Obi Of Onitsha Approved Apc Rally Visit Of Okorocha Others by oboy3(m): 2:53pm On Oct 10, 2013 |
Contrary to news reports in many National Dailies, the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate in the November 16, 2013 Anambra State gubernatorial polls got secured the approval and consent of both the Palace Secretary in the Palace of the Obi of Onitsha ,and later the traditional ruler Traditional as well as that of the Obi Onitsha himself. Hon Uche Okonkwo –Okom, former member, Anambra State House of Assembly and Director in the Chris N. Ngige Campaign Organization who gave this indication while speaking to a handful of reporters who sort his reaction to yesterday’s story said he made the arrangements for the rally which was first scheduled for three previous dates before it finally held on October 7, 2012 and got approval from both high officers of the Palace. ‘I communicated the Igwe in my capacity as Director of Operations and got a text approval for our event.’ Okonkwo informed, adding that ‘those who are using the name of our revered traditional ruler who extended all courtesies to me and my principal are out to make mischief, and to take away the attention of an upbeat Anambra State from the gains pf a successful rally, attended by close to 120,000 dedicated supporters who willingly gave out their funds for Ngige to be the next governor’. Continuing Okonkwo said, I contacted the Igwe on October 5, 2013 to intimate him with our program and to request a visit to his palace by Ngige and governors attending the rally and he gladly approved’ To buttress his point Okonkwo-Okom showed a text message response from Igwe Alfred Achebe, (going by the name saved on his handset) It read in part: ‘Sorry I was not in a position to talk last night .Indeed his Excellency Dr Ngige and the governors are very welcome. To ensure proper protocol, please advise the number coming and the names if possible.’ Okonkwo also noted: ‘Again when the timing agreed for the courtesy call was not congruent to either side, I was also a joint decision by both parties to defer the participation in the Ofala to another day outside the rally day, Senator Dr Chris Ngige will still lead us to l pay His Majesty a homage as earlier scheduled and deferred and that would be the time to truly find out if some political beneficiaries of confusion have not gone to work’ Okonkwo Okom, therefore called on Anambra people to take advantage of the experience so far garnered by Dr Ngige, and his track record and return Anambra State to the path of true development in the coming elections, because only God knows why the date coincides with the date a great Onitsha man who Ngige believes in, being a Zikist, was born and buried. http://www.247ureports.com/obi-of-onitsha-approved-apc-rally-visit-of-ngige-okorocha-others/ |

The Tradition has been there for more than 1000 years. Anybody coming into Onitsha during 1st week of October is ONLY for the Ofala of the Obi oF Onitsha. The man does not play politics and wouldn't have refused anybody authority to 'come to onitsha'. The thing is Ngige disrespected the Tradition of the Land and it is not about permission or campaign but rather RESPECT fot their way of life! 2 Likes |

The initial thoughts were that they were coming as guests of the Obi of Onisha for the Ofala and it was made clear they have to obey the protocol. You DO NOT ENTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OFALA! ONLY the Obi has that liberty because it is SOLELY his day! 2 Likes |

Awakullowo: ibo people like to deceive themselves, they lied That they are predominantly christians not knowing That they are traditional (idol) worshipers.So are Igbo not predominantly christians?. So celebrating ofala festival is idol worship. Why do you write as if you are a school drop out?. 1 Like |

this is just ridiculous! when I see these mis-steps I question Ngige's capacity to govern. Firstly Ngige does not need the permission of the Obi of Onitsha in order to hold a political rally in Onitsha. However courtesy demands that he informs the Obi of his intention for such rally and most importantly of all the calendar days he can avoid that one day the Obi has his Ofala expecially when the Obi's offala day is well known even before Ngige declared to run! Is he trying to compete how much crowd he can pull compared to the Obi or what? This is just a very childish school boy error, there is no need for it! 3 Likes |

gtrust: The Tradition has been there for more than 1000 years. Which 1000 years? LWKMD? Show me any PROOF that there was anything recorded as "Ibo" and written down for at least 500 years, not to mention the ofala of a thing! I am waiting! You people won't stop trying to re-write history! |

Sloan:Read your history books and you will always know that the Onitsha people have always had a king since it came into existence and every Onitsha man can trace his history from our founder, Eze Chima till present. Even google will give you all this information. Onitsha has always had a crown bearing king, Ignorance is not an excuse even in this present time. Grow a pair. |
