ENYINNA ONUEGBU CLARIFIES ON THE GUANDONG LAND MATTER
My attention has been drawn to a misleading publication from a person who goes by the sobriquet “ISI PA MBA” and I am making this response as a son of Eziama. I am not aware of any Eziama son yet conferred with that title and as the Traditional Prime Minister of Eziama Anscient Kingdom, I must know.
The publication is as misleading and as false in every way imaginable. The Land is not a new acquisition of Imo State Government in that, same was acquired wholly under the administration of H.E Achike Udenwa.
The land owning-communities of Eziama, Ntu, Amala and Alatia were represented by a committee of Stakeholders led by Chief Gordy Onyebuenyi (Opara / Mayor Ngor Okpala LGA) as Chairman and Dr Dan Onwukwe as Secretary.
The entire area acquired was surveyed and its records are available in Ministry of Lands, Imo State. That, if the fact of this subsisting acquisition is not true or known to all natives, how come till date no person has erected any permanent structure on any part of the vast land in any of the hitherto land owning-villages.
The fact of Zion Ministry’s involvement is that some smart natives attempted to hoodwink the clergyman into a purported purchase transaction over part of this land and his further enquiry gave them out as attempting to sell Government land to him and he advisedly backed out of the unwholesome deal.
As a follow up, the State Government directed the Surveyor General’s office to reascertain the dimensions of the entire land to check encroachments.
This is what is ongoing presently and deliberate efforts have been made by me to interface with the Traditional Rulers, Youths and certain elders of the communities on this. The State Government shall also carry along the affected persons in any scheme over the land.
Finally, the Government reserves the right under the land use act to designate the land for any public use, even under PPP arrangement.
If a Hospital, Schools, Cottage industries, Roads, Electricity concerns are thereby set up, these will all be for public purposes. It does not matter who the promoters or initial investors are and we all agree that our area requires urgent developmental projects to meet up the needs of our growing population in all sectors of human development indices.
Let us stop the abusive name calling please.
Signed:
Chief Barr. Enyinna Onuegbu KSC
