BATTLE FOR UMULU VILLAGE LEADERSHIP WORSENS AS UGOCHUKWU UCHEGBU'S FACTION SUSPENDS 13 MEMBERS OF RIVAL FACTION

 



The Ugochukwu Uchegbu led faction of Umulu Village Union  has announced the suspension of  13 members and loyalists of  rival factional Union in Umulu, in what look like a case of  vendetta.

The suspension was contained in a letter signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Union, Messrs Ugochukwu Uchegbu and Nchekwube Shedrack, which was addressed to the Chairman of OEAU Home conference and copied Chief Anthony Ukasanya, Charles Ekwueme, Chairman Ogamibe Union and Umuta village Union.

Those affected members included,  lsreal Johnson, Ifeayi Onyeocha, ikechi Rufus, Uchechi Samboy Orji, kelechi Orji, Dominic Orji, Nnamdi Ezeribe, St.Patrick Ezeribe, Chief Luke Ezeribe, Obioma Mmeribe, Chidozie Adele,   Chikwe Onyeocha and Okechukwu Shedrack.



 The letter dated 21st July, 2021 and tittled Notice of Suspension, stated that they were suspended for alleged offences ranging from conspiracy, insurgency, sabotage and installing  Dominic Orji as Ulu 11 when Ulu 1 was still alive 

The statement also barred them from constituing themselves into a parallel authority and from holding meetings in the name of Umulu Village either for burials or otherwise.

They equally called on Home Conference Chairman  not  to allow them to represent Umulu Village in Umuosu in this regard 

It is important to state that there are two factions of Umulu Village Union. one led by lsreal Johnson and the other  by Ugochukwu Uchegbu, each claiming to be the recognised leadership of Umulu village 

Following the suspension of  HRH by Abia State Government and the recognision accorded individuals and groups that are opposed to the suspended HRH  by the powers that be in Umuosu, the Ugochukwu's faction have been parading themselves as the numero uno in Umulu village

Sources from Umulu however confided in Ubscope News that they have not been receiving the needed  cooperation from Umulu citizens, home and abroad which might be the reason that prompted them to take this action.

They cited the case of Herbert Uchegbu, who came from abroad and whom they had approached for financial aid  to roof the Umulu hall, but he turned them back and did the roofing of the hall without involving them. Also when Okechukwu Orji"s wife, late Mrs Chidinma Orji was buried on 3rd September, 2021, isreal Johnson and his group were present and in charge. 

Another pointer that they do not enjoy the support of the generality of Umulu people was the meeting called  by the Umulu youth on 8th September, 2021, in which large number of Umulu people, including the  suspended members attended but Ugochukwu and his group stayed away. Going by those that attended and those that stayed away, it is needless to state where the pendlum swing.

Meanwhile those suspended had dismissed the purported suspension  saying it was a desperate action from those seeking for relevance and recognision, when it is obvious that they are not enjoying the support and confidence of the people They also frowned at being labelled as insurgents, consequently, they are consulting their lawyers for libel lawsuit against Ugochukwu and his group.
