Battle for Abia <\/a>North: \u201cWeeping Men Cannot Stop Change\u201d \u2013 Team Bourdex Replies OUK\u2019s Allies<\/p>\n

\n

Team Bourdex has fired a sharp rebuttal at Orji Uzor Kalu\u2019s allies, dismissing their defense of OUK as the \u201clamentation of weeping men.\u201d The statement insists Abia <\/a>North deserves fresh leadership in 2027.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Umuahia, Abia <\/a>State<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 The political tempo in Abia <\/a>North is rising sharply as 2027 draws near, with fresh verbal missiles exchanged between camps loyal to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK)<\/a> and political heavyweight Chief Ogba Onuoha (Bourdex).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In a fiery rebuttal titled \u201cA Weeping Man\u2019s Lament\u201d, Hon. Prince Nmaju Uduka Nmaju, Media Head of Team Bourdex, dismissed the recent open letter by Hon. Chief Emenike Okorie (Omenma) as nothing more than \u201cthe cries of a drowning man terrified of change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Omenma, who parades himself as \u201cCoordinator of Grassroots Leaders,\u201d had earlier defended Orji Uzor Kalu\u2019s political dominance while attacking Bourdex. But Prince Nmaju Uduka hit back, accusing him of being nothing more than a \u201cmegaphone for OUK\u2019s propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than engage issues of development, vision, and leadership capacity, Omenma resorts to insults, name-calling, and fabricated tales \u2014 the last refuge of men who know their cause is lost,\u201d Uduka wrote.<\/p>\n

He went further to question Orji Uzor Kalu\u2019s record, pointing out that Abia <\/a>North still lags behind in infrastructure, education, and healthcare despite decades of Kalu\u2019s political dominance.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIf OUK\u2019s performance is as golden as his praise-singers claim, why does Abia <\/a>North remain underdeveloped while other zones have moved forward?\u201d he queried.<\/p>\n

On Bourdex, Prince Nmaju insisted that the business mogul and philanthropist does not need to \u201cride on anyone\u2019s back\u201d to contest in 2027. He cited his records in business success, community development, and philanthropy, while describing his call for voter registration as a patriotic reminder that \u201cpower belongs to the people, not to dynasties.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rebuttal concluded on a bold note, declaring that Abia <\/a>North is ready for fresh leadership and that no amount of propaganda can stop the collective will of the people in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo let the weeping men continue to cry. But history has shown that when the people are ready, change is unstoppable. Abia <\/a>North will speak loudly in 2027,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

With both camps sharpening their rhetoric, analysts believe Abia <\/a>North will be one of the most fiercely contested battlegrounds in the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n
