A political storm is brewing in Umuahia Central State Constituency as a group of vocal constituents under the banner of Umuahia Central Concerned Assembly (UCCA) has issued a damning statement accusing their representative, Hon. Anthony Abiola Chinasa, of failing the people, promoting self-interest, and running a premature re-election campaign without delivering any tangible dividends of democracy.

In a powerful statement signed by Elder Clement Kalu Iroh (Chairman), Chief Onwuchekwa Hyacinth C. (Publicity Secretary), and Lady Mercy Nkemakolam (Secretary), the group expressed dismay over what they described as Hon. Chinasa's underwhelming and questionable tenure, marked by "unpaid church donations, unverifiable claims of personal sacrifice, and lack of meaningful community engagement."
"We are compelled by conscience and duty to speak out. Hon. Chinasa's tenure so far reflects more of image-building than people-building," the group said in their statement.

"How can a lawmaker who has failed to perform in two years be thinking of re-election? Is this the time for campaigns or for service?" they queried.
They pointed to past representatives of Umuahia Central who, according to them, left legacies of development, community engagement, and pride - contrasting them sharply with the current lawmaker's absence of legacy projects.
