How Enemies are trying to seperate Ifeanyi Ubah and Innoson friendship

Since the election of Senator Dr Ikemba Ifeanyi Ubah into the Senate on the 23rd of February 2019 on the platform of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), his political enemies who are still in shock over how he made it to the Senate from an unknown political party have not relented on their effort to either pull him down or distract him from making any meaningful impact in the Senate.

These known and unknown political enemies started fighting him from the day he was declared winner and returned elected. The moment Ubah was declared winner, an attempt was made on the returning officer for Anambra state senatorial zone, Prof Umenweke. In a shocking move, the Professor and Dean of Law at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, who was the returning officer for the Anambra south senatorial election, few hours after announcing Ifeanyi Ubah winner, made a U-turn and declared the election inconclusive – that’s when the hand of Esau but voice of Jacob began to unveil.

The erroneous declaration of the election inconclusive threw up immediate challenges . But when the returning officer found out that the allegations that misled him into declaring the election inconclusive were unfounded,  he reverted to his earlier declaration and upheld the victory of Senator Dr Ikemba Ifeanyi Ubah. But the forces didn’t relent, they approached an Awka high court within 48 hours seeking the leave of the court to prosecute and jail the returning officer for daring to declare Dr Ifeanyi Ubah winner as against their preferred choice. The case went up to the Supreme court and they lost – Again, Ifeanyi Ubah survived.

While that was going on, PDP and APC candidates in that election went to the tribunal to seek nullification of the victory of YPP. They lost at the election petition Tribunal and also lost at the Appeal court.

When the Appeal court delivered judgement and upheld the victory of Senator Dr Ikemba Ifeanyi Ubah of YPP, everyone thought that the battle was over and that Ubah could now settle at the Red Chambers for the serious business of lawmaking. But while he was about to settle, another heartbreaking news came that one FCT high court at Kubwa, Abuja had sacked him.

The Kubwa judgement was unexpected. No one knew when and how the judgement came about. It became another issue, another battle. The enemies were prepared to stop him. But God remained with Ifeanyi Ubah. That was their highest plot to knock him out of the Senate having backdated the judgement, to enable any appeal on it become status barred, But God still made a way.

Investigation was quickly launched by Ubah and his team and it came out that the judgement was fake. All processes were forged. Court documents were falsified. They did all these judiciary coup just to unseat Senator Dr Ikemba Ifeanyi Ubah. With these facts, the fake judgement was dismissed at the Appeal court and at the Supreme court it was a mere tissue paper that was struck out – Again, Ifeanyi Ubah defeated them.

And the media attacks became a daily thing. They churn one fake news to another against Ubah. If it is not that he will be jailed soon by AMCON, it is that EFCC just arrested him. But as days go by, people began to see the truth. There was no EFCC anywhere and the AMCON thing has been a long litigation that has been on since 2012. The enemies in their lack of indept research to convince the gullible didn’t know that in 2014, a consent judgement was entered in favour of Ubah and Capital Oil. AMCON has refused to obey the judgement but chose to institute fresh as the witch hunt continued.

While Ubah thought that the media war has lost steam, the enemies enlisted Senator Chukwuka Utazi from Enugu state who is representing Ndi Nsukka zone at the Senate.

Recall that Dr Obinna Uzo was used to give a face and legitimacy to the fake judgement that was procured against Ubah. This time the enemies enlisted a Senator to give face to their new plot. They failed at the polling booths. The courts also failed them. The media propaganda isn’t working, so they brought in Utazi in this latest move.

Senator Chukwuka Utazi was enlisted to give legitimacy to their social media fake news. A plot was therefore hatched against Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. The plot was to tarnish his image and defame him. The enemies knowing that Chief Innocent Chukwuma, the CEO Innoson Group is a respected Igbo entrepreneur whose vehicle brands are highly projected as “nke anyi”  decided to build their false news report around it.

On 11th July 2020, a fake report was circulated on social media that Senator Ubah at the level of Land Transport Committee meeting rejected Innoson brands and discouraged the senate from procuring the IVM vehicles. This news was circulated on social media with Psuedo accounts. The fake news specifically named Senator Ifeanyi Ubah as the senator that spoke against Innoson at Land Transport Committee meeting. Like I said, Utazi was enlisted to give legitimacy to the faceless news against Ubah. So on Tuesday, July 14 Senator Chukwuka Utazi rose at the floor of the Senate to make a Point of Order under Order 43 of the Senate.

In his speech, Utazi gave a face to faceless news report that was circulated against Ubah on social media on July 11. Utazi rose and cited the fake social media report as his source. He told the senate that a senator from southeast disparaged and used some unprintable remarks against Innoson at the level of Senate Committee on Land Transport.
