WITHDRAWAL FROM BUREAU POLITICK: A CALL FOR POLITICAL LIBERATION IN AKU.

Image
I, Engr. Nsude Martins Chinekwu from Amabokwu, AKu Ward 1, hereby announce my withdrawal from the Bureau Politick, a political pressure group founded by Rt. Hon. Dr. Martins Oke. The group's deviated mission, which has become a divisive force, sowing discord among brothers, sisters, and even church members, has compelled me to speak out. Their pursuit of political power has morphed into a tyrannical grip on AKu, stifling dissenting voices and terrorizing those who dare to oppose them. The behavior of Rt. Hon. Martins Oke's foot soldiers towards myself and other members, particularly when relating with brothers who don't believe in Bureau Politick, is a testament to their true nature. One notable example is Hon. Ikechukwu Ugweworo, who has been a persistent thorn in my flesh for the past seven months. His reasoning? My harmonious relationship with my leaders, Hon. Chief Ogbonna Nnabuchi Idike (Ebubedike 1 na Igbo Etiti Local Government Area) and Hon. Engr. Williams Amuka, me...
