Constituents lead fight against Reps member Anayo Onwuegbu over “Utara” machine empowerment

House of Representatives member Anayo Onwuegbu is presently on the lips of his constituents – for bad.

In their thousands, angry and disillusioned voters have taken over all media platforms in the zone, overwhelming them with dirty invectives, questions and demands.

Onwuegbu, who represents Aninri/Awgu/Oji-River constituency in Enugu State, shared items this morning. Included in the gifts are motorcycles, knapsack sprayers, grinding machines and fufu (utara) pounding machines.

Whoever that inspired the idea obviously didn’t know anything about timing; nor did he understands the priorities of the people. As soon as the news about the “empowerment programme” broke, the constituents united in protests.

Apart from giving to his people what they may not necessarily need, the sharing was bias and ashamedly selective.

Also, the “empowerment” has a carelessly-hidden political undertone. Last month, the federal lawmakers vowed to “mobilise grassroots support for [Tinubu’s] second term”. Unfortunately, however, Anayo Onwuegbu lacks the kind of influence he is hoping to exert few months before the campaigns for 2027 elections kickstart. He is not in touch with the grassroots as several surveys has shown, and he is not in touch with the socioeconomic realities inside his constituency.

“Anayo Onwuegbu – do we know him? Yes, we know his name. But do we know him, I ask?” one furious constituent, Onyeka Igwe, spoke with Info Wars.

He lost abysmally to Labour Party’s Chijioke Okereke in the 2023 election. But the People’s Democratic Party – seeing the need to fight LP serious incursions in Enugu – went to court, wrenched the mandate from LP and placed it on Onwuegbu’s waiting hands.

The ongoing backlashes would not just serve as a slap, but they also highlighted Onwuegbu’s emptiness and shown that he is a painful liability inside the circles of power brokers in the state.

His major opponents are only hoping that the protests reach ears of Governor Peter Mbah.

Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan, has just announced his resignation. He is no longer going to be part of PDP; he has dumped the party and moved on.

Ologbondiyan wrote, yesterday, to the Chairman of Okekoko Ward (Ward 09) – his ward – which is in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State. Then, he proceeded to share the letter on his verified X handle.

“Let me start by thanking you as well as other levels of leadership in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the opportunities provided for me to serve the party as well as our fatherland, Nigeria,” Ologbondiyan started. Then, threw the bombshell.

Even his obvious painstaking effort to hide his contempt for PDP didn’t work. It wasn’t all that blunt but his “personal reasons” for exiting the once most powerful political party in Nigeria was another nail on PDP pretty coffin.

Apart from serving PDP at its highest level in the past, Ologbondiyan is a skilled journalist. During the 2029 elections, he served as Director of Media and Publicity for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council.

Interestingly, Ologbondiyan didn’t mention where he was going from PDP.

But that could be predicted. His former boss, ex-President of the Senate David Mark, now sit as the Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Ologbondiyan may or may not be heading to join Mark. That’s not certain, anyways. But what is certain is that another prominent PDP member has left the room.

Waves of defection has hit PDP since earlier this year, only heightening to the level of utter destruction just months before another election cycle.
