Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s Fiery Words for ADC
Ohanaeze Ndigbo isn’t holding back. They’re calling the ADC a “certified congregation of strange bedfellows” who are only after power. According to them, these guys are more interested in grabbing everything for themselves than helping Nigerians. Ouch!
Is ADC Just a Power Grab in Disguise?
The group claims that many within the ADC have a history of corruption and a thirst for political power, also alleging some involvement in sponsoring violence in Nigeria. They question the ADC’s ability to defeat a president like Tinubu.
Past Sins: Will They Haunt ADC Hopefuls?
Ohanaeze is bringing up old wounds. They’re reminding Atiku Abubakar of his actions against the Southeast during the 2022 PDP primaries. They also want Nasir El-Rufai to answer for the violence against Igbo Christians in Southern Kaduna during his time as governor. And Chibuike Amaechi? He needs to explain why he favored other regions with better rail lines while neglecting the East.
Igbo Support for Tinubu: A Done Deal?
Ohanaeze is making it clear: the Igbo people are sticking with President Tinubu. They’re denying any support for the ADC in the upcoming 2027 elections. This decision was made during the Igbo Day celebrations in Asaba, where Igbo leaders decided to back Tinubu’s administration.
Key Players Delivering for Tinubu
Ohanaeze highlights ministers and associates of President Tinubu who they believe are doing a great job. They mention figures like Dr. Bello Matawelle (Minister of State for Defence) and Mallam Nuhu Ribadu (National Security Adviser) who they expect to win big in the North. In the Southeast, they’re counting on Senator Dave Umahi (Minister of Works) to deliver the zone to Tinubu.
NDDC Scandal: Time for Answers?
Ohanaeze is also calling on President Tinubu to release the withheld forensic investigation reports on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). They bring up allegations against Mrs. Judith Amaechi, wife of Chibuike Amaechi, accusing her of dubious dealings within the NDDC. The claim that she collected huge monthly payments for fake projects is too serious to ignore, according to Ohanaeze.
What’s Next?
The political climate is heating up, and Ohanaeze’s statement adds fuel to the fire. Will the ADC respond to these accusations? Will the investigation into the NDDC be reopened? Only time will tell.
Did You Know? The NDDC was established in 2000 to address the developmental challenges in the Niger Delta region, which is rich in oil but has suffered from environmental degradation and underdevelopment. However, the commission has been plagued by allegations of corruption and inefficiency.
