A commentary received by CDA News Nigeria has challenged critics of former Abia Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to publish their own records in public office.
The writer named Dalington Nwaokeocha, Hon. Ginger Onwusibe and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe. He accused critics of making attacks on Ikpeazu “a full-time occupation,” and asked: “Which roads have you attracted?”
To make the case, the commentary lists 105 publicly reported projects and interventions associated with Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu from 2019 to 2026. It puts 70 in his first tenure, 2019 to 2023, and 35 in his second, 2023 to 2026.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the list covers road rehabilitation, including the Umuahia–Bende–Ohafia project, which the writer values at ₦12 billion. It also covers health centres, classroom renovations, solar boreholes, agricultural and poultry programmes, empowerment grants and Benjamin Kalu Foundation scholarships.
The writer cautions that the list is not an independently verified record of 105 completed projects. He says some are ongoing, some were facilitated through federal agencies, and some descriptions may overlap. CDA News Nigeria has not independently verified the claims.
“We are simply asking what you have done with the offices entrusted to you,” he wrote, declaring the “report card challenge” open.
The commentary does not include responses from those named. CDA News Nigeria will report any reply..
