A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Okwesilieze Nwodo, on Friday, attacked diapora-based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Nwodo, who was also a former Governor of Enugu State, condemned Ekpa for allegedly masterminding the horror ongoing in the southeast region under the guise of sit-at-home.
“Ekpa, with some of his supporters went about causing havoc and destroying lives and properties.
“That was disloyal of him and his actions tantamount to complete disrespect for the South East and the IPOB family.
“Normally, his action should be considered criminal and the security agencies are supposed to arrest him for investigation and prosecution,” Vanguard quotes Nwodo as saying.
He added: “The public has rejected his destructive antics and that was why his sit-at-home order was ignored.
“He is going from place to place attacking people for no just cause.
“Just the way people ignored his five-day sit-at-home order, his no-election order in South East would be ignored. Did he calculate the economic loss before he ordered people not to go to work for five days?
“Now, people lost their lives, others were injured and properties destroyed as a result of that. The same person comes back to say that there would be no elections in South East in 2023. Why should we not vote for our leaders? Is he going to conduct another election? How do we expect leaders from South East to emerge if we don’t go to the polls to vote for them?
“His order is the height of irresponsibility.”
