IS IKE EKWEREMADU OLD OR IT IS JUST ANOTHER BLIND HATE?
BY Cele Okanya
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi was born on 20 March 1964 (age 57). He will be 59 years in official age in 2023. He is planning to join Senate at the age of almost 60 years..
Engr David Umahi was born July 25th 1964, he therefore 58 years old. One is not sure what he wants from politics in 2023, but it's like he would be hoping to go to Senate if every other plans fail at age of 60.
Hope Uzodinma was born 12 December 1945 (age 75). He will be in power if not voted out by Imo people till he is 82 years old. He is now the Governor of Imo State.
Willie Obiano was born 8 August 1955 (age 66). He is the Governor of Anambra State positioning himself for the Senate at the age of 69 years.
Okezie Victor Ikpeazu was born October 18, 1964 (age 56), he is the Governor of Abia State. No doubt he is putting plans in place to join the Senate at age of 59 years.
Some of my people speak from the two sides of the mouth. On one side, they say it's okay that in 2023 Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi the governor can proceed to Senate at the age of 60 for many years to come after failing to perform in both House of Representative (12years) and as a two term Governor(8 years).
The same people speaking from the other side of their mouth, argue that Ekweremadu is old and should go home. Some of those claiming to be youths are even above 50 or older than Ike. Ekweremadu. Who is a youth? Does being a youth translate to competence and integrity? Please check with our neighbors, Kogi State.
Ike is 59 years old. He is just blessed and entrusted with positions, not by man or force but God's grace. If you have a problem with that, talk to God. He has dedicated majority of these years to the service of his people that is why they have continued to elect him to the senate.He has transformed his constituency into an enviable Senatorial Zone with roads, Power supply, schools, Dams and water projects. He has raised men and women through scholarship awarded by Ikeoha Foundation.
He knows no boundaries when it comes to projects and scholarships. In my own LGA, he built Iheaka Ovoko Agu road, and ongoing borehole project in my own village. Note, as a Law Maker, he could have restricted himself to his constituency. But he believes he is a Senator for All. That is performance and competence. What has our own Law Makers in Enugu North Senatorial Zone done for us?
Look for another reason for your hatred of IKEOHA but not age or competence. Many us are clamoring for 61 years old Prof. Chukwuma Soludo for Anambra Governorship. Ike is 59 for God's sake.
We conclude that it is shear jealousy. You have the right to hate anyone but do not expect me to do the same. Only fools inherit other people's enemies. I cannot hate anyone just because you hate him or her. I have my own mind and senses.
Better Days Ahead
