COL AUSTIN AKOBUNDU(Rtd) - On the Road to The Red Chambers


You can't stop and idea whose time has come as Victor Hugo opined. Not even a coalition of opposition can achieve this. That is indeed the case of the continued momentum gathering walk of Col. Akobundu. Imperious, Strategic, Intimidating, Consistent, Uncompromising, Calculated, Progressive and Productive for want of superlatives.

Before now, the former Minister had been lightly considered by detractors and critics. Much had been fabricated to discredit his public image in an attempt to sabotage his candidacy. But like the introducing paragry had stated, nothing can oppose the concluded destiny of a divine will.


From LGA to LGA, Group to Group, Platform to Platform, he has maintained a continued rise. For the first time, people have come to see the sincerity and the transparency in his personality. Against the negatively painted image of an unapproachable autocrat, Col Austin Akobundu has disproved such insinuations as he has engaged all categories of persons irrespective of status.


Recently, Youth group in the name of CAYSUN flagged off a special support for his candidacy while he also featured prominently at the International Youth Day where as the Chairman of the occasion, he was seen, interacting with Abia Youths at all levels, admonishing them as well as forming partnership with them for the purpose of improved youth participation in governance and industry. 




His recognition and award of a Chieftaincy title as APA-UKWU OHUHU by the OHUHU Council of Traditional Rulers highlights another side of his personality and the across-boarder capacity of the previously awarded Dike ako la-mba by the Traditional Rulers Council of his homeland - Ikwuano. Among the elite, he stands head and shoulders above many. Truly a leader whose voice can be heard even in the large ocean of many great personalities.

Like him or hate him, it doesn't change the obvious sagacity that comes with his imperial disposition coupled with his inherent administrative brilliance, it will be difficult to match the candidacy of the retired but not tired Colonel. As history beckons to be made, we are privileged to witness the charismatic exponent of this unraveling ingenuity. A soft but powerful speaker. A man of few words but with great impact.


This march, this rise, is indeed head lining, history making, record breaking, pace setting and path finding. This piece therefore serves as a clarion call for naysayers and habitual doubters that a chance to join this imperious march on the road to the red chambers is now. Take the initiative today. This epic march has history unveiling. Wouldn't you rather walk with us? 


Support Col Austin Akobundu for Senate, Abia Central Senatorial Zone.
