*CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO HON. SMART IHUOMA*
1. I align myself with God’s wish to see Hon. Smart Ihuoma emerged as the flag bearer of our great Party in the Umuahia North Local Government Chairmanship primary election.
2. His emergence is a testament to his perseverance and dedication to loyalty to our amiable Governor Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, CFR.
3. His choice is a clear demonstration of unwavering adherence to the teachings of Loyalty Philosophers like John Kleinig, an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Criminal Justice, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York- “Loyalty is usually seen as a virtue, albeit a problematic one. It is constituted centrally by perseverance in an association to which a person has become intrinsically committed as a matter of his or her identity.”
4. Since i am out of the contest due to circumstantial providence, I take leave here to congratulate him on his well-deserved success. He must be highly content with this ticket as he has undoubtedly worked very hard to reach here. His commitment and dedication to the Party and our leader did help him to achieve this feat.
5. I wish to appreciate and thank our leader and the Governor of our God’s Own State, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, who through his able leadership and direction, our brother emerged as the Party’s candidate for the Chairman of Umuahia North Local Government Area in the forthcoming Abia State election.
6. I am aware and very confident that Hon. Smart Ihuoma will learn a lot from the visionary governor, who is nothing but an enigma, in the course of his tenure as to deliver on the mandate and push Umuahia North to the next level of development.
7. I urge everyone, including those who were part of the primary election to rally round Hon. Smart Ihuoma and assist in giving him final victory at the election proper.
8. I am sure he appreciates the enormity of these responsibilities and hope he will justify the expectations of all the enthusiastic Ndi Umuahia North at large.
9. I am available to lend my support and to appropriately offer my best advice where necessary to ensure a hitch free and smooth tenure during your stay in the office.
10. He should, however, be wary of people (woofs in sheep cloths) who are very inconsistent with their actions and ever ready and willing to undo any perceived obstacle to their unbridled ambitious quests.
11. I am convinced that by the special grace of God, we will have reasons to be grateful to God for your emergence. Once more, this is wishing you great success and all the best.
Hon. High Chief Victor Ikeji (Kpakpando-Umuahia) Mayor Umuahia North LGA
