The Anglican ArchBishop of the Enugu Province,
Most Rev Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma on Monday
urged the President Muhammadu Buhari led
government to desist from further plot to
remove the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike
Ekweremadu.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, led
administration had continued to rue the
emergence of Ekweremadu.
Speaking to journalists on the sideline of the
town hall meeting organized by the Federal
Ministry of Information in Enugu, Chukwuma
also insisted that “Nigerias is negotiable
because people are wounded; people are being
sidelined and this is what is causing this spate
of bombings by Avengers and all these people
who are agitators.
“The more you make Nigerians to know that
they are part of the government and receive the
social amenities and care, then there will be no
need for us to talk about restructuring.
“Restructuring will surely be done because the
way things are going, it has to be restructured.
South-East is the only zone that has five states. You have to restructure because without restructuring there will be marginalization.”
“We need to know that Nigerians are Nigerians;
to keep Nigeria as one is a task that must be
done, but Nigerians must be carried along
without any part being neglected in
appointments, in infrastructure, and even when
you see how they appoint some South-East people into government, it does not translate to
infrastructural development. It does not.”
He added that “this town hall meeting is an
opening for the Minister to tell the President
that we are not happy; we need to be carried
along, we need to be recognized.
“But we appeal to our brothers, let us be patient
and see what will happen and this town hall
meeting should not just be a jamboree, it
should be studied for implementation and
action to take place as soon as possible.”
On Ekweremadu, he noted that “What we are
saying is that APC should not be afraid of
Ekweremadu; Ekweremadu is a very simple
developing senator and out of all the senators
in the South East, Ekweremadu is the most, I
must say, loved, hard-working senator that APC
can make use of to develop Nigeria.
“We want to also express that it is unfortunate
that the governor of Imo State has continued to
insult him and we say that this is not right, he
should be called to order by the APC because
Ekweremadu was not elected by the APC and
election in the senate was not done by
governors.
“So, if a senator is going to survive in
the senate, that senator must come to pay
homage to the leading senator in the South-East.
“The governor of Imo State should tread with
caution, if he is an Igbo man, otherwise he is a
betrayer. I want to call him to order that if he
continues this way, the Igbos will deny him.
“Ekweremadu should be left alone to do his
work, he has been elected constitutionally as
Deputy Senate President and nobody can
remove him there. If they do that, it means that
this government doesn’t want the Igbos, then
you are calling for its secession from Nigeria
because that is the high ranking position we
have and we are all behind him and he has been performing, and he should be left to perform.”

Buhari is technically aware of this, anyway.

We need new sets of politicians.

nothing will happen if they remove him. Igbos are not radical like the north

Nigeria is divided already

Is that all?..smh

Can anybody prove to me that this country is not under a curse?
How can a country be like this?
Confused politicians, confused preachers, confusion everywhere.
I am tired.

okosodo:

Yes between APC supporters like me and PDP supporters like you. PDP needs to realize game is up and they should plan ahead for the future. APC will be winning 90% of elections henceforth and it proves majority are with APC.

imagine how people think

You are one under a curse and the one that is confused and tired.

pedel:

Your parents will die regretting giving birth to you. Your generations are cursed. I decree that Anyone that render you any form of help will die of stroke. I place a curse of insufficiency on you and your future generations. You will remain a source of grief and sorrow to your household. Anyone who curses me is cursed.

I annul every word, and reverse every curse you posted here against me, it shall not stand and shall never come to pass in Jesus name. Empty brain! read proverbs 26:2 you have already laid a curse on youself by asking for proof that your country is cursed. I am a nigerian and hence nigeria is not cursed.

Lies

lmao... yeye ipob bishop... shitgboes said worse about nnamdi kanu not being released.

Till now he is almost a year in jail and still counting. Igbos can only wail, chestbeat, fast and pray or at most cry like their governors...

Hhhhhhmmmm

So when Okadigbo, Enwerem, etc were removed Nigeria didn't break, is it because PMB is there that Nigeria will break if someone is removed?

Issorite

Because ekweremadu is now as revered as jesus abi?

This fake pastor needs to drink a tall glass of shut the _fuck up juice!

Removed? What is this Preacher preaching here? If Ekweremadu is found guilty then he should be kicked out of that seat along with his partner in crime Bukola Saraki

Did God tell u that??

k

Nice one my brother. I doubt if the arc bishop made that comment. Otherwise, I will appreciate the bishop should encourage him to concentrate in clearing his name on the alleged forgery.

Why must they always mention Buhari in everything. Buhari is head of the executive, not the legislature. This is becoming ridiculous. Its almost like some people are obsessed with the name, the cant eat sleep or breathe without calling Buhari. Smh

It will not divide Nigeria....

Even those in Ekwemeremadu's senatorial axis will move on their normal businesses

So we should pretend the vengeful bigot called buhari is not behind everything?

Even if he's innocent no one reaps where he did not sow. Rochas Okorocha adviced them to decamp to APC for Igbo interest but they rather used it to blackmail Okorocha instead of accepting the truth. Had it been most Igbo politicians heeded to Okorocha's call Ndigbo would have been big stakeholders in APC. Since Ekweremadu is in PDP he has no business in APC government.

Ok

I think the man should face his calling rather than dabble into politics.

na lie
