Okorocha accuses PDP of floating Radio Biafra By Nigeria Horn Newspapers On 11 Mar, 2015 At 11:40 AM | Categorized As Imo State | With 0 Comments By OGU Bundu Nwadike The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State has come under the heavy hammer of the state governor, Rochas Okorocha, who has directly accused the party of floating the clandestine Frequency Modulated (FM) radio that is introduced as Radio Biafra. The accusation was made in a press release signed by Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, declaring that the radio is actually a deceit packaged by the PDP since it has been abnormally attacking the All Progressives Congress (APC) exclusively. “The truth is that the radio station is the creation of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The party invented it to assist them in their hate campaigns against APC and its leaders. A typical and genuine Biafra radio where necessary should be devoting its airtime to the things that would be of great interest to the Igbo. “But the Biafra Radio under reference attacks APC and its leaders as if there are no Igbo people in APC and as if there are no Northerners in PDP. As a matter of fact the radio station is a deceit packaged by the PDP in its strenuous efforts to escape the defeat that awaits it. “Our investigation also revealed that the radio station does not broadcast from London as claimed by those behind it but within. “The Igbo and of course Nigerians of goodwill should disregard the radio station. The radio station is owned by PDP, otherwise the PDP- led federal government would have made effort to apprehend those behind it because it is unlawful. To call the station Biafra Radio instead of PDP radio is the height of deceit,” the statement asserted. According to the statement, ” the radio station claims to be operating from London, and has been carrying out serious campaign of calumny and blackmail against the APC and its leaders. In fact, all the talks or discussions on the radio have been against the Igbos in APC.” For some time now an FM station which says it is Radio Biafra has been airing broadcasts and stating that it is from London. A survey around Imo State has revealed that many Imo people have been tuning into the station and following the programmes with growing deep interest. According to the people Midweek Nigerian Horn spoke with the strong attraction, in addition to the claim to being radio Biafra, is found in the clear signal reception of the broadcast from the station. Incidentally, it was discovered too that the messages of the station have been unfavourable to the Gov. Okorocha administration as it reports copiously on alleged negative sides of the government. The respondents say the whole thing is creating confusion as they do not know what to believe again about the Okorocha administration. “It will be quite unfortunate, if all this radio Biafra is reporting turns out to be true. Why should Owelle build so many houses in his compound? They say it is Imo State money that he used in building the houses at SPIBAT in Akwakuma. I don’t if it is true. But if it is true or not how can we know. I just hope it is a lie. If it is true, then Owelle has not done well at all,” said one tricycle (keke) driver who spoke in vernacular. Another respondent, Chibuike, however, would not give the reports on the purported radio Biafra a second thought, insisting that Gov. Okorocha has done well. “It is a big lie! It is the work of PDP. Owelle tried more than Ohakim. In fact, Owelle has done better than all governors before him, except Mbakwe. And don’t forget that Owelle is a very rich man. He has been very rich even before he became governor. He has been giving free education before he was made governor. he brought free education to Imo State. So, Leave PDP alone. They want to defeat Owelle by all means, but God will not allow them,” he said. Be that as it may, it is the view of pundits that with the broadcasts of the said radio Biafra getting intensified, the possibility of many die in the wool supporters of Okorocha may be convinced to dump the governor and pitch tent with some other parties. This speculative reasoning is not within the capacity of anybody to determine. Only the April 11 gubernatorial election will prove who becomes the governor of Imo State. www.nigerianhornnews.com/okorocha-accuses-pdp-of-floating-radio-biafra/ 1 Like |

wooooow I must say that i am very happy because a few days ago a lady from Owerri called to ask our able director "how much has the APC paid him to campaign for them" and finally today the zoo government of APC in the same Owerri made a press release that our Biafra radio is of the PDP. This i believe is a proof that our radio Biafra is non political and has nothing in common with the zoo government and that is exactly how it should be. my Director NNAMDI KALU i must commend you for the good work you are doing for we the Biafrans and i pray that CHUKWU ABIAMA will always be with you until our land is restored.....Iseeeee.....

Tribalism is what is killing Nigeria. I'm an igbo, i'm yoruba, i'm hausa, i'm ijaw, i'm this, i'm that. When are we going to see ourselves as Nigerians, as one people? When are we going to put tribal or ethnic sentiment aside and move on as one people? When are we going to love ourselves? When will the tribal hatred ends? Why are we so intolerant and unacommodating? Please let's move on as one. We are brothers and sisters. Let's stand together, let's fight together, and let's live together as one people. In unity we stand. 4 Likes 1 Share |

clevvermind:don't say that. was it not at the Berlin conference that Africa was shared like a fresh cake from the oven? were we consulted before the white man lumped us together with the south west and the north? if you want Africa to progress, then we must apply the simple principle of mathematics I.e we MUST collect like terms together. there MUST be re-alignment, re-arrangement of the whole tribes in Africa. people with almost the same culture and attributes must come together and AGREE on a system of government to practice.

Re: Okorocha accuses PDP of floating Radio Biafra by Nobody: 5:50pm On Mar 11, 2015 |
If Okorocha believes the PDP is behind Radio Biafra, then too bad. As far as I can recall, Radio Biafra is calling for election boycott: A call some of us have disagreed with them. It is politically expedient that we return Jonathan. Of course, the main hub of Radio Biafra is in London. Although some of us are not happy with the Director for his violence approach to the struggle, people like Rochas will soon learn that we the Biafrans do not follow personality cults. Once more, we are calling on all Biafrans to head home! 2015 election is an anti climax. A Jonathan win is trouble, A Buhari win is also trouble. Cheers to all. 1 Like |

Yea, I heard the Imo state sponsored pronouncement on radio this morning, the way they packaged it showed that the Rochas camp is morbidly afraid. Honestly, the man tried but his collaboration with Buhari is making him unpopular in Imo. |

noblezone:Yes,i also frowned at the total boycott of the election which they are calling for.I would av' loved that Gej return to Aso Rock,failure upon which everything will be unleashed from all angel.But you see,its a question of being firm,resolute,and resolved ,in ones agenda.The young man Kalu seems resolved in what he wants.You av' gat to hear him bash Gej.He doesnt want to hear anything Nigeria,and hence,neither the election nor Gej,is important to him except Biafsa.I heard him over the radio saying "He can't be fighting to dissolve this injustice upon the Black race i.e refering Nigeria as injustice upon the Black Race,and at same time supporting election in same 'injustice'" As for the Arm struggle you made mention of,i av' been into Arm struggle for long,especially at the pick of Niger Delta militancy,though opted out at some point.But you must understand,that the Nigerian government wont listen to you,unless you shoot gun.thats why they were begging to negotiate with shekau. 3 Likes |
