Aguocha Said He Can’t Give Us What He Can’t Give His Own Children. So Who Exactly Has He Given Anything To? – By Mandate 27 Group

Aguocha Said He Can’t Give Us What He Can’t Give His Own Children. So Who Exactly Has He Given Anything To? – By Mandate 27 Group

When he said he couldn’t give us what he couldn’t give his own children, we thought he was joking. Sadly, the question remains: how many people in Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency has he actually given what he gives to his own children?

Let that sink in. This is a man who rode the Labour Party wave of 2023 into the House of Representatives on the backs of people who believed in change. Today, those same people are asking where the change is. Where are the roads? Where are the jobs? Where are the projects that were supposedly captured in the budget? Which ward can point to one and say, “This is what Aguocha brought us”? Which village? Which market? Which school?

A father gives his children food, school fees, shelter and a future. A constituency that elects a representative expects nothing less, because the constituency is supposed to be his family. So why does it feel like we are strangers he only remembers when elections are near?

Now to the most shameful part. The Federal Government sent rice and garri through him for the constituents, meant for the poor, the widow, the pensioner and the jobless youth.

The accusation now on the lips of our people is that he diverted the rice and sold it off, and that when he finally brought out the garri, it was spoilt, and he had the mind to share it at night among people already hopeless and helpless. Think about the cruelty in that. Relief meant to ease hunger allegedly turned into a business, and what was left was handed to the hungry as if they were not worth the dignity of fresh food.

Would he sell the rice meant for his own children? Would he serve them spoilt garri in the dark? If the answer is no, then why was that good enough for ours? And if the accusation is false, the cure is simple. Publish the allocation, the distribution lists, the ward-by-ward figures, the names of those who received, and let the constituency see. Anything less is an admission that there is something to hide.

Then there are the stipend, the educational support and the empowerment schemes we keep hearing about in press releases. Who are the beneficiaries? Where are the lists, with names and amounts?

Why do the announcements come loud and the evidence come never? Why does every question about his record get answered with excuses, blame and talk of enemies instead of a simple scorecard?

And what of the line his camp has repeated until it has lost all meaning, that we shall never go back to Egypt? Egypt was hunger. Egypt was bondage. Egypt was a people made to wait while others feasted. If that is not what Ikwuano/Umuahia has lived through since 2023, what is it? If anyone is taking this constituency back to Egypt, it is the man asking for another term to repeat the same story.

Enough. Our people have done their own arithmetic. They have counted the promises and counted the projects, and the numbers do not match. They are done with slogans. They want a representative who will show up, speak up and deliver.

That man is Rt. Hon. Engr Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji. Where Aguocha offers excuses, Orji offers a plan. Where Aguocha hides behind press statements, Orji stands in the open, answerable to the people.

He is an engineer, trained to measure, to design and to build, and he will bring that discipline to the House with a Midas touch that turns promises into roads, programmes into jobs and palliatives into real relief, shared in daylight with names and numbers on the table.

The question stands, and Ikwuano/Umuahia will keep asking it until it is answered: how many people has Aguocha given what he gives his own children? Tell it to your age grade, your church, your market association and your family. Collect your PVC. In 2027, the constituency will give its answer at the ballot box, and it will be Rt. Hon. Engr Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji.
