KINGSLEY EBERE
The Chairman of Igbo Kingmakers and former President of Ohanaeze, Lagos State, Chief John Uche, has described self acclaimed Eze Chimereze Emmanuel Chukwuakalikamadu as an imposter and stated that he was never crowned as Ezendigbo in Oriade LCDA area of the State.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that Chief Uche stated this at his office in Ago Okota while reacting over sponsored publication by Chukwuakalikamadu linking him with the falsehood of disowning Eze Umenwekwe Chukwukadibia as Ezendigbo in Oriade LCDA.
He described the publication as nonsensical and distanced himself from the lies and rumours being peddled by Chukwuakalikamadu and his cohorts by falsely claiming that Chief Uche crowned him Eze in Oriade LCDA.
Chief Uche admitted that as an Igbo Kingmaker to have written a letter of recognition confirming Eze Umenwekwe as Ezendigbo in Oriade LCDA in a letter they sent to the DSS and Nigerian Police dated 24th November, 2021.
The Igbo Community Lagos State led by Chief Sunday Udeh also gave Eze Umenwekwe certificate of recognition dated 13th July, 2019 and signed by Chief Udeh and his secretary, Engr Chukwuma.
On the purported picture being paraded on the social media by Chukwuakalikamadu and his cohorts, Chief Uche explained that it was a public display in 2022 at the Palace of Ezendigbo, Lagos State, Eze Christian Nwachukwu, where he reconfirmed Eze Chukwukadibe having given him recognition in 2021 as Ezendigbo in Oriade LCDA by then Chukwuakalikamadu was claiming that he was as well Ezendigbo of Oriade LCDA.
He stated that when the reporter contacted him on phone over the Ezeship in Oriade LCDA, he only directed him to contact the Supreme Council of Ndieze led by Eze Lawrence Nnamdi Eze or his Deputy, Eze Vincent Iwobi and he was surprised with the publication of falsehood and misrepresentation of what he told him.
Since Chimereze Emmanuel Chukwuakalikamadu crowned himself Ezendigbo, it has been public embarrassment as the Igbo Stakeholders both in Oriade LCDA and Lagos State have disowned him and described him as an Imposter.
Among the Igbo leaders who have disowned him included the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State, Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, President of Igbo Speaking Community, Chief Sunday Udeh, Oriade LCDA and the Ezendigbo, Lagos State, Eze Christian Nwachukwu. The Igbo leaders not only disowned him publicly, they identified with Eze Chukwukadibe Umenwekwe as Ezendigbo in Oriade LCDA
