ENUGU NORTH SENATORIAL SEAT: WHY THE QUALITY OF OPPOSITION CANDIDATES SHOULD WORRY IGBO NSUKKA

(ENUGU NORTH FUTURE LEADERS FORUM)

When his Excellency, Rt Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the executive governor of Enugu State emerged as the PDP candidate for the Enugu North senatorial seat to succeed Senator Chukwuka Utazi, it was thought that other opposition parties, citing the caliber of the state ruling patry's candidate, will bring forward the best in their respective ranks so as to stand a chance against the incumbent governor of the state who will be flying the PDP flag in the election.

When Enugu State chapter of Labour brought forward the name of Barrister Okey Ezea(though his candidature is being challenged in the court) as the party's candidate to slug it out at the polls for the zone's senatorial seat, everyone dismissed it to be one among the numerous social media jokes, not untill the party later confirmed the authenticity of the publication. Barrister Okey Ezea, popularly known and addressed as Ideke came into political limelight when he emerged as the All Progressive Party candidate during the 2015 governorship election in Enugu State.

Not only that he was pummeled at the polls, he was also unable to secure federal appointment from the Buhari-led administration afterwards. Note that it has been a tradition for candidates who made concerted effort, invested hugely both in cash and otherwise at elections but fails at the polls to be compensated by the party. But such was not the case with Ideke, one of the candidate's to slug it out with His Excellency, Rt Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for the Enugu North senatorial seat, as he was not only considered unfit for federal appointment, he was also sandwiched and relegated from the scheme of things and affairs of Enugu State chapter of APC. Unable swallow the shame of being perpetually kept under the party's armpit, Ideke jumped ship to seek redemption at Labour Party where he met a conglomerate of decampees.

The APC is also not left out, as they brought forward, the name of Ambassador Ejike Eze as their candidate to challenge the incumbent governor. Although Ambassador Ejike has been tireless, on social media, particularly on WhatsApp platform where endless groups are being created to be used as a medium to commiserate with bereaved party members, not much has been heard nor known of him.
But least is expected of the Enugu State chapter of APC. This is a party whose members in the state can be said to be wandering in political orphanage as a result of protracted leadership tussle.
It is on record that while leaderships of the party engaged in fisticuffs, the landlord of their state party office came and evicted them, throwing their belongings out over what was later revealed as their inability to offset a backlog of rent arrears.

Not that the opposition parties have the wherewithal to stop governor Ugwuanyi's senatorial bid but the caliber of candidates being brandished should be a source of concern to our people. Ideke who has been in political coma, the unknown traveler from APC and other hibernating candidates of other parties; are these the best the opposition parties can afford, or can it be described as a downward political development in Enugu North zone?

I hereby congratulate his Excellency for his forthcoming triumph at the polls. The antelope with a swollen scrotal sac is a very big advantage to the hunter.
Ideke whose political comatose took place several years ago needs, first, resuscitation as a patient is not revived at the boxing ring.
The hanky-panky activities that characterized the Labour Party primary election across the state led to the present crop of misfits emerging as candidates thus giving room for a lingering court cases as being witnessed across the state, a development that already portends doom for the party. The water coming out of a rusty tap has automatically lost it's purity.
It is always worthwhile when political parties field their best candidates in an election so they don't make mincemeat of themselves at the polls.

Fake DG, you and Ugwuanyi will fail.

Ideke will beat Ugwuanyi in Orba

Ideke will beat the fat out of Gburugburu's protruding belly.
All these unemployable political jobbers who eke a living by licking Ugwuanyi's behind should give it a rest. A boring glutton won't represent the people of Enugu North.
Vote Peter Obi for President
Vote Edeoga for governor.
Vote Barr. Okey Ezea for senate Enugu North.
