Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, the Spiritual Leader of Igbo Nation has lashed out at Engr. David Umahi, the Minister of Works over his comment that Mr Peter Obi was inciting Igbo against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party and leading opposition leader had criticised the decision of the Federal Government to construct a coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar when most existing internal roads in the country were in bad state and needed reconstruction.

But in a response, Umahi instead of responding to Issues raised by Obi alleged that he was misleading Igbo and inciting them against the Federal Government.

Ezeonwuka said Umahi should not sacrifice the Igbo Nation in his quest to be sent as a loyal servant of the President and sustain his political relevance warning that those who tried in the past all had sad and shameful end.

He said he had no problems with Umahi trying to service the ego of his master but it must not be at the risk of the collective destiny of Igbo people.

Ezeonwuka who is the founder of the Ogilisi Igbo Foundation, an Igbo Socio Cultural organisation, said Tinubu had received the greatest support from Igbo people when they refused to join the nationwide protest against harsh policies which would have not only bring his government to its knees but throw the country into crisis.

He said the Coastal highway had been condemned by many including Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of PDP as misplaced priority and waste of money and wondered why Umahi should single out Obi for blackmail

“I condemn the blackmail of Mr Peter Obi by Dave Umahi, the Minister of Works and warn him to stop forthwith, he should not try to use Igbo to service his selfish political interest because, nobody who did what he is doing in the past survived it, he should check history.

“He cannot set the Igbo against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, good friends in Igbo land and Peter has good friends across Nigeria, so, his allegation against Obi is not only false but idiotic and should be withdrawn immediately.

“Umahi can enjoy his spoil of politics but must not do that with the blackmail of Peter or Igbo, I therefore call on Igbo stakeholders to condemn.this rascality against Igbo by Umahi and call him to order, Igbo have had enough of this madness,’’ he said

Ezeonwuka said Umahi should concentrate on his ministerial work and avoid sabotaging and jeopardising the interest of Igbo describing Igbo as a deputy which nobody tries to rubbish with serious consequences.

David Umahi knows the truth,

Can this slow pokes take a look at the 2024 budget and tell us if provision was not made for rehabilitation of over 200KM of federal roads which includes the East-West road road Obi has been bleating about?, the same east west road that work has even started on.

How can an opposition leader not know the budget of the government he is opposing?
Are these guys from the East sick in the head?

Obi and his minions never said anything when the Second Niger bridge was under construction despite the fact that Awka-Enugu was in a mess. The only reason they are bleating is because the "COASTAL ROAD" is not going through the East. It's a coastal road for God's sake, you guys are not along the coast.

The Abuja-Keffi-Makurdi just got completed and the Enugu-Otupko is on the way. Many other Federal roads are getting a face lift. These roads were clearly stated in the 2024 budget. Obviously Obi never saw the 2024 budget.
What an interesting opposition.

I spit on These people from that part of the country Abeg. Brain dead folks

MrEverest:


Look at this thing saying gibberish. People that have no iota of integrity nor honour among them. How can one tribe have criminals, drug lords, smugglers, yahoo yahoo fraudsters, louts, skull miners and ritualists as their leaders

I really find it disturbing how you guys have totally lost it to the extent that you all are comfortable supporting all manner of criminals to be your leaders. From Tinubu to IB Dende, MC Oluomo to Obas and politicians, people that would be serving life in prison in sane climes yet they’re worshipped in Yorubaland.


Spit!!!

This is exactly why I said you are sick in the head.
You came to accuse me of being a yoruba, you hate for the yoruba man is so bad that anyone who tell you the truth that you hate is a yoruba man, I am not a Yoruba man sir.

The Igbos are in every prison all over the world , some are being hung daily for drugs yet the Igbo man is the one who feels he has the bragging right to call yorubas drug dealers, you are sick in the head.

Touting became so bad in the east that east that one of your governor's had to set up a taskforce just for touts,because one cannot even walk past upper iweka safely.

With the level of underdevelopment in the east, same east with past governor's like Ugwuayi, Epkeazu, Obiano (who was trying to run and got caught like a chicken at the airport) I the Eastern man is not sick in the head he would not be calling yoruba politicians criminals.

Talking about MC Oluomo, I think you Easterners should actually take a lesson from these, it's shows how organised yoruba land is, their touts have a leader, it means they have a structure, it means the touts are organised, that way the government don't need to set up a task force to chase them around, they just speak to their leaders unlike the East.

Lastly if the Eastern man is not sick in the head he would have addressed the issues I raised instead of bleating insults on the yoruba man....

Your comment shows how sick you guys are in the head

What arrant nonsense is this? So, if you criticize Obi that means you are against Ndigbo?
What type of shallow thinking is this? Is Umahi himself not Igbo?
This is sycophancy taken too far.

Obi cannot even win against MC Oluomo. MC Oluomo is far more likely to become president than Obi.

Sure, in the land where criminals are celebrated, louts like Mc oluomo and drug lords like Tinubu will win, but in the East, such criminals are not tolerated.

You really should be ashamed of yourself and tribe for worshiping such disgusting elements.


Spit!

Another Agbado who can’t reason normally. He was referring to Umahi who mentioned Igbos on an issue that doesn’t concern them. Can’t you understand simple English?

I know it's hard for Obidients to understand anything. Calm down, take a deep breath and read the bolded paragraph again.

Family business.

Umahi as an Igboman will live to regret that useless & baseless accusations against PO & our close door neigbours & brothers

Those before him did more & said more but history & reality are teaching them a bitter lesson already

90% of those convicted or arrested for drugs both in Nigeria and Abroad are your tribesmen. So what are you saying. Even the Asia countries now know that it is not all Nigerians are drug pushers but the Igbos. Same in South Africa.
You and your dumb heads are always welcoming home celebrating them and you're here typing rubbish.

Did you listen to what umahi said?, I guess not, cos if you did, you would not have written this nonsense

ElSudani:

Because of tribalism.

Umahi Umahi Umahi ..

Okay na...

You spit on a people because of the ambition of one Man?? I wonder how you were raised. The hate is massive and you need healing. That said, you cannot claim not to have igbos as business partners, colleagues or acquaintances. Yet you cannot separate people from politics. You are a terrible student of history, a tribal and ethnic slowpoke with half baked education that is incapable of any form of critical thinking.

Nigerianization:

F
You proved me right again....

Now you deny Obi, you have him 99% votes in the east and beat up the few who didn't vote, I saw an old man being brutalized and today you are here saying it's the ambition of one man?


You Didn't address the issue raised but came to rain insult, always trying to change goal post. Why not come here with superior point and say I am wrong, yet you came to show support, this is exactly why you all cannot be separated.
I have Igbo friends and you have no idea how they hate the Igbo man mentality. You call their like SABO. Because they stand against this your general sickness.
One of my Igbo friends never buys things from Igbos, he will constantly remind me that he is Igbo and he knows his people better than mec

Umahi laid a false and baseless accusation against Obi. That Obi is inciting the Igbos against the Government.

Obi is entitled to his own opinion. By the way was Obi the only one that criticise the project, Atiku and other people did, because they believe the timing is wrong.

Why would Umahi single out Obi?

Very typical of you. Slow to understanding and quick to speak. First of, the spitting you did earlier affect your Igbo friends too. That's the danger of hasty generalisation and stereotype that only half educated people do. Secondly, the ambition of the one man I was talking about was Asiwaju's ambition. If you had read clearly, you will understand better.

Thirdly, there's nothing like Igbo man mentality. Tell me, what is the Yoruba man's mentality? Thuggery? If you believe that millions of people can be categorized as one yet you single some of them out as your friends, what does that say about your level of education and reasoning. The numbers of igbos online is less than 20 percent of the total population of igbos, yet you blame them all.

Are you also aware that the number of Omoluabis online is not significant to blanket all Yoruba with the same stereotype? Same for the arewa community.

Please tell your Igbo friends that you spat on them, their parents and their loved ones of Igbo extraction. You are truly a good friend.

Finally, I will never deny Peter Obi. He was my candidate and I voted for him. However, politics is over and those of you who have no life outside politics should continue to heat up the polity.

I was only attracted to you spitting on the entire Igbo nation as if you have the power to so do. You must think of yourself as a liquid metal. The indabosky bahose.
