The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has justified the suspension of the traditional ruler of Neni, Igwe Damian Ezeani in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State by Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
Ezeani conferred a chieftaincy title on the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Chief Ifeanyi Ubah, who is being rumoured to be eyeing the state’s governorship seat in 2025.
This coming barely 24 hours after the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state had asked the governor to reinstate the embattled monarch, faulting and describing the suspension as an attempt to cow the traditional institutions and drag it into the murky waters of Anambra politics.
Speaking with one THE RAZOR Editors on telephone about the development, Senator Ubah
said Soludo was simply playing politics, adding that the governor was frustrated about his(Ubah’s) growing political profile.
However, justifying Soludo’s action,
National Coordinator of APGA Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe said,
“Ifeanyi Ubah as a matter of fact does not deserve to be honoured with Chieftaincy title by any sensible traditional ruler.
Chronicling Ubah’s infractions, Obigwe said a man like Ubah who had the effrontery to deceived and disappointed the church should not be honoured in anyway howsoever.
Obigwe who stated these a statement made available to our correspondent on Tuesday said virtually all Ubah’s business associates had ugly stories to tell about the APC Senator.
Obigwe’s statement reads in part, “The painful truth I will force down the throat of some people in the drowning camp of Ifeanyi Ubah that are politicising the suspension of Damian Ezeani, the traditional ruler of Neni is that ifeanyi Ubah does not deserve to be honoured with a traditional title.
Let’s not forget that this ifeanyi Ubah we are talking of is someone his own brother Cosmas Mmaduka told the whole world that his worst mistake in life is helping him secure loan from bank.
“That transaction ended up being a fraudulent one and Cosmas Mmaduka felt betrayed by someone he tried to help as a brother.
“It is not only Cosmas Mmaduka that is telling this same story. Chief Gabriel Chukwuma that is popularly known as Gabros is telling whomever that cares to listen that his business dealings with this same ifeanyi Ubah ended in him also feeling betrayed.
“Many people that did business with Ifeanyi Ubah will advise you not to make the mistake they made.”
Çontinuing , Obigwe said, “The Church is telling the same story about ifeanyi Ubah. Nnewi Catholic diocese will tell you that the Ifeanyi Ubah they know is not a man of honour that he made a promise of building Cathedral for them,destroyed the one they have and failed to fulfil his promise.
“But he ended up abandoning the project.As we speak, Nnewi Catholic diocese parishioners are now the ones executing the Cathedral project after being disappointed by ifeanyi Ubah .
“Such a dishonourable character does not deserve to be honoured with a Chieftaincy title by any sensible and reasonable traditional ruler.”
