2023: Ikpeazu Plotting to Trade Old Aba Interest for Senate Seat - Don Ubani

The Deputy Chief of Staff to Abia State Deputy Governor, Mr Don Ubani, has alleged plot by the State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu to handover power to a non-Old Aba successor in exchange for a seat at the Senate in 2023.

Ubani accused the Governor of colluding with some highly-placed chieftains and leaders of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to jettison the 'Abia charter of equity' and marginalise the Old Aba division in exchange for the party's Senatorial ticket.

The former Commissioner for Information and Strategy made the allegations while playing host to a select political associates at his home, one of the associates who attended the meeting confided in our reporter. He(Ubani) accused the Governor of being politically selfish.

“What is the difference between Ikpeazu and a former Governor of this state who during his time jettisoned the written agreement to handover power to a successor from Old Aba division”, Mr. Ubani was quoted as saying. “I hate deceit.”

The Deputy Chief of Staff accused Governor Ikpeazu of being deceitful and playing to the whims and caprices of a 'powerful cabal' bent on dictating the political future of the state. “ of our party must caution Mr Governor against this journey, he must not marginalise, emasculate or ridicule the people of Old Aba Division for his own selfish political interest,” Ubani said.

“Nobody should hide under the istrative creation of Senatorial districts to downplay the reality of the two major blocs of Old Aba and Old Bende in the State. It's time for Old Aba to complete its 16 years in the spirit of equity, Ikpeazu must thwart his intentions. We won't stop him from running for Senate, but he must not trade the people of Old Aba to do that.

“If Governor Ikpeazu is interested in going to the Senate in 2023, we won't stop him. But he should , in words and deed, and quietly handover the reins of power to a successor of the Old Aba bloc for the sake of equality and political justice, it's not all about shouting equality and political justice in Nigeria, charity should begin at home.”

Mr. Ubani declared that the Ukwa la Ngwa people will not forgive Governor Ikpeazu should he perfect his 'marginalisation plot' and betray the Old Aba interest in the 2023 governorship race.

Interesting times ahead

Idiotic ikpeazu

These saboteurs are a disgrace.

And

It's has become obvious that in the entirety of the entity called Nigeria, elections have nothing to do with the electorate. Seriously undemocratic.

Ok

You are a big disgrace

We all know that all the game is for the next Gov not to go to Abia North.

I just laugh at Don Ubani.....Well-done...You go chop L last last.

Na so.

Next statement will be his denial.

Meanwhile work don comot for him hand as it stands.

Fingers crossed

Ndi ara

Abia state, where Nnamdi Kanu comes from.

You go receive your sack letter tomorrow morning 740am prompt

This news nor concern me. Whatever happens across the bridge stays across the bridge

N500 maternity governor plus kerosene will deal with him

Ogbasara unu

This ugly kerosene-sharing, gorilla-looking simpleton will always be in the news for the wrong reasons... Sigh!

Lol

F*ck both of them.

Handover power? So Dem no dey do election for Abia state?

Instead of crying, why not field a better opponent that can defeat the supposed successor?

What is APGA even doing in that state? They need to seize power from the clueless PDP who have done nothing but impoverish the people of Abia.

Abians need to wake up and tow the path of Anambra; elect a technocrat.

Why are they informing us? We have nothing to do with this news, I don't know why it reached front page

This people are really sick just to be polite. When Ikpeazu came up for Abia State governor seat, the same song was sang then and we said, well and good, and pleaded with him to build only Aba for us and we will him for life. But he went in there and continued in absolute failure his former established before leaving office. The little Aba had was during the period of the Old Bende.
Please let's forget about this nonsense issue of equity or whatsoever they are talking about and get somebody who will really take care of Abia State not withstanding which area he/she is coming from.

Why the next governor come from the same place as this governor.
He is also from aba.

Politicians and their wahala
