Nnamdi Kanu Don’t scuttle Anambra elections - APGA Chieftain warns IPOB

Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, a member of APGA Board of Trustees (BoT), has called on members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) not to scuttle the Nov. 18 elections in Anambra.
Ezonwuka told newsmen in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Council on Wednesday that the “No Election in Anambra’’ song by the agitators was both illogical and out of tune with modern reality.
He
said it would amount to cutting off one’s nose to spite his face as not
holding election in Anambra would further worsen the plight of not just
the agitators but innocent people in Anambra.
“The call for no election lacks sense; it is not in tandem with modern world, especially in democratic societies.
“Why will you destroy what you already have because of what you are looking for? Just like cutting off your nose?
“What
are they even clamouring for? If it is Biafra, they already have it
because their councillors, local government chairmen, even governors are
their own people.
“What they
should be doing now is to see how they can add value to the security,
economic and political wellbeing of the region rather than disturbing
the businesses and peace of their brothers and sisters,’’ he said.
Ezeonwuka,
who is the founder of “Ogirisi Foundation’’, a socio-cultural group,
however, blamed the army of youths available for IPOB agitations and
rallies on joblessness.
He said that
successive governments had been unfair to the youth through their
inability to provide business and economically viable environment for
them to be gainfully busy.
According
to him, if the youths calling for Biafra and agitating against
democratic election had something to keep them economically busy, they
will not abandon it.
“What you see is a sign of frustration; they have been deprived of their rights by governments in the South-East.
“My
opinion is that leaders in the zone should not just talk with the youth
but device a way to build our regional economy for youths just like
Taiwan is a big economy under China,’’ he said.
