High Chief Patrick Uchenna Raises Alarm On The Glaring Failure of Abia APC in Honouring One of its Founding Father (High Chief Ikechi Emenike)
Happy Easter APC Family Abia State!
Subject: Celebration of The Resurrection of Christ, And The Imperative of Honoring High Chief Ikechi Emenike: A Call for Justice, Gratitude, Strategic Leadership, Resurrection of APC in Abia
It is with deep concern and an unwavering sense of loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State that I, High Chief Patrick Uchenna (Pat-Urchman) Dike Ohuhu, write to address a matter of utmost importance—the persistent and glaring failure of the APC leadership to duly honor one of its founding fathers and foremost pillars in Abia State, High Chief Ikechi Emenike.
High Chief Ikechi Emenike is not just a name; he is a legacy in motion. As clearly outlined in his distinguished profile, he is a visionary economist, seasoned politician, international publisher, and a passionate advocate for human capital development. More so, he is one of the foundational architects of the APC in Nigeria—an individual who has invested his time, strength, prayers, resources, and influence in laying the groundwork for the party’s growth across the nation, particularly in Abia State.
Despite contesting for the gubernatorial seat under the APC in the last election and making monumental sacrifices for the party, the silence of the APC leadership in rewarding his commitment with a commensurate executive appointment is not only unjust—it is politically self-destructive.
The Scripture tells us in 1 Timothy 5:17, “Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.” High Chief Emenike has labored—not just in words but in action, financing, strategy, and consistent political vision. To neglect to honor such a man is to turn a blind eye to the very principles upon which enduring institutions are built: gratitude, recognition, and reward.
Furthermore, Romans 13:7 instructs: “Give to everyone what you owe them… if honor, then honor.” This is not just a spiritual principle—it is a strategic necessity. A political house that fails to honor its foundation risks crumbling under its own weight. APC in Abia State stands at the edge of such a cliff.
Let it be clearly stated: the continued sidelining of High Chief Ikechi Emenike is a disservice not only to the man himself but to the thousands of his supporters and stakeholders across Abia State who have given their unwavering support to the party under his leadership. The pulse of the people is loud and clear—honor must be given where it is due.
We cannot afford to bury the influence of a man who, by every measure, is the grandfather of APC in Abia State. Ignoring him is equivalent to suffocating the very life of the party in the region. The coming 2027 election looms large, and let it be known that no political ambition within APC Abia State will succeed unless the foundational issue of honor is addressed. As our people wisely say, “Erefu otu, erema ozo”—until we resolve this, nothing else can move forward.
Therefore, I call on all elected APC representatives in the Senate and House of Representatives from Abia State, and all relevant electoral officers and party leaders, to rise to this responsibility. Let them do the needful—not just for High Chief Ikechi Emenike, but for the survival and prosperity of APC in our beloved Abia State.
Let us not allow history to record that we failed to honor the man who held the light when others chose to walk away. Let us not be the ones who ignored the trumpet of warning. Let us act. Let us honor him—or prepare to witness the gradual erosion of APC in Abia State.
He must be honored—because until he is honored, nothing works.
Happy Easter Celebration All!
Respectfully,
High Chief Patrick Uchenna (Pat-Urchman) Dike Ohuhu
Stakeholder, APC Abia State.
