Nothing is indeed as bad as a failure at any given time, especially in an enterprise that portrays green lights from all index boxes and permutations during the planning stages. Hon Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu index boxes were thicked positives from all the angles of political endeavor especially as it relates to quality representation, physical infrastructural achievements, and human capital development and empowerment.

The last concluded National Assembly election was a tsunami of some sort that swept the good, the bad, and ugly incumbents and throned candidates who never had imagined victory at the polls and in most cases, were ill-prepared to take over the mantle of leadership at the National Assembly level.

Hon Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu in the real sense of the situation at that time couldn't have done much to reclaim her mandate/achieve success during the voting period because it was during the time of voting and counting of votes particularly that it dawned on her and her ardent proponents that nothing could be done to save her from the already bad situation. After all, the Obidient wind was sweeping through the polling units across the Southeast geopolitical zone of the country which was ably aided by the conspiracy of silence to Lynda's candidature and the covert support for Peter Obi's Labor Party/candidacy masterminded by the top echelons of the churches in the realm of Christianity.

However, despite the Obidient-induced loss by Hon Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu some of her foot soldiers, members of her kitchen cabinet cum trusted aids, and what have you were so lackadaisical and lackluster during and immediately after the election leaving the courteous woman in a state of quandary and fixated. However, woe betides the courtiers of Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu and members of her kitchen cabinet, etc who took the opportunity of Obidient tsunami to defraud the woman whose only offense was her kindness to humanity, the people around her, and especially the electorates who were brainwashed to vote against her to justify the Obidient cause.

Hon Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu will rise again. Nothing happens for nothing. Lessons have been learned from her defeat at the polls and subsequent betrayals. Once bitten twice shy. Get-up-and-go Hon Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu. God knows the best. Amen.
