Since the recent visit of Abia State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Orji to Senate Minority Leader and Senator representing Abia North, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, the political space in Abia State has known no peace with some individuals describing the visit and statements made during the visit to be against Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State.
But, in press release made available to AFNEWS and signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker Sir Jude Ndukwe, the speaker stated categorically that he will no longer engage those who he described as “political jobbers working for their bosses with vaulting ambitions”.
The speaker also revealed that the only persons he owes explanation is the Executive Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, and his Colleagues in the House.

Press Release
Following the needless uproar generated by self seeking and self appointed political lackeys in Abia State over the recent visit of the Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the Rt Hon Speaker does not and will not, in his usual calm mien, respond to the rantings of political jobbers known to be working for their bosses with vaulting ambitions.
He will not be part of any ploy to irritate him into joining issues with such lackeys to heat up our otherwise peaceful polity as they were nowhere to be found when the fight for Dr Okezie Ikpeazu to be Governor was spearheaded.
Since they are not wise enough to sincerely engage Mr Speaker with a view to finding out what actually transpired at the visit but have chosen to become needlessly belligerent, Mr Speaker does not owe anyone of them any explanation whatsoever, except to the Executive Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, and his Colleagues in the House. He will therefore keep ignoring the rants of these political jobbers.
Thank you.
Jude Ndukwe
