A Call to Service – Text of an Address by Chief Hon. (Barr.) Cyriacus Sunday Umeha – Member-Elect Ezeagu/Udi Federal Constituency, Enugu State.

My good people of Ezeagu/Udi Federal Constituency; on Wednesday 8th March 2023, I officially received the Certificate of Return as Member-Elect to represent our Constituency in what would be the 10th National Assembly.
It was the culmination of the popular mandate you bestowed on me, on the 25th of February 2023 when you trooped out en masse to vote for me, and our great party - #LabourParty and in the process demonstrated your belief in our Legislative Agenda...
You have sat and watched me suffer all this @ExpertWitness_ aka @DrHorsford for 8 fuckin solid years.
Was this #dogwalker a #whitewoman by any chance?
Because for the life of me, I do not get how all can ignore what happened to #myson #AmbroseGGBall in 8 solid years unless it was @MPSHaringey posting up all the wrong information, wrong days and dates,
the wrong locations, wrong description of clothing , the wrong Fox pub, all different times of the night, leaving out the vital information leading up to during and after my son went @missingpeople, did not response for 56 hours after all the calls myself and others had made over
The Spying Game
The #LabourFiles reveal the depth of internal warfare and dirty tricks that were used by the party instead of being good politicians who are representing the needs of people.
A smear campaign from within Labour removed Corbyn as leader.

Even the mildest forms of dissent are not allowed under Starmer, an incident in London in 2021 shows how he deals with dissent.
The @InsideCroydon news site was illegally hacked and details of whistleblowers were publicly leaked.

Watched Starmer’s speech in Liverpool and I’m glad I did. First, this is the best speech I’ve heard him give as leader. The dullard of last year is gone, the ambition of his leadership campaign back. Lots to disagree with, of course; but the tonality is what matters. #LabourParty
It’s important to watch the pivot he’s making now. He’s shown himself to be an epic political conman in the past, and now that Starmer is back. The trick with three paper cups he played on the Labour membership—where’s the real Starmer?—he’s now attempting to play on the country.
And so we are again being promised a watered-down version of some of the elements of the economic transformation programme we need: public ownership, industrial strategy, investment in public services. A version of the siren song of his leadership campaign.

Donald Duke, Ibrahim Dankwambo, former Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke and others.
Reactions have been trailing the laughing photo of the politicians, with many speculating about their plans and the reason for the meeting.

Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’(as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, Governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas. He came to deliver a get well message
from Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot.
Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence requested to freshen up.

He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and he said no. Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired.

MBAKA, WHY?
Father Mbaka "placed a curse" on Chimaroke Nnamani the governor of Enugu state. Declaring that "If I be a man of God" Chimaroke Nnamani won't win a second term in office.
Needless to say, Nnamani completed his second term very very well and is presently a senator

The problem with charlatans and aspiring demagogues like Mbaka is that they do not like to be humiliated or embarrassed and they are unforgiving of persons who challenge them. Father Mbaka is a psychopath who thinks himself to be God.

and the priest at the his adoration ground in 2018/2019. Fr. Mbaka used such phrases like "Mbaka's alter" as he tried desperately to extort Mr. Obi unsuccessfully.

The report by @KitKlarenberg displays secret communications between #PaulMason and various intelligence community wonks, in a coordinated effort to smear indy media, and 'take down the left' - Corbynites especially. Because apparently, 'anti-imperialism' is BAD. 🤷🏻♂️🤡

Mixing deplatforming, "full nuclear legal" (we've had a taste of that from the #LabourParty), and various other abusive and dehumanising techniques, this 'intel contractor' was happily working with #PaulMason and others to put leftists at risk.

Dear @PeterObi ,
Thank you once again for giving us a third option thereby saving us from having to choose between two evil. Sir,there is a movie I love so much called Prisonbreak. I don't know if you have heard or watched the movie but there is a scene in Season four

where at the risk of getting caught,Alexander Mahone turned to Micheal Scofield and said; "Micheal, you have never gone a day in your life without having a plan,please don't start now". Alexander Mahone and Micheal Scofield for me are the two Movie Characters with the best minds.
Sir, I know how difficult it is to create wealth but you did it in both the Private and Public sector all before you became a governor at the age of 45. It is also not a secret that you love Education so with the little other details I know about you, you always come to mind

In 7 yrs, they managed only 10%. Meanwhile #Labour allowed for public land (inc. greenspace) to be gobbled up by private developers building thousands of overpriced shoeboxes.

At least 20 Labour cllrs have had shocking performance indicators in terms of their public engagement, number of members inquiries they've initiated, value of return on investment when "Special Responsibility" xpenses are considered + the number of committees/ boards they sit on.
One cllr has been such a no show in 4 years, her ward residents believed they didn't have a cllr. Granted she had a year off for maternity but her group clearly didn't fill in for her. Furthermore, her "Special Responsibility to Young people" has not been good value for money.

Firstly, there's no disagreement between us. Starmer has proven one of the most ingenuine politicians in our history. He has repeatedly rowed back on his leadership pledges & sentiments and proven untrustworthy in his words and actions as leader.

He has been a babe in the woods. Policy illiterate and not particularly interested in ideas. Electorally inept, taking the hand of his elders when he's lost and then caught in the headlights when the strategy handed to him doesn't work.

I have read this book, and I think everyone who is interested in the recent history of the Labour Party will find it rewarding. In particular, it is a valuable resource for tracing the development of the anti-Semitism controversy and allegations over the last 5-6 years. 1/6
The author's position is clear: he is solidly committed to putting the case for Chris Williamson. I should say at once that I have been very critical at times of Mr Williamson's approach, which has seemed a bit blundering. I think Mr Garratt is more forgiving than many. 2/6
But the book is by no means all about Mr Williamson; it takes on almost all the issues around alleged Labour Party anti-Semitism, and gives a valuable view of them which is not often seen outside left and Labour left circles. There is also much material... 3/6
At the exuberant 2017 @UKLabour conference I was privileged to attend a meeting addressed by @ruthserwotka & @cwknews discussing proposed changes to the 2004 Gender Recognition Act that would effectively erase women's & girl's limited & hard-won legal protections. /1

The mood of the meeting was in contrast to the rest of conference: the venue had to be kept secret until the last minute as other recent events where women had the temerity to meet with other women to discuss their political, legal & social rights had been harassed & attacked. /2
Not only that but this reactionary proposal from the Tory government, paralysed by the insurgent & radicalising #LabourParty under #JeremyCorbyn's leadership, was tacitly supported by large sections of the labour movement & many other public institutions. /3
Why did the British #LabourParty betray Native Britons to the madness of mass immigration, DIVERSITY & criminal grooming gangs, with local authorities & the police turning a blind eye for years to the sexual abuse of 1000s of vulnerable & under-age girls?
The Labour Party was founded, in 1900, to represent ordinary people, the working class, against exploitation by Britain's elites & capital, only to betray the entire country.
It is very important that we first recognise & then develop an understanding of this betrayal.

The Labour Party presents a classic example of good intentions paving the way to hell, which can only be understood in the context of academic (& thus general) ignorance regarding the nature of the state itself.
