The
All Progressives Congress (APC) has challenged the National Chairman of
All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, to release
his much awaited bombshell on the circumstances leading to the heart
attack and subsequent death of Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Emeka Ojukwu.
The
party said during the last APGA crisis, Umeh had in an interview
published in a national daily, warned Governor Peter Obi and Mrs Bianca
Ojukwu to stop instigating his removal or else he would tell the whole
world how Ojukwu died.
Umeh
has however reconciled with Governor Obi, shortly after the Appeal
Court Enugu quashed the judgment of an Enugu High Court, which sacked
him as the National Chairman of APGA.
The
APC in the South East region contends that as the first anniversary of
Dim Emeka Ojukwu’s death on November 26, 2013 draws close, “it is now
incumbent on Chief Victor Umeh to avail the world as he promised in the
newspaper report of the much Governor Obi knows about the circumstances
leading to Ikemba’s heart attack and subsequent death.”
The
party threw the challenge in a statement by its Zonal Publicity
Secretary, Osita Okechukwu on Friday, while reacting to alleged attempts
by Governor Obi to use the annual Ofala festival of Obi of Onitsha,
Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, to blackmail Senator Chris Ngige, the APC
candidate for the November 16 governorship election in the state.
The
opposition party appealed to the good people of Anambra State to use
the index track record performance as the yard-stick to measure who to
vote for, in the November 16 governorship election.
Part
of the statement reads: “We are worried that Governor Peter Obi is
becoming excessively desperate in the face of the collapse of his
propaganda machine, being fully aware that he achieved merely seven
percent performance of the Sen Ngige’s Blue-Print in seven years.
“Recall
that penultimate week, when Governor Fashola apologised to Ndigbo over
the deportation of 14 Igbo, Governor Peter Obi felt disarmed and went
ahead to persuade Peoples Democratic Party {PDP} leadership to replace
Comrade Tony Nwoye in INEC list.
“Now
that Nwoye had gone to court, the only propaganda card left was to use
the annual Ofala festival of Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, Agbogidi, Obi of
Onitsha to blackmail Senator Chris Ngige.
“To
the best of our knowledge Senator Ngige is a cultured person, well
brought up and cannot disrespect the great Obi of Onitsha, hence he duly
got permission from the palace for the rally”
The
party urged Governor Obi to concentrate on “preparing his not less than
transparent hand over notes instead of attacking Senator Ngige.
“Otherwise
we would be forced to remind the good people of Anambra State and
indeed Nigerians of the infamous monthly N250m money haulage to Lagos by
Governor Obi and the much-expected bombshell from Chief Victor Umeh on
the shady circumstances surrounding the demise of Gburugburu
Dikedioranma Ndigbo, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumuegwu Ojukwu, Ikemba Nnewi”.
