The Archbishop of the Enugu Province, Anglican
Communion, the Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma,
Thursday, blasted Imo State Governor, Rochas
Okorocha over his persistent attacks on the Deputy
Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.

Okorocha, who is the Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Governors’ Forum, has
vowed to remove Ekweremadu and replace him with
the Senator elect from Imo State.

Speaking when members of the National Association
of Nigerian Students, NANS, visited him at the
Archbishop’s place in Enugu, the cleric maintained
that Okorocha was pursuing anti-Igbo agenda.

The NANS, who were in their hundreds took over
Enugu streets protesting the plan by the APC to
remove Ekweremadu.

Chukwuma declared: “We are saying that the
Governor of Imo State should apologize to
Ekweremadu because he has no right to be harassing him.

“The person who is going to the Senate under the
APC is coming just for the first term; whether you like it or not, he must come and pay homage to
Ekweremadu.

“How can you as a Governor who is just sponsoring
one person, for the first time be threatening that you will remove Ekweremadu? It is not possible.

“What I am saying is that Okorocha should apologize
and he should know that he is either an Igbo man or
a bastard Igbo.

“He is a bastard Igbo if he does not apologize and we are ready to disown him because he is not in the
same page with us as an Igbo man. If he was sent by
agents from outside, they have failed.”
