Contrary to insinuations that the saboteur comment against Ndigbo by a former Deputy Speaker of House of Representative, Emeka Ihedioha has been wrestled over his purported apology, it is worthy to note that such callous insipid will continue to generate reactions.
Social Analysts had posited that Emeka Ihedioha has a resemblance of Senator Uche Ekwunife who in different fora described the agitation by Biafran apologists as a mere waste of time.
Ihedioha had few months ago while addressing Ndigbo in America, warned them against supporting Mr Peter Obi, the only known Igbo son in the 2023 Presidential race.
As usual, Ihedioha was confronted for his action in America; no doubt, he denied totally because there was no video evidence to buttress the allegation.
Three months after his embarrassing comment against Ndigbo in America, Ihedioha still repeated his disgust and hatred against Ndigbo, now with startling evidence to nail him.
This time, it was in Ghana, while addressing Mbaise people, Ihedioha warned Ndigbo from voting Mr Peter Obi, noting that anyone who dare supports or votes him will be seen as a saboteur.
Looking at the current and previous comments of Ihedioha and his close friend, Senator Ekwunife, a core Igbo person will not struggle to identify the real saboteurs in the midst of the Igbo race.
Now listen, Ihedioha came from House of Representative to the Douglas House, Imo state, but due to his internal hatred against the Igbo soil, the gods did not waste time to boot him out unceremoniously.
For Senator Ekwunife, she has struggled from House of Representative to the Senate, yet all her efforts to clinch the number one position in Anambra state was resisted by the gods.
The saboteur comment of Ihedioha and the “waste of time” struggle for the sovereignty of the Biafra credited to Senator Ekwunife are the highest insults Ndigbo had received in recent time.
The question remains, what shall Ndigbo do with these two ingrates who after benefiting from our land, turned back and stabbed the hand that fed them.
In a well structured clime, the kind of Ihedioha and Ekwunife will be ostracized for committing a serious taboo against the soil that binds them.
