The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths in Enugu State has
distanced themselves from a publication which says the
socio-political organisation is calling for a one million-
man match to demand accountability from the governor of
Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Mazi Nnamdi Odo, the Youth Leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo
in Enugu State said he was hearing about the call for the
first time stressing that such call couldn’t have emanated
from them as they have no reason to call for such yet.
Mazi Odo attributed the publication to the actions of
renegades and assured they will go after such persons
once their identity is known to them.
“I have no idea of what you are saying because there’s
only one Ohanaeze Ndigbo and I’m not aware of such call
and there is no reason to protest against the workaholic
Governor of Enugu State.
“You have called my attention to this, we are actually
going to do something about it, impersonation is a crime
and we are going to do something about it once I finish
talking to you now,” he said.
Also commenting on the publication, Enugu Youths
Renaissance, EYR, said the publication is laughable and
shouldn’t be discussed.
The Acting Publicity Secretary of EYR, Umeayo Caleb said
the faceless group deserves no response as they’re playing
a kite.
“Anyone that is in Enugu and says the current
administration have done nothing about insecurity is either
a drunk or suffering from acute memory loss.”
He went on to say that the publication is just a political
hatchet job by some disgruntled element that believes the
only way they can achieve their political dream is by
blackmailing any government in power.
“We know these antics my brother. This is purely a
political gimmick and I can assure you that this is a
blackmail tool of some disgruntled politicians whose
stock in trade is blackmail and mudslinging.
“EYR does not pay attention to such characters but if
there’s need to reply them, I believe my Director General
and the entire executive will do that because we can’t
watch anyone set this place on fire because of their
inordinate ambition,” he said.
