Imagine an Abia South where the rhythm of development beats in harmony, from the Government House in Umuahia to the industrious streets of Aba, down to the oil-bearing communities of Ukwa. Imagine a district where federal representation is not at odds with state leadership, but in perfect alignment. That is the Abia South that could have emerged if Chinedu Onyeizu had taken his place in the Senate in 2023, working hand in hand with Governor Alex Otti.

Some indigenes of Abia State have taken a swipe at Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe following his recent remarks alleging that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not win the 2023 presidential election, but that the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi, was the actual winner.

If vision had prevailed in the 2023 general election, Abia South Senatorial District would today be telling a very different story, one defined not by length of service, but by depth of impact.

Federal presence is thin, empowerment is limited, and opportunities for youths and women have been more a matter of chance than of deliberate policy. While other senatorial districts across the country point to roads, institutions, employment schemes, and structured empowerment programmes attracted by their…
