MATTEW NWAGWU,WHY NOT RETIRE FROM ACTIVE SERVICE? AMB MATTEW NWANGWU, THE SENATOR REPRESENTING IMO NORTH (OKIGWE ZONE) IN THE RED CHAMBER OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY IS ONE OF THE LUCKIEST NIGERIAN PEOPLE. HIS PROFILE AS A NIGERIAN WHO SERVED AND IS STILL SERVING HIS FATHER LAND IS AMAZING. AMB NWAGWU, FROM THE INFORMATION I GATHERED REACHED HIS PEAK WHILE A CIVIL SERVANT. I HEARD HE RETIRED FROM THE CIVIL SERVICE AS PERMANENT SECRETARY IN THE FEDERAL CIVIL SERVICE, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST. FROM THERE, HE DID OTHER LEGITIMATE BUSINESSES AND LATTER BECAME NIGERIAS AMBASSADOR TO SOME FOREIGN COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. AMBASSADOR NWAGWU WAS STILL A SERVING AMBASSADOR WHEN HE WON ELECTION AS A SENATOR IN A SURPRISING WAY. NWAGWUS VICTORY BOTH IN THE PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTIONS WERE A MIRACLE, BECAUSE HE WAS HARDLY IN THE RACE. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN NWAGWUS REIGN AS A SENATOR OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA IS BETTER LEFT IN THE HANDS OF GOD. HAS OKIGWE ZONE FELT BETTER SINCE 2011?.ARE THERE EFFECTIVE AND RESULT ORIENTED REPRESENTATION FROM HIM?. IS OKIGWE ZONES NAME REGULARLY HEARD ON THE FLOOR OF THE RED CHAMBER? THESE ARE QUESTIONS ONLY AMB NWAGWU AND THE PEOPLE OF OKIGWE ZONE CAN ANSWER. THE ESSENCE OF THIS PIECE IS TO STATE THE OBVIOUS AND NOT TO SCORE ANY CHEAP POINT. HONESTLY SPEAKING, THE LAST TIME I SAW AMBASSADOR NWAGWU AT THE PDP SECRETARIAT IN OWERRI WHEN HE CAME TO PICK HIS FORM FOR REELECTION SUGGESTS THAT HE IS WEAK AND AGE IS NO LONGER ON HIS SIDE. HE WAS NOT LOOKING HEALTHY AND VIBRANT AS A SERVANT LEADER SHOULD LOOK. HIS LOOK ON THAT DAY DOES NOT PORTRAY A PERSON WHO CAN BEAR WITH THE DAUNTING CHALLENGES THE OFFICE HE SEEKS AGAIN REQUIRES. APART FROM BEING A SEPTUGENERIAN, AMB NWAGWU DOES NOT POSSESS ANY LONGER THE NEEDED ENERGY, ZEAL AND COURAGE TO MAKE A GOOD SENATOR. WHAT THE SENATOR NEEDS NOW IS REST, I MEAN THE REST HIS SYSTEM DESERVES. HE SHOULD NOT STRESS HIMSELF THE MORE. U HAVE REACHED YOUR PEAK AND POSTERITY MUST COUNT YOU AS ONE OF THE MOST BLESSED AND LUCKIEST NIGERIANS. WHAT I EXPECT HIM TO DO NOW IS TO BOW OUT WHILE THE OVATION IS STILL HIGH. NWAGWU SHOULD DEPICT THE CHARACTER OF A STATESMAN, AND THINK ABOUT OKIGWE AND NOT HIMSELF. THE SENATORIAL DISTRICT YEARNS FOR A CHANGE, POSITIVE ONE FOR THAT MATTER. IT IS TIME FOR PARADIGM SHIFT IN REPRESENTATION IN OKIGWE ZONE AND I PRAY THE SENATOR UNDERSTANDS AND STEPS ASIDE NOW.
