“Instead of encouraging this great monarch, some of us Igbos want to rubbish him. That cannot happen. These enemies within will soon be ostracized as no true Igbo man behaves like crabs. I am happy Eze Ilomuanya is no push over either and he keeps winning them," Uwazuruike said.
Speaking at the event, Ilomuanya advised Igbos to love themselves and shun the tendency to pull down their brothers. “I have forgiven my detractors but I urge them to repent and turn a new leaf.
“Since 2011 till date, I have been attacked, abused and harassed, but in all these, God has been my Ebenezer. I have been subjected to state government-sponsored campaigns of calumny but they have all equally failed. I, therefore, have every reason to thank God for His benevolence unto me."
