Nonsokwa is a popular radio presenter in Imo State. He is my fellow comrade, brother and friend. I won’t and can’t deny him, especially, now that he is in a very big pit and shit. Nevertheless, I must make some clarifications on the current issue, as it concerns Nonsonkwa, Force Headquarters of the Nigeria Police and his allegations against His Excellency Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State.
Before I begin, let me State here that Sociopolitical Crusade remain the fulcrum through which Activism revolves. I am a notable Activist. A core one for that matter. I am very decisive, goal oriented, single-minded and very ruthl£ss in my Activism. My Aim and Objective have always been to produce results. I don’t look for public applause. I don’t play to the gallery. And I don’t make wild allegations against people. I always have my facts. However, when I make mistake, I try as much as possible to make amend.
I have confronted the law on many occasions. I have done things which, perhaps, nobody has imagined or attempted. However, I am a law abiding citizen. I respect constituted authority. I have also used my Activism to promote Good Governance and to rescue innocent members of the public, who are unjustly being maltr£ated. All these are verifiable.
Back to Nonsonkwa : Like I said earlier, he is my fellow comrade, brother and friend. Police Officers from Force Headquarters Abuja effected his arrest, based on allegations of threat to State security.
Not long ago, a video of Nonsokwa surfaced online, wherein he pointedly accused His Excellency Governor Hope Uzodimma and one Asari Dokubo of being responsible for the kill!ngs in Imo State. I watched that video. Honestly, I was aghast and dumfounded. I sent a memo to Nonsonkwa, drawing his attention to that video……. Hhhhhhhmmmmmm, for me, he crossed the Red line.
I personally don’t like Asari Dokubo. The Guy talks carelessly and disingenuously. But Hope Uzodimma is our Governor, our father and political leader of the State. A man who is genuinely doing his best for the state. Rather than appreciate his good works, Nonsokwa stepped out to accuse him of kill!ng Imo citizens. This is totally wrong, and should be condemned.
This is not the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth time Nonsokwa would be making wild allegations against Governor Hope Uzodimma, within the last 43 months. I have personally rescued him from trouble, on a number of occasions. In December 2021, Nonsokwa committed a crim£ bordering on State security in Imo State. The Department of State Security, DSS, Imo Command, invited him. He refused to honour the invitation. He was invited the second time, he turned it down. I know the terrain. I knew that the next available option would be to arrest Nonsonkwa with force. So I stepped into the matter. I called the Imo State Director Of DSS, Dr Wilcox and pledged to produce Nonsokwa. I also extracted the promise that if I produced him, he would be released back to me, same day. Let me at this point declare that Dr Wilcox is a humble, disciplined, God fearing, cool headed and very responsible , but decisive officer.
So I called Nonsokwa and practically forced him to follow me to DSS Owerri office. We sorted out all the grey areas, and Dr Wilcox kept his word and released Nonsonkwa back to me and we came back.
Unfortunately, Nonsonkwa continued to operate in a vacuum of his imagination, jumping from one accusation to another accusation, against the Imo State Government, without cogent facts. Infact, I had cause to do a rejoinder to one of his unsubstantiated allegations against Governor Hope Uzodimma.
Also, I have on a number of occasions reached out to my brother and friend, Nonsokwa, to always process what he says before saying them, so as not to fall into Wahala, like this one. I know we have freedom of speech, but must we talk ourselves into trouble? This is where *”PROCESSING OUR THOUGHTS COMES INTO PLAY”.*
Now that Nonsonkwa has accused His Excellency Governor Hope Uzodimma of conniving with Asari Dokubo to k!ll Imo Citizens, and he has been picked up by Force Headquarters Abuja, let him prove his allegation. Since the past three days, Nonsokwa was arrested , some little minds have been calling and further abusing Governor Hope Uzodimma, accusing him of deliberately trying to silence Nonsonkwa. This is not true. Rather, Governor Hope Uzodimma is the injured person. His subject, Nonsokwa, who has all along been stabbing him with knives, stepped up and stabbed him with a dagger, accusing him of murdering Imo citizens……….. Let me add here that if this matter goes to court and Nonsonkwa has no evidence of his allegation, he will be jailed 7years.
I am therefore calling on those calling for the release of Nonsokwa, and at the same time abusing the Governor, to thread carefully. The Governor is the injured person. He is the victim. He is the wounded person. Infact, the Imo State Government has been labelled a *Blo0d Suck!ng Government* by Nonsonkwa.. So Government wants to prove itself innocent of the allegation by reporting to the appropriate quarters to investigate. What supporters of Nonsonkwa should be doing now is to show remorse, and also, thread carefully.
It is not my wish that Nonsonkwa should go to prison, but his supposed supporters must thread carefully.
Ekwuchalam.
I Rest My Pen.
