‘You Are A Sad Irony Of Your Father’- Obiano Berates Ojukwu Jr.
Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has described Ojukwu Jr. as ‘a sad irony’ of his father, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
He said this while debunking a claim that he pestered Emeka Ojukwu to return to the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
Son of the Biafran warlord had on November 15, dumped APGA, a political party believed to have been founded by his late father, for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
In a recent interview, Ojukwu Jr. said that Obiano had been lobbying for him to return to the party, adding that the Anambra governor was playing “ infantile and local politics.”
But responding in a statement by his Media Aide, Olivier Okpala, Obiano said Ojukwu lied against him,stressing that he had never talked to the late Igbo leader’s son since he joined the APC.
Obiano said he had nothing to gain if Ojukwu returned to APGA.
The statement partly reads, “It is a matter of pure pathetic fallacy for the younger Ikemba to say that Governor Obiano is lobbying him to come back to APGA.
“The governor wondered on what grounds anybody would ever lobby Ojukwu to return to APGA while he never held any important position to warrant being described as a stakeholder or a leader of the party when he was a member of APGA.
“In fact, nobody knew that he was a member of the party.”
Obiano described Ojukwu’s son as “a sad irony of his father” who “In his lifetime, was the champion of the struggle for the rights and emancipation of his people, standing firm with his Igbo brothers and sisters and never betraying their cause.”
Adding, “I wonder what the Great Ikemba would be thinking when his son openly denied the only political entity which he left to unite the Igbo under a political umbrella.
“It is unfortunate that Ojukwu’s son described an elder and the governor of his state as one playing juvenile and local politics when the late Ojukwu respected constituted authorities.
“We urge Ojukwu Jnr to show respect to the governor and continue his sojourn with the APC rather than make untrue remarks about the governor.”

In a family of twelve there must be a Judas, ojukwu himself was not the first son of his own father but he was really a lion, and he gave birth to so many sons and I knew by the time biankas children grows up, the ojukwu you used to know will surface.

Is ojukwu really the father? Only the mother can answer that question.

The son is a sublated irony of his late father. He will surely get his political career destroyed by the extrinsic determinate destroyer.

Even as much as am personally not an Obiano liker nor fan, but I agree with him on this. Ojukwu Jr is a fake of Ikemba gene.

What’s d difference btw u Obiano and ojukwu junior. Under ur watchful eyes d hausa/Fulani janjaweed army murdered ur subjects and u did absolutely nothing. Even a mere condemnation u didn’t. U with ur other colleagues governors invited d janjaweed army in d name of operation python dance to silence, kill and maim our people bc majority of d people have lost confidence in u people and d Nigeria experiments. U ended up prescribing d only mouth piece of d entire Ndigbo but nemesis must surely catch up with u. It’s a matter of time
