Grave Silence In Isuikwuato, As Ogah Looses Out In Scam Abia PDP Primaries

The PDP primaries that was held in Abia State today, have been described as a farce, owing to the emergence of non favorites, as party flagbearers.

The electoral show of shame that was withnessed across the State, have no doubt put the party’s fortune at the general election, in great jeopardy.

Never in the history of electoral contest in the State, have such absurdity been withnessed before.

Credible intelligence gathering from sources at the Isuikwuato Local Government Council Mbalano, venue of the Federal House Of Representatives election, rightly revealed, that Journalists were muscled out of the process, by being barred from covering the exercise by Security agents, who were acting based on order from above .
Some journalists who tried gaining access into the venue of the primaries in , were either arrested by Security agents, who told them only statutory delegates were allowed into the premises.

The Federal House of Representatives seat for Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency, saw Hon Bar Loveth Ofoegbu, announced winner of the election, against the people’s choice, Chief Godwin Amobi Ogah.

It would be important to note at this point, that prior to this election, Chief Ogah was seen as the people’s choice.
This was going by the fact that the Onuaku Uturu born philanthropist, enjoy the good will of the people of the constituency, who believed he is the right candidate, that a task of this magnitude requires.
But alas, the people’s hope was dashed, with the constituency in shock, since the announcement of the result.

It was reliably garnered, that the choice of Barr Loveth Ofoegbu did not go down well with the people of the constituency, who described the election as a charade.

Delegates to the election declined speaking to newsmen, feeling disgusted with the entire exercise.

However, one of the Delegates who spoke on condition of anonymity, blamed the State government for the shabby primaries that was witnessed in the area today.
According to him, it will require a miracle for the PDP to win the general elections in the area next year.

It was also gathered from another source, that the State Governor instructed the Delegates on the pattern of voting at the polls, withouth putting into consideration, the peoples interest.
A directive the Delegates carried out against their wishes.

Worthy of note is the fact that the so called PDP primaries that was held today in Isuikwuato, didn’t last for more than thirty minutes.

It was also reliably gathered, that the State Governor had directed a PDP Chieftain in the State Chief Acho Nwakamma, and another Chieftain of the PDP in Umunneochi Local Government Area, to do the hatchet job of returning Barr Loveth Ofoegbu as the Party flagbearer in the Constituency, against the people’s choice, Chief Amobi Ogah.

It was not surprising that after the election, Barr Ofoegbu was never exited to say the least.
She had walked into a waiting vehicle unassuming, akin to someone who got what she never deserved to say the least

There were other contestants to the State House of Assembly, who expressed disgust, over the cinduct of the polls.

If feelers from members of PD P at the grassroots is anything to go by, today’s exercise may well spell doom for the party, thus signalling its political funeral in Abia State.

“How can the Governor decide who flies the party’s flag in our area” a worried member of the party had lamented ceaselessly.
“We know these people and their capabilities, as such we know those capable of representing our welfare as a people.

 Isuikwuato Local Government Council withnessed a total silence, one likened to such observed in the grave yard, when news filtered in that Chief Ogah had lost, as people moved out quietly from the Council premises to their various homes, in total disappointment.

As it stands with this development, there may likely be a mass exodus of members of the PDP to other political parties, owing to the death of internal democracy in the party.

At the time of filling this report, Chief Ogah could not be reached.
However, he promised getting back to Newsmen.
