2023: Okorocha’s romance with discredited imposters makes his presidential ambition anti-Igbo and anti-Nigeria

 


By Jones Fcc Onwuasoanya



 

As an ardent campaigner for the next president of Nigeria to come from the Southeast, I should have been ordinarily excited with the news of Owelle Rochas Okorocha’s upcoming World Press Conference where he is expected to formally declare his intention to vie for the highest office in the land. But, it is quite unfortunate that the man from Ogboko who is on his fourth presidential voyage is set to have what is certain to be his worst ever political outing, in his over two decades of active political involvement.


Apart from other relevant questions that have been raised about the viability and even morality of his presidential ambition, the Imo West Senator’s willful affront on Ndigbo’s collective authority which is demonstrated by his romance with a discredited impostor parading himself as the President-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, a certain Mr. Chidi Ibeh, clears every doubt, that Okorocha’s comical ambition to govern Nigeria  is both anti-Igbo and anti-Nigeria.


Yes, I am expected to support any Igbo who declares interest in vying for presidency, but I would certainly not be expected to support an ambition which by all intents and purposes is driven by a desire to turn Nigeria to an empire of lawlessness and degenerate Nigeria’s already sad situation to a colony of charlatans.


Okorocha’s attempt to impose his house boy, Chidi Ibeh as the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and his continuous recognition of the criminal charlatan as such exposes him as a man consumed by personal insecurity and a master of impunity who is only interested in using the Nigerian presidency to confer Constitutional immunity on himself and the charlatans he prods. It also shows that, should the Ogboko born multibillionaire have the slightest opportunity he would declare himself the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, even without purchasing nomination forms.


It might interest any discerning reader to note that a man who was governor for eight years and currently serving as a lawmaker in the upper legislative chambers of our National Assembly has continued to recognize and even at a time sponsored Chidi Ibeh and his cohort, Okechukwu Isiguzoro to criminally invade and attempted to forcefully take over the National Secretariat of the apex Igbo sociocultural organization. While Chidi Ibeh never purchased any form nor declared any intention to vie for the office of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro was actually a statutory delegate to the Congress that the authentic and unencumbered National Executive Committee led by His Excellency Ambassador Professor George Obiozor.


The Nigerian Constitution which anyone who becomes Nigeria’s President is expected to swear to uphold criminalizes acts of impersonation and extortion, acts which Okorocha’s proteges, Ibeh and Isiguzoro are currently enmeshed in and being protected by their principal and chief sponsor. Supporting a man who funds some individuals to disparage his own people just for his personal political aggrandizement is not very different from supporting someone who finances the destruction of his community to ascend the sacred throne of the kingdom.


If a man cannot accept the decision of the majority of his own people, but insists on imposing his own will on the people, even while he doesn’t have any executive powers, then, it would be outright dangerous to empower such a man with such power as the Commander-in-Chief of Africa’s largest nation.
