Emeka Ihedioha is a known chronic beggar, before the selection of PDP Vice Presidential candidate, Ihedioha had schemed around begging Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to use him as his running mate.
To make his fruitless desire more unfruitful, Ihedioha engaged his social media handlers to hype the ambition. At a time, Ihedioha was rejoicing and dancing that Atiku had selected him as his running mate. All these later came out to be spurious, puerile, and misleadingly desperation.
Few days ago, Ihedioha had joined in the Abuja meeting and was said to have begged Senator Iyorchia Ayu led NWC, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa and Aminu Tambuwal to save him from imminent collapse.
What was he begging for, to allow him retain the position of Chairman of PCC list for Imo state. This is the last request Alhaji Atiku Abubakar could ever grant for Ihedioha after he greedily diverted and hijacked hundreds of million given to him by same Atiku in 2019.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar knows that Ihedioha has gone bankrupt and needed some raw cash to sustain his Governorship bid ahead of 2023 elections. Atiku knows that once Ihedioha was given the position, he would stock and starch all the millions from him for his Governorship ambition. No wonder Atiku and co outrightly rejected him and his undeserving desire.
Just yesterday, after Atiku approved the nomination of Hon Greg Egu as the Director General of PCC for Imo State, Ihedioha was let loose as he directed his social media handlers to start spreading falsehood that he and his defunct Deputy, Gerald Irona were retained as PCC Chairman and Deputy respectively. Did Ihedioha ever know that Atiku could only trust Hon Egu than any of them? Did Ihedioha know that Hon Egu is too close to Atiku than Ihedioha himself?
Why does Ihedioha scheme around so desperately for power? Why does he resort to begging and blackmail anytime he fails to secure what he desires politically? Is Ihedioha truly an Imo or Igbo man? This is because Igbos are not seen to be too beggarly especially, when such thing is coming from a Northerner (Aboki) and Westerner (Onye Ofe Nmanu).
The most annoying part of it is that once Ihedioha’s begging spirit becomes botched, he comes back to Imo state to start punching and slapping those he think were instrumental to his failure.
May Ihedioha never be our portion in life!
