DE EMEKA IHEDIOHA HAS INSULTED MBAISE PEOPLE, IGBOS AND HIS MANY FANS, THINGS JUST CAN’T BE THE SAME AGAIN
I have always respected and admired Emeka Ihedioha for his intelligence, eloquence, tact and diplomatic finesse but his last misguided and insensitive utterances in Ghana broke me completely. I watched the video and listened to his speech ardently albeit with utmost scrutiny. All those trying to justify his stance or doing damage control are entitled to their opinions and sentiments for whatever reason but the fact remains that, De Emeka Ihedioha has lost it completely, at least in my own view.
Watch Ihedioha’s speech that raised the dust at the end of this article
The elders are wise when they say, whom the God’s want to destroy, he will first make deaf. It’s obvious that our dear Great brother Emeka Ihedioha listens to no one but himself. It’s unfortunate that he has given his ” enemies and detractors” a blank cheque or good opportunity to perfect their ploys. As it stands, as a true Mbaise cum Igbo Man and well-meaning Nigerian with Conscience, I no longer have sympathy for De Emeka Ihedioha’s political aspirations given that our political ideologies and expectations are different. He seized to be my role model even though he will always be in my good books for making Mbaise Proud as a Governor.
Mbaise has always been responsive, relevant and instrumental when it comes to National Issues. I would say we are the true blooded Igbos given our avid passion and commitment to noble causes and issues of National concern and human rights, especially when it comes to fighting or advocating the Igbo cause, history can validate this. Why do you think Mbaise people pursue education so vigorously? They don’t like to play second fiddle or be intimidated. Our spirit of Excellence must reflect in all Areas of life, particularly when it comes to electing public office holders, whether in Mbaise or outside Mbaise. An average Mbaise Person is exposed and politically aware compare to other clans in Igbo Land. So, when you’re speaking to a mixed Mbaise audience, you need to choose your words carefully but De Emeka Ihedioha took the Mbaiseness in us for granted. He couldn’t even read the mood and countenance of his audience as he spewed the unthinkable.
Do you know how many Peter Obi support groups in Nigeria and abroad that are headed by Mbaise People? Did you know the first local rallies ( apart from City) for Peter Obi were carried out in Mbaise? Talk of Nnarambia Declare for Peter Obi, Mbaise March For Peter Obi, all in July.
Emeka Ihedioha listens to no one, he basks in his own ego and ambitions. If he was sensitive enough, he would have read the mood and understood the standpoint of his People ( Mbaise and Igbos) when it comes to the presidential election. He feels whatever he says becomes the order of the day as if people don’t have a mind of their own; as if he is talking to morons.
All I can say is that I’m highly disappointed and deeply hurt by his statements given my respect, and admiration for him; given my personal and unsolicited sacrifices towards his Governorship pursuit.
Emeka Ihedioha has demonstrated he is still an old school Politician who is more vested in Partisan politics than being a Patriot. When Men and Women of Good conscience are rising from different parts of the country and across the globe in support of our own Brother Peter Obi based on competence, our own dear highly esteemed brother is busy demarketing him. He is more interested in his selfish ambition other than saving Millions of Igbos and Nigerians from poverty, insecurity and depression. He is not concerned about the Injustice against the Igbos but chose to insult our sensibilities by supporting a Fulani person because of Political affinity and selfish interest. Remember that our own revered Prof. T. Nwala was roundly insulted by people who could be his Children because of Emeka Ihedioha’s previous unguided comments against Igbo interest which was fiercely denied and smartly managed.
Well, like I said before in a previous post, this is the last stroke that broke the Camel”s back, he just insulted all Mbaise People and Imolites who voted him as Governor regardless of their different Political Parties when he boldly said there are only two political parties. Come to think of it, during the protests and agitations following his unjust removal as Governor, I don’t remember seeing his grown son on the street of Imo State or elsewhere. I don’t remember seeing Tamvuwal or Atiku on the streets but I saw Peter Obi agitating for his own brother and against injustice.
It’s so easy for you not to care about the mess APC and PDP have put us into when you are a major beneficiary of the status quo. To be candid, I see no difference between APC and PDP given that they are made up of the same corrupt, selfish and incompetent politicians who only see Politics as a game.
Thank God Peter Obi has disrupted the status quo, we now have a third force and the true people’s Party in Labour Party. In fact, Labour Party is beyond a Political party, it’s a Movement.
Our mumu Don do, we shall respond appropriately to De Emeka Ihedioha in his own coin when the time comes. Meanwhile, hope you are getting ready for the October 1st Nation Wide Rally for Peter Obi as we March for Freedom.
God be with us, a New Nigeria with Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti is Possible.
Yours Obidiently,
Wisdom Anyanwu (Mr. Wiz)
