IPOB: The rediculous level of ignorance (Opinion)

By Chinonso CHIKEZIE

In trying to justify the barbaric and unfortunate assault on Senator Ike Ekweremadu, IPOB officials claim that he has been in the Senate for 16 years without constructing the Enugu-Onitsha Federal Highway and the Enugu-Port Harcourt Federal Highway amongst other key roads in the Southeast. Where on earth do Lawmakers fund the construction of Federal Highways? A Lawmaker makes laws and lobbies for the execution of projects by the Executive.

At the last count, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has been one of the most influential and vocal senators in the country. The roads displayed by IPOB in their poor propaganda articles have been under construction for over 20 years. Even as I write, these roads are under construction by the failed APC Federal Government. The problem has been poor funding of roads.

The Benin-Ore Federal Road is poor shape. The East West Road is in Poor Shape. The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is in Poor Shape. Are these roads in poor shape because of Federal Lawmakers from those zones? They have been provided for in the budget. Therefore, it smacks of unforgivable ignorance for IPOB to upload pictures of roads and blame a Lawmaker. Pick the budget and check if these roads are provided for.

When the South-East wanted to vote out Buhari, NNAMDI Kanu and IPOB plotted a suspicious STAY AT HOME campaign, to reduce the margin of votes for Atiku Abubakar. They new that Ndigbo were determined to vote out Buhari, but they WORKED stylishly for Buhari. So why shed CROCODILE TEARS.

To blame the Senator for Operation Python Dance is being Childish. That Operation was launched by the APC Federal Government. Senator Ike Ekweremadu for the better part of his last term as Deputy Senate President was under fire from the Buhari Administration. How would such a man that faced Court action from the Buhari Administration, turn around to instruct the failed Administration?

NNAMDI Kanu has lost a large chunk of his support base due to this ungodly IPOB thug attack. Propaganda wont help this time. He cannot ridicule the leadership of the South-east and not expect repercussion.

For the German Government, if they like, they can be inept. When the German Ambassador or top official is publicly assaulted in Nigeria or West Africa, the matter would be swept under the carpet.

NNAMDI KANU should be COURAGEOUS and tender an unreserved apology to Senator Ike Ekweremadu and all Igbos. Otherwise, he will KISS the dust like Uwazuruike. He has threatened the foundation of his own movement.
