Nationwide broadcast: Buhari is right —Ojukwu’s son

First son of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Emeka Ojukwu
Jr, on Wednesday, vindicated President Muhammadu Buhari on his
celebrated discussions with his late father on the unity and
indivisibility of the nation.

Ojukwu, who spoke in a statement released to newsmen in Awka,
the Anambra State capital, noted that he never granted any media
interview or posted any message on social media that Buhari was
wrong about his discussions with his late father.

This reaction came on the heels of stories making the round on
the social media that he; Ojukwu Jr replied Buhari’s statements as
untrue, which members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had
been describing as lies, demanding proof of the meeting with the
late Ikemba of Nnewi with the president.

Ojukwu Jr also said that his late father actually held the said
meeting with Buhari before his demise, adding that all that Buhari
said in his nationwide broadcast were true.

Ojukwu Jr, therefore, urged members of the public to
discountenance the stories on the social media or any media
platform whatsoever credited to him that he accused Buhari of
telling lies, warning that such malicious and damaging publications
would not be taken lightly should it be repeated.

He also called on the president not to take such comments
seriously as it smacked of gutter and yellow media reportage aimed
at overheating the polity.
