The Chairman Board of Trustees of APGA, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka has called on Igbos across the country not to harken to the calls from other Nigerians to join the anti—Tinubu protests over the increasing hardship in the land.

Ezeonwuka, popularly known as Rojenny, after his famous Rojenny International Stadium and Games Village, Oba in Anambra State, spoke with journalists in an interview on Tuesday.

He said it is a trap to lure Igbos into the protests, and label them haters of the president.

Ezeonwuka who also the chairman of Ranent Industries Nigeria Ltd and equally known as ‘Ogilisi Igbo’ equally stated that Ndi Igbo have suffered alone for too long, and other Nigerians should let them be, and face their own challenges alone.

He equally pointed out that if the hatred against Igbos is jettisoned and they are allowed to contribute to the nation’s development, Nigeria would experience the kind of revolutionary development never seen anywhere in the world. His words:

“Ndi Igbo have been suffering all along. Since the end of the war, Igbos have never benefited anything in Nigeria as proof that a war ended, and we remain one Nigeria. They have been suffering.

Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani look at Igbos with disdain, but the Igbo is very generous. They are the true Nigerians. There is no nook and cranny of the South west or the North that they have not penetrated to develop this country, but the envy is overwhelming.

You want Igbos to join and protest? Igbo people suffered for three years, no one assisted them. The whole world united against them-Britain, Egypt, United States, Russia, to kill off all of them, but the Igbos refused to die off. Then their wealth were all seized, so that they can remain poor forever, but they refused and began to rise from emptiness. Today, Igbos are everywhere, and have began once again to control finances unimaginable for a people that were abandoned to perish.

So the Igbos joining any protest is uncalled for because they have done theirs. They have been suffering.

After the war, no victor, no vanquished was proclaimed. But no arrangement was made to reconcile them with the rest of Nigeria, but were left to be mocked and laughed at. But they refused and rose from the ashes of shame.

Do you know how many Igbos are being killed? When #EndSARS came, it was termed Igbo agenda and Igbos were killed.

When Peter Obi emerged with #Obidient movement, they called it Igbo agenda.

Obidient Movement was the revolution that could have changed Nigeria leadership, and we would have moved forward from consumption to production, but they termed it an Igbo affair, and worked against Peter Obi.

All Nigeria youths were involved in the #EndSARS, but they turned it an Igbo agenda. The North and South West that are talking now, once Igbos join, they will term it Igbo agenda and Igbos in Lagos and other places will suffer for it. You are calling for Igbo to join, so that you can call it Igbo thing? So let them do their own, we have done our own. Even now that Igbo won’t join, they will still find a way and say it is Igbo and persecute us. That is our major problem, hatred for the Igbos. It should be withdrawn so that Igbo may contribute to the growth of this country.

Only Igbo can transform Nigeria, take it or leave it. No other tribe has that capacity, only Igbo. It is a gift, the different gifts have been shared to different tribes, but transformstion is Igbo gift. Can’t you see it when they enter your village to trade?
Productiviry, Labour, hardworking, creativity, transformation, it is Igbo. So let them allow Igbo to thrive in their commerce. Then governance, what have they achieved in governance? Try Igbo and see the transformation and revolution that will follow”, he concluded.
