AllProgressives Congress (APC), Candidate for Dunukofia State Constituency in the last general election,Hon. Cornel Ilokolobia has issued an ultimatum to Senator Tony Nwoye, to withdraw an uncouth statement accredited to him against Prince Engr. Arthur Eze in Abuja last week.

Ilokolobia who is from the Ukpo community as Prince Eze and former Youth Leader of Dunukofia was reacting to Senator Nwoye who he said “causally referenced Prince Arthur Eze as a man from Ukpo in his speech at the Anambra Town Hall meeting in Abuja.”

Reacting to a video making the round on social media where Senator Nwoye representing Anambra North District called “Prince Engr.

Arthur Eze OFR, Ozoigbondu who is Nwoye’s all-time benefactor as ‘a man from Ukpo, and prince from Ukpo”.

Ilokolobia called on Senator Nwoye “to quickly tender unreserved apologies to Prince Engr Arthur Eze, Ndigbo and humanity for making a snide referencing to Eze “in the gathering of eminent personalities across Nigeria as if referencing a nobody and a man of no significance”.

In a statement, Ilokolobia said that it is no secrete that Eze spent over N10 billion on Nwoye’s political ambitions over time.

He said: “It is common knowledge that twice Prince Arthur Eze spent billions of naira on governorship electioncampaigns of Nwoye, labouring to make Sen Nwoye Anambra Governor. On those two occasions, ndi Anambra and Nigerians knew that Prince Arthur Eze’s resources were the backbone of Sen Nwoye before he eventually won the House of Representatives seat and today’s Senate.

“Sen Nwoye’s comment is a bad market for the youths as many benevolent spirits and personalities will now have second thoughts before helping young people,” he said.

Those words are tagged ingratitude and some persons could be led to think that if Prince Arthur Eze can be shown such who are they and why will they spend resources to build young persons’ around them?”

Insisting that Sen Nwoye’s words were not respectful, Hon Ilokolobia promised to mobilize youths in Anambra State to protest and register their anger against Sen Nwoye within the next seven days if he fails to apologize to Prince Engr Arthur Eze. (Daily Independent)
