Re: Ojukwu Would Have Joined APC - Okorocha by Sant1m: 4:52pm On Aug 24, 2013
the political naivity of igbo youths is becoming alarming, with a level of hate and comdennation i cant phantom. Must every igbo man including rochas belong to apga and by extention a pdp appologist like obi,umeh and bianca, if truth be told the real traitors of ojukwu dream are these three. Rochas should be commended for ensuring that top igbos are counted should incase apc succeed in wrestling power from pdp, to me igbo elites are not polically astute, how come u want all our eggs in the pdp basket, since no one is God what happens to the igbos if pdp loses. The yorubas dont put all their eggs in one basket. Go and find out the voter strenght of each zone and u wii see that apc and okorocha can win the presidency if it is the will of God whether u like it or not. Only then u will be outsiders, spare me the hate. What has pdp done for us, follow obi if u like and keep licking gej butt

Calm.
The day APC people pick a non-Igbo presidential candidate for 2015, that's the day any reasonable Igbo, including Gov. Okorocha, shall disappear from APC. Because whichever party that is not planning for an Igbo to succeed president Jonathan does not wish Nigeria well.

Nigeria, a highly pluralistic country has refused to practice fiscal federalism because oil the only resource it depends on is located only in the southern part of the country.

Nigeria has survived so far through power sharing beginning among its major constituent blocks in a unitary system of government. Power sharing explains why the rest of Nigeria cleared for two Yoruba/southwest presidential candidates in the two most prominent political parties 1999. That was after the three zones in the north had collectively ;ed Nigeria for about 35 years.

Power sharing explains why Nigerians insisted that GEJ/southsouth must succeed Yar Adua.

So Power sharing shall explain why only an Igbo must succeed President Jonathan.

Talk of use of merit to determine GEJ's successor from any part of the country must not arise.

You don't expect a party to come and drop its presidential ticket into the laps of an unwilling people just to satisfy an equity cravings or balancing act

The Igbos rather than put all their eggs in one basket by pledging their body,spirit and soul to GEJ and PDP who have shown just to be a use and dump specialist and who has not given a cast iron commitment to give Ndigbo what you are asking from APC without any measure of seriousness by the people should have adopted the style of saying 'the Ndigbo will follow only the party that guarantee so and so conditions'.

Granted that the Ngiges,Rochas are already there but the cacophony of noise and anti-APC sentiments coming frm u and against those who are trying to represent u in the party might not give any party the confidence to stick its head out for you.

Considerations will be given to the fact that the Ndigbos are not even prepare to agitate for the presidency in 2015 having pledge to follow GEJ willy-nilly. So you can't expect to blackmail the APC into dropping the ticket to you on a platter of diamond without you working for it and showing a seriousness to support the party,something you have not done with PDP.

If eventually Anambra gets APCed then Ndigbos can begin to feel among and agitate for the ultimate prize cos you would have a locus standi and bargaining chip of 2 governors.

That why I feel rather than show open hostilities to APC based on some parochial sentiments which are unfounded and belong in the past,Ndigbos should be tactical and romance the highest bidder....by not issuing derogatory statements against APC but adopt the siddon look approach and commission wisemen to negotiate with the hierachy of APC because whether you like it or not GEJ is being put on his toes by the Northern PDP members for concessions against 2015 while the Ndigbos are just lying fallow promising GEJ all their lives

Re: Ojukwu Would Have Joined APC - Okorocha by jpphilips(m): 7:44pm On Aug 24, 2013
Anambra state has been a battle ground for political mischief over the years. Another election is around the corner and the power brokers are at it again, needless to mention the need for the actors and spectators to harmonize political interest.

i may not have room to delve into the Man called Ngige as a medical director because we have more than enough facts on the ground to unravel the enigma behind this huge political masquerade of our time.

At a time when the govt of Dr chinweoke mbadinuju (odera) like he calls himself have left Anambra state in ruins of sour tales of poverty, underdevelopment, comatose education system and poor Governance.Dr chris ngige with the unrelenting effort of his political God father chris Uba has truncated the franchise of Anambrarians through an election fraud, the first of its kind to be witnessed in any democracy in Africa.

In a region where the late Odumegwu ojukwu was honored, respected or even close to being worshiped to say the least. the machinations of Ngige and chris Uba made Ojukwu look like a "political house boy" when the election results were released, no doubt Ojukwu stood firm behind his political son who brandished posters of economic salvation, with logical slogan of "are we cursed or are we the cause?", also sitting at the board of Eleven companies registered in Nigeria, Ojukwu had no doubt that the son in whom he was well pleased has just arrived.

That was the first time Dr chris Ngige forcefully took that which belonged to Anambrarians, as law Abiding citizens, Anambrarians went to court.

Within the period Ngige was at the helm of affairs in Anambra state, the crook in him manifested once again when he opted to bite the finger that shot him to political limelight, that error in judgement left him in bruises and political epilepsy, Ngige was helpless and being the smart crook he was, he turned to the Masses for his salvation.


Not letting chris Uba's carnage to distract him, he took his political trumpet to the rural areas, he mobilized market women en masse and made sure that all the youth groups and associations were not left out in the largesse.
Ngige did not stop there, he started massive road constructions in rural areas, he revisited the state General hospitals providing them with ambulance services, he vigorously attended to the backlog of salaries and arrears owed by his predecessor, like a charm in the wind, Ngige became "the Man of the people" and once again wore his crown as "Onwa" like he was fondly called.

permit me to state at this juncture that Ngige's road projects were concentrated in his senatorial district and there is a perceived neglect of some core areas of economic interest in Anambra state. Major roads in Onitsha and Nnewi received little or no attention, at a time Ngige was giving Nanka to ekwulobia road a face lift.
Anambrarians have tried to Understand the adumberations behind this marginalization of economic interest to no avail, arguments in the political quarters had it that Ngige as an Administrator knows next to nothing where the core interest of the people lies, or he was playing the card of the drowning man who must buy the goodwill of his people under duress, Ngige will later Manifest more of this obnoxious propensity.


The Judgement of the court of Appeal who sat in Enugu on the 19th of April 2003 dishonorably deposed him of the executive seat of Anambra state and enthroned the rightful winner, Peter obi. Amidst the unceremonious depose of Ngige, his subterfuge on Anambrarians remained potent, an idiosyncrasy that later crowned him a senator of the federal republic.

I choose at this verge to call to memory with revered nostalgia a senator who once represented cross river south constituency, Senator Ita Giwa.
It is on record that at a time when the obasanjo administration was dragging its feet over the bakassi peninsular issue, sen. Ita giwa was the first to speak out in condemnation on the quality of attorneys employed to represent the federal Govt.
other efforts attributed to her name was the call on the floor of the senate for the federal govt to protect the bakassi citizens who were being victimized in the furore that led to their being Alienated in their own country.

this morally bankrupt senator by bigotry standards, threw away what religion defined as morality but took a noble step in the supervision of relief materials and shelter provided for the bakassi people.
History holds senator Ita giwa to a high esteem on the succor she brought to the bakassi people.

Anambrarians made no mistakes in legitimately catapulting their political masquerade Ngige to the exalted senate chambers where the likes of senator Mike Ajegbo and Florence Ita giwa has made a name for themselves, at the expense of Dora Akunyili.

Dora Akunyili like we knew from pedigree brought a comatose Agency to life, Dora put her life on the line to arrest drug counterfeiting in Nigeria. Dora's campaign in NAFDAC till date is still sending reverberating awe to drug counterfeiters who before now ply their trade with impunity.
History will be fair to Dora as the only member of the FEC who passed a vote of no confidence on the Yaradua's handlers, at a time when Nigerians were clamoring for the right thing to be done. Amidst these pedigree of victories and a penchant for carrying the interest of the Masses at heart,Anambrarians handed Anambra east to their political Masquerade chris Ngige.
By now, i have no doubt in my mind that Sane Anambrarians will be regretting that error in judgement, like some of us who voted "fresh air" but were met with "Patience air", in the end.

Within the period Ngige sat firmly in the Senate, deceiving his political houseboys, over 70 bodies were discovered in the Ezu river, there was neither a condemnation nor a strong message to the IGP from the quarters of the self acclaimed "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" even when the whole nation was thrown into pandemonium, the only time he visited was when he heard that the police has hurriedly buried the corpses, till date, there is no extra pressure from the office of the "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" to ensure that the IGP, investigates and bring the culprits to book, i was forced to ask, Does Ngige really know where the interest of his people lie?


still pondering over that issue, within his two years in the senate, Anambra nearly lost a vital economic fulcrum to kogi state by the carnage that erupted from the oil prospecting endeavor of orient refinery.
perhaps Ngige did not understand the Economic benefits of Anambra being listed as an oil producing state or perhaps the crook in him bifurcated the scenario and aligned with the part that Orient was not in his senatorial district therefore, may not be of any interest to him. Till date, Ngige is yet to make public his statements and also form a committee that will bring the warring parties together in other to hoist the Anambra interest beyond umbrage. I ask again; is Ngige's recumbency a curse or are Anambrarians the cause?


Just recently, we saw in the dailies that for two years, the "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" is yet to sponsor a bill in the National assembly amidst huge emoluments and allowances, at a time when sectarian violence is at its unimaginable peak in the north.
last year, the sons and daughters of Adazi humbly resigned to fate and committed to mother earth the repose of their brothers who were attacked in the North during a town meeting, do not misconstrue my intentions here, i do not expect Ngige to do the duty of the commander in chief of the Armed forces, no, but i expected the "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" to write a letter of condolence to the affected families, it will not bring back their dead, but it will boost their sense of belonging that the man who got their mandate remembered them in a devastating time like this, I expected Ngige to write to the JTF commander expressing his disgust on the security lapse that led to the untimely death of his kinsmen and also send a strong message on the need for the JTF to intensify their effort in bringing the culprits to book.
Has Ngige not failed Anambrarians enough?


The climax of this failure was when he put Party interest ahead of the interest of the people who gave him the mandate of representation in the senate, when he rose to the unalloyed defense of his political benefactors to absolve the Governor of Lagos state of any malfeasance in his deportation agenda.
Hitherto, i never knew Ngige had the apparatchik and records for press release all these while he was snoring away in the senate, save for the wrong reasons.
Ngige saw no evil in dumping 72 anambrarians at the bridge head in the Middle of the night, Destitute at that, people by virtue of circumstances of birth has become vulnerable to all manner of social abuse and threats that comes with night fall, Ngige and his cohorts showed no mercy.

Is it wrong for Ngige to use his influence to sway Gov. fashola to ensure that these people were delivered safely to either the Governors Lodge Amawbia or the Govt house in Awka where i believe they can pass the night in the banquet hall or conference room, of course, those were no viable options for Ngige and his cohorts,Just behind the Govt house in Awka is sitting a 90 rooms hotel owned by Ngige himself whose infinite wisdom dictated that these people should be better off in the cold.


Today, this Anomie of a senator is coming back home to play on the sensibilities of his political hallelujah supporters, people who have failed to reason that in the deep sense of what a leader should represent, Ngige remained as Unclad as a coconut without it's shell, his little lopsided achievements under duress can now be clearly juxtaposed with the real Ngige who has a hatred for his people but becomes their messiah during elections, are Anmbrarians not tired of this political chess game? where the people remain perpetually enslaved in the hands of the kings and queens while they gasp for breath as mere pawns.

All the cries of Anambrarians in lagos state this last six months were mere mosquito hums in Ngige's ears, who have avowed to snore himself to the deepest end of slumber.

As the vice chairman of senate committee on power, what gas blue print has Ngige proposed to his committee members to ensure that Nigeria solve the Gas shortage issue which is one of the reasons most power plants are not functioning?

The PIB (petroleum industry Bill) was discussed on the floor of the Nigerian Senate where Ngige was present, in the bill, the petroleum Minister was proposing a DSO for Gas in this age and time, what did Ngige do not just as a senator but a member of the senate comittee on power to send a message to Madueke that a DSO cannot work for Nigeria? how many Gas producing countries are practising the DSO model at this time?

A DSO will encourage corruption and create room for diversion, also, it will discourage vibrant investments in the development of Gas infrastructures in Nigeria, the same DSO for crude rendered our Refineries useless and was stopped in 2008. today, the Senate is doing Nothing to stop DSO for Gas.

still on the PIB, the petroleum minister is proposing flarring permit as an option against tightening more on flaring, not just because of its environmental implications but the need for us to utilize our gas properly, Nigeria loses 2.3billion USD annually on flaring yet we are relaxing laws to encourage it and our "ONWA" in the senate has grown dumb as usual.

Anambra today is recognized as an oil producing state, and Anambrarians are now exposed to the environmental degradation associated with oil exploration, what environmental bill has Ngige proposed to protect the Anambra environment?

what provisions in the PIB addressed the issue of living wage for Nigerians and Anambrarians in the oil and gas industry to reflect on the inherent risk associated with their jobs, Nigerians in the oil industry are paid pittance and treated like slaves, yet we have an Ngige in the senate.

God help Anambrarians if Prof chukwuma soludo scales through the APGA petty screening, Anambrarians will have a choice to correct the error of choosing Ngige over Dora Akunyili,
No doubt, that Ngige's Administrative capacity reeks of betrayal, incompetence and performance under duress,
Same cannot be said for the Amiable prof Chukwuma Soludo, whose tenure as the Governor of CBN, brought a new Economic focus for Nigeria and Nigerians as a whole.

A Man who proved that with a stroke of policy,that he can create more jobs in the private sector than the federal Ministry of labor and productivity, a man who has proved that his economic permutations are legendary and has shown from his manifesto that Anambrarians have a choice to either fumigate their political mosquitoes or leave their fate in the palms of economic Malaria.

An Igbo, Chief Alex Ekwueme, led the G34 group that was the nucleus of PDP atop which OBJ eventually rode to apex power in 1999.
But before I continue to reply you, are you a political novice in Nigeria?

There was a very very small number of Yoruba people in the PDP in 1999 when the rest of Nigeria had to choose between Olusegun Obasanjo (PDP) and Olu Falae of the other coalition of parties for presidency that year.

The Yoruba did not have to beg any group to make OBJ president. Nigerians made OBJ president with the belief that power sharing among Nigeria's constituent blocks was (and still remains) the only way to have peace and stability in the country.
The alternative is confederation - or endless conflict waiting for the day oil revenues stop coming.

Igbos, Yorubas, Hausa/Fulani, Tivs, Ijaws, Bini, etc., supported and voted for Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, not only Igbos.
Today, there are also Igbos, Yorubas, Hausa/Fulani, Tiv, Ijaw, Bini, etc., who are supporting President GEJ for a second term, not only Igbos.

For your information, GEJ is not Igbo, he is of Ijaw ethnic group in the southsouth, the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

jp philips:

Brotherly you obviously have believed the lies told by Ngige's opponents about his performance @ the senate

Being a senator or HOR member is a very difficult job and it involves more than sponsoring bills. Infact if you author or sponsor a bill,the process of getting it listed is akin to doing Cambridge GCE cos you need @ least 1/3 member to sign off on it for it to be read on the floor of the house

If you don't lobby very well, the bill might be thrown out. A bill must satisfy the yearnings of all part of the country and not yr ethnic group alone else it will not fly with other segment of the nation. After that if it passes the first reading, a correction might be forced on yr bill hence you lose the original intentions for it to scale the 2nd reading after which the public might even be asked to make input and all that before it now could go for 3rd and final reading which if successful becomes an act of senate then it requires presidential assent to become a law. In all of these, years may pass by. Infact we have seen several instances starting frm OBJ up till GEJ in which the president will refuse to assent a bill,deliberately allowing it to go stale which after a while the bill dies and then you will have to start de novo(afresh)

But there is nothing like executive powers wherein u have yr plan as to how many road u want 2 construct,skools u want to build,salaries 2 pay n all that...you have the federal allocation coming at every month whether you and the president are not in the same party or not....so you can do so much with executive power unlike as a legislature wherein you are only entitled to 1 or 2 constituency projects which you don't do yourself but if lobbied very well might be inserted in the appropriation act/budget but the president can decide not to fund it claiming there is no money or to spite you if you are not in his party

So we must understand the true picture of things before we condemn people

Who are you trying to deceive?

Hausas kill Igbos in the North every time with the slightest excuse.
Yorubas betray Igbos and side with Hausa all the time.
It is a pity that Rochas and Ngige who I used to respect, have both decided to join the same people who have neglected underdeveloped their region since the civil war and held them political hostage all because GEJ is fulfilling his promises to the South East and APC don't like this and wants to deceive us by using Rochas and Ngige.
Now Buhari and Tinubu owned APC have now used Rochas to divide APGA, the same party that gave him the governorship of Imo State.

I used to like Ngige because he exposed Eselu Uba, but now he has joined worse criminals and when a good person freely associates with bad people, he is now a bad person by choice.

There was a very very small number of Yoruba people in the PDP in 1999 when the rest of Nigeria had to choose between Olusegun Obasanjo (PDP) and Olu Falae of the other coalition of parties for presidency that year.

The Yoruba did not have to beg any group to make OBJ president. Nigerians made OBJ president with the belief that power sharing among Nigeria's constituent blocks was (and still remains) the only way to have peace and stability in the country.
The alternative is confederation - or endless conflict waiting for the day oil revenues stop coming.

Igbos, Yorubas, Hausa/Fulani, Tivs, Ijaws, Bini, etc., supported and voted for Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, not only Igbos.
Today, there are also Igbos, Yorubas, Hausa/Fulani, Tiv, Ijaw, Bini, etc., who are supporting President GEJ for a second term, not only Igbos.

For your information, GEJ is not Igbo, he is of Ijaw ethnic group in the southsouth, the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

I don't completely agree with you. In 1999, the sw leveraged on the death of Abiola to arm twist other groups in giving back to the southwest what is rightfully theirs, because hitherto, Abiola has already won an election but was truncated by the military.

the decision was welcomed as a wise one at the time due to pressures from international quarters and also to calm the polity, with the demise of the head of state whose death reeks of homicide, one cannot underestimate the need to appease the westerners over Abiola.

I dont believe it was a straight journey the way it actually played out, I still believe there were SWsterners in the background who lobbied for it cos I dont believe in the coincidence of two SWSTERNERS from different parties.

I understand your Alex Ekwueme fear and that is why I would have preferred a stronger APGA to a synergistic ACN.. Where APGA can conquer SE completely, ACN conquers SW completely, ANPP conquers NE completely. While PDP keeps the rest.

when its time to produce a President, it rotates amongst parties who already have regional dominance as such becomes each region's bargaining chip.

With what Obi is doing to APGA, I doubt if that will still be possible. Obi is a bigger traitor than Ngige. If Obi had allowed Soludo or Akunyili to scale through APGA, Anambrarians need not bother about Ngige and his new found lovers.

Obi just left Anambrarians in a dilemma where Ngige is percieved as a lesser evil of all the evils in the fold.

peter obi is a disgrace.

REHOZIBAH:

Brotherly you obviously have believed the lies told by Ngige's opponents about his performance @ the senate

Being a senator or HOR member is a very difficult job and it involves more than sponsoring bills. Infact if you author or sponsor a bill,the process of getting it listed is akin to doing Cambridge GCE cos you need @ least 1/3 member to sign off on it for it to be read on the floor of the house

If you don't lobby very well, the bill might be thrown out. A bill must satisfy the yearnings of all part of the country and not yr ethnic group alone else it will not fly with other segment of the nation. After that if it passes the first reading, a correction might be forced on yr bill hence you lose the original intentions for it to scale the 2nd reading after which the public might even be asked to make input and all that before it now could go for 3rd and final reading which if successful becomes an act of senate then it requires presidential assent to become a law. In all of these, years may pass by. Infact we have seen several instances starting frm OBJ up till GEJ in which the president will refuse to assent a bill,deliberately allowing it to go stale which after a while the bill dies and then you will have to start de novo(afresh)

But there is nothing like executive powers wherein u have yr plan as to how many road u want 2 construct,skools u want to build,salaries 2 pay n all that...you have the federal allocation coming at every month whether you and the president are not in the same party or not....so you can do so much with executive power unlike as a legislature wherein you are only entitled to 1 or 2 constituency projects which you don't do yourself but if lobbied very well might be inserted in the appropriation act/budget but the president can decide not to fund it claiming there is no money or to spite you if you are not in his party

So we must understand the true picture of things before we condemn people

you think you are talking to a three year old abi? if senator Mike Ajegbo could sponsor bills, senator chukwumerije and senator Ita giwa could sponsor relevant bills during their time much less our own "ONWA"? even a nitwit like senator yerima could and you wish to cut Ngige a slack?


Do you know the kinda trust Ngige is holding in Anambra state?
during the senatorial election, all the hotels were fully booked, people flew in from Lagos, kaduna, kano, borno to vote this man and repeated it during the re run, you ve seen how he returned the favor.


you need to see Anambra state Govt house during his abduction, volunteers with matchete stationed there 247 when Obj withdrew his security. that man is loved in Anambra and he of all people should know that such feat comes with responsibility.

Anambra politics has grown beyond petty politics where Obi runs to ojukwu or CWO or Mother's guild to win Elections or Ngige that run to market women who shout his praises while he throws crumbs at them, rubbish! ! Anambrarians have evolved.


look at the Sw, they have grown beyond regional dominance, now they are forming regional alliance to be able to challenge PDP, why? Because they have elites driving their polity, how is peter obi not seeing what is going on in the south west and has the temerity to destroy APGA?

I don't think APC is the problem but the candidates, even if the president doesnt sign a bill to law, it will be on record what efforts Ngige made.

What about comittee functions? does he equally need a presidential endorsement?

I know APC is banking on Ngige's popularity, good strategy but know ye that popularity is fast dwindling, I dont see why ACN will have a perfoming fashola in lagos and send a sleeping senator to Anambra in the name of "progressives" who is fooling who?

jp philips:

we tried an Ngige APC in the Senate with no result, what makes you think that having him in the Govt house will make a difference?
well if you understand politics,democracy and the job of each tier of government then you wouldn't have make this kinda comment, meanwhile he can only do little as a senator,HOR or even as a minister,the best way he can impact lives in his state,is by becoming an executive governor,so if voted in and fail to perform then u can say whatever you like, I guess it time you all put sentiment aside about this apc/yoruba/hausa fulani stuffs, ngige is not a kinda man that anyone on earth can control and being a man that would want to remain in power for 8 years, I'm dead sure his first four years will be a blessing to the people of anambra,cuz among all the candidate aspiring for the post,he's the closest to the masses,he knows what your original problems are,just some thought,I'm not an ibo man,but a lover of good things and a big fan of ONE NIGERIA
