Allegation Against Uzodimma: Ngor Okpala APC in Disarray as Members Shun Kangaroo Reception of New Entrants By Embattled Legislative Leader

It's now a classical case of one day one flop for the embattled councillor of Obiangwu/Ezemba Ward 10, and Leader of Ngor Okpala Legislative Council, Hon Chibuike Agbugba, as his purported kangaroo reception of new members into the APC yesterday reportedly failed woefully,as officials, stakeholders, leaders and members of the party in his ward and LGA stayed away from the event.

According to grapevine sources the rank and file of the party in his Obiangwu/Ezemba Ward,and Ngor Okpala as a whole shunned the purported reception in protest against his alleged throwing of the party into disarray in his ward and LGA. He reportedly threw the party in the area into confusion with his recent allegation that Gov Hope Uzodimma told him and his colleagues from the other twenty seven local governments of the state in confidence that he has reserved 2027 Owerri Zone Senate ticket for Prince Alex Mbata from Owerri North LGA. That claim is being perceived in Ngor Okpala APC and the LGA generally as gross betrayal of trust as it amounted to open repudiation of the growing aspiration of the council to represent Owerri Zone in the Senate in 2027.

Yesterday's allegedly flopped reception of decampees was, therefore another effort in a long line of efforts so far made by the embattled lawmaker, to redeem his image that's been badly battered and bruised in the wake of that statement.

Since throwing APC in Obiangwu/Ezemba Ward, and Ngor Okpala into disarray the lawmaker has faced unprecedented criticism and condemnation, and is on brink of becoming a political pariah in both his Obiangwu/Ezemba Ward, and Ngor okpala LGA as a whole.

To stave off his imminent descent into political oblivion, he has being running from pillar to post,trying to organize one face saving political event or another, in an attempt reduce the overwhelming backlash that has trailed that monumental gaffe, with the intention of redeeming his seriously dented image.

Just this last Monday he called Councillors from the LGA to a meeting at a hotel at Umuowa Junction, Along Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Road, and begged them to pass a vote of confidence on him, but that effort flopped miserably, as the councillors not only declined, but also walked out on him.

This yesterday, Tuesday,June 24, 2025, hurried reception of a few purported decampees into the party, who were said to have been imported from his wife's village,was yet another of the series of failed attempts he has so far made redeem himself,sadly it crashed like those before it.

According to sources within the ward being a party function,the event was supposed to have been graced by stakeholders, leaders and members of APC in the ward. But no single leader or stakeholder of the party attended the event. The number one member of the party in his ward, the Ward Chairman was absent,so also the Government Liason Officer, GLO, and down to other party executive and members in his ward. He never informed them and they didn't attend.

Also, no notable leader or stakeholder of the party in the whole of Ngor Okpala graced the event, including his fellow councillors and the Executive Chairperson of the LGA. Also, when the Imo APC Chairman Hon Macdonald Ebere, PhD, who he claimed gave the go ahead to the event was contacted, he denied authorizing the event.

Confidence Vote Effort Crumbles as Ngor Okpala Councillors Stage Walkout on Executive Chairperson, Legislative Leader

A desperate attempt by the embattled leadership of the executive and legislative arms of Ngor Okpala Local Government Area, to shore up their battered image by way of passage of confidence vote by Ward Councillors from the council, has reportedly hit the rocks, following the staging of a Walkout from a meeting called for that purpose, by the councillors.

According to comptent sources who were at the venue of the meeting held at a popular hotel located along the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Ngor Okpala, Hon Chibuike Agbugba and Hon Chika Ibekwe, Leader of the Legislative Council and Chairperson of the LGA, had hurriedly convened the meeting with the aim of securing confidence vote from the councillors, to counter the ongoing image battering they are facing in the wake of the coming into the open of the allegation leveled against Gov Hope Uzodimma by the Council Leader.

Recall that last Sunday, June 22, 2025, a voice note from a telephone conversation between Hon Agbugba and unnamed suspected supporter was relayed at an emergency general assembly meeting of Obiangwu Autonomous Community, held at the community's town hall.

In the leaked clip the embattled councillor was heard telling the person he was discussing with that the Governor Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma had told him and his colleagues from the 27 local government areas of the state,that he had ceded Owerri Zone 2027 APC Senate ticket to Prince Alex Mbata,and also instructed them to work with him.

Angered by that action which they perceived as gross betrayal of trust of the people and the governor, provocative and capable of creating crisis in the party in Owerri zone, the community had strongly condemned the act, and further called for disciplinary action against him.

It is not only the people of Obiangwu community that the revelation had drawn their ire since it broke, as many stakeholders in APC Ngor Okpala and the council generally have seriously criticized the Legislative Council Leader, and the chairperson of the LGA over the issue.

The flopped meeting of yesterday,
therefore, was one of the emergency steps allegedly taken by the duo to see how to salvage their sinking image and name, but unfortunately it failed woefully.

It was gathered that during the session after briefing his colleagues on why the meeting was convened, Hon Agbugba had passionately appealed to them to sign a document to pass vote of confidence on him and the chairperson.

However, the councillors bluntly refused to sign the document, even after the embattled leader had begged them with teary eyes to do that, if not for his sake but for the sake of his wife who he said was critically ill, to help him retrieve his sinking image and political fortune. Unfortunately for him despite his pleadings the lawmakees bluntly refused to document, and when he persisted they staged a Walkout from the meeting venue.

It was gathered that their main grouse for refusing his overtures was that they were angry with him for betraying the trust bestowed on his office, as well as the mistreatment they have faced in his hand and that of the chairperson since they were sworn into office.

Sources close to the council leadership revealed that the refusal of the councillors to sign the confidence document left them dry and angry, leading to their threatening them that they stop paying them monthly impresit.

It was also gathered that the duo are still desperately looking for ways to salvage the worsening situation, and may stage a make believe reception for purported new decampees into the party in the councillors ward any moment from now, for that same purpose.

MY TEN TAKEAWAYS FROM PSG CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TRIUMPH.

1) Never ever give up on your dream: When the Qatar government bought PSG and made Nasser Al-Khelaifi President, he was unambiguous in his vision of transforming the club into a champions league winning team. For over a decade now he has held tight that dream, despite it seeming impossible. Today, PSG has won its first ever champions league.

2) Never ever put your hope in men. At a point in time it looked like the vision of PSG owners to clinch UCL turned into desperation. They seemed to have felt then that buying all the superstars in Europe football was the secret to winning the trophy, and they went about buying superstars like Messi, Nyemar,and others. But, victory remained elusive.

3) Patience pays handsomely: Kylian Mpape won almost everything there's to be won in world and European football. He won World Cup, European Championship and all major trophies in France football. He felt what was left to complete his legacy is UCL,and after several failed attempts with his boyhood club, PSG,he concluded that he may not achieve that dream there, and he left to Real Madrid. Barely one year after his exit PSG won the cup.

4)Success is not always product of talent but more of planning and preparation. A few sessions back PSG was filled to the brim with talented superstars, yet despite this glut of talents it couldn't manage to win the UCL. Now, with largely unknown names it has become king of European football.

5) Success is sweetest and most cherished when gotten when every hope appears lost. It's not only PSG, their fans and the city of Paris who are celebrating the UCL victory. The whole of France is celebrating the victory,including the government led by Emmanuel Macron, and this is because it came at the peak of its hunger.

6) If you can fall many times and rise as many times as you fell one day you'll achieve your goal: For nearly fifteen years now failure has defined every effort of PSG to win UCL. In fact, it got to a stage it was said in some quarters that PSG is doomed as far winning the competition was concerned. Some even concluded they'll never win it. However, the club refused to be defined by failure, and kept working hard to achieve their goal. The rest is now history.

7) When God says yes nobody can say no. All the time PSG has sought to grab the championship,
there was virtually nothing under the sun and within their power, they didn't do to win it. For instance during 2010 campaign they exhibited so much signs of having what it takes to win the cup. That was the year they trashed giants Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg of their semi final clash,making almost everybody to think they're potential winners. But, lo and behold, that dream vanished like vapour in the return fixture, where they lost heavily by 6 to one.

8) If there's true level playing field in world football African countries and players can win World cup/ Balon D'or: The more i think about the exploits of Dembele, Desire Doue and Lamine Yamal in the just concluded UCL campaign, and contributions to the illustrious trajectory of Spain and France, as well as their present ranking as potential first three to win Ballon'Dor, the more my conviction that Africa countries and players can,with level playing ground win the World Cup and Ballon'Dor like Europe and America.

9) When God wants to announce you, He does that at the biggest stage: Before the champions league victory, Desire Doue and a good number of PSG players can't be mentioned in the same breath as superstars Mpape, Ronaldo and our own goal machine Osihmen,but as i speak they're now on lips and radar of almost all major clubs and managers in Europe.

10) Champions League May One Eclipse World Cup: Looking at the way this competition continues to exponentially gain popularity globally, I'm afraid a day may come when it will displace the World Cup as the most popular and biggest footballing competition in the world.
