Before now, the few Nsukka labourers and their sponsors, who are behind Bar. Chijioke Edeoga’s drowning governorship ambition did everything possible, including marooning, blackmailing and mudslinging Nsukka churches, thier leaderships and followers, especially the Catholic Diocese for having mere interactive sessions with the PDP governorship candidate, Bar. Peter Mbah and other PDP candidates.
In their usual social media propaganda and mischief, they had severally accused the Nsukka Catholic leadership of being compromised and bribed by the Enugu State PDP led government without any evidence. They have even harangued and castigated the Bishop of Nsukka Diocese on social media for cautioning their political excesses.
Operating under different guises, pen names and fake online media, they have fabricated and peddled all sorts of lies and falsehoods against the church denominations and their leaders. They had even issued several fake statements attributing them to the church leadership, all in a bid to see if they can pitch the churches against the PDP and its supporters in Enugu North Senatorial zone and by extension Enugu state in general.
They have dragged the churches in Nsukka and their leaders to the mud. Evidences of false publications against the churches and their leaders by these desperate Nsukka labourers are everywhere.
They nearly succeeded in blackmailing the Nsukka Catholic Diocese to submission when some priests of the Diocese such as Rev. Fr. Dennis Attah and Rev. Fr. Ben Agbo, the blood brother of Hon. Cosmos Agbo, erstwhile deputy chairman Nsukka LGA now a labourer played into their hands and started writing some unsolicited, insultive, malicious and divisive open letter to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, whipping up phantom Nsukka interest that has been the hallmark of the Nsukka labourers and their electioneering campaigns.
It is no longer in doubt that some of these Nsukka Catholic priests have become more political than politicians, hiding under the vague Obidient movement that they have not been able to separate from Nsukka labourers’ divisive and fraudulent tendencies, plans and activities.
They have easily forgotten that the labourers in Nsukka are bunch of desperados and
social media bandits whose only tool for campaign is blackmail and cheap propaganda hiding under Nsukka phantom interest.
These Nsukka labourers and their social media wolves are at it again.They are behind the recent social media fake news alleging that the PDP Deputy Governorship candidate, Bar. Ifeanyi Ossai threatened one Rev. Fr. Everistus Isife serving somewhere in Orba, Udenu LGA without telling the world what truly transpired.
For those who are not in the know, Rev. Fr. Isife is from Ukehe town in Igbo-Etiti LGA, the town of an ex-minister, who is behind the shaky governorship project of Edeoga, who is also a brother- in- law to his elder sister.
The ex-minister as seen in recent viral video campaigning for Edeoga in the night at Onyohor community in Igbo-Etiti LGA is the man behind all the vicious and malicious social media campaign of calumny and propagation of falsehoods against Bar. Mbah, Governor Ugwuanyi and other PDP candidates in Enugu.
It is not surprising that Rev. Fr. Isife was recently caught red handed and pant down playing a written script of the Nsukka labourers by using ballot paper in his Church to teach congregants how to vote for Labour Party in the forthcoming elections.
Before Rev. Fr. Isife’s macabre dance and political meddlesomeness that had put him on the spot, some misled Nsukka Catholic priests such as Rev. Fr. Donatus Ajibo, Rev. Fr. Mathew Ezea and few others have hidden under the non-governmental agency affiliated to Catholic Church called Justice Development and Peace Commission (JDPC) to play the script of the Nsukka labourers in the name of campaign debate and interactive sessi
