Abia PDP speaks on former Deputy Governor’s romance with Governor Otti

The leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State
has reminded the immediate past Deputy Governor of the State, Rt. Hon Sir Udeh Okoli Chukwu, that while he is constitutionally free to admire or even align with whomsoever he pleases, it is a matter of moral science and natural law that gratitude should be the bedrock of every political pilgrimage.

Abia State chapter Chairman , Elder Abraham Amah who made this known in a release while reacting to the increasing frequency of calls and inquiries concerning the political whereabouts and affiliations of Rt. Hon. Ude Oko Chukwu, former Deputy Governor of Abia State and long-time beneficiary of PDP’s generational goodwill.

While observing with philosophical patience and classical restraint, the Party Chairman described it as curious and regrettably laughable that a man who occupied the corridors of power for twenty unbroken years under the PDP now seeks to rebrand himself by courting the Otti-led administration, with whispered ambitions of displacing the true labourers of that vineyard.

“Let it be placed on the record that Rt. Hon. Ude Oko Chukwu was never in the trenches when the wind howled hardest. His recent political flirtations are not born of conviction but of calculated self-preservation—a survivalist instinct dressed in the borrowed robes of loyalty.

“We are not unaware that his current disposition is less about ideological realignment and more about a desperate attempt to position himself ahead of men like Chief Boudex Onuoha, Chief Umeh Kalu (SAN), and Hon. Nnamdi Iro Orji—patriots who truly sowed in tears while others slept under the comfort of entitlement. To attempt to reap where he neither sowed nor watered is not politics; it is a tragicomedy of ego.

“But as the universal science of motion teaches: a pendulum that swings without restraint eventually exhausts itself. Our dear Rt. Hon. is free to dance where his spirit leads, but he must also be reminded that history neither forgets nor forgives opportunism masquerading as relevance,” Amah emphasized .

Elder Amah urged loyal party members across the state, to remain calm, focused, and discerning, revealing that the leadership of the party is meticulously following these developments.

According to him, a party is not threatened by the departure of shadows adding that PDP remains a tree of deep roots.

“Let those who choose expediency over principle remember: the stars that wander too far from their constellations are often mistaken for falling stars—brilliant for a moment, forgotten forever,” he philosophized.
