BIAFRA: BIG accuses APGA scribe over alleged attempt to demolish BIM-MASSOB secretariat in Anambra

…allegation against me frivolous – Ifeanya

By EZE NWABUEZE

The newly constituted Biafra 
Internal Government (BIG) has accused the Secretary of All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra state, Chief Tony Ifeanya of directing some
thugs to demolish a multi-million naira Secretariat being constructed by the
Biafra Independence Movement/Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of
Biafra (BIM/MASSOB) at Anaku community in Ayamelum Local Government Area of
Anambra state.

In a press statement to newsmen in Onitsha yesterday, BIG
alleged Ifeanya, a lawyer who hails from the Anaku had at  various times, particular during  the 
Anaku General Assembly  Meeting of
December 26, 2019,  and  at a 
private function in his residence at Awka, the state capital, told his
APGA faithfuls that he would mobilize his thugs to demolish the BIM MASSOB
Secretariat still under construction.

However, in a swift reaction, Ifeanya who spoke to newsmen
on phone, described the allegation as baseless and denied ever nursing any
ambition to demolish the BIM/MASSOB secretariat, adding that he was aware that
the secretariat under construction is located within the premises of a post
office constructed in the early 90s by the Oganiru Age Grade of Anaku which he
(Ifeanya) is a member of.

Ifeanya recalled that he personally led a delegation of the
Age Grade members then to the family of one of the Catholic priests from them
area who is also a member of the age grade and priest’s family donated a plot
of land which the age grade constructed a standard post office and handed over
to the community only to find out that MASSOB is now using the post office as
their meeting venue, to the extent that they later discussed with the
traditional ruler of Anaku and he permitted them to demolish part of the post
office and started putting up the structure known as BIM/MASSOB secretariat”.

But in the statement duly signed by BIG’s  Director of Information, Elder Chris Mocha,
the President of BIG, Chief Solomon Chukwu is advising Ifeanya to in his own
interest have a rethink or be prepared to face the consequences.

BIG warned that it would never fold its arms and watch
Ifeanya pull down the secretariat which is now at the roofing stage and which
had already gulped over N3 million, stressing that lack of adequate sanctions
for his class of people over the years have been the reason some body like him
is always willing to sabotage  the
collective interests  of  his 
Igbo  kinsmen,  with little or  no regards.

The statement declared: “Barr. Ifeanya  has 
been  one of  the masterminds  of inter and intra communal crises between
Anaku and its neighboring Umuolum 
Communities over the years. For instance, as Transition Committee
Chairman of Ayamelum LGA, he  refused to
honour an election which  produced Chief
Mike Udemezue Okoye  as the traditional
ruler of Umuolum  community”.

“Currently, he 
instigated the crisis  rocking
the  community when he presented one  Mr. Ebubechukeu Onuorah to the Commissioner
for LG, Chieftaincy and Community Matters, Chief Greg Obi  to be recognized as the President-General of
Umuolum Town Union, UTU  in  the election won by Chief Innocent Nwakwudo
who polled 116 votes to defeat  Mr.
Sampson Okoye and Ebube respectively”.

“Ifeanya, according to our findings, uses his  Political influence and  as  the
Secretary of APGA, a small but ruling party in Anambra  State to intimidate and Suppress   members in other parties”.

“In line with our 
laid down Non-violent principles, the Internal Government  of Biafra 
will not hesitate  to  arrest 
and  strip  Barr. Tony 
Ifeanya naked,  parade him along
the Streets or market place  any where in
Biafra  land  without inflicting any physical injuries
on  him, if his APGA thugs  insisted on 
carrying  out  his directives to demolish our
secretariat”.

“The election of PG, Umuolum  town union 
on August 3,  2019, which was
clearly won  by Chief Innocent  Nwoye Nwakwudo but  Barr. Tony Ifeanya used his position
denied  Nwoye  the certificate  of recognition. He  thereafter 
used his office as APGA scribe and 
presented Mr. Ebubechukeu  Onuorah
who lost in the  said contest just
because Nwoye is a card-carrying member of an opposition party, the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP”.
