Stay away from guber polls in S’East, veterans warn Hope Uzodinma
By Steve Oko
With barely 48 hours to the March 11 governorship and house of assembly elections Igbo Veterans in Diaspora, have issued a stern warning to Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, against meddling in the election in any part of South East.
The group cleared told the Governor to steer clear from every state in the zone, and allow the people to freely vote for the respective governorship candidate of their choice.
The warning according to the group, “is sequel to intelligence report that some anti -Igbo chieftains of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, and their collaborators in other parties, were in a secret deal with some Northern cabal to deliver more South East states to the APC.”
This is as the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has vowed to resist any move to install an Emir in any part of South East.
IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, warned anyone planning to introduce Emirate system in any part of South East to perish such thought.
“Any Igbo politician and party that has reached any agreement to enthrone Fulani Emirate in any Christian community in Biafra land will be resisted with everything we have”, IPOB warned.
Igbo veterans in diaspora in a statement, Wednesday, warned Uzodinma to shelve his planned visit to Abia State on Thursday, claiming that the real motive is suspicious.
” Is he coming to extend the Imo unrest to Abia State”, the group queried.
” We don’t need Hope Uzodinma to infest Abia State or any other state in the South East with the festering insecurity in Imo State. Nobody will use Ndigbo to negotiate for political patronage.”
The statement jointly signed by Uchechukwu Egeonu and Udoeze Emuche claimed that the recent attempt to install an Emire in Aba was to test the waters on a possible Islamisation of South East.
Igbo veterans who noted with regret that the states in South East under the control of APC are being ravaged by insecurity, vowed never to allow another Igbo state to be taken by the APC.
They vowed not to allow anybody enslave or mortgage any part of Igbo land because of selfish political interests.
The statement enjoined South Easterners to vigorously resist any attempt to Islamic the zone.
