ARCHBISHOP of Enugu Province of the Anglican Communion Reverend Emmanuel Chukwuma has criticised Imo State governor Rochas Okorocha as a sellout who has betrayed Ndigbo just because he wants to replace deputy senate president Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
According to Archbishop Chukwuma, Governor Okorocha wants to replace Senator Ekweremadu but he will be disowned by the Igbo people if he does not apologise. He added that Governor Okorocha ran into trouble with a section of Igbo speaking Nigerians who have threatened to disown him over his plot to remove Senator Ekweremadu.
Speaking when members of the National Association of Nigerian Students, (Nans) visited him in Enugu, Archbishop Chukwuma said that Governor Okorocha does not have the experience to be senate deputy senate president. He then called on the governor to apologise to the senator for harassing him.
Archbishop Chukwuma said: “The person who is going to the Senate under the All Progressives Congress (APC) is coming just for the first term whether you like it or not, he must come and pay homage to Ekweremadu. How can you as a governor who is just sponsoring one person, for the first time be threatening that you will remove Ekweremadu? It is not possible.
“What I am saying is that Okorocha should apologise and he should know that he is either an Igbo man or a bastard Igbo. He is a bastard Igbo if he does not apologize and we are ready to disown him because he is not in the same page with us as an Igbo man and if he was sent by agents from outside, they have failed.”
Governor Okorocha, who is the chairman of the APC governors’ forum, has vowed to remove Senator Ekweremadu and replace him with a senator-elect from Imo state. He made the resolve at a meeting the APC governors had with President Muhammadu Buhari and other stakeholders in the Aso Rock presidential villa on July 26.
