Counter Rejoinder: Government Dehumanization of a Catholic Priest

My attention has been drawn to a rejoinder advertorial on the “NIGERIAN HORN” newspapers edition of September 1-2, 2010 page 10, “DAILY SUN” newspapers edition of September 2, 2010 page 15, “NEWSPOINT” newspapers edition of September 2-5, 2010 page 9 and “ANNOUNCER” newspapers edition of September 1-2, 2010 page 13. It was captioned “RE: GOVERNMENT DEHUMANIZATION OF CATHOLIC PRIEST and Sponsored by a so called Imo State based “OWERRI POWER CLUB” but signed by Chief Paul .C. Nnawuchi (The owe of Owerri) as President General and Prince Agu Uwandu asSecretary General.

I wouldn’t have bothered to join issues with this so called “OWERRI POWER CLUB” bearing in mind that the signatures of the two individuals mentioned above were truly superimposed on the said advertorial. Again the address of the club given as “PLOT 475 Trans Egbu Owerri – Imo State” does not exist. Again after a careful investigation, I also discovered that the advertorial content was written by Mr. Ethelbert Okere, Special Assistant to Governor Ikedi Ohakim on Documentation, but he chose to use the names of Chief Paul .C. Nnawuchi and Prince Azu Uwandu as signatories hiding under the “OWERRI POWER CLUB, whatever that means.

Now to the main issue of this write-up.

It should be noted that the assault on Rev. Fr. Eustace Okorie has confirmed also that Mr. Ikedi Ohakim and his fraud infested government in Imo State have no respect for anybody or institution in the state. The scandal that followed this assault on Rev. Fr. Okorie can only be roughly equated to the assault on this writer by Ikedi Ohakim himself in his Office at gun point. As a face saving strategy, Ohakim ran away from Imo State, exactly what he did when he assaulted this writer.

On the paragraph 8 (eight) of the so called advertorial, Mr. Ethelbert Okere wrote as follows, inter-alia “it is even sheer wickedness to insinuate that Governor Ikedi Ohakim has been brutalizing Imo indigenes since 2007 that he took office. In the case of the carefully fabricated Mr. Ikenna Samuelson’s story which is now a reference case, no Chief Executive can stomach the youth’s tissue of lies which he bandies on internet and pages of newspapers with reckless tact and also Mr. Maximus Uba’s who started the opposition though with reason has now abandoned the camp of the opposition and has since embraced reason after the supreme court judgment”. Unquote. The above quote is actually why I am doing this write-up. Mr. Ethelbert Okere is always fond of hiding under other people’s names and amorphous group to launch his misguided bare-faced lies with the intention of deceiving the reading public. It should be noted that it was this poor intellectual handling of crisis in the state that made Ikedi Ohakim to sack Dr. Amanze Obi as information commissioner. The more Amanze Obi told lies, the more it became evident that I was truly assaulted by the shameless debilitating monster (Ikedi Ohakim). Few months ago the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Henry Ekpe also tried this segmented lies by defending Ohakim. But I dealt with him ruthlessly in my rejoinder. Since then Henry Ekpe has been licking his wounds. The current information commissioner Dr. Kelechi Okpaleke did try some weeks ago to bend this truth of Ohakim’s assault on me. But Nigerians were not deceived, hence my junior at Government Secondary School Owerri (Mr. Joachin Ezeji) responded in his well published article by putting Dr. Kelechi Okpaleke to where he rightly belongs. I have also on my part done a comprehensive investigations and write-up on Dr. Kelechi Okpaleke but decided not to publish it when his close friend appealed to me not to make it public. It is equally on record that Ikedi Ohakim hired over 15 writers to “help” him combat me and deny that he assaulted this writer in his office. But when these people found out the undiluted truth, they simply stepped aside from Ikedi Ohakim’s propaganda media deception.

Therefore I am not in any way shocked by Ikedi Ohakim’s constant and shameless denial on his assault on me. His recent attempt through Ethelbert Okere under the cover of “OWERRI POWER CLUB” and signed by Chief Paul .C. Nnawuchi and Prince Azu Uwandu will as usual be defeated by my truth which has remained constant. Once again I hereby attach my open letter to Mr. President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan on my assault by Ikedi Ohakim. (See attached). I am also calling on all the Security agencies to make public the confessional statements ofPolice Commissioner Aloysius Okorie and the Lady state director of SSS. These two people and others mentioned in my account witnessed the assault on me by this rogue governor. All the people I mentioned in my account have confessed that Ikedi Ohakim did it. The truth of the whole episode is that Ikedi Ohakim has tried everything under the sun to bully and blackmail me into submission and possibly force me to recant my account but I have stoutly stood my ground. Truth is constant while other things are mere ordinary variables. Let me also make it clear that I will go to any length humanly and inhumanly possible to deal with Ikedi Ohakim. As 2011 is at the corner, Ohakim’s shadows and demonic atrocities are pursuing him. He knows that he can no longer contest elections again, hence he is using force. For sure there will be resistance in Imo State. This is why the Federal Government must order the security agencies to make their report public. The people of Imo State can no longer afford to continue to have an irresponsible criminal like Ikedi Ohakim as governor.

I cannot conclude this rejoinder without letting the world to know that after reading that advertorial, I placed a phone call on Chief Paul .C. Nnawuchi and questioned him why he allowed his signature to be superimposed on the said advertorial. He responded by saying, “ABOKI, you know Ohakim has POWER. If you refuse to make peace with him, he will give one useless man two million naira to assassinate you. Maximus Uba has made peace with him. Ohakim has equally apologized to Rev. Fr. Eustace Okorie. We know he flogged you in his office at government house but we are just playing along”. Unquote.

I called Chief Paul Nnawuchi on phone by 8:22pm on 1st September 2010 and we spoke for roughly 5 minutes. This can be confirmed from MTN computer log book. Chief Paul Nnawuchi’s number is 08033426737 while my number is 07032934037.

On Mr. Maximus Uba’s romance with Ikedi Ohakim lately, I have my reservations. But the truth is that Maximus Uba suddenly jumped into “political bed” with Ikedi Ohakim “unprotected”. I just hope and pray he doesn’t get infected with “Ohakim virus”. He is still my friend, elder brother and uncle.

Finally, the problems of Imo State are largely anchored on Poverty, unemployment and Conflicts. I have paid my dues by using God’s given initiatives and talents to propound and proffer solutions to these variable problems confronting the state. (See attached (i) Poverty in Imo State (ii) Unemployment in Imo State (iii) Conflict Resolutions in Imo State). And I will continue to proffer solutions by remaining in the opposition whether Ikedi Ohakim likes it or not, until a politically anointed man of God becomes the governor of Imo State come 2011. Afterall, opposition is the beauty of democracy. (See attached)
