ENUGU- THE people of Ishi-Ozalla community in Nkanu, Enugu state, are opposed to the governorship project of their son, Mr. Frank Nweke, Jnr, the governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in Enugu State, for the 2023 elections, saying he should first make peace with them.

The community was in crisis sometime in the past that led to some members of the community allegedly being ostracized and Nweke, a prince, was accused of being behind it, an allegation he however denied, saying he was not behind the action.

The crisis even excavated to the extent that the community led a protest to Enugu Government House, calling for the intervention of the Government.

However, ahead of 2023 election and with Nweke former Information minister, emerging the governorship of APGA, the community resurrected the issue and are now opposed to his governorship ambition.

They told him to forget his governorship ambition and devote the energy towards restoring peace to the crisis-ridden community.

In the statement by the community, under the aegis of Concerned Citizens of Ishi-Ozalla, entitled “charity begins at home”, they claimed the former minister had been unable to bring any form of development to his community, wondering he can turn Enugu State around, as he is promising.

Signed by Dr. Muna Ebelechukwu, the statement said: “We heard that one of our sons and brother has taken the bull by the horn to contest the number one position in Enugu State. Ordinarily, this should gladden our hearts, but that is not the case owing to some obvious reasons.
