The President General of the Enugwu-Ukwu Town Union have reacted to the stated the reason why he walked out of the meeting summoned by Senator Iyom Ekwunife to address PGs of Anambra Central on Saturday 26/03/22.
Earlier we brought you a report in which Ekwunife had summoned a meeting of PGs, of different towns in Anambra State and had verbally attacked Enugwu-Ukwu.
The camp of Ekwunife had claimed such didn’t happen.
To that effect, Comrade Bonny Ozo Nkwuaku, PG, Enugwu-Ukwu had reacted, stating his reasons for walking out of a meeting which he felt was intended to verbally attack his town, a town in which he represents.
Below is his reaction:
*1.* Prayers were said, colanut rituals observed.
*2.* Distinguished Senator began her address on a very good note. She maintained that the meeting was not political, but rather to interact with the PGs of Anambra Central, thereafter she said that the invitess should purge themselves of any political inclinations; APC, PDP or APGA. This statement elicited applause from the floor.
*3.* She mentioned some projects executed and those yet to be executed and solicited for the cooperation of PGs, another applause.
*4.* Then she began to deviate.
*5.* She said that no Rep or Senator can attract anything meaningful to his/her Constituency or Senatorial zone, except if he or she is a member of either APC or PDP.
*6.* That somebody (she didn’t mention name), sometime ago replaced her in the Senate through Court Process and that, that person was made Deputy Chairman of Senate Committee on Labour compared to a more lucrative Committee Chairmanship she was occupying before her exit.
*7.* Turning to where I was seated, she said, “your brother Dozie Nwankwo, even if he stays 20 years in the House of Reps, he can’t achieve half of what I achieved during my tenure in the same House”.
*8.* That nobody from Enugwu-Ukwu can do for Enugwu-Ukwu what she has done for the Community.
*9.* She further said that in Enugwu-Ukwu where Dozie Nwankwo comes from, he doesn’t have any meaningful project there.
*10.* At this point, I felt, I have heard enough. I wanted to interrupt her but I was ignored. It was at this point that I beckoned of VPG Nibo Mr. Bertrand Anene, who was seated beside me and also signaled the attention of Chairman ASATU Central, Mr. Ike Ofokansi that I want to walk out of the meeting. In spite subtle pleas from the duo, I decided that I must walk out of the meeting in protest, so I walked from my seat, went in front of the Senator, took a bow and left.
*11.* I later got an information after my exit, that she told the Chairman of ASATU Central and some PGs seated at the high table with her that what I have just done was typical of Enugwu-Ukwu character and that we never support her aspirations.
*12.* My reasons for walking out are embedded in points 7, 8 and 9 above, especially point 8.
*13.* I cannot however vouch for point 11 above because I had gone out when it was said, therefore it is a reported speech.
*14.* Some image saving measures had be going on since Sunday among some PGs allegedly sponsored by Madam Senator to hide the truth in this matter. None of them has answered the question of why i walked out of the meeting.
*15.* I can say this anywhere I am called upon. I cannot stay in a place where my Community is ridiculed and you expect me to keep calm. On the issue of video you asked about, as far as you are in that Centre for this kind of function and inside the hall, you are not allowed to video or snap. It is only her official camera man and video man that can do such.
Thank you my brother,
Comrade Bonny Ozo Nkwuaku,
PG, Enugwu-Ukwu.
