reports that the Biafra independence movement, BIM, spokesperson, Mazi Chris
Mocha has revealed how the Former Head of State of the defunct Biafra and Hero,
late Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu on October 29, 2007, handed over to Uwazuruike as
his successor.
Mocha
made this revelation during an interaction with a member of Biafra
Elders-in-council, Mr. Joseph Odikpo, in Asaba, Delta state yesterday.
Mocha
stated that Ojukwu while still alive showed in character, action and utterances
that Uwazuruike had to succeed him and added that when the Okenwa (Uwazuruike)
was detained in Keffi prison, Nassarawa state, for treason charges that people
had always asked, “Who would be Ojukwu’s successor, if they didn’t find him?
"Today
I have answered the question" he hugged Uwazuruike about 25 times and said
again, "he had wiped out tears of Ndigbo for spending two years in prison.
Okenwa went to prison for the sake of Ndigbo".
Mochaa
echoed that Ojukwu who was at his residence at Isi-Uzo street Independence
layout, Enugu, on Monday October 29, 2007 to receive Chief Uwazuruike after he
was granted a 3 month bail by an Abuja High Court on 26 October, 2007 to go and
bury his late mother, Monica, said Uwazuruike has wiped out the tears of
Ndigbo.
He said
that Uwazuruike was arrested on Tuesday October 25, 2005 by the Operatives of
the Department of State Security (DSS), who disguised as National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC) members and operated in a bus with registration number
Delta 638A.
According
Mochaa. Ojukwu who spoke in Igbo in the presence of Former Senator Uchechukwu
Merije, Senator Ikechukwu Obiorah, Former APGA National Chairman, Chief Victor
Umeh, Eze Ndigbo in Abuja, and Chief Nwosu among others said;
“Uwazuruike
is my begotten son with whom I am well pleased because all the messages I kept
getting from him while he was in the prison custody was not to tell me that he
was hungry or tired and required support, but rather he kept telling me that he
was healthy and that he stood by the struggle
“Go
anywhere and do not be afraid. I am fear and fear does not fear. Do not be
afraid. Go anywhere with confidence don’t be afraid to champion the cause you
believe in because fear does not entertain another fear. If you have dreaded
people behind you, which other dreaded people are you going to be afraid of? We
are solidly behind you and wherever you go we are going to be with you”.
Mochaa
said that Ojukwu further warned, “They cannot tell us not to talk or tell us
when to talk. We can talk anywhere we want and at any time that we find
something that is paining us we are going to talk. We are not going to keep
quiet. I promise that I will never give up nor betray the cause of the Igbo and
I believe that if we stay together we muster a lot of strength to contain the
forces of darkness”.
