My
attention has been drawn to a recorded speech made by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader
of IPOB, now streaming in the social media. The speech was ostensibly made in
Germany ahead of a visit, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu and I were scheduled to make to
Germany for a meeting of Ndigbo. In that video, Nnamdi peddled unprintable lies
about me and rebuked Igbos in Germany for inviting me and threatened that I
will not leave Germany alive. I would have ignored this speech as I have
ignored many of his previous abuses and deliberate falsehood previously
broadcast against me.

I had
ignored them in the past not only because the distortions and falsehood were
indirectly countered by the robust publicity of my activities and utterances
which negated his representations but also because I thought it was indecent
for a father and his son to be engaged in public disputations, especially when
such disputations in our present circumstances will weaken our solidarity and
portray us as a divided and unserious lot.
