From UPP National Convention, Awka
The crowd here is unprecedented, various traditional dancers on ground to entertain, it’s more like a festival of arts going on.
Osita Chidoka address was electrifying but right from the gate to the address Hon. Chudi Offodile the Awulu of Awka stole the lighting of thunder from other candidates. As Osita was busy pronouncing PDP instead of UPP, Hon. Offodile promised to run with the Biafran ideology.
That sets the hall roaring. He was bold to identify with the Biafran agitators and said they are on the right path. He said going by events that happened in the past and how APGA used Ojukwu and Biafra name to get into government house only to abandon them, that their call for election boycott wasn’t totally out of place.
Shouts of Biafra! Biafra!! Biafra!!! took over the hall, the Commander Band started signing one of those emotional songs sang during the Biafran war, tears started rolling down my eyes as the whole hall became electrifying to an extend that the old women present started trooping into stage to huge. Out of the seven other candidates, it was like the result is out already as they too stepped out to huge Awulu of Awka Hon. Offodile.
Indeed, every reasonable Igbo person loves Biafra, the emotion I witnessed was being description.
God please give us Biafra
