APC and the electorates in Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency need some wisdom to make a good choice in there primary. Over the years, the constituency has been characterized by a usual situation of adamant representation. This also has hampered development and project sitting in the area. Both Isuikwuato and Umunneochi has also suffered backwardness in good roads, employment, and youth development over a decade. One may ask, are the people of the zone less concerned about their development or have they been swallowed by political Dalilas.
People had argued that Nkeiruka Onyejiocha who had represented the constituency for 12 years should have stepped down after such a long period of time. But in her quest to hold the ignorant electorates of Isuikwuato/Umunneochi to ransom, she defected to APC from PDP to vie with Chief Amobi Ogah who the people have chosen.
Now the issue is if APC fields Onyejiocha, instead of Amobi Ogah, the party stands to lose the 2019 election in the zone to PDP because the people of the Zone had discovered Onyejiochas desperado politics and wasteful 12 years. This calls for APC to be careful and understand who the electorates want.
It is no more a matter of personal interest but the interest of the entire people of Isuikwuato/Umunneochi who have been shortchanged for a pot of porridge. Politics apart, Nkeiruka Onyejiocha should not be fielded by APC. Amobi Ogah should be given a chance. The party should put peoples interest first before the normal Nigerian politics. Remember that if Onyejiocha is fielded by APC, the weight of Abia State Government and Governor will fall on Isuikwuato/Umunnechi to grab the zone because of Onyejiochas bad record with Okezie Ikpeazu that made her left PDP.
Wisdom is knocking at the doors of APC Isuikwuato/Umunneochi. Another 4 years with Onyejiocha will be a beautiful nonsense! A stitch in time they say saves nine.
