The Honorable Commissioner for Information in Abia State, Barrister Eze Chikamnayo, has reacted to a statement credited to Hon. Barr. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha alleging that Commissioners in the state come to beg her for money.
Onyejeocha, the member representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency in the National Assembly had alleged that the governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, do not pay his appointed commissioners, challenging him to deny her claims.
“I’ve not seen any government that don’t pay commissioners and empower them with impress to be able to offer even little assistance to the people in need since they can’t offer employment.”
“We’re talking of non-payment of salaries. If you can’t do that then you don’t have any business being in government,” the lawmaker had said.
Responding in a statement, the Information boss, Eze Chikamnayo said Onyejeocha was trying to get cheap political attention by attacking Governor Ikpeazu. The Commissioner accused the House member of throwing her once manageable party, APC, into a ‘permanently polarized and finished – locked in a fractricidal war of attrition, wits and wanton opportunism, while she keeps pretending to be holy
“Nkiru Onyejeocha prefers to overprice herself and dabble into avoidable conflicts that threaten the prevalent atmosphere of peace in the State. Sadly, with the upcoming elections, her moment of reckoning with the electorate has come.
Commissioners in Abia State will not reply Nkiru Onyejeocha neither will Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu stoop low to her lowlife
We can only pity her and ignore her rantings propelled by an excess dose of inferiority complex. Her restlessness is obviously borne out of her realization that all her scheming and deceptive posturing have landed her in a perennial cul de sac.
On a personal note, I will advise Nkiru Onyejeocha to thread with caution and avoid investing in ant infested firewoods. If she continues in her usual bragadaccio, the lizards will visit her neighborhood and all her thick putrefaction will be exposed to her own loss and chagrain.
A word is enough for the wise” the statement read in part.
