OPEN
LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF EBONYI STATE HIS EXCELLENCY DAVE UMAHI ON THE
IMAGE OF THE STATE BEING SMEARED BY THE EXCESSES OF HON.MARIA UDE
NWACHI.
31/01/2018
Your Excellency Sir,
With
due respect to your noble office as the Father of our dear state, I
write you to register my appreciation for your numerous strides in
putting our dear state on the pedestal of greatness in the Country. Your
achievements have once again proven that we are indeed the salt of the
nation.
Sir, permit me the use of this letter
to register my pains as a dear citizen of Ebonyi State whose pride has
been dragged to the mud by the recent actions of Hon. Maria Ude Nwachi,
The honorable member representing Afikpo North Constituency at the State
Assembly. It is worthy of note that as a native of Oso Edda in Afikpo
South LGA of Ebonyi State, I've always prided myself with the honor of
our revered cultural and moral values. But this recent actions have put
huge question marks on our value system, and needs to be attended to
urgently.
Few days ago, social media was awash
with news of an online raffle draw, that was organized by the now
suspended Ebonyi State Lawmaker, Hon. Maria Ude, popularly known as
'Afikpo Chic'. Allegations of a planned scam and intended fraud under
the cover of the Online raffle draw, have left the popular Facebook
group 'Igboist' in rancour and the public image of Ebonyians in the
mud.
It is becoming a mill grinding pain to
the heart, that when our Executive Governor, Engr. Dave Umahi is doing
everything possibly good to rebuild the misconceived perception of
Ebonyians, some persons are going out of their way to rubbish the
sincere efforts of the Governor with their reckless social activities.
Ebonyi
State is known for hard work, Extra Combatant, resilience and her
ability to maintain her status in farm products especially as the
biggest rice producing state in the country. Our indigines are found
over the country engaging themselves in sincere works regardless of how
odd and demeaning the job is, just to better their lives and promote the
growth of the nation. The late Akanu Ibiam of the Blessed memory,
Sen.Sam Egwu (a former State Governor and Minister of Education), Chief
Anyim Pius Anyim (a former SGF of the country) and many other notable
Nigerians are proofs that our Education system is second to none and has
constantly churned out professionals.
Our
women have also lived up to the expectations that have made us pride
ourselves as Ebonyians, the Young female Legends and the likes of ChaCha
Eke, Grace Amah in Nollywood Capt.Okoro Agha in Nigerian Army and Our
female Soldiers in the Sambisa forest fighting to Restored the dignity
of our Nation, Jennifer Okorie with her foundation and charitable
activities amongst others have kept our name on the lips of many as not
only hard and dedicated workers but Sincere individuals. This same pride
is what Hon.Maria Ude is tarnishing with her excesses.
The
recent allegations of scam leveled against Hon.Maria Ude Nwachi goes a
long way to state that in every Twelve there must be a Judas. While
other members of the State Assembly are busy racking their brains on how
to better their constituencies by Sponsoring bills towards that effect,
it is so disgraceful that Hon.Maria Ude Nwachi had other plans than
being a voice for her Constituency that elected her in the first place,
as she's is yet to sponsor any bill that benefits her constituency.
It
is quite baffling as to why an Honorable Member of a State Assembly
would decide after obviously deliberations to defraud over 1.4million
Nigerians as alleged by her victims on Igboist. Coming at a time when
most Nigerians are trying to recover from the knockout effects of MMM
and other Ponzi Schemes, it shows that people we've elected to care for
us and bring us the dividends of Democracy care more about their pockets
and how they can take the little we have.
So
many questions begins to emanate from this alleged scam, Was the online
scam a planned way by Hon. Maria Ude Nwachi to raise funds for her
campaign for 2019 Elections? What actions is the State Assembly taking
to uphold the image of the state that has already been smeared by Hon.
Ude. Nwachi.
It can be recalled that same Hon.
Maria Ude Nwachi was suspended by the State Assembly for misplacing
priorities and becoming a street photographer instead of the Hon. Member
she was elected to be. As much as I may have reservations for her
suspension based on those grounds, since I believe people should be
allowed to continue their hobbies even when they are occupying public
offices, but with the recent actions of the lawmaker it is becoming
clear what the State Assembly saw that prompted her suspension.
I
pray the State Government and Ebonyi State House of Assembly to rise to
the occasion and save our state from further embarrassment. The First
Lady, Chief Mrs. Rachel Umahi and her Family Succor has a big role to
play at the moment in salvaging the image of the state as the mother of
the State and an Ambassador of good Family morals and Great Values of
motherhood, else it would be perceived from different quarters that
Ebonyians are heartless fraudsters, and we the female indigenes would be
the first hit of the misconception.
This is
not just a case of an individual at the moment, it has gone to a large
smear of the image of the entire state, and something needs to be done
Urgently to redeem the image of the state, as it may affect most of us
out there making the State proud.
Your
Excellency Sir, This is obviously not the file you and the First Lady
would want on your table even as a leader of your transformed Political
Party (PDP) in the South East and particularly in Our beloved Ebonyi
State, but it has become one that needs to be addressed urgently to
arrest the situation and find a lasting solution to curtailing the
excesses of Hon. Maria Ude Nwachi, else the image of the State and that
of her citizens would be in Jeopardy.
Your's sincerely
