Kalu, Orji & non-performance
By Odimegwu

"For the mind
that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's
law; indeed, it cannot," Romans 8:7.
The concurrent outbursts of the opposition political parties
in Abia State that Governor Theodore Orji is just a titular and is not
performing have really justified that the amiable ex-Governor of the state, Dr.
Orji Uzor Kalu, is heavenly. Due to the unfolding events in the state today,
many people are however saying that Kalu should forgive them to have said
things against him. But their regret is that he did not think-out well to had
stood behind Orji as his successor owing to the dimwittedness they are seeing
in Orji and his governance.
Imagine! Instead of working hard to liberate the state from
the mess it is in, speculations surround Orji that he is banking money to
mobilize the people of the state for the mirage called 2015 elections. Indeed,
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can
understand it?" Jeremiah 17:9.
Disappointing, unlike politicians in other states who lost their
election petitions in the court, those that the court said are the rightful
winners, didn’t cast vituperations on the opposition. But this is not the case
in Abia State. “Keep quiet and lick the wounds of your defeat,” is the
statement Orji have ever used on the opposition, instead of emancipating them
into the government to bring in their own ‘fresh’ ideas for the growth and
wellbeing of the state. He has ever represented, "Even my close friend in
whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me." (Psalm
41:9).
This shows that he has a divisive tendencies and that he
sees and considers him a good politician, but others are hogwash. It is a pity!
Such derogatory microscope of the governor is not good and will make him not to
see his glaring deficiencies which the people are shouting at. His incessant
call to the people of Abia State to be patient will last to what date. The
people have already seen that he lacks the dexterity and wisdom to liberate and
rescue them from the environmental and poverty stricken dungeon he has left
them in to be gnashing their teeth laced with wailing and sorrow. Does he know
that the people have entirely lost hope in him? This is why a staunch
opposition politician in the state had said that Orji’s malevolence can only
sway for a period and must fade away one day.
Ready to see Orji’s non-performance, any well meaning Abian
should thank the people in Aba in the manner they put across their minds on him
at the stadium during Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu’s burial observance in
the state. They pelted him, for his trade in negligence of democratic laws
where dividends to the people was supposed to be a right and not a pity. Orji
saw the later as his brand of governance and have left the people to garland in
pains due to obsession and love for dividing people. Orji has refused to “…take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God.” (Ephesians 6:17).
He is exhibiting all the garbage perhaps because of the
party he belongs to with the view that he is always covered. But this is not
the way of democracy, and the party must look into this non-performing governor
in it and treat him accordingly with a whip of humanface. Such people give
party bad name.
For example: “They are giving the Governor the impression
that the people are insatiable, what and what has he put on the ground that the
people should go hysterical with joy? Why did Aba not boo Mbakwe during his
time, why did they not boo Orji Uzor Kalu whom he said was holding him in
bondage? All these go to show that he was responsible for what ever feat Orji
Uzor Kalu did not perform in Abia during his tenure because he was the Chief of
staff. Why are Imolites not booing Okorocha for doing well? But if in 20 years
time, Orji Uzor Kalu steps his feet in Aba soil, they will remove their cap for
him. Why? Because he left a foot print in the sands of time in the area of road
construction. The remaining roads that are used by Aba people today were done
by his administration,” said a strong voice in the state.
Sadly, Orji is going down gradually because his people have
said that he has failed them which has resulted to him using rented crowd
anywhere he went and the agberos were
paid N5,000 per trip to cheer him. It goes a long way to show that people like
Orji die many time before their real death because they chose not the Spirit
of God to speak by them, but his word is
always on their tongue.
