Comrade Ernest Sokwue, the Director, Oshodi/Isolo in the former Lagos Atikulated Agenda 2019, and now Director, Unit2Unit Initiative, Oshodi/Isolo LCDA has debunked allegation being made by some of leaders of the Atikulated Agenda 2019 that the Hon. Victor David Enweruzo, the Coordinator, were extorting money from members.
Comrade Sokwue, who spoke to the
Unit2Unit Media Team in Lagos, said the allegation was not only unfortunate,
but false in its entirety.
He wondered why some misguided
elements should make such allegation against Hon. Enwuruzo, who he stressed,
had been on the streets day and night with his executive members, mobilising
people for the defunct Lagos Atikulated Agenda.
Sokwue maintained that Enweruzo,
had risked his life for the Atikulated Agenda, and inspired a multitude of
people to embrace the group in Lagos because of his desire to help enthrone
good governance under Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
presidential candidate.
He said: “We, who have been working
with Dr. Enweruzo, can never believe that credible Nigerians can lay such
allegation against such a man of God. Such a thing never happened.
“It was a strange story and it was
fraudulent. We cannot accept it because we know the man we are working with. We
know Dr. Enweruzo, who has been the driving force of what we have been doing,
“So, I see it as the hand of the
devil. They are distracters because they themselves are not real. They are just
finding ways to disperse the crowd that are following Enweruzo. Fortunately, we
cannot accept such allegation in modern Nigeria.”
Sokwue advised the coordinator to
see the allegation from the point of view of a clergyman, without paying evil
with evil, but to take it as a child of God.
He added: “That allegation, to many
of us, was intended to disorganise what we have achieved all these period.”
He said: “The members have taken a
position. The directors have taken a position. If we do not believe in our
coordinator, we would not have moved away with him from the collapsed Lagos
Atikulated Agenda 2019, to Unit2Unit Initiative.
“If he cannot be trusted, the
entire house, the entire 20 local governments and 37 LCDAs would not have moved
from Atikulated to Unit2Unit. That single movement is a very big statement that
this is a man that can be trusted, and we are looking forward to Nigerians like
him.”
Alhaja Jaiye Ola, Woman
Leader/Assistant Director, former the defunct Lagos Atikulated Agenda 2019 in
Ijaiye/Ojokoro LCDA, now Director, Unit2Unit Initiative for Ijaiye/Ojokoro,
said the allegation of extortion against the coordinator was false and quite
saddening.
She said: “The allegation of
extortion against our coordinator was a white lie. There was nothing like that.
Although I am a devoted Muslim and not a Christian, Enweruzo is my mentor.
“When I came to join the defunct
Lagos Atikulated Agenda, he was the one I saw. He motivated me. He worked day
and night, inaugurating chapters everywhere. He did not collect 10 kobo from
anyone, not even a sachet of pure water. No money was given to him.
For somebody to come out with this
kind of malicious allegation is so saddening.”
“During the discussion I had with
the former Director General, I see him as a scammer. He called me for almost
five different times and I had everything recorded. He is a liar. He did not
give a dime to the Lagos Atikulated Agenda 2019 through Enweruzo.
“On the day the DG visited Lagos
during the rally at the PDP Secretariat, I single handedly bought everything on
the high table with my money, including the bottled water, fruit juice and soft
drinks.
“Dr Enweruzo, our coordinator is a
transparent man. I have never seen someone as transparent as this man. He is
making me to have interest in some Christians.’
In conclusion, she urged the
members to stay firmly with Dr Enweruzo under the new platform, Unit2Unit
Initiative, in the popular move to enthrone Atiku Abubakar.
