disgraced, and
he is TA Orji. There is
nothing else he deserves than that. He has failed
Abia state and himself.
This is a man who has spent eight years as a
governor, and has nothing to
show for it. This is a man who has all at his beck
and call to succeed, and
he failed to utilize it. This is a man who is yet to
understand the true
meaning of democracy. He is the one to lose.
What a way to end his political career. He has
decided to deride himself
for the last time and contest for a senatorial seat.
God forbid that such
people represent us. Abia is moving forward and
no more backwards. We shall
put hands together and vote him out, while he
waits for EFCC. Justice would
be done.
For eight years, our roads got worse. For eight
years, we suffered
lethargic and inconsistent payment of salaries,
gratuities and pensions.
For eight years, we suffered unemployment. We
suffered intimidation and 13th
century administration. We endured all these,
even as corrupt media houses
sang the praise of a failed leader who spends
handsomely to get praised.
We Abians, home and abroad, would make a huge
statement on this election.
We will start on Saturday by pushing him out of
our state. Then we will
vote in his successor. That successor would be a
man who has distinguished
himself in the banking industry and is ready to
clean up Orji’s mess. His
name is Alex Otti.
