The Nkanu East Concern Youth, through its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ejike Valentine Nnaji JP, has expressed concern over alleged continuous attacks by Enugu State Commissioner for Science and Technology, Prince Lawrence Ozoemena Ezeh, on the Chairman of Nkanu East Local Government Area, Hon Sydney Okey Edeh.
Comrade Nnaji emphasized that the group believes Prince Ezeh is behind media assaults against Hon Sydney Edeh due to the latter’s issuance of a certificate of acceptance to Chief Jerry Patrick Onuokaibe as the ìgwè elect of Mburubu community.
He asserted that this endorsement was based on empirical evidence and the unanimous approval by Mburubu community leaders, as sanctioned by the village’s constitution.
The Concern Youth expressed bewilderment at the Honourable Commissioner’s involvement in local politics, diverting his attention from his responsibilities.
“It’s perplexing that the Hon Commissioner would leave his official duties to engage in local politics instead of acting as a father figure.”
He accused him of attempting to influence the local government chairman.
He also accused Prince Ezeh of allegedly forming his own faction within the community.
Furthermore, the attempt by the faction he created to bribe the local government chairman with a cow speaks to questionable practices.
Forming a faction within the community adds another layer to his involvement in local politics.”
The Concern Nkanu East youth reiterated its caution to Prince Lawrence Ozoemena Ezeh, urging him to focus on his official duties and refrain from alleged attacks on Hon Sydney Okey Edeh.
The group called for unity within the community and emphasized the importance of addressing issues through proper channels, rather than resorting to media confrontations.
The Concern Nkanu East Youth, however, seeks a resolution to the ongoing conflict, emphasizing the need for responsible and ethical leadership within the community and the state at large. They also urged Prince Ezeh to collaborate with Chief Jerry Patrick Onuokaibe, the ìgwè elect of Mburubu, to advance his community.
They also took a jibe at the group’s presentation of Chief Linus Igbudu to the council chairman as their ìgwè elect, denouncing it as a misguided move.
