The chairman of African Democratic Congress in Abia State,
Chief Don Norman Obinna, has said that the governorship candidate of the party Bishop Sunday Onuoha, is a mole sent to destroy the party.
He also alleged that a former governor of the State, Chief Theodore Orji, was behind Onuoha's sojourn into the state chapter of the ADC to destabilize the party.
Obinna, who spoke in Umuahia the state capital on Thursday, reiterated that Onuoha, is no longer the governorship candidate of the party, adding that the state chapter of the party would adopt a candidate that represent her mission and vision in the state soon.
He stated Onuoha, was not interested about contesting the governorship election in the state, rather he deceived the national chairman of the party to obtained her ticket to enable him negotiate for settlement.
According to him, "I don't want this to continue to come from me as the state chairman of the party, but the truth is that given the situation on ground you will realize that Bishop Sunday Onuoha, is not contesting any election.
"It is not about me saying it, but let's look at his antecedents. Since we concluded our primaries when he emerged through a means that only the national chairman and the returning Officer can explain, he hasn't shown any kind of seriousness as someone contesting an election.
"Go round Abia State, you will not see any of his billboard, no posters in the whole 17 Local Government Area, no branded buses for campaigns.
"We don't know who is his running mate is, we were only told that his running mate is a woman from Ukwa-West Local Government Area who contested a councillorship
election under the Peoples Democratic Party and failed. We don't even know who she is.
"As I speak to you, the man who claims he's running an election under the platform of our party has no campaign council and director general.
"He has no campaign office except a three bedroom flat in somewhere in town.We have seven party offices in Abia State and I rented all of them, including the One in Aba, Ohafia, Arochukwu and even the one in Bende his Local Government.The state Secretariat was rented by me, the Umuahia North office and others.
"It's not about me saying that he is not contesting an election, which is the truth. The reason why I have been shouting that that man is mole is because of our idealogy as a party and my person. Because I'm an embodiment of opposition in this state. We came with the spirit to dislodged the ruling party in Abia State.
"We went round the 17 Local Government and 184 wards in the state when we took time and painfully set up what people see today as ADC. But Immediately Onuoha, came into the party that fire died down. He destroyed the party in this state. As at today, you cannot go to any Local Government in the state and see our members there. He causing confusion everywhere in the party. I learnt that chief Theodore Orji, sent him to come and destroy the party and I proved it.
"He was bragging that the owners of Abia State were behind him. He claimed that they had arrived at a consensus that he will be the next governor of Abia State. He even went as far as saying that for president Olusegun Obasanjo, was his sponsor, but as I speak to you the only investment has in ADC is just two celling fans.
"So is not about me,if we want to dislodge the PDP we must do something greater than the party we are trying to dislodge. But as I speak to you Onuoha, drew the party backwards and went as far as bribing the National chairman of the party that ADC has been dissolved in the state.
"I went after the National chairman and we removed him, he went to Court, but the judgement is coming on Tuesday December 20, 2022 and after that judgement he will cease to parade himself as the ADC National chairman.
"Bishop Sunday Onuoha, has always been a mole, he lives a fake life, if speaks five hundred words 499 will be lies. Go and check his antecedents, from the first time he ventured into politics under the PDP to contest the Abia North senatorial district election, he messed the whole thing up. He couldn't even win his own local government. All he did was to use his sweet tounge to deceive the people that he was popular.
"He came into Abia ADC and deceived our sacked National chairman that he was somebody and the results is what you are seeing today. Sunday Onuoha, will never be ADC governorship candidate for 2023 governorship election in this state, if he's contesting election he's contesting on his own.
"We are going to make stand public soon via a press conference where the decisions of party will be presented to the people of the state, because we are not mediocre, we going to look for a governorship candidate who is serious and has the interest of the masses at heart to adopt. We will adopt based on popularity, manifesto and what the person wants to offer to Abians. We cannot be saying that we want to remove a party like the PDP with somebody like Sunday Onuoha, the question is he really contesting an election?
"Let me give you an example, where his office is located now is owned by the Abia State government. If he's really contesting an election against the wish of the state government, they would have cealed up his radio station by now.
"I don't believe that he's running an election, because if he's doing so we should have seen his mainesto, his campaign DG, we should have known his running mate and his campaign branded buses should have been everywhere.
"Upto now he's has not even flag off his campaign. For me he's sleeping at his radio station. ADC as a party has detached her self from Bishop Sunday Onuoha. Whatever he's doing now he's doing on his own. We have allowed him to play along because he's a mediocre".
