Let me sincerely appreciate the boldness of His Eminence, the Anglican Bishop of Enugu Diocese and Chairman South East Christian Association of Nigeria- CAN, Bishop Chukwuma.
He is the only leader of a major Igbo group that was firm, bold, spitting fire and warning the invaders that South East will respond accordingly and defend themselves and their territory should this provocation be repeated.
While he was the only major voice, Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi turned himself to chief priest of ndi Enugu, went to Uzo Uwani and cried profusely, declared fasting and prayer and happily rushed to Abuja, smiling with President Buahri as if nothing happened and went to dine with senate president Saraki. Ugwuanyi was eating nkwobi and washing it down with the best of wine.
Apart from the disgraceful act of Ugwuanyi, the Enugu state House of.Assembly is another huge embarrassment. It is a pity that while Ugwuanyi is dull, his Assembly men are lame.
What of Ohaneze ndigbo? They are not interested. They are still fighting over some billions given to them by Jonathan administration to adopt him in 2015. Until that money is returned from those who hijacked it and shared accordingly, ndi igbo is on their own.
Again where is the only igbo party -APGA? When it comes to collecting money at the National level to adopt a presidential candidate, APGA leaders will claim the party is igbo party just to get the money and siphone, when it involves fighting for ndigbo against aggression, domination, invasion, occupation and marginalization, APGA disappears. Victor Oye is still overwhelmed by the bogus tittle of APGA National Chairman, he is resting in his Amawbia home Awka, fanning himself for the feat of his new national title.
Aka Ikenga followed PDP to oblivion. The group was drawing its fund from presidency under Jonathan and once GEJ was defeated, they equally accepted defeat and faded away. We now know it was never an igbo group with igbo interest.
And the almighty South East governor's FORUM? are they still existing? Who is their chairman?
I learnt they met in Abuja instead of Enugu and took pictures after the massacre of ndi igbo at Uzo Uwani. They never visited the crime scene nor took any drastic measure to get a voice and direction for ndigbo against this threatening Fulani herdsmen attack. Are these set of Igbo govs carefully chosen for a time like this to oversee the humiliation of ndigbo?
Congrats to our senators who have been crying foul and issuing statements, warning of danger should ndigbo be taken for granted.
Do we have PDP South East? Any message from them?
The South East APC actually issued a statement, but they sounded more herdsmen than defending their brothers in South East.
Where is the South East traditional rulers council? Let's just pity those ones, as they willingly became slaves in the hands of the governor's.
As hard times hit South East in particular and Nigeria in general, as we witness unfortunate developments keep unfolding daily, igbo leaders will naturally emerge.
