The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) has frowned at what
it described as a worrisome media war among
political leaders in Igboland.
The OYC specifically called on the spokesman of All
Progressives Congress in the South East Chief Osita Okechukwu to sheath his
sword against Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.
In a statement signed by the chairman of states chairmen,
Mazi Alex Okemiri, the group said: “Ordinarily, we would have kept mum over the
issue, but we cannot continue to keep silent, because we have warned several
times that no Igbo political leader should openly attack another Igbo political
leader in the print or the electronic media again.
“Despite our appeal, we are shocked that Chief Osita
Okechukwu has not relented on his attacks on Governor Okorocha . He has
forgotten that Owelle Okorocha has done much to ensure that Ndigbo are
politically relevant today. But for his
doggedness, Ndigbo would have completely lost out in the present political
calculation in Nigeria. It is not in
doubt that Owelle Rochas Okorocha is today the foremost Igbo political leader.
“We shall no longer
tolerate this kind of pull-him-down syndrome from self styled Igbo political
champions who take every opportunity to ridicule real and genuine Igbo
political leaders like Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha.
The group appealed to the people of Abia State to exercise
patience with the state governor over the state of the roads in the state.
“We also want to appeal to the good people of Abia State to
have patience with Governor Ikpeazu over the state of roads in Aba, obingwa and
other parts of the state.”
After condemning it, they still took sides with Okorocha, is it fair? It appears to me that Ohanaeze Youth Council cannot be serious with this lopsided warning. They have acted like though they were paid to embark on this in the first place. I suggest that the Senoir Ohanaeze call them to other.
