Chief Sunday Ossai & Robert Obasi In Messy War Over Chief Solomon Aguene’s Outstanding Performance As Ohanaeze Ndigbo President

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the crisis, which started among their Executives, has got to the Nigeria Police and the social media over money, which has thrown members of Chief Ossai group into total disarray as many have deserted him.

The efforts by the Ezendigbo in Ejigbo, Eze Nicolas Njoku, to nip the crises in the bud by preaching peace among the Executives yielded no result as they have gone into trenches, expressing disappointment over Chief Sunday Ossai poor leadership.

The first sign that the group was in deep crisis was the public statement by Ossai against his secretary, Chief Obasi,  questioning his loyalty as he claimed that it was Chief Aguene that brought Obasi to Ohanaeze and they started working at crossroads.

Another signal that the group was in disarray was the public castigation of the key supporter of Chief Ossai and his executives, Chief Edeh Kanayo, popularly known as Atakata one of Ndigbo.

Chief Kanayo publicly expressed his sadness over Chief Ossai’s abysmal performance as factional president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State, his incompetence and questioned those behind his nomination as President in the first place.

He stated:”Sad! Sad! Sad! I am highly disappointed in the present negative, despicable and appalling developments that has engulfed Ohanaeze. And the  question I keep asking Chief Sunday Ossai and his followers concerning the present ugly and retrogressive developments is, were they really prepared before attempting taking up the mantle of leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State?”

“Chief Solomon Aguene is a very good eye-opener, most especially the last certificate presentation and celebration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term in office unchallenged, which to me has continued to demonstrate that Chief Ossai has nothing to offer in leadership and it will continue to weaken our Local Government/LCDAS structures.”

“It’s quite unfortunate that our respected members, Elders and Ndi Eze would stand watching while Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State under Chief Sunday Ossai degenerate into a laughing stock and became a complete shadow of itself. Activities came to a standstill. No Clear vision, no direction, no reasonable purpose, no acccountability and transparency. It’s just so sad and a humongous pity.”

Chief Kanayo was subtle in expressing his disappointment with Chief Sunday Ossai’s. leadership. Unlike him, the Secretary of the group, Chief  Robert Obasi, was blunt and stated it categorically that Chief Sunday Ossai was unfit to be President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.

The chief scribe, Obasi, quoted Article Nine of the Ohanaeze Constitution of State officials and qualifications for the office, which stated on paragraph seven,  that to contest for president of Ohanaeze such candidate must be married.

“Chief Sunday Ossai is unfit to be the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State because he has failed to meet the requirements of the office. He is unmarried, he lives with his concubine. He should go and pay the dowry of the strange woman in his house.”

“Chief Solomon Ogbonna brought me to Ohanaeze. I added value to his administration, till tomorrow his administration is far better than yours. “

“Chief Sunday Ossai doesn’t know or have an idea of what it means to be the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos. his errors are countless, that is the reason he continues going from one leader’s house to another with a bottle of dry gin and a hired facilitator to speak on his behalf in other to cover his inadequacies.”

“You are already under the wrath of God for running down Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State. Serial betrayal, Chief  Anslem Njoku, brought you to Ohanaeze and gave you a cap that is bigger than your empty head. Today, you have betrayed him.”

“Chief Don Chris invested his resources on you; assisting you to buy the office of President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos. What is your relationship with him today? You have betrayed him too.”

“At least, Chief Solomon Ogbonna never took me to the Police for any offence, but your financier took you to the Police two weeks ago. Chief Udoha used his car to drive you around Lagos, projecting you before the gullible ones, today what is your relationship with him? Zero. Even your Chief of Staff, just came back to you because you are his in-law.”

“Am I the one that compelled you to sell your shop, thinking that buying the office of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos President will give you double of your investment. You have heard from the NEC that we are elected to offer services to Ndigbo and not to use them as merchandise” Obasi stated.

Some Ndigbo stakeholders, who spoke to P.M.EXPRESS stated that they were not surprised that the group will be in crisis because they were never prepared for the leadership but only wanted to form a factional Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State for their selfish interests, which has backfired.

They noted that it was time to move to the authentic Ohanaeze President, Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, who has demonstrated his leadership qualities and genuinely protected the interests of Ndigbo over the years in the position as the legally elected and recognized president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.
