Chief Dr. David Ogba Onuoha Bourdex, widely known as "UgoÔÇ»EnaÔÇØ Nde Abiriba, has issued a scathing political rebuke-responding to recent narratives that celebrate Senator Orji Uzor Kalu's supposed largesse in Ohafia.
In a powerful statement titled "When the Market No Longer Buys Lies,ÔÇØ Bourdex lambasted what he described as "hollow gifts and half-truths wrapped in headlines.ÔÇØ His message targeted claims that credit Kalu with projects like new roads and schools, asking pointedly, "Where were these gifts when darkness swallowed our homes?ÔÇØ and "Where was compassion during erosion that buried entire gardens?ÔÇØ
Labeling such politically motivated project announcements as "a dying masquerade banging the drum loudest," Bourdex painted a vivid image of political theater over substance. He warned that Abia North is "yawning,ÔÇØ no longer willing to clap for charlatans and preferring, instead, "light-not slogans,ÔÇØ and real leadership-not empty theatrics.
Bourdex's metaphor of a marketplace trading in truths rather than tomatoes was clear: Abia North's constituents have awakened to deceptive politics and want accountability. "The torch is not for sale... When a people awaken, even the most seasoned deceiver trembles,ÔÇØ he stated.

His critiques have reignited the debate over the 2027 Senate seat, particularly whether Ohafia deserves its turn to produce the next senator and whether Kalu's era of political supremacy should end.

Suddenly, new roads and schools are raining from their tongues. But where were these gifts when darkness swallowed our homes?
Where was their compassion in five long years of blackout?Where were they when erosion carved graves where gardens once bloomed?
They forget - we are not fools.
We know that a dying masquerade beats its drum the loudest.
