A former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has taunted a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, describing him as a saboteur.
According to him, Igbokwe will stop at nothing to betray and backstab his Igbo brothers because of a pot of porridge.
Categorically, Eze called Joe Igbokwe, a habitual and unrepentant prodigal son.
Eze was reacting to a statement credited to Igbokwe, wherein he urged President Bola Tinubu not to drop the alleged terrorism charge against the Biafran agitator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In a press statement on Monday, Eze condemned Igbokwe for what he described as his numerous acts of sabotage, which he said, have greatly undermined the progress, peace and unity of Igbos.
“It is with total disappointment that I address the reckless actions of Joe Igbokwe, whose deliberate sabotage and betrayal of the Igbos have continued to threaten the stability and advancement of the Igbo race.
“Igbokwe’s scathing remarks against the person of Nnamdi Kanu are not only irresponsible, misconceived but a direct affront on the Igbos.
“Without mincing words, Igbokwe’s actions reveal a blatant disregard for the collective welfare and an alarming willingness to prioritize personal agendas over the common good.
“Categorically, I abhor and condemn Igbokwe’s attempt to undermine the integrity of our collective efforts in calling for the release of Nnamdi Kanu from, and I am urging all stakeholders to stand united against such divisive tactics” Eze stated.
Eze emphasized that Igbokwe’s position on Nnamdi Kanu “is a ranting of a fellow seeking political relevance in Lagos State.
Eze asked Igbokwe to explain exactly, the crime Nnamdi Kanu committed to warrant his incarceration over the years.
“Is Nnamdi Kanu’s agitation different from what Sunday Igboho and others agitated? Today, Igboho and others
are being accorded heroic stance by both the Federal Government and the Yoruba Nation.
“Is it because Kanu is an Igbo man or what, Eze queried.
“How many Nigerians have Kanu killed to warrant the wicked treatment being meted out on him to the extent that he is being denied access to qualified medical personnel,” Eze asked Igbokwe.
“The same Igbokwe and his co-Igbo haters are fully aware how Igbos are being driven out of Lagos with their properties destroyed,” the APC Chieftain said.
