Archbishop of the Enugu Province, Anglican Communion, the
Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma, Thursday, blasted Imo State
Governor, Rochas Okorocha over his persistent attacks on the Deputy
Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
Okorocha, who is the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Governors’ Forum, has vowed to remove Ekweremadu and
replace him with the Senator elect from Imo State.
Speaking when members of the National Association of Nigerian
Students, NANS, visited him at the Archbishop’s place in Enugu, the
cleric maintained that Okorocha was pursuing anti-Igbo agenda.
The students, who were in their hundreds, took over Enugu streets
protesting the plan by the APC to remove Ekweremadu. From the
Archbishop’s place, the moved to the Enugu Government House,
where they were received by the commissioner for youth and sports,
Charles
While addressing them, Chukwuma declared: “We are saying that the
Governor of Imo State should apologize to Ekweremadu because he
has no right to be harassing him.
“The person who is going to the Senate under the APC is coming
just for the first term; whether you like it or not, he must come and
pay homage to Ekweremadu.
“How can you as a Governor who is just sponsoring one person, for
the first time be threatening that you will remove Ekweremadu? It is
not possible.
“What I am saying is that Okorocha should apologize and he should
know that he is either an Igbo man or a bastard Igbo.
“He is a bastard Igbo if he does not apologize and we are ready to
disown him because he is not in the same page with us as an Igbo
man. If he was sent by agents from outside, they have failed.”
The Archbishop, who equally accused the Attorney General and
Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami of derailing the country’s
democracy, urged him to throw-in the towel.
According to him, “Ekweremadu’s election as the Deputy Senate
President was absolutely constitutional; he was elected by the entire
Senate made up of members of different political parties.
“So, if the Senate does not complain, I don’t know why the Attorney
General should be behind this course. I am calling for his
resignation; he must resign because he is the cause of all these
problems. His continuous stay in office is a threat to democracy”.
He further stated that “any attempt to ridicule or rubbish Ekweremadu
will not be acceptable. It will be totally resisted. The principle of
separation of powers should be allowed to drive the process of
governance.”
The Church leader faulted President Muhammadu Buhari over his
insistence that the unity of the country was not negotiable, stressing
“when you are marginalizing a certain people, it is not fair and in
such situation, the unity of the country is negotiable.”
At the Enugu Government House, the Commissioner for youths and
sports, Mr. Charles Ndukwe, who received the students, stated that
Senator Ekweremadu had maintained his innocence of the
allegations.
“Ekweremadu has said it on several occasions that he is innocent of
the allegations. We shall continue to support him because he is not
just a Senator but a philanthropist”, he said.

Which insults? Ndiigbo can't insult Chukwuma for he speaks our mind. Any insult on Bishop Chukwuma coming from a non Igbo man or an Igbo man with questionable allegiance is irrelevant.

By the way, Bishop Chukwuma is a proud Igbo man from Asaba Delta state.


They seem to breed special type of Igbos in Asaba.

Thanks bro, I am honoured.

No, I studied sciences in school. But you know, the average Igbo man is like a lawyer ie "Lawyer Ikpeama" * grins*, which was why our communities were republican in nature, cases affecting the community were usually thrown open in the people's assembly( Ogbakor/Nzuko) and deliberated on.

Public debates and litigations are core parts of the Igbo DNA, we don't need a law school to master them.
