APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe cries out of marginalization and cheating
The is the face of serial traitor, betrayer, serial liar, an unsteady character, without honour, without soul , without grace, without dignity a innd without life.
His name is Mr Uche Dimgba. Ndigbo in APC Lagos asked him to take up the role of Coordinator of the group from former coordinator, Chris Ekwilo in preparation for the 2023 national elections.
We worked so hard and spent money, time and energy transversing the political landscape of Lagos and succeeded in building deep political structures in 37 LGAs and LCDAs in Lagos. So many issues confronted me in the course these movements across the Lagos Metropolis.
I left Mr Uche Dimgba to handle everything. In fact we do our meetings in his house in IKEJA. So many issues came in this journey to build Ndigbo in APC Lago. Mr Uche Dimgba became a dictator, harassing, intimidating, frustrating members.
Money and material things meant for our teeming followers were mismanaged with impunity and arrogance. I tried to manage these series of complaints because a major elections is coming up and our Principal, PBAT is on the ballot and Presidential elections will come first and it is critical.
I swallowed all these because of the task we have ahead.
Few weeks to the national elections Uche Dimgba tried to introduce me to a particular man he called Festus who came from Abuja and claimed he is on a mission in Lagos to deliver Igbo votes to APC.
I said how? How can he do this? Where is he coming? Does he understand the dynamics of Lagos politics? I asked Mr Uche Dimgba lots and lots of questions which he could not answer. I ran away with the thinking that this sounded like a 419 stuff.
In our many phone conversations I reminded Dimgba that we have spent millions, time and energy to build Ndigbo in APC Lagos and now you are introducing someone we do not know his background, his character, his pedigree few weeks to the elections proper.
It became a long argument. I was shocked when the Abuja man, Festus started getting attention in Lagos leadership. I was totally devastated, humiliated and frustrated. I managed myself because I know what is at stake.
When the long throat , greedy and our uncoordinated coordinator noticed that the Abuja man was getting too much attention from Lagos to the detriment of Ndigbo in APC Lagos he left Ndigbo in APC Lagos to join the group. We moved on .
This is Uche Dimgba who invited some Igbo persons in his house without telling them his motive. It turned out to be a press conference to announce that he is now the authentic leader of Ndigbo in APC Lagos.
He tried in no uncertain terms to destroy my person and small respect I have earned in Lagos politics. This is the way we play our politics. No tact, no coordination, no political sense, no common sense, no respect for constituted authority, no finesse, no character, , no honour, no grace etc. Mr Uche Dimgba to lead me in Lagos politics?
This is the biggest joke of the century, a misnomer, an aberration, a story told by a certain cultural savage, all noise and no substance, full of sound and fury signifying nothing. But we will receive political sense las las in matters of Nigerian politics in the fullness of time.
In the peak of National Assembly elections Mr Uche Dimgba used the letter headed paper of Ndigbo in APC Lagos to write the Clerk of the National Assembly to facilitate the emergence of Orji Uzo Kalu who is from his home town Igbere in Abia State as Senate President.
The compound illiterate did not know that the issue of who becomes the Leaders of the National Assembly resides with National Leadership of APC Nigeria. The political illiterate lost woefully.
I will not say much how Uche Dimgba stole most of the things I gave him for Ndigbo in APC Lagos. It is a story for another day. I slept on the same bed with fierce and dangerous lion.
The lion tried to devour all. Responding to Mr Uche Dimgba is like wrestling with a pig. When you wrestle with a pig your hands will be dirty and the pig will be happy..
