PETER OBI'S BROTHER, IJOMAH IN ABIA GUBER RACE


Wonders shall never end! Peter Obi and Kalu Ijomah Ukeh, National Rescue Movement (NRM) Governorship Candidate in Abia has been discovered to be brothers from different states.


Former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Obi who has become a movement in Nigeria and Africa because of his intellectual capacity and competence in GOVERNANCE has been accepted by all well meaning Nigerians and Africans to be the only one capable of rescuing Nigeria from being a failed state. Peter Obi a successful banker and economist got the attention of the whole world not just because of his achievements as former Anambra State Governor but also because the Southeast geopolitical zone should as a matter of justice, equity and fairness produce the next President of Nigeria in 2023. Similarly, KALU IJOMAH UKEH got the attention of Abians not only because of his achievements as a successful Industrialist and scientist who played a major in fighting the dreaded "EBOLA" in Africa or his brother, Peter Obi like intellectual capacity and competence but because of justice, equity and fairness. The rotation of power among the three senatorial districts in Abia state started from Abia North with Dr Orji Kalu in 1999, Abia Central, Chief T. A. Orji in 2007 and finally Abia South, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu from 2015 to 2023. Having gone round the three zones, it is returning to Abia North and OHAFIA in particular. Kalu Ijomah Ukeh is the only Candidate from Ohafia, Abia North.

Kalu Ijomah Ukeh, the National Rescue Movement (NRM) Governorship Candidate in Abia State has one hundred percent of intellectual capacity and competence found in Peter Obi. Kalu Ijomah Ukeh who has been nicknamed "ABIA MESSIAH" is an Abuja based successful Industrialist, who hails from Ohafia, Abia state.


Listening to or interacting with Kalu Ijomah is like doing same with Peter Obi. Kalu Ijomah Ukeh believes that all it takes to develop Abia State which has become the worst governed state in Nigeria under the leadership of Okezie Ikpeazu of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In his words, Kalu Ijomah said " we don't need federal allocation to develop Abia State. When I become the Governor of Abia state, we will develop the state from what we have. Abia is blessed with so many things, we don't need to look outside or wait for the federal government to give us money".

"Like every other state of the Nigerian Federation, Abia is bestowed with human and material resources, we have nations of the world that are thriving better than our entire country with resources far below Abia State.
We can choose to use Israel that just developed a productive agricultural system, a modern service sector, and a global standard pharmaceutical efficiency, but with very small deposits of mineral resources, today, Israel stands bold as one of the greatest economies, with nominal GDP of $500 billion, and a per capita of $50,00.

We have examples within the continent, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Equatorial Guinea have $30,000, $23,000, and $18,000 per capita respectively. These are all the manifestations of acceptance of leadership to drive their nations to prosperity. But before we commence this journey, we must first re-enforce our commitment to nation building, we must elect leadership with vision and focus, leaders who are persuaded by the mammoth challenges of poverty, accountability, low productivity, and corruption".

"Putting Abia State in the World Map of productivity requires some very deliberate intellectual actions, driven by a strong political will, the one that is devoid of sentiments and selfserving. We need a synergy of leaders of thoughts to initiate this seismic shift, leaders who must be prepared for selfless commitments to agree on the way forward for productivity, making them understand the vision of a new administration that is geared towards the elevation of our society to a new world that works. We would build a committed and focused orientation network to dispense information based on paradigm shift in governance. Leadership in Abia state has to become a business that must return profit to the state and its people. The idea of 'IGWEBIKE' must be imbibed with patriotism, commitment, perseverance, sacrifices, that would guarantee the making of a prosperous, progressive, and sustainable state. An improvement on the efforts of our past heroes like Dr. Michael Okpara and others.

Our network shall strengthen the Local Government System. The Local system would be the bedrock of our development, because our prime focus will be local production, adding value and giving full support to rural areas. We shall develop and digitalize our food production system. We shall encourage science and technology. We have our Youths who have invented automobiles, some have used airplanes as their school projects, we have wonderful discoveries made by Abians, we shall bring them on board. We shall provide funds for Abia youths especially those who are into inventions. When I talk of invention, I mean new ideas in all sectors. In the 80s, our people were Producing KEKE NAPEP in Abia much more better than what is being imported in Nigeria today. We have people who produce electronics and a lot of things in Aba, we shall give them full encouragement".


KALU IJOMAH UKEH of NRM believes that Igbo land and Abia state in particular can be self sustained, pay salaries and develop without federal allocation being shared monthtly. He believes that insecurity would be a thing of the past if youths are gainfully employed.

He shares the same vision with Peter Obi and is believed to be the rescuer of Abia state.
