Abia Gov’t warns Onyejeocha:”You destroyed APC, keep us out of your mess”
Member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Nkiru Onyejeocha and her counterpart, Benjamin Kalu have been indicted in the crisis rocking the state chapter of her party by the Abia State Government.
Irked by the savoury comments made against its state officials where she referred to them as “beggars” the state Government in a statement credited to its commissioner for Information and Strategy, Barr Eze Chikamnayo warned the Lawmaker to avoid alluding its administration into the crisis involving some members of her party, the All Progressive’s Congress (APC).
In a statement on Wednesday issued by Chikamnayo, said, the likes of Onyejeocha, and Benjamin Kalu spear headed the lingering issues in the party , which has led to deep polarisation amongst its members.
Chikamnayo described Onyejeocha currently biding for her 20th year at the National Assembly through her fifth term as a deluded individual who should rather concentrate on securing her election rather than dragging the Peoples Democratic Party led Government of the state.
Chikamnayo said ever since Nkiru who represents Umunneochi/Isuikwuato Federal Constituency, joined the APC in 2019 the party had never known peace, noting that her power drunk attitude has crippled the party.
The statement reads;
Nkiru Onyejeocha has gone mad again !
Her madness is a bit disturbing to me personally because I had thought that the elevated office which she occupies in the Federal House of Representatives on behalf of the great people of Umunneochi/Isuikwuato Federal Constituency would have somewhat cured her trademark affliction of arrogance, tactlessness and brazen idiocy.
But like all psychopaths, Nkiru Onyejeocha who in the full view of a shocked world, turned her unsuspecting husband, Ikemba Kingsley Onyejeocha, into a fugitive and beggar in his own house, is now shamelessly referring to Commissioners in Abia State as beggars in an infantile attempt to instigate the innocent public and denigrate the Abia State Executive Council.
Her endless oscillation between lucid moments and absolute insanity is an unfortunate source of embarrassment not only to her Constituency but indeed to all men and women of goodwill.
Nkiru Onyejeocha while pointing her dirty, crimson fingers at Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu without cause or reason has thrown caution to the winds in a vain attempt to fraudulently amass cheap political attention at a time she should be bothering about the deep mess and chasm into which her devious activities has thrown the once manageable Abia APC. Today, with the likes of Nkiru Onyejeocha, Abia APC is permanently polarised and finished – locked in a fratricidal war of attrition, wits and wanton opportunism.
Ironically, while the whole Abia, except , perhaps, the deluded Nkiru Onyejeocha, is aware of her chequered antecedents and deplorable data, she keeps pretending to be holy, hypocritically pontificating on issues that directly indict her in all dimensions.
Several times, we offered helping hands to help cure her of this self-inflicted malaise but like the notorious biblical Jezebel, her over bloated feeling of self importance does not allow her to see reason.
Like a pig, Nkiru cannot stop wallowing in the mud of infamy. Despite repeated efforts to avoid this abominable bigot called Nkiru , she has refused to respect herself . Nkiru Onyejeocha prefers to overprice herself and dabble into avoidable conflicts that threaten the prevalent atmosphere of peace in the State. Sadly, with the upcoming elections, her moment of reckoning with the electorate has come.
One would have thought that she would have limited her foolhardiness and infantile manipulations to the Hammer House of Horror called APC in Abia State where her entrance has brought nothing but division and decay; but not Nkiru Onyejeocha! She will always overreach herself, prancing about like the proverbial Nwa Nza that challenges her gods to a wrestling contest.
Commissioners in Abia State will not reply to Nkiru Onyejeocha neither will Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu stoop low to her lowlife. Like Lucifer, let her continue wandering around and conspiring with other fallen political demons.
We can only pity her and ignore her rantings propelled by an excess dose of inferiority complex. Her restlessness is obviously borne out of her realisation that all her scheming and deceptive posturing have landed her in a perennial cul de sac.
On a personal note, I will advise Nkiru Onyejeocha to thread with caution and avoid investing in ant infested firewoods. If she continues in her usual braggadocio, the lizards will visit her neighborhood and all her thick putrefaction will be exposed to her own loss and chagrain.
A word is enough for the wise.

BREAKING: Key contact details missing in petition to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan – INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has acknowledged receiving a petition for the recall of the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District but noted that key contact details of the petitioners were missing.
In a press release signed by Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of INEC’s Information and Voter Education Committee, the commission stated that the petition was submitted with six bags of documents containing signatures from more than half of the 474,554 registered voters in the district.
However, the covering letter only provided a general location, “Okene, Kogi State,” without a specific address or multiple contact numbers as required by INEC’s regulations.
INEC emphasized that the recall process is guided by the 1999 Constitution, the Electoral Act 2022, and its 2024 Regulations and Guidelines for Recall.
The commission assured that once the petition meets all requirements, it will proceed with verifying the signatures using the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) in an open process involving petitioners, observers, and the media.
INEC is currently making efforts to reach the petitioners through other means and urged the public to disregard speculation on social media regarding the recall process.

Natasha’s case to be assigned to another Judge as Egwuatu recuse himself, citing Akpabio’s petition
Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja, has recused himself from Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s case citing a petition by lawyers to Senator Godswill Akpabio.
The case bothered on suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Udughan from the Senate for six months, but a dramatic twist to it Justice Egwuatu who is presiding over the matter on Tuesday recused himself and ordered that the cas file be sent to the Chief Justice for reassignment.
The trial judge based his decision on a petition the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, wrote to challenge his objectivity in the matter.
Though the suit was originally fixed for hearing, however, when the matter was called up by the court’s clerk, Justice Egwuatu announced his decision in a short ruling he delivered.
He said the case-file would be returned to the Chief Judge for a reassignment to another judge.
It will be recalled that Justice Egwuatu had on March 4, issued an interim order that stopped the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions from going ahead with the disciplinary proceeding that was initiated against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan over an allegation that she flouted rules of the legislative house.
He held that the disciplinary process should be placed on hold, pending the determination of the suit that was brought before him by the embattled female lawmaker.
More so, Justice Egwuatu gave defendants in the matter, 72 hours to show cause why it should not issue an order of interlocutory injunction to stop them from probing the plaintiff for alleged misconduct, without affording her the privileges stipulated in the 1999 Constitution, as amended, the Senate Standing Order 2023, and the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act.
He granted permission for the plaintiff to serve the Originating Summons and all the accompanying processes on all the defendants, through substituted means.
It held that they should be served by handing the processes to the Clerk of the National Assembly or by pasting them on the premises of the National Assembly and publishing same in two national dailies.
The interim orders followed an ex-parte application and an affidavit of urgency that was brought before the court by the lawmaker.
However, despite the orders of the court, the Senate Committee held its sitting and slammed the plaintiff with a six months suspension.
Following an application by the defendants, Justice Egwuatu subsequently amended the interim order he issued in favour of the plaintiff, by vacating the aspect that barred the Senate from undertaking any activity within the pendency of the suit.
The Senate President had through his team of lawyers led by Mr. Kehinde Ogunwumiju, SAN, queried the powers of the court to meddle in the affairs of the Senate.
