*The Rant By The Rambler*

We have read the traditional rant by the rambler who has shown lack of the capacity to be truthful in private and public.

This time, as always, he lived to his calling as one who is in constant fevered state. What can be funny, more mentally deranging than a man who has taken the entitlements mentality to the most absurdity level.

The question remains, must this man run for every position? Must he represent himself to be used and con people, plant and harvest lies as means of personal survival?

What on this earth would make a man who wants to be taken seriously, trusted and given position of authority take flight from reason, going so lowly to churn out lies against someone everyone knows for his truth, humility, humanness and community services?

The ex this and that, apart from his oily voice which he has constantly used to fool people over time is not known for any other thing altruistic. What would make a man become so deliberate in search for public office that he is ready, willing and able to destroy?

Take for instance, the recent post personally circulated by Chief Jerry Chukwueke where he assumed the combined roles of the interrogator and interrogated, where he maliciously faked an opinion poll, castigating other worthy sons of Owerri Zone while giving himself an unmerited pass mark. In that conjured and fevered post, he took time to talk down on Barr Uche Onyeagocha, Sen Ezenwa Onyewuchi and his personal nemesis, Prince Alex Mbata, whom he for obvious reasons, heaped series of cheap allegations on.

In the interest of decency, Prince Alex Mbata will not come down to the desperate level of Chief Jerry Chukwueke. He will not allow himself to be reduced to the motor park engagements which Chief Chukwueke is known for. He will not lie, abuse or destroy other sons of Owerri Zone for any reason. Prince Alex Mbata is well groomed, respectful, honourable, and has great integrity contents.

No doubt, Chief Jerry Chukwueke's fear is Prince Alex Mbata who he considers as the main opponent to his vaulting ambition to sneak into the Senate. Instead of him, to present his personal score card to the people, he is busy lying and building personality cults and dropping names daily on social media.

His resort to blackmail Prince Alex Mbata using every means is most unfortunate and runs contrary to the rules of decent engagements. For the records, Prince Alex Mbata is a young man God has blessed in every material, social and spiritual sense. He has constantly devoted this blessings to the services of God and humanity. He is not boastful, arrogant or cunning. Mbata is a community man, who loves his people, cares for them and his people in turn, love and care for him.

Mbata is not a social media created personality, he is real. His achievements speak for him. Few mention will suffice here.

1. Built a factory in Owerri in 2004 which provided gainful employment to sons and daughters of Imo State.

3. Have Gas stations and Estates all over the state established by 2004.

3. Donated N20 million to Imo State to assist in the fight against Covid 19 pandemic in 2020.

4. Single handedly built 4.8km road in Owerri North worth N200m

5. Single handedly built 2km road with street lights in Owerri Municipal.

6. Through PAM Foundation, embarked on free education program in Owerri.

7. Built and assisted Churches.

8. Doled out over N500 million worth of equipment to over 3000 indigenes of Owerri Zone drawn from the 104 Wards under the PAM Foundation Program and more.

These are evidences of Mbata's capacity and ability to do more for the good people of Owerri Zone. It is on record that Prince Alex Mbata has *NEVER ASKED, RECEIVED OR EXECUTED ANY STATE OR FEDERAL CONTRACT* As the cliche goes, *talk is cheap but facts are sacred* Prince Alex Mbata has prior to Rochas's goverment in 2011, been established as a billionaire through hardwork and God's blessings. No one can take away this fact, politics or no politics.

Finally, while Prince Alex Mbata has committed himself to a decent conduct devoid of bitterness, abuse, allegations and accusations, he will be ready, willing and able to confront these liars with the verifiable facts/documents of their malfeasance.

Those who go to equity, it is said, must go with clean hands.
