**News Fallout: Controversy Erupts Over Recent Appointments by Honourable Ojema**

Ochochi news:

In a rapidly unfolding controversy, constituents of Agatu have expressed their outrage over the recent appointment letters allocated by Honourable Ojema. Criticism has been spearheaded by community member Ali Aboh, who took to social media to voice his discontent, labeling the appointments as biased and nepotistic, especially for someone he describes as an “ordained man of God.”

 

Aboh’s post highlights the significant inequity in job allocation within Agatu, a constituency that encompasses 78 communities, 10 council wards, and three zones. He pointed out that out of 29 federal job opportunities available to the Constituency, a disproportionate 19 slots were awarded to Agatu, raising suspicions of favoritism.

 

Furthermore, Aboh revealed that, of the 12 names he has obtained from the 19 appointments, a staggering nine are from Obagaji, suggesting that Honourable Ojema has favored his own community, family members and friends. He implies that those who supported Ojema during his political campaign have been unjustly rewarded with government positions, while residents from other communities in Agatu feel overlooked and forgotten.

 

“Those who laboured for him, he made them aides. Those who gist with him, he made them workers of the federal government,” Aboh lamented in a scathing critique, branding the situation as a betrayal of the broader interests of Agatu’s diverse population.

 

He concluded his post with a message to the constituents, urging them to see the transparent inequalities at play and questioning whether they would accept this treatment as mere political maneuvering. “For una mind una think say we no get sense?” Aboh asked rhetorically, hinting at the deep-rooted frustrations among the community members.

 

As the discourse continues to evolve, the fallout from these appointments could have lasting impacts on political dynamics in Agatu, with constituents rallying for more accountability and equitable representation from their elected officials.
