Your Excellency,Permit me to go biblical in this letter and bring the account of the parable of the sower.
The Parable of the Sower (also known as the Parable of the Four Soils) is found in Matthew 13:3-9; Mark 4:2-9; and Luke 8:4-8. After presenting this parable to the multitude, Jesus interprets it for His disciples in Matthew 13:18-23; Mark 4:13-20; and Luke 8:11-15.
The Parable of the Sower concerns a sower who scatters seed, which falls on four different types of ground. The hard ground “by the way side” prevents the seed from sprouting at all, and the seed becomes nothing more than bird food. The stony ground provides enough soil for the seeds to germinate and begin to grow, but because there is “no deepness of earth,” the plants do not take root and are soon withered in the sun. The thorny ground allows the seed to grow, but the competing thorns choke the life out of the beneficial plants. The good ground receives the seed and produces much fruit.
Jesus’ explanation of the Parable of the Sower highlights four different responses to the gospel. The seed is “the word of the kingdom.” The hard ground represents someone who is hardened by sin; he hears but does not understand the Word, and Satan plucks the message away, keeping the heart dull and preventing the Word from making an impression. The stony ground pictures a man who professes delight with the Word; however, his heart is not changed, and when trouble arises, his so-called faith quickly disappears. The thorny ground depicts one who seems to receive the Word, but whose heart is full of riches, pleasures, and lusts; the things of this world take his time and attention away from the Word, and he ends up having no time for it. The good ground portrays the one who hears, understands, and receives the Word—and then allows the Word to accomplish its result in his life. The man represented by the “good ground” is the only one of the four who is truly saved, because salvation’s proof is fruit (Matthew 3:7-8; 7:15-20).
To summarize the point of the Parable of the Sower: “A man’s reception of God’s Word is determined by the condition of his heart.”
Sir Uche hukwu Ogah,you are a man whose philanthropy holds no bounds as you have shown in all your actions. I summerised the Parable above because a lot has happened,hearts has been broken,souls are crying,your fans are confused due to your continues silent,Abians are left on the roundabout of confusion as you are yet to direct your fans on way forward.
On AUG.16 2014 THE SUN NEWSPAPERS published an Interview with Chief Empire Kalu,a Nigerian former Ambassador and a stalwart of the PDP in Abia state,the title of that Interview was “Why Abians Needs Uche Ogah” By Empire Kalu.
Quoting one among the excerpts from the interview”
What if your candidate loses out in the primaries, what will you do? Will you join him if he defects to another party? THE SUN STAFF
Is it not a contest? If I’m supporting aspirant A or B aspirant in a free and fair election and the people decide it’s him then we are through but if the people decide otherwise then we will follow what the people said . But I think Uche Ogah who is aspiring for the governorship of Abia State, is the star of the moment. Chief Empire Kalu.
As a student of history and a political analyst,i must admit that such reply really shows the real agenda in the mind of Chief Empire Kalu who Last Month January during the Abia PDP Gubernatorial flag-off at the Umuahia Township stadium,without seeking consultations from you declared ABIA REJOICE campaign team Dismantled in support of the PDP candidate in Abia state Dr.Okezie Ikpeazu. That declarations your excellency broke my heart and that of many other Abians who has been with and around your ambition to take over from Chief.Ochendo who in few months will be a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Sir, on 8th of December,the Returning officer and chairman of Abia state election Panel Dr.Mrs Angela Mba why announcing the outcome of the primaries declared you got 103 Votes as againts Okezie Ikpeazu who polled 487 Votes according to the results released. After the announcement you declared you will come up with a statement after 7days,Many of your aides cried bitterly as they posted that they were manhandled by the Army in Abia state.
Let me start by saying that your campaign Publicity Commitee did not do any Job for your ,as a journalist we maintain that the media remains the fourth estate of the realm,what the media gives the masses is what the masses takes. I am not writting to stain anybody but i write because i know the length i went to contribut my quota in the way i can towards your ambition on the social media to an extent i receive threats from political enemies. First there were no live update from your media commitee on Dec.8th 2014 when they were directed to go to Ibeku High School that it was the venue of the primaries why Delegates were seated at the Umuahia Township Stadium including my very self.
I praise your excellency for not listening to those who are not yet matured in Politics asking you to DEFECTS to another political party,had you listened it would have marked the end of your political carrier. As an active youth in the polity of Abia state, i can authoritatively tell you that had it been you came out as Independent candidate,the road would have been rough,dark and very destructive.
Your Excellency history always repeat itself,dont give up on your dreams. All hope is not lost. In 2007,The present River statet Governor almost lost hope when he was rigged out at the state PDP primary election that produce Barr.Celestine Omehia. Amaechi was even asked to bring the names of people who can be appointed commisioners in the state as a compensation for his Loss,But you know what on October 27 2007,Nigerians Supreme Court restored his mandate after five months Celestine Omehia held the state in wait for Amaechi.
I will aslo want to use this medium to remind you in this letter because i know you will read it that your should advice your aides to desist from any form of Media propaganda against the Abia state Government because Chief.Orji remains a major player as far as PDP is concerned in South East currently and he is going to the upper chamber of the National Assembly in few months.
Destiny can be delayed but never be denied,Political power is only acquired through radical strategy and integrity lobby. When i learnt you donated 5million to the PDP in Abia state on the support of President Goodlcuk Jonathan,i said in my heart that you are on course. But Sir, your fans are on the desert of confusion,speak to them because your continue silence will portray you are gone out of the course.
I have details of the Originating summons you filled at the Law court and that of Barr.Friday Nwosu spraying the court to restore your mandate of 8th December. But why the proceedings tarries speak to your people for they await your voice,if am not mistaken about 50percent of your supporters have concluded plans to Vote the APGA candidate in Abia state due to no right direction from the source to its audience.
My Love for you as a person is devoid of personal gain, even before you declared your intention to run for Abia Guber,PUO was on standby in support of the project. It is only out of the ignorance of the heart,that the mouth will utter asinine innanities. Those who advice you on Leaving PDP are your bussiness and Political Enemies.
Your Good fans are awaiting the arrival of the messiah…..
Yours Faithfully,
Promise Uzoma Okoro
