I have never seen this type of thing before. Politicians in Abia State are running away from contesting the governorship election against Alex Otti in the state. Why are they running? Who is chasing them?
After months of hard man posturing, the deputy speaker has gone back to focus on running as a House of Representatives member. Another person in the party, Mascot Uzor Kalu, the brother of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has just withdrawn from the race as well.
Why are they afraid of contesting with the Painter of Abia? Or did they take the advice of the Imo State governor who told his party members not to use their last card or their children's school fees money for politics?
I said it before and I will keep saying it; Nigerians know what good leadership looks like and if you do well, your works will speak for you because people will see it.
The Abia State governorship election next year will go down in history as one where a winner will be known before 3 PM on the day of the election.
Abia people have seen the light and decided to say no to rice.
It is life that people are living in Abia State, I am happy for them.
