On the 1st of June, 2021 when “unknown “arsonists” as the vanguard newspaper described them razzed down the Amangwu, Ohafia country home of the Ohafia born legal practisioner and current deputy Chief of Staff, political analyst and social commentators turned their attention to the usually serene community and struggled albeit in vain to give a comprehensive overview of the man in the middle of the storm.
While some described Barr. Olugu as an extablished man with exquisite taste, others described him as a party loyalist and veteran politician who was working with the state government to see to the extermination of a group already proscribed by the federal government. But amid their modest attempt, what Ishi bu mba is and represents cannot be described in one word. A seasoned humanist and community developer whom despite his many accomplishment has continued to fraternize with commoners and has prioritized their welfare.
Prior and after his stinct as the President General of Amangwu Ohafia development Union, Barr. Olugu was at the center of several government and non-governmental intervention in the community which was aimed at giving the developing community a facelift amongst numerous humanitarian and philanthropist gestures. Politically, Barr. Olugu remains one of the brightest minds whose scintillating commitment and resourcefulness ensured that the PDP has remained a household party in Ohafia LGA, having tallied and rallied to grow and sustain the party alongside his late ally and leader; Chief Ukpai Agwu Ukpai. The veteran politician has paid his dues and exhibited the highest level of perseverance, diligence and commitment towards the People’s Democratic Party even at intervals when many felt that it has become unfruitful doing so.
The firm believe and affirmation that he was the most suited person to occupy the sensitive office of the deputy Chief of Staff cannot be over emphasized, as we head into yet another ‘facinating’ promising electioneering, the PDP hopes to yet again, unveal, and unleash a 21st century political phenomenon in Barr. Olugu Kalu Ugba whom despite years of productive philanthropist and political engagements, has remained a puzzle yet unmasked.
