The Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi, has described Senator Sonni Ogbuorji’s first and second terms at the National Assembly as a political bonanza even as he described the statement of his alleged plan to defect to the All Progressives Congress as that coming from “a frustrated loser.”
Governor made the statement in Abakaliki through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Emmanuel Uzor, while reacting to the alleged rumour attributed to his closest rival in the 2019 guber election.
Umahi described Senator Ogbuoji as a man whose integrity was in question, “a serial political blackmailer” and a traitor.
“Expectedly, a man rejected by both his family members and the generality of Ebonyi State like Senator Sonni Ogbuorji, the APC Governorship candidate in the last governorship election in Ebonyi State has begun his immodest naked dance in the market place.
“As usual, pains of defeat, especially in the magnitude Ogbuorji was trounced by the Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi, has started to manifest and so, the centre can no longer hold as regards Ogbuorji’s state of mind.
“Rather than accept the verdict of the entire people of the state as expressed in their ballots of last Saturday, Ogbuorji has taken his frustration far beyond the shores of the state.
“Senator Ogbuorji in his recent interview with journalists in Enugu rather than defend his lackluster performance in the last governorship election in the state accused the governor who defeated him mercilessly of plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“To say the least, Senator Ogbuorji’s statement smacks of a frustration because he was not only trounced by Umahi but was stripped off the little remaining man in him politically, thereby making him he represented what a typical mole in APC was.
“How come Senator Ogbuorji never resigned his membership of the PDP, a party on whose platform he was elected a senator twice even in his deficiency in both character and content in terms of intellectual content?
