Abia House of Assembly: Where Will Primordial Sentiment Lead Us To?

Africa is our continent, without mincing words Africa is the most underdeveloped continent let us tell ourselves the truth. Africa’s problem is as a result of the chronic attachment with primordial sentiment. People have bent to do the abnormally just to make sure that their people are integrated without considering the individuals requirements.

Of course, all and sundry are aware of the latest happenings in the political scenario of every state of the federation as well our dear state must not be left out. The contentious issues of who becomes the next speaker is becoming a constant discussion.

Of a truth, the main issue remains “we needs our own to be their to protect our brother, Our brother is not safe with this person, we must resist any attempt to elect a particular candidate for the position of speaker, this is a deliberate attempt to drag the Ngwa Nation to the mud, to the extent that the supporters of the candidates who can be best described as ethnic bigot are cursing people’s choice with considering the true fact that the can’t change anything because they remains incapacitated to elect the new speaker.

Interestingly, going by this. It remains pertinent to note that none of the instigators of tribalism and campaign of calumny have ever said that Hon. Chinedum Orji is not qualified to contest on the ground of substantiated facts of non- performance which ordinarily is the yardstick to measure anyone that considered himself fit to become a speaker. Without meandering with fact and truth, Hon Chinedum Orji has in the last four years touched the lives of his Constituents and also far beyond positively which also his haters are much aware of. Here now with all Sense of sincerity and objectivity, can we compare Hon Chinedum Orji’s unassailable and unprecedented achievements in the last fours as a parliamentarian to that of those people instigating campaign of calumny against him. Even those mudslingers are aware that they lacks the wherewithal to impact meaningfully on the lives of their Constituents.

With this assertions, what every right thinking individual needs to ask is this “are we going to sacrifice competency on the alter of tribal or primordial sentiment? What are the scorecard of the other contestants? Let us bring the challenge of the account of candidates stewardship can they mudslingers hold their chest and say that they meaningfully impacted on the lives of their Constituents? If not of sycophancy and sentiment can someone that is rational support candidates that we know have performed abysmally? Is not all about Hon. Chinedum Orji but is all the dignity of doing the right thing and allowing Justice and equity to take it’s just course.
