November 4, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi
Dim Emeka Ojukwu, yesterday came under fire as a group of ex- Biafran soldiers and the elders forum of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Anambra State, berated him for threatening a second civil war, should the Appeal Court, Enugu, declare Dr. Andy Uba, Governor-in- waiting, tomorrow.
Addressing reporters, spokesman for the ex-Biafran soldiers, Chief Ejike Nwankwo, who served under Senator Anieto Okon during the war, described as unfortunate, the recent utterances of Ojukwu, threatening war, when Nigerians and Anambra State in particular were busy trying to move the country forward.
“We are pained to hear Odumegwu Ojukwu talk about another civil war, when most of us came back from that war walking on crutches. And he doesn’t even ask how we are fairing.
Ikemba lost command of the war when we lost the war. He should go to the Federal Government to see how our welfare could be addressed, like the leaders in the Niger Delta are doing for their people.
“He can not reduce the entire South East and South-South to Anambra. He has become an APGA slave because he has lost command. He can not threaten the court, neither can he threaten the entire country.”
