So far so good, Senator Okey Ezea of Enugu North Senatorial zone is not disappointing his constituents in his representation. He is living up to expectations with his usual temperamental, violent and confrontational attitude and approach to issues. They are not new.

From his disdainful and ignominious response to the constituents' interrogation of his fraudulent handling of the palliative rice given to him alongside his colleagues to share to their constituents to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal to his recent call for violence in the scheduled February 3 Udenu/ Igbo Eze North Federal Constituency rerun, one can say that Senator Ezea is indeed on top his constitutional responsibility as Senator representating Enugu North Senatorial zone by also inciting the people of Udenu/ Igbo Eze North Federal Constituency against each over the Feb.3 rerun.

Just like the way he incited the people of Nsukka for a war against Nkanu people during the governorship election, which Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah of PDP later won to his shock and disappointment, it is quite unfortunate and worrisome that Senator Ezea has refused to grow in maturity, reasonings, actions and utterances, despite being above 50 years and a Senator.

Unfortunately, for Senator Ezea and his constituents, it is difficult  for him to learn how to use left hand in old age. This was the same Senator Ezea, who goofed and disgraced himself on the floor of the Senate by wrongly questioning the choice of Senator Osita Ngwu as Senate Minority Chief Whip, before he was shouted down.

The people of Enugu North Senatorial zone will forever regret conspiratorially voting for a violent and temperamental to represent them in the Senate. This is because Senator Ezea's representation will surely be characterised with his instigated violence, divisiveness, antagonism, narcissism and crisis in the zone that will be to his personal advantage and at the detriment of his constituents.

On the scheduled February 3 rerun in Udenu/ Igbo Eze North Federal Constituency, Senator Ezea, should have known that PDP is the party to beat as his Labour Party is already going into extinction not only in Enugu North Senatorial zone, but across the country.
