The renowned African American Rights Activist,Martin Luther King Jr. once said ,“an individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
I want to make bold to say that,but for the 2023 Enugu State gubernatorial election slated for March ,the new “identity seekers”,by the name Lucky Chukwu would have maintained his low political profile, probably “belle-arching” over his truncated tenure as a Commissioner during Chimaroke Nnamani administration.
He wouldn’t have assumed his new role of determining and defining the “Core Nkanu”, “Fringe Nkanu”, “Original Nkanu” and “Fake Nkanu”.
The viral video where he referred to the Enugu PDP Gubernatorial Candidate,Bar Peter Mbah as not a “Core Nkanu” man speaks of extreme desperation, politics of bitterness borne out of deficit in morality and an attempt to recreate the Nkanu History to favour his pay master,who must have hired him for a peanut, which is his worth.
The basic facts here,which should be made clear to these new identity seeker and makers are:
(I) That Bar Peter Mbah,the PDP Guber Candidate, which he referred to as an Ezza man is a bonafide Nkanu man,not less than himself,ifthe only qualifications needed to occupy the Enugu State Government House is mere being identified as an Nkanu man.
(ii)That the Enugu State Governorship Election is not an Nkanu Election, as Enugu State belongs to everybody, including non indigene who live and pay taxes in Enugu State
(III) That Lucky Chukwu and Cohorts should use the energy they are dissipating to discredit,Bar Peter Mbah, the most credible, capable and qualified candidate for the Enugu State governorship election to campaign for his brother,Oyibo Chukwu,who is running for Enugu East Senatorial position on the platform of the Labour Party and Mr Chijoke Edeoga who is also to contest (?) the Enugu Governorship Election on the platform of Labour Party
(Iv) That Enugu People are wiser and will not buy into their cheap blackmail arranged to deceive gullible electorate ahead of the coming election.
Finally,I want to state that Lucky Chukwu and his ñew “Core Nkanu” race are not more
human than the Ezza People ,he was referring to,as an American Novelist,Toni Morrison, once said,”there is no such thing as race. None. There is just a human race — scientifically, anthropological.”
