EKELE NWAOHAMUO - WHAT A COMMISSIONER SHOULDN'T BE ; AN OPEN LETTER. Eugene Eze Job > Quick Reports.

By Comr. Eugene Eze Job
     SATOA State Chairman

Greed has raised no one, it diminishes your opportunities rather than prosper you. Greed has always been disadvantageous from the world go.
When you allow greed to blindfold your sense of duty or allow your sense of greed to ultimately supersede or control your sense of direction, trust me, you are finished for life, and it will take just the grace of God for you to come out of it and make progress.

The afore goes to Ekele Nwaohamuo, the Abia State commissioner for transportation, a man who has become what a commissioner shouldn't be. His greed is ultimately leading him off track and he has derailed from the fundamental straightedge the Ikpeazu government stands for.

While the government of Ikpeazu is effortlessly toiling day and night to ensure that Abians enjoy dividends of democracy, a saboteur like Ekele Nwaohamuo is busy sabotaging the efforts of the government, because of his sheer greed and uncalled kleptocracy.
 Then the question becomes; if Ikpeazu offended Nwaohamuo by appointing him to serve Abia and Abians as commissioner?

It is so disheartening that Ekele Nwaohamuo had long traded on hire purchase the legacy of confidence and reliability entrusted into his hands by the government. The legacy of trustworthiness left behind by his predecessors; he has fragmented with greed.

The State government in her quest to regulate and checkmate the activities of tricycle operations in Abia had instructed that all tricycles in the State be painted with the Abia colour, which is GREEN & BROWN.
SATOA is one of the most peaceful tricycle unions in Abia, and from every available index, SATOA has never disobeyed government directives and does not nurture plans of doing so either.

When the directive came from the state government, SATOA complied with the directive succinctly. Along the line, we found out that Ekele Nwaohamuo, the commissioner for transport had bought buckets of paint and equally contracted painters he designated to be painting tricycles at a very high rate and then render accounts to him.

Our members were lodging series of complaints that the painting rate was too high. Majority of these tricycle operators you see are riding hire purchase, some of them couldn't afford the painting in such a prodigious and cumbersome way the commissioner made it to be.
Having received too many complaints from our members, I went to the Deputy Governor and told him of our intention to declare free painting so as to ease these tricycle operators that heavy burden. The Deputy Governor also precipitated his kind approval to that effect.

We kick-started the painting of tricycles in Aba for free,and all the tricycle operators within Aba axis were so excited to the extent of leading one million match in solidarity; they appreciated the governor and reinstated their readiness to support the government in combating crimes in Aba.

Consequent to this, Mr. Nwaohamuo woke up suddenly and discovered that nobody was patronizing him any longer; because no sane person would consciously allow himself to be duped by a greedy man, so he started wangling his way to self annihilation without even realizing it because of greed.

Mr. Nwaohamuo has been going from one radio station to the other, saying that the colour  we painted is no longer Abia colour that it is army colour; encouraging soldiers to deal with tricycle operators, I mean innocent Abians because they did not patronize him.
How on earth would a commissioner  who was appointed to serve the masses instead of doing his job has resorted to disgracing the office he is occupying?

The question is whether Mr. Nwaohamuo was appointed to be a painter or a commissioner for transportation?
   If Nwaohamuo is not fit to man the affairs of his present ministry, he should couch an application for change of portfolio from the present to commissioner for painting, what he can't do is juggling in-between.

It is so sad that since Mr. Ekele Nwaohamuo assumed office as commissioner for transportation, he has caused more harm than good. He has divided more than he has been able to unite, and this could be traced down to his greed, self-centeredness and immoderate desire for wealth amassment, but he forgot that Okezie Ikpeazu PhD is a man of due process, you can't be greedy and succeed under him.
