his resolution was taking by Ohanaeze Ndigbo of Lagos State and it elders to end the unfortunate abuse from Akpati Nse Egbe to the Present President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo of Lagos state, Chief Solomon Ogbonna (Aguene) in Lagos.

It is most unfortunate that we have been confronted recently with the publications of mischief makers and enemies of progress concerning the academic certificate of the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State, Chief Solomon Ogbonna (Aguene)

Advertisment

Ordinary, we would have overlooked the publication because the points raised by the mischief makers were inconsequential, baseless and illogical. More so, their allegations were sentimentalised, not founded on proof and evidence of facts.

However, we have decided to react because it is always good to set the records straight for purposes of history and also to let the general public know the simple truth about the certificate allegation and who actually the principal mischief maker is on Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos State,

Before we proceed, we want to start by making it very clear that the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos does not require academic certificate to lead Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State which is why he never presented or tendered ant certificate to anyone or group because certificate is not needed to run the organization. What is required is speaking Igbo Language fluently, Common wisdom, Intelligence, Human Relations and above all ALTRUISM. As you can confirm, the MAN OF THE MOMENT Chief Solomon Ogbonna has given Ndigbo a very huge voice in Lagos. His personal touch to the lives of Ndigbo in Lagos state is second to none.

It is therefore unnecessary to join issues bordering on blackmail and distraction by a set of disgruntled person/s

Be that as it may, since there was never a time Chief Solomon Ogbonna gave or tendered any academic certificate to anyone during or after the election that brought him into Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership position because there was absolutely no reason to do so. It then means that the mischief makers have some explanation to make to the entire Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State concerning the source of the certificate they are peddling and carrying about to undermine the reputation of the president and Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State at large…

Having said that let it be known that the principal mischief maker Chef John Uche who claims to be the founder of Ohanaezez Ndigbo in Lagos State was never the founder. Even if he was the founder, does it give him the impetus to demolished or set fire to the house he claimed to have built? That is insane of the highest order. John Uche THE IMPOSTER WAS even excommunicated by Prof. Ben Nwabueze the then leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide before Chief Nzewi became the president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State. And John Uche remained excommunicated from all Ohanaeze activities Worldwide before Chief Oliver Akubueze took over from Nzewi.

Records had it that Chief Oliver Akubueze went to Ohanaeze Ndigbo Headquarters Enugu several times pleading tirelessly on behalf of John Uche before Enugu granted Chief Oliver’s request and release John Uche from excommunication bondage. The reason John Uche was excommunicated were linked to extortion, Indiscriminate installation of kingship/Eze in Lagos State, embezzlement of OHANAEZE funds, Questionable, Immoral, Atrocious, Abomination, Unspeakable and Adulterous behaviours with Ohanaeze married women, sabotaging Igbo agenda among others.

We have gathered here today to tell Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide and the world as a while as the Elders in Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State, Ndieze, the executives, chairmen, women, youth and the entire members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos state have taken firm decision never to allow John Uche toil with our peace anymore. Never to allow John Uche set ablaze the house we all suffered to build. Never to allow John continue destroying our values.

In order to achieve the desire peace in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State, we have unanimously decided to EXCOMMUNICATE john Uche henceforth from all activities of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos state.

Henceforth John Uche will never be allowed to attend Ohanaeze activities or event anymore, No Ohanaezez Ndigbo member will eat or dinne with him, no one will even drink ordinary water from John Uche or give him to drink

No Ohanaeze member shall buy from John Uche or sell to home; No Ohanaeze Ndigbo member shall belong to or share the same organization, association or platform with him

No member shall visit John Uche or receive him as a visitor no matter what the condition might be

No Ohanaeze Ndigbo member shall enter the same car, bus or any type of vehicle with John Uche and Any member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State members, Ndi or Onye Eze no matter his or her status or position that goes contrary to the above listed conditions shall cease to be Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State member and all his or her rights, position, grown and entitlement forfeited ad withdrawn.

The elders that sign those communiqué are; Chief Oliver Akabueze, Chief Andy Moore, Chief Sunday Udeh, Chief Mrs Kate Onyechere, Eze Ikem Agbasi, Eze Anthony Anosike, Eze Okpotembe, High Chief Mbamara and Chief Mrs Ade Ofoegbu. They concluded.

The lawmakers commended the President for deciding on no-celebration of his birthday in consideration of the mood of the nation as, according to them, this was the mark of true leadership.

However, the lawmakers said it was important to celebrate the President’s achievements while he was governor of Lagos and his current strides noting that his policies in the State have continued to put Lagos on the global map.

Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, while praying for good health and strength for the President, noted that the successes so far achieved by Lagos can be linked to Tinubu’s wisdom and leadership capacity.

“When Asiwaju Tinubu became governor, we all know how much Lagos was earning. He successfully moved the revenue of the state from N600 million to over N8 billion in 2007. He also set in motion strategies for the upward progression of the revenue generation.

“This is not just about his birthday. It is a celebration of Lagos and where his policies have carried us. The Lagos Red Line rail project was unveiled recently and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu reiterated that the achievement can be attributed to Asiwaju who created the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) while he was governor,” Dr. Obasa said.

The Speaker directed the Clerk of the House, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko, to transmit a congratulatory message to the President on behalf of the lawmakers, staff and management of the Assembly.

In his contribution, the Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Noheem Adams, prayed that the steps currently being taken by the President would bring Nigeria out of its challenges.

While the Deputy Majority Leader, Adedamola Richard Kasunmu, described Tinubu as a compassionate leader, Hon. Sa’ad Olumoh (Ajeromi-Ifelodun 1) said Tinubu’s journey has been one of successes as seen in Lagos and his current administration at the centre. He prayed that the President’s current policies will also be beneficial to every citizen.

On his part, Hon. Sylvester Ogunkelu (Epe 2) recalled how Obasa prayed in 2019 that Tinubu would be president adding that Tinubu had shown his leadership acumen by deciding not to celebrate this year’s birthday.

Hon. Foluke Osafile (Amuwo Odofin 1) commended the President’s current steps while Hon. Adewale Temitope (Ifako Ijaiye 1) prayed that God continue to direct Tinubu’s paths and also keep Lagos lawmakers soaring.

In the spirits of the exigencies of present charged up political topical realities and conversations,I am inherently inclined to ruminate and juggle our consciousness around the personage of Hon Senator M.Okpebholo and his walk towards becoming the Governor of Edo State.

Humanity has always been subsumed,inundated with transformative phases culminating into palpable tangible events and outcomes and leading to positive disruptive developmental changes.

Undoubtedly,ideas visions and actionable goals shapes our world into transcendental growth and transformative developments.

A purposeful and iconoclastic idea whose time has come breaks down all barriers and obstacles to shine and glow into unparalleled unbridled fruition and acceptance.

In this sense,it’s pertinent to encapsulate rather unequivocally that Senator M Okpebholo emergence as the flag bearer of APC in the forthcoming Edo State elections is an idealistic momentous indication of an idea whose time has come-he is the rave of the moment that everyone should reasonably pander to and readily identify with without hesitations or scruples.

Resoundingly loud in the lips of rational citizens and netizens in and beyond Edo State is the very unmistakable ubiquitous voices,agitations,drumming,clamoring,for the easy going,down to earth,soft spoken,unassuming,humane,humbleness personified mien of Hon Senator M Okpebholo whose time has come to become the Governor of Edo State.

Typically,analogically and apparently the difficulties encountered with attempting to stop a moving train is the same struggle and resistance cum obstinacy to be overcome all attempts to stop the movement of SMO trains into Osadebey Avenue.

Interestingly,but ironically rumor mill and social media tends to be irreverently awash with arguments and postulations for or against and about the antecedents and benevolent overtures of SMO in the past as indices,parameters and anecdotes or measuring yardstick for future performances upon emergence as Governor….and l am simply miffed,wondering and asking rhetorically for the umpteenth time a subliminal regurgitation of our memories as to the performances of our erstwhile Governor Oshiomhole Gov Obaseki,Gov Igbinedion,Gov Odigie Oyegun
before they became Governors of Edo State??

I will be stultified and jolted into coalesce,condescension and submission if one can point at a meaningful remembrance of any grandiose project or remarkable charitable contributions they made in their respective local governments or senatorial zones prior to their being elected as Governors.

Suffice to state that I am struggling to decipher the rationale behind the conversation that previous acts of charity and projects done becomes a major political indicator and justification for becoming a Governor of Edo state.

Therefore and rightly so,it aggregates to cheap assailable blackmail all attempts to profile Hon Senator M Okpebolo on the basis of his personal acts of charity as a vicarious lens of assessment and for voting him into Office as Governor or otherwise.

He is irrevocably the beautiful bride of Edo Politics whose time is now.
An impeccable candidate with no baggages.He is his self cheerleader.
He is your everyday people person who operates an open door policy.
He is a rare silent achiever and an astute leader with pedigree of talking less but doing more.
He is an asset and a gift to Edo State

He is not your regular run of the mill boastful politician who speaks with both sides of the mouth denigrating with prism alluring lies uncensored

In the main,the whole essence of political participation is intended to make policy decisions that could shape up and lead to definitive changes,gains and democratic reforms for the generality of the public interest.

And l boldly posit unapologetically that voting Hon Senator M Okpebholo as Governor of Edo State is a wise choice to make come Election Day cos he will walk the talk by matching words with actionable and transformative deliverables of democratic dividends upon becoming the Governor of Edo State.

Akintelure in a statement released by his spokesperson, Oladapo Akintelure, on Thursday, March 21, 2023, said, “Initially, I hope these incidents would dissipate over time, yet regrettably, they have escalated to pose a serious threat to my life”

“The threats against me only strengthen my resolve to stand up for what is right and just. I will not allow fear to dictate our path forward.

“Let us embrace peace, progress, and unity. Our collective strength lies in our to stand together as one, regardless of our differences.”
