Abia State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has warned that no amount of rented miscreants can stop it from opposing the nomination of Mr. Nwogu Nwogu as the state’s Commissioner in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The party in reaction to the purported solidarity protest reportedly staged by some youths in support of Nwogu described the protest as laughable stressing that hiring miscreants to protest cannot erase incompetency mediocrity.
The APC in a statement made available to ABACITYBLOG by Comrade Benedict Godson,
its Publicity Secretary described the protesters as rented miscreants who have no stake both in Abia and oil rich Ukwa land and therefore should be disregarded.
The party warned them to stop wasting their time as the it will not allow mediocres and outsiders who know nothing about both the party, Abia state and Ukwa land to sabotage the developmental efforts of the APC led Federal Government.
APC frowned that the money that should have been channeled in developing the area have been misused to sponsoring miscreants who are not even from the state not to talk of Ukwa to make mockery of the sufferings of the original owners of the land.
The party challenged the protesters whom it termed rented and naive to the plight of the state to publicly tell the impoverished oil rich Ukwa land and the entire Abia State one thing that their NDDC Commissioner achieved in his previous tenure.
“We’ve grown above the stage where people rent miscreants to influence the reality. If Nwogu Nwogu is truly a member of APC and a well meaning Abia man, what he should do is to consult the party leadership led by Honourable Donatus Nwamkpa to know why he was vehemently rejected.
“Renting miscreants who don’t know how Abia State or how Ukwa people feel with money he should have put into good use to stage a drama at Obehie in the name of protest is a joke taken too far.
“I read the story about the purported protest and I was looking for where they’ll at least list his achievements in the past journey he went as our Commissioner in NDDC.
“They should have at least made a sound case for him, but I saw nothing aside that he was contributed immensely towards the advancement of the youths and development of ASA land and the question is how?
“It was under Nwogu Nwogu that ordinary NDDC Water hyacinth project was not given to Abia because the man doesn’t know anything about the position he was placed in.
“Is it by renting miscreants to make him look relevant? Honestly this is ridiculous. The truth is this; those miscreants will go back to their base, eat the small money they gave them and Ukwa and Abia state in general will continue to suffer from terrible representation by a man who doesn’t know his left and right.
“The APC will never tolerate mediocrity. We can never allow Abia to continue to be like this while we have oil. If they like, let them rent all the hopeless miscreants from all corners of the world.
“It will not change the fact that we’ve suffered so much from terrible representation in the NDDC and are determined to make a change and take Abia to the next level.
“And we must end such because it is hampering our progress. It is also a pity that some persons who should speak out no matter their party affiliations are keeping quiet.
“They are watching those who have no stake neither in Abia nor in Ukwa claim to be speaking for the people when they know fully well that those are miscreants.
“If our youths have been empowered as those miscreants claimed, why didn’t they state what jobs they do and how much they are being paid during their purported solidarity protest?
“Why didn’t they tell us what they are currently doing courtesy of the man that empowered them as they claimed?
“Collecting peanuts to support evil in a place they have no stake is a joke taken too far. We as a party reiterate that Mr. Nwogu Nwogu is not known to us and failed in his previous tenure and should go and rest.
“What some of them don’t know is that Federal Government is already aware that some persons don’t want our people to see anything good about the APC led administration in the centre and they want to achieve this by sending mediocres to represent the people under our great party.
“We started fighting against this towards the ending of the first tenure of President Mohammadu Buhari and in this second tenure we’ve succeeded in fighting correcting that and we shall continue to do so. No matter the level of blackmail.”
