Okwu’s insult on Ojukwu ’ll hunt him –APGA chieftain Our Reporter April 15, 2013 12 Comments » From PETRUS OBI, Enugu Igbo elder statesman and former deputy national chairman, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Onwuka Ukwa has warned those linked with the reported insult on the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu to tender immediate apology or have themselves to blame. Factional Chairman of APGA, Chief Maxi Okwu had in his post-election speech at the party’s convention in Awka, last Monday, described Ojukwu as an extremist, saying his (Okwu’s) leadership of the party would adopt non- extremists philosophy of the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Okwu said: “Political reality in Nigeria does not favour extremism.” Speaking to newsmen in Enugu at the weekend, Ukwa recalled that Okwu’s abuse of Ojukwu was quite similar to the insult by Dr. Chuba Okadigbo on the legendry Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe (Zik), whose remarks, he (Okadigbo) dismissed as “the ranting of the ants.” He said Okadigbo was then a member of the ruling National Party of Nigeria (NPN), and also a notable political aide to former president Shehu Shagari in the Second Republic. He said the same way Okadigbo’s insult on Zik hunted him (Okadigbo) throughout his political career, apparently was the way Okwu’s abuse of Ojukwu would hunt him except he retracted the statement. According to Ukwa, “it was even more unfortunate that Okwu insulted Ojukwu in the presence of Governor Obi,” who he said, sat there watching and never called him to order. Ukwa insisted that Okwu and his cohorts needed “to quickly retract the statement. “It’s a serious concern to both the party and Ndigbo that Maxi Okwu of yesterday will describe our hero, Dim Emeka Ojukwu as an extrimist; I don’t see Ojukwu’s struggle for the cause of his own people as that of an extremist. It’s so unfortunate he made such disrespectful and insulting statement on a man who was given a hero’s burial a year ago.” 12 Comments Kalu April 15, 2013 at 2:25 pm - Reply A mother duck was walking in front of the little ducks, the youngest of the ducks got angry and said the their mother is only waving her yansh (bottom) instead of walking well.
