AWKA- National Coordinator of All Progressives Grand Alliance( APGA) Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, has asked Chief Vincent Udobi, a.k.a Ike Dunukofia to eschew vainglory and allow peace in Ifetedunu community.
Udobi, a prominent stakeholder in Ifitedunu community, in the Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State, had asked the Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, to sack his Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Collins Nwabunwanne.
Stating that Nwabunwanne would truncate Soludo’s good intentions and by extension his reelection in 2025, Udobi said the Commissioner had fomented troubles virtually in every community in the state .
Reacting to the development, Obigwe asked Udobi to stop threatening Soludo’s second term, stating that the Ifetedunu chief had no electoral value from precedence.
Obigwe forewarned Udobi to tread with caution, stating that Soludo is not somebody that could easily be intimated.
Obigwe said, “Let me remind Ike Dunukofia that the likes of Uzu Awka toed the path he is following today in the past and was tamed by Governor Soludo.
“Governor Soludo is not someone he can threaten and he is not someone he can dictate for.
“He does not have right to tell Governor Soludo to sack his Commissioner for local government.
” From the information I gathered so far, the Commissioner did nothing wrong that will even warrant the call for his removal. Anambra has passed the stage of one man acting as if he is a law unto himself.
“If such happened in the past, it cannot happen again under Governor Soludo administration because the era of exhibition of rascality in Anambra is gone for good.
“Nobody will be allowed to play with the sanity Governor Soludo brought to Anambra State no matter how highly placed the person think that he is.
“The offence of Hon Collins Nwabunwanne the Commissioner for local government that made Ike Dunukofia to threaten Governor Soludo to remove him or forget going for 2nd term is that he did the right thing in Ifitedunu Town Union matters and refused to dance to the music tune of Ike Dunukofia.
“No one man is bigger than government especially when that government want to do what is right. As a matter of fact, during Governor Obiano’s 2nd term re election, I reliably gathered that this same Ike Dunukofia worked against him and lost in his polling unit, ward and Dunukofia local government.
“The shameful lost made him to stop people from fetching his free borehole water by destroying the borehole outside tap. During Governor Soludo election, I learnt that he( Ike Dunukofia) did not support him and Soludo still won the election.
“So, he does not have the required electoral value and political strength to threaten Governor Soludo.
“If you talk of Commissioners that are doing well under Governor Soludo administration, Hon Collins is among them and for Ike Dunukofia to give Governor Soludo ultimatum for his removal is laughable.
