By Daniel Ohamadike

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Chieftains , Nze Edwin  Egboka and Chief Moses  Nwokoro, have debunked all allegations in a trending voice notes ,being circulated  against the Former President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos State,Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene,  by  Chief Emmanuel Ubah ,(Otumba Ojoto)

Defending Chief Aguene , the duo of Egboka and Chief Nwokoro , regretted that Otumba ‘s trending Voice Notes allegations ,were personal campaign  issues that emanated from the just concluded Ohanaeze Presidential election, which ought to have been kept away from public scrutiny . 

Angered, Nze Egboka , who is the Chairman of All Chairmen, compared Political  office  Elections to Sports, noting that Chief Emmanuel Ubah is a bad loser ,who lacks Sportsmanship.

Explaining why Chief Ubah lost the election with wide margin , the Leaders revealed that it was out of Patriotism , “voters primarily were not comfortable with Otumba ‘s Charisma, past experiences ,Capacity, outward appearance and his failing and debilitating  health Challenges , which they considered ,would have incapacitated and hindered his tenure as Ohanaeze President , to the detriment of the Igbo Nation”.

Giving evidence and Genesis of the problems and misunderstanding  between Chief Ubah and Chief Aguene, Egboka and Nwokoro, alleged that, Otumba ‘s anger, grievances and hate against the Former President , was  because of “Aguene’s refusal to make Chief Uba the Sole Presidential  Candidate , by  disqualifying  Oba Ojoto from contesting , based on the fact that  Otumba claimed that Oba Ojoto had contested in the past , and is also from Aguene’s LGA as well as worried that Oba Ojoto contesting will jeopardize his chances” .

Exposing Otumba, Chief Nwokoro , who is Deputy Chairman , revealed that Chief Ubah has the tendency of alleging people over money, “just the same way he told people that he paid my Children’s school fees, whereas  , he only loaned me N30,000 once ,at the Ohanaeze Secretariat , the day I had network issue with my transfer app, which I later repaid him the same day”.

He warned Ubah to desist from lying that he sponsored all the local government Chairmen meetings  for over one year. 

Warning , he  reminded him how Chief Aguene’s intervention Saved him Ubah from being beaten up by him Nwokoro, during the presidential election .

According to Chief Nwokoro, ” this is the same way Chief Emmanuel Ubah , told me and  the Chairman of all Chairmen, how he gave Chief Oliver Akubueze , alias Mmili and Onyendu Uche Dimgba ,aka Okpetemba, the Sum of N3 million ,as election kolanuts, through Chief Anselem Njoku, (Anatuanatu), as well as another additional N2  million for 57 local government  delegates, given to the same Chief Anselem Njoku ,a night before the election”.

Challenging Chief Uba to publish any transfer evidence of such kolanut fund , delegate fund  or any other money , which he alleged ,was given to Chief Aguene, Chief Nwokoro , defended and cleared the former President , who he said,” is presently spending his holiday , cooling off and cruising ,after eight years of his development packed and achievement driven leadership in Ohanaeze Ndigbo”.

Mocking Uba’s allegations against Chief Aguene, who Nwokoro confirmed to be  a billionaire , he regarded Uba’s voice notes as Amateurish, local and cheap propaganda .

The two leaders, therefore  reminded Otumba Ojoto, that the past and present contestants to Ohanaeze  President Office, just like every other elections in Nigeria , spent money on campaigns and public Relations.

Therefore , both leaders  educated Ubah ,reminded him that “election campaign spendings are not receipted, hence are none refundable,they  notified  him that Chief Nwakaeze, who contested against Chief Aguene then,  distributed Televisions and phones, just as Aguene spent millions during his own era,while  Oba Ojoto  in his past and  just concluded election, have Spent multi Millions, without crying like a baby or asking for a refund” .

They further cautioned Ubah to stop unnecessary  boasting , because according to them, Chief Ubas’s  Oto- Awori  building , which he upgraded to 10 million selling price rate , is an Ashawo , Short Time hotel , which is located in an obscure place and  not worth N 500, 000.

Encouraging Otumba to brace up like a man and  stop being Childish with  his  blame game,  the Chieftains, who maintained that “Chief Ubah was broke before the campaigns and election, mocked him to report or  sue  Chief Aguene to  Indian or Chinese Shrine , instead of small and local Anambra Shrines or deities, if he is sure of his allegations” .

Speaking further on Emmanuel Uba’s threat to report Chief Aguene to Anambra shrine over his election campaign spending  , Nwokoro, called on Ndigbo in Lagos to give thanks giving to God, that such a man of Uba’s low caliber ,did not emerge as  Ohanaeze President.

Meanwhile, Nwokoro and Egboka believes that ” Uba’s  voice notes circulating ,clearly shows that he is being sponsored by Ohanaeze Ndigbo enemies in Lagos state .
