The
Independent National Electoral Commission's decision to declare the Abia State
gubernatorial elections inconclusive comes as temporary respite to many
aggrieved Abians. These are people who are well aware that their choice was
being taken away from them, and thus were amazed at the report that the PDP's
Okezie Ikpeazu was leading APGA's Alex Otti in the elections.
*Gov Orji
Abians,
as is evident from the comments made and actions being taken by them are tired
of the ignominious hegemony Governor Theodore Orji and his family were
inflicting on Abians. Here is a family, whose son allegedly prances around the
state as the “Executive Governor,” intimidating people. This was a man whom
Abians elected believing that as one of their own (he was actually projected as
almost as indigent as the people), he would bring them a breath of fresh air.
But contrary to all the high hopes he gave Abians, T.A Orji saw the state as a
personal investment and went ahead to allegedly shamelessly and openly enrich
himself to the detriment of the state.
