Ohanaeze Ndigbo has declared Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode as number one enemy of Ndigbo.
The development is sequel to the
demolition of Oshodi market, which is believed to be largely occupied by
Ndigbo on the first week of the New Year.
National President of the Ohanaeze Youth
Council, OYC, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, made the declaration alongside
the National Secretary, Okwu Nnabuike saying Ambode by his actions had
drawn a battle line between himself and the entire Igbo land.
“It is instructive to observe here that
contrary to all principles of common justice, the traders were merely
given few days quit notice. It is equally shocking that the government
chose such a wrong time for the demolition exercise, thereby not only
taking the shops from them but making sure that their wares were
looted.”
“We are forced to ask: could this be the
starting point in implementing Oba of Lagos’s earlier threat during the
election period that Ndigbo would be thrown into the Lagoon? Could it
be another round of deportation of exercise, similar to what former
governor Fashola did? These appear to be so considering that a witch
cried in the night and a child died in the morning.”
The All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has said that Governor Ayodele Fayose
lacked the democratic credentials and integrity to accuse President
Muhammadu Buhari of being tyrannical and constituting a threat to the
survival of democracy in the Country.
Fayose had on Monday described as dictatorial, the President's handling of cases involving the Deputy Governor-elect in Kogi State, James Faleke; Senate President, Bukola Saraki; and former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, among others, adding that the roles of the DSS under the nose of President Buhari were clearly undemocratic, tyrannical and a threat to the survival of democracy.
He also accused the civil rights groups of keeping silent while the President allegedly abused the rights of fellow Nigerians.
But a statement by Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, faulted Fayose's tirade against the President, saying Fayose was the least to raise a finger in defence of democracy based on his antecedents as a 'reckless promoter of anti-democratic conduct.'
Describing the governor as a man suffering from the diarrhea of the mouth, he said: 'Governor Fayose, clearly unfit to be a governor, should be the least to complain about anti-democratic conduct because he is the greatest threat to democracy in Nigeria based on his serial breaking of the provisions of the Constitution of Nigeria.
'It is laughable that as shameless as Fayose is, he is now accusing the civil rights groups of keeping silent in the defence of the purported abuse of the rights of Nigerians by the President and we wonder what the governor's legal backers said or did when he was serially breaking the laws of the nation in the last one year to the shock of Nigerians.
'Fayose invaded the court with thugs to beat up a judge and tear court records in the Chief Judge's office and used seven lawmakers to illegally impeach a Speaker in the Assembly of 26 members.
'He used thugs to lay siege to the Assembly to prevent 19 APC members to attend House plenary sessions for six months and used seven PDP members to illegally pass the budget and confirm his commissioner-nominees while also arbitrarily cancelling programmes legally backed by the Assembly laws without recourse to the same Assembly for repeal of such laws and topped it with storming the Assembly with the gavel to pass a budget he presented in illegal manner to the shock of Nigerians and the world
