hehehe.....A sociopolitical transparency advocacy group, Renascent
Anambra Transparency Democratic League, RATDL, has disclosed plans by
some opposition politicians to drag Anambra State governor, Chief Willie
Obiano into the recent sex scandal involving former beauty queen,
Chidinma Okeke.
The group in a press release made available to journalists
in Awka and signed by its coordinator, Comrade Chuma Nweke stated that
the former beauty queen has allegedly been approached by some opposition
politicians in the state to indict Obiano in the scandal.
“We learnt that the basic idea by the faceless sponsors of
the plan is to get the former beauty queen to make brazen allegations
linking the governor and his top aides to the scandal, thereby giving
the opposition reason to shout to the rooftop, and request the governor
to step down from seeking second term in office,” the group said.
Nweke said it has become necessary to go public following a
spate of misleading public commentaries and allegations, with
potentials to rupture the peace which is visible across the state in a
time of national hardship occasioned by economic recession.
The release continued, “We shall not stand by and watch
unscrupulous politicians succeed in their nefarious attempt to
scandalize the office of the governor of Anambra State, by roping the
governor into a matter which he has absolutely no hand in.
“We shall do anything within our power to ensure that people who are bent on humiliating our governor do not go unscathed.”
Though the group said it’s non-partisan, it said it is
compelled to speak after noticing the dangerous impending trend in
Anambra politics, which has hitherto been known to be peaceful.
The group said that since the law enforcement agents have
wadded into the matter, it would be fair for all parties to desist from
making unguarded utterances, while calling on the security agencies to
make haste and make its findings public to save those who are being
unjustly accused, and also save the state from the hands of pranksters.
The group said it decided to come out to speak having seen
how some enemies of the governor were trying to twist the scandal
against him, and to also alert the governor of what his enemies are
trying to do, so he can prepare himself.
Meanwhile, counsel to Miss Okeke, the former beauty queen,
Barr Ikenna Obidiegwu speaking with our correspondent on phone said,
“there is nothing political about Chidinma’s travails, the little girl
has told the world how it happened, and what our concern is to ensure
she gets justice.”
Obidiegwu said no opposition politician has approached his
client to twist facts, and that government was not the organizers of the
pageant, and as such has not been linked to it.
He, however, urged Anambra State government to institute
enquiry into the matter as failure to do so may indict her of
complicity, or better still rob off on her when the whole truth is
unraveled.
