“It is not the will of the Most High to Globalize Christianity or Democracy but it is His perfect will to have twelve (12) tribes to be ministered by the Holy Rabbi – The Prophet of Elohim”.

Dr. Amaechi Chizota

INTRODUCTION

The day was the 18^th day of February 2003 and the venue the famous Nicon Hilton Hotel Abuja and the actors, the Anambra state delegates of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (P.D.P), who conveyed for the second time in a week to try and sort for a peaceful resolution to the lingering crisis in the state over who carries the party’s flag for the gubernatorial election come April this year. It will be recalled that not too long ago the party announced one Chris Ngige as the party’s flag bearer after several months of dispute which saw the disqualification of the party’s flag bearer and chief executive of the state Dr. C. C. Mbadinuju (Oderaa), from contesting for a re-election under the party’s umbrella. Most people taught that was the end of the ‘gaie’ but barely 48 hours after Chris Ngige’s mysterious victory at the so called repeat primaries, that the real battle began which I feel very proud to call it RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE.

THE RUMBLE

It is really embarrassing how a party which stands as one of the largest party in Africa, cannot move fast and wisely in resolving the anarchy that has befallen a district so to say under its kitty thus making many to begin to decipher that the party has no set principles and guidelines. It is even most embarrassing how the problem in the state has risen from ‘la gaie de mot’ to ‘la gaie combat’. Married men and elders have now taken over the role of youths as they could be seen exchanging fist in their offices, in the streets, at party secretariats and very shameful of all, at an international hotel of reputable standard like the Nicon Hilton hotel – what a shame to a country like Nigeria that has over the years put on the clothe of shame in virtually all spheres of life

The rumble at the Nicon Hilton Hotel venue started when some delegates from the state were denied access into the inner court – the Kano room thus generating an atmosphere like that of a football game. Things suddenly fell apart when one of the elders of the party in the state assaulted the national secretary of the party Chief Vincent Ogbulafor who later denied being assaulted as reported by most of the dailies but people like us who are not afraid of their own shadow sees it wise to let Nigerians and the world know as gathered from an insider the level of the rumble. It was reliably gathered that Sir Emeka Ofor who was at the forefront in ensuring that Oderaa does not get a re-election took the battle right to the face of the national secretary and behold an Hollywood deceptive film picture was seen in reality.

THE RESULT

It is natural that in any bout there is bound to be a winner and a loser and even if there happen to be a stalemate, the battle must surely continue for it is written “he who fights and runs away surely live to fight again”. From the look at things at the venue Sir Emeka Ofor was the winner and ought to be carried high at least if for no other reason, the mere fact that the meeting did not hold. The party chairman was reported to have left the scene without the concept of the ‘warriors’ – may be he used what I may call ‘Philips transport’ to escape. As has always been the case in Nigerian politics, results are announced at the drawing board thus the aggrieved Ogbulafor with the publicity secretary of the party, quickly announced the adoption of Chris Ngige after he narrowly left the arena. So, the winner is… sorry wait a minute it may be a stalemate. That is the situation right now as unconfirmed report yet a very reliable source have it that the number two man of the Federation Atiku Abubakar, quickly called for an urgent meeting in his house, asking the parties involved to either adopt Oderaa or look for a consensus candidate. Men and brethren take note again that no matter what happens Oderaa will not flag the party’s ticket for as said before, five parties including the P.D.P shall rise against him in the state.

The big question now is this; why has Emeka Ofor as well as his A.P.F- Anambra Peoples Forum loyalists, all of a sudden, switched support in favor of Oderaa to the extent that he sent his private helicopter to pick Oderaa at the governors lodge Awka, the state capital en route Abuja? Some say it is because his candidate and cousin Nnamdi Nnoruka was not picked, which may be understood as well that if his candidate had won, Eselu ‘Uga’ another money bag in the state who brought out Ngige, would have joined Oderaa to fight the former, while others are of the opinion that he has repented. Whichever is the reason, is best known to these ‘money bags’ but one thing Anambrarians and Nigerians should know by now, is the fact that Oderaa was not disqualified for the reasons which Audu Ogbe the national chairman of the party announced but for the interest of some Abuja ‘hawks’, whose destinations in the state are motivated by morbid and self-aggrandizement. From the situation so far, there is no indication of an end to this long crisis of a state that can boast of people like the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe (first president of Nigeria), Dr. Alex Ekwueme (former Vice president), Dr. Emeka Anyaoku (past Secretary General, Commonwealth) not leaving out the Great (Ikemba Nnewi) Dim Odumegwu-Ojukwu just to mention but a few. How then can the fate of a state like such be entrusted in the hands of these Abuja “errand boys?” as Orji Uzor Kalu, governor of Abia States call them of like caliber.

THE JUNGLE

“Yes I can see in the jungle of Africa arises… I can see him but I can touch him… for he shall be called Joshua whom the Lord has sent to liberate his people…”

William Marion Branham (1964)

That was the vision of a man who saw as far back as 1964 the jungle of the rumble. A great evangelist who called himself the seventh angel and proved it beyond reasonable doubt and today his portrait hangs on the famous white house. He saw him but could not touch him but how privileged today, we can behold him.

It is indeed baffling how a great party like the P.D.P is struggling to ‘pull out a flower from the garden of Eden’. At the same time, it is the perfect will of the Most High to see that the problem in the state continues just the way he wants it. For this purpose the state and Nigeria as a whole was set as a sample of how the spoken word of the Chosen one shall re-design and re-shape the world’s political, social and religious structures to the Divine structures of Elohim in the days of these kings, thus establishing the gradual yet fast emerging kingdom of the B’Ephrai’yims (Biafra).

The heat has just commenced, and as I have always said it, no word of Akirika Duku-Duku shall come back unfulfilled. Let the sons and daughters of the Biafran nation listen and watch how this crisis in Anambra state will once again re-lunch into reckoning Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (Dikediohamma of Igboland). He shall rise again just as the dead bones shall rise again and add fire to the fire, water to the water, land to the land and wind to the wind when all must have fallen. Even though he (Ojukwu) knows it not the Lord shall fulfill it in his days. Then the people of Anambra state will see and know true peace in the state with Dr. C. C. Mbadinuju as the chief executive. – Akirika Duku-Duku has spoken.

CONCLUSION

The political platform is gradually narrowing down to what I may call the ‘three sons of Noah’ that is to say, three generals representing the three geo-political and the three major ethnic tribes in the country; General Obasanjo in the west, General Buhari in the north and finally General Odumegwu-Ojukwu from the land of the rising sun, where it started and where it must start again – the east. This is thus the period when the pretenders shall be separated from the true warriors (this time around not the physical war but highly metaphysical). The story will not end with Odumegwu-Ojukwu just as it didn’t with Moses. “For this sets the stage for the manifestation of the Lord’s anointed at the fullness of time; the chosen leader (Joshua) of the tribe of Ephraim of the stock of the Ibos, for He and only He in the whole wide world has the Most High granted authority to speak today. He shall take the mantle as in the first case and lead the chosen people of Israel, far across the shores of Nigeria into the long awaited kingdom Of Elohim here on earth….” these words were seen from the metaphysical perspective and may be wrongly interpreted from our physical views.

LET THE HOLY KINGDOM OF BIAFRA BE ESTABLISHED.

NB: Just to let readers understand that the statement about Enugu state in my last article was my personal view and not the exact word of Akirika duku-duku please. In as much as it cannot be under-looked, I will like readers to differentiate the authors views from the words of the man.

Thanks
