Ahead of the Feb. 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, the candidate of Action Peoples Party, APP for Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency of Abia State, Mrs. Lilian Chinasa Obenwa has hit the incumbent representative of the constituency, Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, asking her to keep “weeping like a baby”.
She was responding to allegation by Hon. Onyejeocha that she (Obenwa) is being sponsored by Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu representing Abia North to unseat her.
Featuring on ABN TV’s Political Perspective, Mrs. Obenwa said there is no truth is the allegation being raised by Hon. Onyejeocha, stating that she has capacity and qualification to take up the people’s mandate, accusing Onyejeocha of being gripped in fear of impending loss at the polls.
“I don’t know why she is crying like a baby, let her come to the poll, she knows she has lost it already. I can tell you this is the end of Nkeiruka Onyejeocha’s fruitless journey as a member of House of Representatives.
“I, Lilian Chinasa Obenwa will unseat her. She should leave the stage honourably now that the ovation is…. I’ll not praise her by saying it’s high because it’s reducing.
“She’s going to lament, not just crying because she took my ticket in 2018, the party helped her and all the people that helped her, she is biting. The end of her journey at the National Assembly is now and I will unseat her”, she vowed.
Obenwa who dumped the APC for the APP to seek election urged Hon. Onyejeocha to concentrate on her party and campaign and leave APP alone.
Hon. Onyejeocha had during APC presidential campaign rally in Umuahia on Tuesday alleged that Sen. Kalu is sponsoring at least five persons to remove fifth term as a member of the House of Representatives.
