Ojukwu’s Children Vow Not To Support Bianca’s Senatorial Ambition by Ecstasy154(m): 11:34am On Sep 05, 2018 |
BY CHARLES KUMOLU The senatorial ambition of the wife of the late Biafra warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu- Ojukwu, yesterday, faced a major setback as some members of the Ojukwu family vowed not to support her even if she emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA. In an interactive session with newsmen, Dr. Ike Ojukwu, who is one of the directors of Ojukwu Transport Company Limited, OTL, said it was wrong to allow a woman from Ngwo in Enugu State to represent Anambra South Senatorial District. He said: “Is she from Nnewi? She is from Ngwo in Enugu State. I would prefer someone who is a son of the soil, and because I come from Nnewi, I would like an Nnewi indigene to represent us.” On his part, Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu Jnr said: “She is apparently coming out on the platform of APGA and that is APGA’s business. They can decide on whoever they want to bring out. That should not be my business but I find it curious that they want somebody from Enugu State to represent us in Anambra South. “This is a young woman, who was supposedly married to my late father. A young woman who could remarry tomorrow maybe from Abia State or later from Sokoto State. And they want her to represent us. I wonder if there are no other people in Anambra South, who can represent us. “Has anybody asked Odimegwu household whether we believe in her to represent us? This is a woman we don’t interact with. She doesn’t talk to us. She can’t have access to our property She can’t cross our gate in the village. She doesn’t associate with the members of the family. “There are certain questions that should have been asked before moving in that particular direction. Like I said, APGA is free to field whoever they want to field. I know that APC is trying to field a very credible candidate and when we get to the field of justice we will see what happens.” Also speaking, a legal practitioner Chief Debe Odimegwu Ojukwu, said: “As a lawyer, I would say no. why I said no is that there are so many marriages, even when you look at Nollywood, there are many marriages everyday but that does not make it legal. “Why I am arguing this is because there was a woman my father married in a court, and that marriage was never nullified, and my training as a lawyer tells me that when there is a subsisting marriage, subsequent marriage or attempt at marriage becomes null and void.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/anambra-south-ojukwus-children-vow-not-to-support-biancas-ambition/

You guys are not serious. She is now from Nnewi by virtue of marriage until court says otherwise; so she is credible. You people's family problem is not our business. 53 Likes 1 Share |

Actually Ojukwu's children are one of the disastrous things that happened to the great Ikemba. Especially that really fat one that was Nnewi LGA caretaker chairman when Peter Obi appointed him after so many years of being jobless. If Ojukwu's kids were hardworking at all, just their last name will get them fantastic jobs or help whatever company they float to be very successful. 65 Likes 4 Shares

Igbos are too nepotistic, tribalistic & jingoistic in orientation. In America, the Bushes are originally from Texas, a son, George Bush (later became president) was governor in Texas while his younger brother, Jeb Bush was governor in Florida, at the same time!!! Obama is from Hawaii but adopted Illinois ( with Chicago as capital) as his State & represented Illinois as a Senator of the US. Namadi Sambo, GEJ's VP & former gov of Kaduna State is from Edo; he also enjoyed Bauchi state scholarship to univuniversity as an undergraduate (when his dad was transferred there from Zaria, as a railway worker). Shekarau, two time gov of Kano is from Bornu. In fact El-Rufai of Kaduna state is said to be a settler Yoruba. Igbo people are members of State Houses Of Assembly in the North & Lagos state. Igbos are members of Parliament in the United Kingdom. Yet, a fellow Igbo woman, who has spent over 30yrs in, & dedicated her life to Anambra, a former Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, married with children to an Igbo leader, legend & hero ( from Anambra), is being discriminated against because she is not an Anambra Igbo. Yet you talk of Biafra.. Ogini? Maninini?? Kilodé Una Wahala never start. Una never wakeup. Una still dey suffer from war hangover. Igbo must start loving one another & see themselves as one people, one destiny. Tufiakwa!!.!! Meanwhile, I give her my blessings to go forward, win & represent her ungrateful, adopted ppl, with patriotism & distinction, devoid of bitterness or black belle... 59 Likes 4 Shares
