Dear Good People of Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South,

Hon. Obi Aguocha and his camp keep telling us the same line: “We are not going back to Egypt. We shall never go back to Egypt.” Every rally, every post, every press statement repeats it, as if saying it often enough could make it true. We have a simple reply for him today: there is no worse Egypt than the one you have kept this constituency in from 2023 till date. If any man is taking Ikwuano/Umuahia back to Egypt, it is the one asking for another term to do more of the same.

Egypt was a place of hunger, bondage and broken promises. Ask our people how they have lived since 2023. Empowerment left them reeling. Roads, markets and schools wait for the touch of a representative who is present. Young people wait for jobs, widows wait for relief, and the constituency waits for a scorecard that never comes. If that is not Egypt, Mr. Aguocha, tell us what is.

So let us put the questions to him plainly, and let him answer them in the open.

Two trailer loads of 50kg bags of rice came from the Federal Government for the relief of our people. Where are they? Who received them, in which wards, and on what date? How many bags reached the ordinary households they were meant for, and how many went somewhere else? Residents say the rice was sold while families went hungry. If that is false, the answer is easy: publish the distribution list, the ward-by-ward figures and the names of the beneficiaries.

And what of the garri? Why were our people handed spoilt garri, shared at night, away from the eyes of the public? Why was palliative food that residents say had been held back since 2023 only brought out after it had gone bad? Who kept it, where, and for what reason? Food meant to ease the pain of the poor should not be left to rot in a store while those it was meant for go to bed hungry.

These are not insults. They are the questions of a constituency that has been silent for too long, and they will keep coming until they are answered. A representative is a trustee of the people’s resources, and a trustee does not hide behind slogans when asked to account.

This is exactly where Rt. Hon. Engr Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji comes in. He is an engineer by training, a man who understands that development is a plan, a design and a build, not a slogan. He is the man everyone is rallying behind because he stands for what this constituency has been denied: transparency in palliatives, visibility in projects, and presence in the villages, markets and committees where our future is decided. Under him, relief will reach the right hands in broad daylight, with names and numbers on the table. That is the Midas touch we expect to bring to Umuahia/Ikwuano Federal Constituency come 2027.

Mr. Aguocha says we must never go back to Egypt. We agree, and that is precisely why we cannot afford to return him. Giving him another term would mean choosing Egypt a second time, and our people are too wise to make the same mistake twice. Talk to your neighbours, your churches, your age grades and your market associations. Collect your PVC and show up on election day.

Until the rice is accounted for and the garri is explained, the answer to Egypt is Rt. Hon. Engr Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji.
