Many things have continued to unfold following the defection of Governor David Nweze Umahi from the Peoples Democractic Party, PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC at the centre.
The new political movement in the state is getting more interested but with nothing good or bad hidden by the tongues of the supporters of APC and PDP in Ebonyi.
No political iroko is spared in the power fight for supremacy and control of the state against 2023 polls.
The matter on ground now is that Senator Joseph Obinna Ogba, representing the good people of Ebonyi Central Senatorial District is alledgedly parading a fake certificate, NATIONAL PANEL gathered.
According to the Nigerian News Direct, a Chieftain of APC in Ebonyi State, Barr. Eni Uduma Chima has described the WAEC Certificate being paraded by Senator Obinna Ogba as product of examination malpractice and impersonation as the passport photographs on the two Ordinary Level Results are those of two different persons .
Chief Eni revealed that Ogba’s attempt to replace the mercenary’s passport photographs embossed on the spurious certificates with his own, with the connivance of Mr. Stephen Ali, a WAEC official failed and led to the dismissal of Mr. Ali from West African Examination Council.
The APC Chieftain made this known in a press statement titled: “Further musing on Senator Sergeant Joseph Obinna Ogba on his unwarranted insults and false accusation against the Ebonyi state Governor”, which he signed and made available to newsmen.
He maintained that Ogbas basic qualification of Ordinary Level West African Examination Certificate is questionable and has once been questioned by the Stakeholders of Ebonyi Central Senatorial District in 2019.
He stated that the issue of Ogba’s O’level Results will remain an albatross which may prove fatal to his far-fetched fantasy of attaining a gubernatorial position.
He reminded Ogba that certificate of return is not an academic qualification and that his argument that he is marrying an associate Professor does not put to rest the contest on his academic qualification.
“That his basic qualification of Ordinary Level West African Examination Certificate is questionable and in fact has once been questioned by the Stakeholders of Ebonyi Central Senatorial District in 2019.
“After verification of the Results upon application to the West African Examination Council, the Council unequivocally confirmed that the WAEC Results of 1989 and 1990 being paraded by Joseph Obinna Ogba as his are products of examination malpractice, impersonation and criminality as the passport photographs on the two Ordinary Level Results are those of two different persons and not that of Candidate Joseph Obinna Ogba.
Ogba’s attempt to replace the mercenary’s passport photographs embossed on the spurious certificates with his (Ogba’s) own, with the connivance of Mr. Stephen Ali, a WAEC official failed and led to the dismissal of Mr. Ali from West African Examination Council.
“The issue of Ogba’s O’level Results being the voice of Jacob and the hand of Esau is a knowledge in the public domain and will remain an albatross which may prove fatal to his far-fetched fantasy of attaining a gubernatorial position.
“Sergeant Ogba and his proxy cited with relish his attainment of the position of Local Government Chairman during the military era and mentioned that Ogba is married to an Associate Professor.
“ Nothing can be more fallacious and intellectually hollow than these arguments. If sound academic qualifications is canvassed as an issue, how is it connected with Ogba’s fifteen (15) months tenure as Council Chairman?
“ Is a Certificate of Returns an academic qualification? Again, let me ask this dimwit of an Ogba man and his paid penman the point they want to make by arguing that Ogba is married to an Associate Professor who is a refined lecturer, does that put to rest any contest about Ogba’s academic qualifications? Or is the author insinuating that the wife’s qualifications have been sexually transmitted to Ogba?
“What incompetence will make this author to drag Ogba’s wife into our thing? I refuse to be part of this please. If I must say something about Ogba’s wife who is said to be a lecturer, it will be simple: remove the speck in your eyes first by organising evening classes for Sergeant Ogba to improve his academic life, before removing the speck in your students’ eyes, after all, charity they say begins at home.
“I will commence a legal proceeding to throw Sergeant Ogba out of the Senate for using certificate issued for Ordinary Level WAEC examination not written by him. I talk substance, I am a serious person, I am different from the others as alcohol is different from water, I have got kicks. I dare Ogba to dare me now. The die is cast” , he stated.
