INSULT ON IGBO NATION

The Convener and President of the Association of South East Professors and Professionals (ASEPP), an apolitical umbrella body of Professors and sundry Professionals across the South-East geopolitical zone, Professor Victor Ukaogo has described the insult on the governor of Abia state, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu on the floor of the Senate by Senator Smart Adeyemi as an abuse of the Igbo nation. 


Speaking to a newsmen in Nsukka this morning, Professor Ukaogo fumed that the foul and extremely derogatory language linking the Abia governor to Champagne drinking governance is to say the least ‘most disgusting and unacceptable’. The activist Professor of history and international relations frowned at what he said is gaining ground in recent times – namely Igbo bashing and warned all with the propensity and tendency in engaging in this past time to either stop forthwith or get ready for the ‘roforofo’ fight that will ensue. 


‘You see’, he said ‘this explains why some of us saw it necessary to come together as a united and vocal front under the banner of ASEPP ’with ‘credible capacity to shield the southeast from such misfits hiding and masquerading under the parliamentary cloak of immunity to provoke the Igbo nation’. 


It is immaterial he fumed ‘if all of this Igbo bashing has an intrinsic link to 2023’ as Senator Adeyemi admitted himself but it is worth noting that the Nigerian presidency belongs to nobody and must go round equitably to all constituting units of the country. ASEPP is unwilling to engage emergency spokesmen of complicit minority; rather we are asking the Senator to publicly apologise to Dr Okezie Ikpeazu and withdraw the appellations of evil and the wicked profiling of the governor within the next 24 hours. Our resolve in this regard is firm and it remains needful to emphasise that corporate Nigeria built on equity and good conscience is a better place for us all.
