Sen. Orji Uzor Spoke the Mind of Honest Southeast Geopolitical Zone – Business Mogul, Sunny Ezeh.
Barely hours after the he former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu appeared on Channels Television, for interview on politics today, a business Mogul from the south east region, Sunny Ezeh has stated that Kalu has raised the question of the victims of the unrest in the southeast.
reacting to the intervie, the business Mogul said ”after Kalu appeared on Channels Tv program, Politics Today, many people have had reason to rekindle their lost hope as a sign of relief because they have found a leader in Kalu who spoke the truth without fear or favour.
According to Ezeh, this is what most people from southeast geopolitical zone have been shouting for years; describing Kalu as a lone voice in the wilderness, in a society whose collective conscience has been seared with hot iron.
He said “Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK) simply said what every honest Igbo person already knows in their heart but is too afraid, too sentimental, or too politically correct to admit publicly. While others are busy dancing around the truth, hiding behind tribe, emotion, or political ambition, he asked the only question that truly matters:
while raising question on who speaks for the victims before now, Ezeh said for years, some of us have been warning that you cannot build a moral argument around selective justice. You cannot demand fairness for Nnamdi Kanu while ignoring the thousands who were butchered in cold blood because of the violent machinery Kanu created and sustained. You cannot cry for one man while communities he helped plunge into terror are still burying their dead in silence.
”But our people preferred sweet lies to bitter truth. They preferred propaganda to reality. They preferred ethnic solidarity to moral clarity. Today, one man; OUK; has finally pierced through that fog of mass delusion.
Ezeh pointed out that Kalu has reminded people from South East that before politics, before sentiments, before agitation, there were lives; real human beings whose blood watered the soil of Igbo land. He lamented that businessmen, students , soldiers, mothers, mathers, children as well as the entire communities have been living under fear, fleeing their ancestral homes, burying loved ones like animals, all because a demagogue turned the land into a playground of terror.
he said “But instead of grief, too many found excuses. Instead of outrage, they found justification. Instead of truth, they clung to lies. Now that someone with a public profile has had the courage to say what we have been saying, the contrast is clear. This is leadership; not the cowardly silence of those who watched their people die and said nothing, or the hypocrisy of politicians who romanticized a bloody agitation for votes.
“If Nnamdi Kanu deserves justice, so do his victims. And until both are acknowledged, we are only fooling ourselves.
“Orji Uzor Kalu spoke with courage. He spoke with conscience. He spoke with the weight of truth and for the first time, it feels like someone finally echoed the cry of the forgotten”.
