A socio-political group, the Abia Patriotic Entrance, has launched a devastating assertion in opposition to David Ogba Onuoha Bourdex, the 73-year-old senatorial aspirant who lately sparked outrage by describing revered elders at an All Progressives Congress (APC) assembly as “mad individuals spewing incoherent nonsense.”
In a blistering press assertion, the group uncovered what it known as “the whole file of a determined political chameleon, a person of no character, with the stench of unanswered fraud allegations clinging to him like a second pores and skin.”
In response to the assertion issued by the group’s Public Relations Officer, Dr. Uche Ndukwe, essentially the most damning revelation about Bourdex is his transient stint as caretaker chairman of Ohafia Native Authorities—a place he didn’t win, however begged and lobbied for like a person clutching at relevance.
“Younger males of their 20s and 30s are successful elections, incomes mandates, representing their individuals. David Ogba Bourdex, at 73, has by no means gained something in his whole life besides the pity of those that appoint him. He needed to foyer desperately for a caretaker place that requires no votes—competing with males younger sufficient to be his grandchildren,” the assertion learn.
Even that caretaker tenure, the group famous, was a carnival of division, harassment, and allegations of fraud. The assertion quoted political analyst Hon. Ikechi Anya: “A person of means and age out of the blue experimenting with crude flattery resembles an grownup insisting on being fed with a bottle. It alerts nothing however desperation—and desperation in a 73-year-old will not be ambition. It Is delusion.”
Behind Bourdex’s fastidiously crafted façade of a “profitable businessman,” the group alleged, lies a labyrinth {of financial} scandal spanning many years. “Bourdex Telecom emerged throughout the chaotic liquidation of NITEL—a interval investigators have described as a feeding frenzy the place public belongings have been looted with impunity. Business insiders have lengthy whispered: how did he purchase telecom infrastructure value lots of of thousands and thousands? What was the true supply of his start-up capital? To at the present time, Bourdex has solely answered with silence.”
The group additional alleged that banking sources affirm Bourdex’s accounts confirmed huge, unexplained inflows throughout the late Nineties and early 2000s—transactions that bore no relation to his declared enterprise actions. “When your {bank} statements scream louder than your explanations, cheap individuals draw just one conclusion.”
The assertion additionally dredged up Bourdex’s transient tenure as appointed caretaker chairman of Ohafia Native Authorities, alleging {financial} impropriety. “Throughout his tenure, contracts have been awarded to Bourdex-linked firms like confetti at a marriage. A number of sources affirm that funds allotted for group tasks allegedly vanished into skinny air—with both substandard execution or no execution in any respect. A civil servant who dared to query these shady transactions was allegedly bodily assaulted by Bourdex and threatened to be ‘disappeared’ if he didn’t study to maintain quiet. That is the person who desires to make legal guidelines for Abia North?”
Maybe essentially the most embarrassing part of the assertion detailed Bourdex’s historical past of groveling earlier than the very leaders he now assaults with the fury of a scorned beggar.
“The identical Bourdex who now obsessively assaults Senator Orji Uzor Kalu was as soon as his most vocal praise-singer, using on the coattails of political constructions Kalu constructed throughout Abia State. At the moment, he calls Kalu a ‘dying masquerade.’ Yesterday, he was dancing bare to the masquerade’s music.”
On former Governor T. A. Orji and Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, the group famous that in August 2025, Bourdex viciously attacked their administrations as “clueless within the artwork of governance.” But this is similar Bourdex who, in response to the group, got here crying to those former governors when his funds dried up and benefited from their administrations by proxies appointed to key positions. He and his associates collected salaries, ate from the federal government’s desk, and smiled for images—earlier than turning round to chew the very fingers that fed them.
“This isn’t management. That is political prostitution of the best order—promoting loyalty to the best bidder, then attacking former shoppers to impress new ones. At the moment he’s licking the boots of Governor Alex Otti with the keenness of a hungry canine. Tomorrow, when a brand new authorities comes into energy, he’ll name Otti mad and dance to a brand new grasp’s tune. At 73, he has no ideology, no ideas, no disgrace—solely an empty abdomen barking for relevance.”
The group concluded by advising Ogba to show a brand new leaf, noting that at his age, constructing a legacy ought to matter greater than chasing contracts and appointments. “A person who has spent 73 years on earth and has nothing to indicate however a path of unanswered questions and political U-turns ought to contemplate retirement, not the Senate.”
Efforts to achieve Mr. David Ogba Bourdex for his response to the allegations contained within the assertion proved abortive as of press time. Repeated calls to his recognized phone line rang out unanswered, whereas a textual content message despatched to his quantity had not been replied to.
We are going to proceed to observe developments and publish any response from the aspirant ought to it come.
Political analysts who spoke to our correspondent described the assertion as a political obituary, noting that at 73, with zero electoral victories, a mountain of unanswered questions, and a mouth that can’t cease insulting the very individuals he must vote for him, Bourdex’s senatorial ambition is not only delusion—it’s a public nuisance.
