However, in a backward community like Isu where he hails from, this claims of being the richest Ebonyi man, may make much sense. Just as the controversy generated by his claims were gathering momentum, information filtered in that he was going to contest for house of representative to represent OHANIVO federal constituency, tongues began to wag as to wether he was going to slug it out with his kinsman, Hon. Linus Okorie who is presently a two term member of house of representative, but governor David Umahi   had on several occasion announced the endorsement of Hon.
