– Describes the Purported Endorsement as Irrelevant, Petty, Childish, Huge Joke
-Accuses them of Collecting 2m each to append signature
Respected Scholar, elder statesman and nationalist, Prof Titus Uzondu Nwala has said that those that purportedly endorsed Hope Uzodinma for a second term are known APC card carrying elders, who took the action to guarantee their stomach infrastructure.
Prof Nwala therefore described the action as not only a charade, petty, childish, irrelevant and a huge joke, but an exercise in futility.
He said that a boardroom meeting that had known APC card carrying members like, Chief Cletus Ilomuanya, Louis Alozie, Chief Jude Obidegwu, Sir Mike Obioha, Chief Alex Mbakwe, Engr Sonnie Hart-Ibeh, Chief Eze Akano, Prof Osy Nwebo, Chief Henry Njoku, and Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, in attendance, who are known politicians has more to be desired.
According to the Varsity Don who is also an Imo indigene, the purported endorsement of Senator Uzodinma was only carried out by his party members and should not be seen as a decision taken by the entire Imo elders.
Nwala, a known advocate of good governance said that if reasonable elders were involved in considering the unity of the state, they would have looked into the Imo charter of Equity and endorsed an Owerri candidate for Governor.
Prof Nwala further revealed that information available to him showed that those championing the endorsement charade were induced with N2 million each, adding that instead of them to canvass for a credible person to rescue the state from insecurity, and economic woes, the APC elders were busy paving way for Uzodinma.
He regretted that those behind the purported endorsement of Uzodinma for second term from Orlu and part of Okigwe zones have never accessed their homes in the last one year due to incessant killings and kidnapping occasioned by insecurity.
He therefore wondered what benefits those endorsing a man that is incapable of protecting the lives and property of Imo people would derive, and challenged them to go to their respective villages and stay for an hour now that insecurity is over to prove him wrong.
