How do you explain to me that in Ebonyi state nobody is discussing and causing confusion in the name of godfather and state control . Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is resting , Sam Egwu is at rest , Martin Elechi is tired and Engr David Umahi confidently is turning things around in a state much rated the worst in Nigeria many years ago .

Engr David Umahi has changed the narrative. And more still coming in the future , that is what we call responsible leadership. An attempt to rewrite history . Worthy of note is that Dave Umahi is in PDP just like Our own Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu and certainly I think it should be the same ideology that is guiding them except they wasn't any ideology from the onset .

How do I explain to you my friend that In Enugu State Chimaroke Nnamani is at rest , Sulevian Chima is a story and forgotten , while Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi very soon will hand over and fade with time because to me there is definitely nothing serious about his administration. At least the current Governor will not claim being under the influence and control by anyone .

It will interest you to know that right now the likes of Chris Uba, Andi Uba and the Chris Ngige's are peacefully waiting for next election if there is anything they will do but nobody is agitating to be a godfather anymore. Peter Obi is a story for another day and what reason will you give me why Dr. Willie Obiano will fail in Anambra and people will not call for his head because the landlords in Anambra state who made things difficult for Chris Ngige are sleeping .

In Imo state , the Achike Udenwa's and cronies are not claiming to be godfather's ,Ikedi Ohakim cannot claim anything and Rochas Okorocha tried it but failed which brought in Emeka Ihedioha who has handed over peacefully to Hope Uzodinma and I pray he utilize the little opportunity before him very well otherwise what happened to others will still meet him.

Abia State is simply the only state in South East where a person , an individual or group of person will pocket the resources meant for everyone and nobody is saying anything tangible about resisting them . In actual reflection , is it not obvious that the self acclaim God's own state is actually gods owned state .

A state where we have gods and goddess of the land that are in charge and determine what happens , and just like a typical native land : a shrine is available , then we have the " Eze mmoo" whose words is final and authority ruling both educated and the non educated .

Logically, sacrifices are made to the gods of the land otherwise the center cannot hold and then the obvious charade of gross darkness and backwardness relative in such environment : Abia State is a typical reflection , where else will you see the worst maladministration ever witness since 1999 except in a gods owned state .

I am talking about infrastructural decay from the head to the toe , virtually everything is in a mess , yet every administration comes with hopes and Promises which are never fulfilled , is it the gross exaltation of incompetent men and women to Position of trust or the inability to pay government Workers and pensioners amidst rising debt profile .

A lot is wrong with and in Abia State, but my greatest issue is that our political office holders are never provoke seeing the way Abia State is , they don't get upset hearing those outside the state insult and call Abia different names. Our infrastructural decay is not an issue , inability to pay staff salaries and entitlement of pensioners is not issue , lack of jobs and poor human capital development is never discussed by them.

Who "godfatherism" help .that It failed in Imo state , Enugu State, Ebonyi state, and Anambra state only to be a successful empire in Abia State means something is definitely wrong with Abia State. We claim to be God's own state but we are being subjected to maladministration never witnessed in state owned by the devil if there is any state like that at all.

"Godfatherism" or state control whichever one failed in River State, failed in Bayelsa, Edo state and cross River State only to become a subject matter worthy of causing confusion in a state that is God's own. How did we get to this level ? Please it is time to replicate what happened in Anambra, Imo , Ebonyi, Enugu , Rivers , Kwara etc in God's own state and the time is now .
