"I Am Walking In My Father’s Steps" - Emeka Ojukwu Jnr by actiondrilling: 6:27am On Nov 26, 2017
First son of the late Dim Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Emeka Ojukwu Jnr, has explained that his decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) was not for selfish aggrandisement, but to ensure that similar ideals that informed his late father’s action are upheld.

Ojukwu Jnr. added that he was merely walking in his father’s steps by ensuring that his actions are informed by the best interest of Nd’Igbo, recalling how, shortly after his return from exile in 1982, his father joined the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) rather than the Nigeria Peoples Party (NPP).

He said: “I can afford to stay back (in APGA) and wallow in sentimental politics that nkea bu nkeanyi (this is our own), but in the long run, what becomes of our tomorrow and place in the great Nigeria project, for which our forefathers laboured, invested their time, talent and even their blood?


“Which is preferable: to be a big fish in a small pond or a big fish in the ocean? Real champions are never afraid of the big league. That could be why late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo, asserted that if you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments, you are a liability to mankind. Nd’Igbo are not better off with emotional politics.”

Ojukwu spoke to The Guardian against the backdrop of recent statement by re-elected Governor Willie Obiano that he considers Ikemba’s son as of no consequence, but has extended an olive branch to stakeholders and co-contestants in the recent Anambra governorship poll.

He said the governor was still playing kindergarten politics, wondering why Obiano and other party chieftains should condemn him for identifying with APC while they struggle to impress President Buhari that they support him for a second term in office.

“So, while they seek to crucify me for joining APC, they express support and solidarity for the APC leader. Which is worse, to walk the talk or pander to politics of deceit and duplicity? What is the essence of being in a party that would rather support the presidential candidate of another party than choose its own?” he asked.

Ojukwu Jnr. stressed that having supported Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan in office, Nd’Igbo have decided to support President Buhari in the spirit of fairness and political goodwill, so that when a president of Igbo extraction emerges, other ethnic groups would reciprocate.

Wasn't this fool disowed by his father?

Why is he so desperate to get attention?

Didn't anyone let this fool know that the ojukwu popularity and support is meant for his father ONLY. You didn't do shit for your people so why do think anyone should listen to you? Oh because you have the ojukwu name that's why? The heck? Hell you were an embarrassment to your own father when he was alive. Stop trying to use him for relevance jeez. Go back to arguing with Bianca, after all that's all you're known for. Mtschewww

Yeah. Like Father , Like Son. Following your father's footstep as the coward he is. Funny how a persona non grata who couldn't even win his polling unit thinks he has an opinion and am even wondering who made the Ojukwu jnr Igbo spokesman. undecided

he may not have any influence on the political sphere but he made some salient point with the above.. though i dont think supporting buhari means igbos would enjoy any support.

The bold above settles it all and you need not say more. I wish igbos as a whole will see what you're seeing. It's long overdue, you guys must stop been sentimental when thinking politics; nigeria is far more than any region!
