Igbo Elites Attack Obiora Okonkwo For not Supporting Peter Obi.

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

 

 

Igbo elites in Nigeria and Diasporas have unleashed heavy criticisms on Obiora Okonkwo, a former PDP governorship aspirant in Anambra State for declaring open support for Atiu Abubakar instead of Peter Obi.

 

Obiora Okonkwo who lost the PDP governorship primaries in 2021 by four votes to Val Ozigbo, have been abused, insulted, debased and called all sorts of names for daring to openly canvass for Atik Abubakar as his preferred presidential candidate in the South East.

 

Since the plethora of abuses he got on hundreds of whatsappa and facebook platforms, many supporters of Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar have decided to keep their mouth shut, and do their worst few days to the elections.

 

Many prominent supporters of Atiku and Tinubu have told me that they will mobilize for their principals at the last moment because they are not ready to be hushed, abused, insulted and cursed for holding contrary political opinion.

 

Rev Obinna Akukwe is appalled at the level of abuse Igbo elites heaped on Obiora Okonkwo , a former governorship aspirant in PDP for not supporting Peter Obi.

PANPIEC to meet Igbo Politicians on Nnamdi Kanu , 2023 Polls as Nzuko Ndigbo Mourns Anambra Flood Victims

 

The Pan Nigerian President of Igbo Extraction Coalition PANPIEC, the pioneer coalition of support groups that started the Pressure for power shift to Igboland in 2023 and many aggrieved Igbo politicians across political divide have scheduled an emergency meeting at Umuahia this weekend to discuss the political development in Nigeria and need for all Igbo Presidential candidates to agree on one person with large followership in Nigeria.

The Strategy Team will also discuss the implications of non-release of Nnamdi Kanu on the Igbo populace and offer the quickest solution out of the quagmire.

The Chairman of the PANPIEC 23 Presidency Strategic Committee, REV Obinna Akukwe stated this while addressing the media in Abuja on Friday. He said that the PANPIEC emergency session at Owerri on the 18^th was successful and the body will relay the findings to the public after its emergency Board of Trustees meetings in Abuja this weekend

He noted that Nigeria is now well disposed to a Pan Nigeria Igbo man succeeding President Buhari in 23 and there is the need for all the candidates of Igbo extraction to agree on one person.

He commended the Nigerians for their disposition to political justice and equity and lauded the DoS branch of IPOB for pledging not to disrupt elections in Igboland.

Crisis over non- release of Nnamdi Kanu -PANPIEC in emergency session

 

In furtherance of the mandate of PANPIEC to carry every Igbo along as regards Presidency 2023, irrespective of political party, we have discovered that many Igbo politicians in LP. PDP and APC do not want Nnamdi KANU released, especially after the assassination attempt at Senator Ifeanyi Uba.

Having interacted with over 200 influencers across party lines since the Court of Appeal Verdict including Obidients, Batists and Atikulated, it is shocking that eighty percent want him in detention till after the elections because they believe he will disrupt the process and the message have reached Aso Rock

Therefore, in urgent resolution of the aforementioned, PANPIEC 2023 Igbo Presidency Strategy Team will all assemble in Owerri Wednesday 18^thOCTOBER to deliberate on the ugly developments and implications for Igbo Presidency and take all appropriate actions in line with the mandate given us by Igbo leaders.

However, other consultations with all aggrieved and interested parties should commence immediately for proactive resolution.

 Igbo Think Tank ITT, a  coalition of Igbo veterans activists , professionals and opinion leaders  aimed at rapid industrialization of the South East into a Japanese model,  have warned members of  Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB against disrupting the 2023 presidential elections in the South East.

Some IPOB coordinators worried about the lingering political solution promised on the release of Nnamdi Kanu is taking long, and the deteriorating state of health of Nnamdi KANU, sought the assistance of Board of Igbo Think Tank on the impasse.

In his response, the Vice Chairman Board of Trustees of Igbo Think Tank, Rev Obinna Akukwe said that abuses, insults and bloody enforcement of  Monday Sit at Home is responsible for the failure of the political solution.

The Obituary in the Obidient Movement

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

 

Rev Obinna Akukwe wants to prophetically that there is Obituary in the Obidient Movement.

 

The electoral umpires in Nigeria should ensure that any vote cast by Obidients counts to avoid mass action, mass uproar and mass uprising capable of leading to the truncation of the fourth republic.

 

The Obidient Movement is the trigger that may lead to the balkanization of Nigeria into four, Biafra, Niger Delta, Oduduwa and Northern Nigeria.

 

I wrote about how Nigeria may  disintegrate into four  if the political actors continues with their insensitivity to the feelings of the masses, according to a revelation of March 2021, titled 'God May Approve the Disintegration of Nigeria' and warned that if the political actors do not act with circumspection, they will fast forward the disintegration of Nigeria.

 

To forestall disintegration, we formed a coalition of Veteran Igbo Activists on Peace Mission and started a campaign of de-radicalizing South East to avoid the Afghanistan template in Igbo land.

Politicians are Sponsoring Banditry, Kidnapping to Embarrass Buhari

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Nigerian politicians have been sponsoring kidnappings and banditry to embarrass the government of Muhammad Buhari, in preparation for 2023 polls.

I raised this alarm first in January 2020 after the murder of the Adamawa State Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria, Lawan Indimi.

 Despite the fact that government  agreed to pay N50 million naira ransom for his release, we were informed by diplomatic sources that a powerful politician paid the Boko Haram terrorists to kill the Christian cleric.

In a publication of January 2020, almost three years ago, I wrote In a piece, immediately after the death  of fellow  Christian cleric,' Plot to Oust Buhari, the Vultures are Gathering over Murder of CAN Chairman'  and explained thus

" The 2019 elections had come and gone, the fifth columnists have devised new strategies to send Buhari packing. Bandits were sponsored to attack the president’s home state of Katsina. The bandits earlier ravaging Zamfara State were empowered to cause more mayhem. The kidnappers along Abuja- Kaduna highway were empowered to be more ruthless, shooting at the slightest provocations"

This publication was on the 25th of January, 2020, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the situation has not changed.

The spate of politically motivated banditry continued and we kept quiet because the actors are powerful faces known to the security agencies.

PANPIEC Igbo Presidency 2023 Negotiating Team Kickstarts Work

 

I was two weeks ago appointed by the Board of Pan Nigerian President of Igbo Extraction Committee PANPIEC as the Chairman of the 2023 Igbo Presidency Negotiating Team.

Two years ago, I received similar appointment as Director, Christian Religious Wing of PANPIEC and the duties were discharged expeditiously. The disappointment Ndigbo felt during the APC and PDP primaries was because the Igbo political leaders failed to heed all the warnings of PANPIEC, including the Christian Religious Wing, depending on their old alliances with friends across Nigeria.

Two months before both primaries, till few seconds to the actual voting of the two parties, was consistently giving situation reports of the ongoing within the two parties through PANPIEC Christian Religious Wing, and how Igbo will avoid imminent disgrace.

This time around, PANPIEC will make all findings public knowledge to ensure that the monumental disgrace of both PDP and APC primaries does not repeat.

The other members of the team include Barrister Emejulu Okpalaukwu ( Deputy Chairman), Dr Pat Anyanwu (Secretary) Chief Mrs Chika Ibeneme ( Woman Leader) Barrister Musa Umoru ( Director of Operations) and Comrade Chuks Ibegbu ( Technical Adviser)
