Less than two years to the 2023 General elections, political predators and a section of powerful vested political interest in the state have set in
motion, a vast conspiracy to sabotage the genuine political aspiration of the Ezza people for the governorship of the state.
The Ezza Ezekuna people whose progenitors constitute the Abakaliki bloc in the state it must be stated are imbued with patriotic zeal and are perhaps the most committed group to the Ebonyi project. The depiction of Ezza people as the most committed group to the Ebonyi project is not a hyperbole but is anchored on empirical evidence and a history of selflessness, sacrifice and enormous contributions to the cause of Ebonyi state. The riveting account of G.B.
It is a historical fact that Monday Umanyi, an Ezza son who championed the campaign for the creation of Ebonyi State was persecuted and eventually paid the supreme price at a time it was a taboo to advocate for the new state. Another prominent son of Ezza, Chief Samuel Okohu was the highest donor at the fund raising of the Movement for the Creation of Ebonyi State.
In 2002, attempts were made by these powerful forces to expel Ezza Ezekuna people from Effium. This orchestrated plan failed woefully to the consternation of the sponsors. Given their determination to execute this agenda of ethnic cleansing, the same crisis exploded again in 2020. What started as a disagreement between factions of the transport union soon snowballed into a full-blown war between Ezza and Effium people, exposing in the process, the political nature of the crisis.
Over the years, there has been deliberate campaign to diminish the voting strength of Ezza Ezekuna people. Part of this deliberate strategy involved the deployment of faulty biometric data capturing machines to areas populated by our people. Between 2007 and 2015, this strategy was deployed with devastating effect by the state government in cahoots with compromised agents of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
