Words Of An Enlightened Widow Who Loved And Still Loves Her Husband

By Ndi Anambra

Bianca Ojukwu was asked this question:
"Recently, former Anambra State governor, Mr. Peter Obi, defect­ed to the PDP, how did you re­ceive this news because you had told us the previous day that he would not quit APGA because of the promise he had made to Ojukwu?"

And out of her love for Ojukwu and all he stood for, because of her love for Igbo Identity, because she took Peter Obi as the true son of Ojukwu, because she never believed Ojukwu Obi will ever Play the Denial-Game... She answered:

"I received the news with shock and disappointment because up till the last moment; Obi kept reassuring me that this would never happen; that it would be over his dead body; that the day he leaves APGA would be the day he quits politics; and most importantly, that he would keep the promise he made to Ojukwu. I had no reason to doubt him. I had become used to unsubstantiated rumours, regarding his defection to the PDP.

Even just before the last TAN South East rally in Awka, I spoke with him because I had heard that he would decamp at that event. I had reason to be concerned because he had tendered his res­ignation letter, as BoT chairman of APGA only the night before the rally, which came as a great surprise to us all. I asked him whether he had any plan to defect to PDP and he told me that his position remained the same; and reiterated the statement that APGA was in his blood.

He kept his word then and so, I had no reason to believe that he would lie on this occasion. I felt that he had enough integrity to keep his promise to Ojukwu because there was no compelling reason for him not to do so.

Everything he is, today, he owes to Ojukwu and APGA. APGA catapulted him literally from obscurity to national prominence. He served two consecutive terms, as governor of Anambra State, a first in the history of the state.

This, he achieved under APGA. His decampment is shocking to our party members. He never gave them any indication that he was about to jump ship. Close as I was to him, he did not even have the simple courtesy to inform me of this decision but continued to deceive me up until his defection."

Chei... Uwa di ewgu...
Instead of reasoning along and asking for mercy...
Some agents of doom are championing a campaign of calumny against this outspoken Widow...

They claim to represent Peter Obi, that I doubt, because it will be so bad if Obi could bend so low to engage attack dogs against the Wife of the Eze Igbo Gburugburu...

It is like the First Son turning against his mother at the demise of the the father... at the meeting of Umunna
