Members of Umuchigbo community in Enugu East local government area have rejected a Christmas gift presented to them by the Speaker, Enugu State House of Assembly, Chief Edward Ubosi.

Speaking on behalf of the elders of the community after their resolution, Ichie Ben Okoye, said it was shameful that Ubosi who hails from the community could think of presenting a cow to them for Christmas when he refused to intervene in the lingering leadership crisis which was tearing the community apart.

The 82 year old retired school principal said they had informed Ubosi to come and take back his cow as they were not disposed to eating meat while the community continues to be in tumoil.

According to him, "we rejected the cow because we are in chains. We are in prison. Firstly, they have converted our village land to their personal property and secondly because of the crisis in our community which the speaker has turned a black and eye to.


"So when he brought the cow, we rejected it based on fact that he was supposed to use his position as the second person in government of Enugu State today to settle the crisis in the community. 


"He was there when elders, old men who gave birth to him were taken to court and he chose to do nothing. If I may ask, can someone who is in prison eat beef? No, you can't eat as you like. It's not possible because he is not free.


"Was told the speaker to come and carry his cow. If are able to settle the crisis in the village then we can think of eating meat. We are in chains so we can't eat meat," he said. 


Speaking on the crisis ravaging the community, Chief Okoye said that, "Francis Anike whose tenure had elapsed three years ago as the chairman of Umuchigbo village in his bid to remain in power obtained an injunction from the Enugu state high court stopping the entire Umuchigbo from having any form of meeting. This injunction stopped both the elders, the youths and other groups from meeting. 


"His tenure was supposed to end in May 2017 but he has refused to step aside or allow for an election to hold. He said that the method of his replacement should be by appointment and not through election. 


"That was the reason why he went to court for the injunction. He has been sharing lands which belong to Umuchigbo to unknown people. We the Oha(council of elders) expect the speaker to intervene and ask them why the council of elders was taken to court. 


"Our demand is that the speaker should compel these people to allow an election to hold as has been the practice over the years.  We are not against the speaker or Francis Anike if they have a candidate, what we want is for an election to hold so the people can decide who leads them. Leadership should not be by imposition," Okoye said.

They refuse to eat their destinies

Ubosi who hails from the community could think of presenting a cow to them for Christmas

Hmmm?

Presenting a single cow to a whole community in Enugu?

Is it a fulani cow or one of the cows imported from Brazil?

Btw, what is it with igbo politicians and these kinds of gifts?

The other day, we understand one of them distributed 1 litre of kerosene, this one now is giving a whole community a single fulani cow as Christmas gift, nawao.

Okay.

But at least the Lipton tea and garri were manufactured by the afonja. So which cow is being presented as Christmas gift? Is it a fulani cow or one of the cows imported from Brazil?
