The Speaker Abia State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Orji, has reiterated that he won’t respond to political jobbers in the state who wants to pitch him against the governor and his colleagues over his visit to the former Abia Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.
It should be recalled that, one Chief Don Ubani, a chieftain of the PDP attacked the speaker for the visit adding that the speaker should resign his position.
Ubani also, opined that the speaker’s visit to Kalu means nothing but wishing the governor dead.
Reacting, Hon. Orji through a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Jude Ndukwe said the speaker will not respond to the tantrum of “political jobbers”.
“Following the needless uproar generated by self seeking and self appointed political lackeys in Abia State over the recent visit of the Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the Rt Hon Speaker does not and will not, in his usual calm mien, respond to the rantings of political jobbers known to be working for their bosses with vaulting ambitions”, the statement reads.
According to the statement, “He (Orji) will not be part of any ploy to irritate him into joining issues with such lackeys to heat up our otherwise peaceful polity as they were nowhere to be found when the fight for Dr Okezie Ikpeazu to be Governor was spearheaded.
“Since they are not wise enough to sincerely engage Mr Speaker with a view to finding out what actually transpired at the visit but have chosen to become needlessly belligerent, Mr Speaker does not owe anyone of them any explanation whatsoever, except to the Executive Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, and his Colleagues in the House. He will therefore keep ignoring the rants of these political jobbers.
