" He knows he is holding a stolen mandate, hence his desperation to castigate and disparage the person of a vocal and respected Senator using his foot soldiers and political bootleakers ready for any hatchet job just for a pot of porridge.

" No amount of campaign of calumny by Orji Uzor Kalu against Ohuabunwa will make him (Kalu) escape humiliation at the supplementary poll. He knows he won't escape disgrace and the wrath the people whose mandate he stole on a broad day light.

" If he likes let him use fictitious Aro names that have the same consonance sound with Mao's surname, he cannot fool the people again because Abia North has long known his antics. Deceipt and propaganda have remained his trade mark but his days at the Senate are numbered.

"Kalu should hide his face in shame. A man who impoverished Abia and suddenly became stupendously wealthy lacks the moral impetus to parade as a statesman, let alone going to the hallowed red chamber "
