Of late, the political landscape of Abia state as a federating unit of Nigerian Nation, has witnessed serious inquisitiveness in the quest of so many followers of the political Leaders also known as their Principals to impress them or create attention for themselves.
Those followers rant and rain insults on whoever they perceive to be rivals to their bosses .
This is a wanton deviation from the Modus operandi of the ideal democratic system and therefore becomes a cause for concern.
The recent insults and politics of calumny play by some misfits over who the cap fits for the representation of Obingwa/Ugwunagbo/Osisioma Federal Constituency in 2027 ,is laughable and shows the level of emptiness of some followers of the political bigwigs.
Let me be very particular about the attack on the illustrious son of Old Obioma Ngwa in the person of Rt Hon Bishop Kennedy Njoku.
It is essential to furnish those who wallow in ignorance with the profile of erstwhile Speaker Abia State House of Assembly.
He is a consummate father, husband , ordained Bishop of an International Christian organization (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saint) among other sterling qualities and qualifications of his.
It is therefore ,absolutely ridiculous and self destructive for any one to champions insults and rants on Rt Hon Bishop Kennedy Njoku’s status , as former Abia House of Assembly Speakership and his Bishophood. This is because,these are hard earned feats over the years from the voyage of political and religious journeys. He was duly elected by Abia State House of Assembly parliamentarians , and as well as ordained by the Church of Jesus of Latter day Saint.
Rt Hon Bishop Kennedy,has created a niche in the world of business, as the Chief Executive Officer of two Firms BLUEFIELD SYSTEM SERVICE and URIMS OILS NIGERIAN LIMITED .These firms are magnets in oil and Gas, and Information and communication Technology (ICT) etc.
This places him on the path of financial independence.
Politically,he has an unparalleled profile among all the contenders of one of the largest constituencies in Nigeria.
He is a two term good ambassador of Osisioma Ngwa North state constituency in Abia state House of Assembly. An era of representation that witnessed unprecedented empowerment of the constituents of all classes.
While Rt Hon Bishop Kennedy held sway as mouthpiece of the hardworking and honest people of Osisioma Ngwa North state constituency , he headed a very sensitive committee on appropriation and maintained an unbeatable track record on probity.
He was a speaker of the Abia state house of Assembly duly elected by the parliamentarians. Even though the lifespan of his speakership was not long , it is vitally important to intimate those who are ignorant ,that he resigned honourably. This action of his was in good faith and basically a sacrifice he made at that material time for the good of people of Abia State.
Let no one speak unless fully armed with the necessary facts or else such an opinion will amount to reckless talk which will be exposure to such person(s ) uninformed and shallow mindedness .
The choice of the APC flag bearer for Obingwa/Ugwunagbo/Osisioma Federal Constituency come 2027 , ought to be painstakingly done by the party Leaders and the faithful in general,in consideration of requisite qualifications of knowledge of legislative business above sentiment.
Among the aspirants,the choice of one who is with such deep knowledge of legislation ,will earn our constituency an automatic Juicy committee if elected.
Our best is actually required at this juncture to attract reasonable dividends of democracy to rescue the constituents from the adverse effects of poor representation and restore the lost glory of the representative concerns of over 10 years .
Rt Hon Bishop Kennedy Njoku, undoubtedly possesses the most desired intellectual and administrative qualifications. He has an added advantage of being at home with the grassroot, a veteran legislator and budget appropriation pundit.
He is down to earth and a pragmatic Leader.
The circumstances that displaced PDP in 2023 general elections captured the proverbial ill wind that blows no one any good and was never associated with the person of Rt Hon Bishop Kennedy Njoku as insinuated by some mischief makers in the recent post.
Any attempt by some one to entangle Bishop Kennedy with the 2023 ill-fated PDP contest , is either in ignorance of what transpired or does that out of rancour and hatred of the person of Bishop Kennedy.
Congratulations Nde Obingwa/ Ugwunagbo/Osisioma for your yearning for good representative is a dream come true with nomination and supporting of Rt Hon Bishop Kennedy Njoku by All Progressives Congress come 2027
