The former Presidential adviser to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and a right-hand man to the embattled former minister of petroleum Mrs. Diazeni Alison Maduakwe has chides Mrs. Obey Ekwesili over what he called selective activism and hypocrisy.
This is coming following the attacks and murder of four USA embassy staff in Anambra by the dreaded terrorist groups masquerading as unknown gunmen in the Southeast.
Mr. Omokri says had the killings occurred in any part of Northern Nigeria, Mrs. Obey could have been unto of her voice condemning the said killings, but she has opted to be mute now that the killings happened in her state of Anambra.
He sited many examples of killings where Mrs. Obey chose to be silent because the killings did not occur in a region she loves to hate.
The statement reads in full.
“US embassy staff were attacked yesterday in Anambra by unknown gunmen. Four have been reportedly killed. John Francis Kirby (US National Security Council Spokesperson) confirmed the incident during a @WhiteHouse press conference yesterday. Very sad. I condemn their attack and call for justice, especially as they were attacked while on a humanitarian aid mission to Anambra.”
“The interesting thing is that a day after these killings, Oby Ezekwesili, who is from Anambra, has unsurprisingly kept quite. It took Oby less than an hour to enter the streets and dance naked when Deborah Samuels was killed in Sokoto—less than an hour. Please do not take my word for it. Please verify.”
“Since these killings happened in her own state, Oby is loudly silent. Just as Oby has remained silent till today after a pregnant Northerner from Adamawa, Harira Jubril was killed by unknown gunmen in broad daylight, with her four underaged daughters, Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2.”
“Harira and her children were killed in Anambra on May 22, 2022. Oby Ezekwesili has NEVER condemned or even acknowledged the killings. Deborah Samuel was killed on May 12, 2022. Oby Ezekwesili condemned it the same day.“
“An hour after Deborah's killings, Oby tweeted this: ”Deborah sadly joins the long list of those who must be given Justice in this Land someday; no matter how long it takes for us to build a society where human life is respected and accorded dignity. Her “religious” killers will surely account. Someday. On earth and before God."
“It is interesting to note that Oby Ezekwesili also never condemned the killing of Ahmed Gulak on May 31, 2021.“
“This selective outrage taints Oby's activism. If it happens in the North, Oby will shout and chase clout. If it occurs in the Southeast, Oby will go about and keep mute!”
“I hope the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria and the State Department in Washington, DC pay close attention to Oby.”
