Emeka Jnr., the first son of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has said since the Nd’Igbo supported former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, he cannot understand why they cannot accord President Muhammadu Buhari the same support.

He ended the controversy trailing his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying he is only following the footsteps of his late father.

Emeka Jnr., who addressed reporters yesterday in Awka, the state capital, said Governor Willie Obiano’s overtures to him to return to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) smacked of ignorance about the workings of politics in Nigeria.

Ojukwu’s first son said he was only taking to his father’s footsteps by ensuring that his actions were informed by the best interest of Nd’Igbo.

Emeka Jnr recalled how, shortly after his father’s return from exile in 1982, he joined the National Party of Nigeria (NPN), rather than the Nigeria Peoples Party (NPP), which was headed by an Igbo man, the late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe.

He said: “I can afford to stay back (in APGA) and wallow in sentimental politics of 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 the late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo asserted that if you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments, you are a liability to mankind. The Nd’Igbo are not better off with emotional politics.

“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?”

Emeka Jnr noted that having supported Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, the Nd’Igbo 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.

Overfed baby-adult speaking

Some of us did not just support Jonathan because we felt he was perfect but we believed he would have set a standard for vibrant younger generations to take over and make amends where he failed .

Buhari is an old spent force who have nothing to offer in this technologically driven world other than taking us many years backward with his mundane ideas and nepotism.

Your father stood for Biafra, igbos still stand by Biafra.

Come down to Nnewi, you go pity this "Over-grown-baby"

He's just a direct opposite of his brave-hearted father

We don't beg for unity, we simply enforce it on you wether you like it or not. If in doubt ask mazi Kanu what happened when the zoo python paid him a call

Kanu said worse and yet we took care of him when we saw fit. Unity is by force until we say otherwise and you are powerless to do anything about it

You are in no position to tell me whether to stay off your mentions or not, just as you don't have a say over Nigeria's unity. One Nigeria until we say otherwise, meanwhile I will continue to quote you for as long as I feel like

Ok,we don hear....we sef go follow my father's foot step.

Asala maleku Tajudeen Isiaka Olawale, my yoruba muslim brother from Osun state. Why are u feeling so pained whenever Biafra is mentioned?....Take it easy bro so woun't commit suicide like pa Awo did. The time we yoruba muslim yuuuths waste in antagonizing and talking ill about Biafra would been enough to rally yoruba yuuuth to start agitating for Oduduwa republic or better still, demand and compel Adeyinka grand son to come down to yoruba land and start the movement like the fearless Kanu did, rather than hidding away in the UK gheto to make noise like a spinless coward..........

Please don't insult me but answer my questions

Who is the leader of biafra and which of the biafra groups does he belong to?

After answering that, what is his and the groups ideology?

If you get biafra, what are the resources apart from oil that you can use to do export? As far as I'm concerned igboland does not have enough soil to support biafra.

Will biafra include SS or not?
