TAKING BACK OUR SOVEREIGNTY FROM THE HANDS OF POLITICAL SCAVENGERS MASQUERADING AS POLITICAL LEADERS.
For a while now, we have watched patiently, but with a rare tolerance, the activities of our political class. They have received time and time again great opportunities to use their political positions for the benefit of those they claim to represent. Rather than use the goodwill given to them by the people or in certain cases mandates stolen from their rightful owners to initiate projects that will benefit their immediate community or constituency, they chose to mock and ridicule the same people who entrusted to them the political goodwill believing that no one can call them to order, that none can hold them accountable.
They viewed our patience as timidity and our tolerance as weakness. They believed that we are at their mercy and do not posses the means to call them to account. They became so reckless in their anti-people activities and so disdainful of the needs and wellbeing of our people. Still, we waited, ever so patiently with a flicker of hope that these men and women who were entrusted with the future and wellbeing of our people will one day come to the realisation that history is never kind to those who abuse and misuse the opportunity given to them by providence. As our waiting days turned into weeks and then into months and finally into years, these men and women feeling so secure in their political carriers, began to insult our sensibilities with their brazen and unconscionable falsehood.
Entered Orji Uzor Kalu the spokesperson of the gang of polithiefians, honourable Benjamin Kalu who prides himself and takes so much joy to the fact that he is the number six man in the political hierarchy of the Zoological Republic of Nigeria, but has nothing to show in terms of political benefit to his constituency, Hope Uzodinma, who is not satisfied with the fact that he is a usurper and beneficiary of a stolen mandate, now also wants to be a Commander in Chief of a band of militia being prepared to enthrone him as the God father of Imo politics.
In Anambra we have Chukwuma Soludo who has shown that certificates do not necessarily translate to capacity and ability to build a “Dubia of Africa.” In Ebonyi State we have Nwaifuru who does not have what it takes to be a local government councillor, beholding to David Umahi and cannot leave his house if David Umahi has not given him the green light. Then we have the Toms, Dicks, and Harrys in the Nigerian National Assembly (Senate and House of Representatives alike).
These band of political opportunists and misfits, usually consumed and motivated by greed and envy, men and women without dignity and without honour and having lost every modicum of shame like a harlot who shaved her eyebrows, vultures and vampires scavenging under the political table of the Nigerian state to outdo themselves in spilling the blood of IGBO SONS and DAUGHTERS, are united in their hatred for any genuine development in Igboland that will benefit Ndigbo. When politicians like Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodor Orji, Benjamin Kalu and their likes gather to tell shameless lies and fight the only governor since Michael Okpara and Dee Sam Mbakwe in the person of Governor Alex Otti that understands what political leadership and responsibility as it relates to working for the people and your immediate constituency entails, one does not need any soothsayer to understand that these political hyenas have no empathy to the daily struggle and suffering of our people.
These politicians are very much aware that different rules apply when it comes to the Eastern region as against other parts of Nigeria, but you will never hear them raise a voice of complaint because keeping quiet guarantees their continuous relevance in the Nigerian political equation to the detriment of their people.
These Politicians are fully cognisant of the fact that Igbo Entrepreneurs with the exception of a very few brave ones amongst them, are compelled to locate their businesses outside of Igboland, they are mindful of the fact that Igbo businessmen are compelled to make a punitive yearly payment to Northern Nigeria as people defeated in war akin to what African countries under the influence of France are compelled to pay France because they were colonized by France.
These politicians are in the know that companies registered in the East are taxed more than companies registered any other place in Nigeria. If this is not a deliberate policy to discourage the Economic take off of Ala Igbo, they should explain to the world what type of divide and conquer economic policy that is and what they our political representatives have done about it. This same Nigeria that they want us to remain in just released their education curriculum for primary and secondary school children without the language and history of the Igbo being included as part of what our young minds will be taught at their tender age before the eyes of our so-called politicians, the cultural annihilation of our race has become an official government policy and they still claim to represent our interest?
Before now, they have goaded and teased us to hold our politicians to account for the lack of development in our region. Now we will hold them to account and any Igbo man who has some integrity and enjoy some respect from our people must not get involved in this battle to reclaim our land from the hands of those working not for the benefit and wellbeing of the Igbo Nation but rather for the interest of the Sokoto Caliphate. Very soon these polithiefians will start their usual game of political deceit, even those who cannot speak in the gathering of men when Ala Igbo was Ala Igbo are all warming up to go to Abuja to represent Ndigbo and Biafrans in the Nigerian National Assembly. What can a man who is the protegee of Hope Uzodinma and cannot speak where Hope Uzodinma is present do for Ndigbo how can he represent the interest of Ndigbo when his principal is actively working against the general interest of the Igbo people and the Biafran Nation I ask? During my national broadcast to the Biafran people on the 1st of January 2026, I specifically called upon our political representatives in the Nigerian national assembly to commence moves for the peaceful separation of the Biafran territory from Nigeria by raising and initiating a motion at the floor of both the Nigerian Senate and the Nigerian House of Representatives, they heard the demand of the people they claim to represent but chose to ignore our demand to their own detriment.
The Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra will not tolerate further degradation of our essence and values by these politicians who make a caricature of our people every four years by distributing wheelbarrows and cups of rice to spite our collective sensibilities. Any politician of Biafran extraction who does not have the courage to demand for justice for the Biafran people have no business desiring to represent the Biafran people. Any politician who desires to represent our people or to be called our political leader must be able to protect the collective interests of the Biafran people until we are given the democratic opportunity of a REFERENDUM to decide our collective fate as a people. It is indeed time to reclaim our sovereignty from those whose have merchandised our collective interest for their personal interest.
The time for total clean up in other to restore those values and essence that define us as a people is now.
