Orji to PPA candidate: Your party stinks

Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State has described the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) as a stinking party.
He said the governorship candidate of the party, Chief Chikwe Udensi, should first clean the mess in his “confused house and dead party” before making unfounded allegations against the state government.
Udensi had, in a recent media remark, said he joined the governorship race to clean up the mess in Abia State created by Orji.
But Orji described Udensi’s governorship ambition as “a wishful thinking and a huge political joke”.
Speaking on behalf of the governor, his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr. Charles Ajunwa, in a statement in Umuahia, the state capital, said Udensi lacked the competence and capacity to run an effective business outfit, let alone governing a state.
According to him, the PPA governorship candidate was bereft of programmes and ideas on how to run the state if given the opportunity, hence his serial media attacks on the person and office of the governor for cheap popularity.
“How can a political greenhorn like Udensi, who cannot even win a booth, be talking of cleaning the so-called mess in Abia when his party and house are emitting odious stench?
“Udensi has further exposed his ignorance about governance by talking of scrapping security votes when he is not yet governor. We have seen political noisemakers like Udensi, whose only trade in stock is to make bogus promises. You do not win election by disparaging the revered office of the Governor. If you show no respect to the authorities of the day, you will be dishonoured by others tomorrow”.
He advised Udensi to concentrate his campaign efforts on what he intends to do for Abians instead of dissipating energy to discredit the incumbent administration.
Ajunwa noted that the giant strides of the Orji administration are very obvious and laudable that the antics and rantings of the governor’s opponents can never deny or wish them away.
According to him, the infrastructural transformation across the state, the youth empowerment scheme, and the agricultural revolution are all sure testimonials of the positive impacts of the Orji administration.
He expressed confidence that “despite the campaigns of hate and calumny by Udensi and his likes”, Abians would massively vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February elections.
