DAVID EBUKA ONUORAH AND POLITICS OF A BEAUTIFUL BEGINNING: The Umuotuzo and Iruokpalenyim Experiences. By: Ifeanyi Ndulue (Ibu Jesus)

Over the years, I have been docile to comments about Sundry issues involving my former friend and relation “David Ebuka Onuorah” because of my firm belief in the time efficiency philosophy. I have read books that convinced me that everything under the earth is subject to time. Changes occur within a time, repentance is possible if there is time and so on…

However, while waiting patiently for time to stir up the expected good and positive changes, all I saw and have continued to see is persistent decay that culminated in a conspiracy that led to the death of Late. Anayo Nworah. May his soul rest in peace.

The regime of land grabbing propelled our kindred “Umuotuzo” to constitute a Land Committee with clear mandate of interfacing with relevant government agencies for registration and approval of Okpuno Umuotuzo Layout to secure the said land. David Ebuka Onuorah was appointed to chair the committee.

At first, we had reports of encroachment from different groups and families. His persistent repel of those criminals earned him even more trust and support.

Sir Ignetus Duaka KSJI (Nzeamali) was appointed as the treasurer to help manage the money we kept in the bank for that purpose. At the right time, Ebuka Onuorah will explain how he withdrew the whole money amounting to over thirty-five million naira (#35,000,000.00) without the consent of the treasurer.

We equally saw the same thing in Iruokpalenyim when he invited us to join him in building the Iruokpalenyim Civic Centre. Not even Satan could hold back the words of praise for him.

Today, Iruokpalenyim is in court with him because all Iruokpalenyim community land amounting to over one hundred million naira (#100,000,000.00) could not be accounted for. And Ebuka Onuorah, cannot even allow the community to hold a peaceful meeting. The idea is to ensure that no one will discuss the matter.

Whatever Ebuka Onuorah is doing is the proverbial medicine-after-death. All his antics have been exposed and there is no more hiding place for him. He did it in Iruokpalenyim some thought he had good intentions until his true colours came out when we asked him not to sale Offia Ikweke Lands. 

Today, he is building on that community land without the approval of Iruokpalenyim. He will certainly lose the house because the land does not belong to him. He did the same thing in Umuotuzo where he sold over 187 plots and even refused to render accounts.  

Those are the money he is using to buy cars, fund his many cases and build his mansion. David Ebuka Onuorah, is an expert in perpetuation of crime. He has got so many connections with high-ranking Police Officers, some of them ex servicemen and their agents, whom he readily offers free plots of lands and sometimes sells parcels of lands to them at amazing cheap rates.

The idea is to pull them to use their influence in defence of his criminalities and to frustrate every move by anyone to bring him to book. But that will also fail. This is the 21st century. People have grown in wisdom and knowledge. 

David Ebuka Onuorah’s membership status in Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union (EBU) is clear with strong constitutional explanation. Even his appointment as former Publicity Relations Officer PRO was done in error as he was never a member of the Town Union (EBU).

I challenge him to show Enugwu-Agidi his evidence of payment of the compulsory security levy to the town union in the last three years.

He said he is a politician and as a politician, he should understand that the first step in contesting any election on a party platform is registration and procurement of the party membership card. Party cards are obtainable at the ward level. Therefore, in the EBU election, registration with a branch or village is a must and a prerequisite to be eligible to contest and be voted for. No magic can change that. David Ebuka Onuorah, was suspended by Etiti Progressive Union (EPU), a matter he took to a competent court of law.

He challenged the decision of EPU regarding his suspension, dissolution of his leadership of Iruokpalenyim and installation of a Caretaker Committee in Iruokpalenyim. Ruling on his application for an interlocutory injunction to restrain the EPU from enforcing his suspension and an order to stop the Caretaker Committee of Iruokpalenyim from parading themselves as leaders of the Community pending the ruling of the court on the substantive suit.

The court of law held that the status quo should be maintained; that means that the Iruokpalenyim Caretaker Committee should continue, and his suspension persist until the final ruling on the case he brought before the court of law.

On the other hand, the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union EBU also suspended him on a different note. He neither appealed the decision nor did he seek a waiver on his suspension. That means that until today, he stands suspended. He should be gentle by resigning the so-called appointment.

David Ebuka Onuorah should stop deceiving Enugwu-Agidi with whatever project he is doing to hoodwink the community because such has become an old formula.
