#Says attacks against him is malicious
The Ibeku Concerned Citizens have described the attack on Prince Benjamin B. Apugo; member, National Board of Trustees (BoT) and National Caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by a group they alleged to be parading themselves as sons of Ibekuland as malicious.
In statement signed byI IkechukwuAmakwe and Kingsley Ogbonna as Chairman and secretary the group stated that they were responding to the attacks on a progressive and distinguished son of Ibekuland land because keeping quiet would amount to acceptance of the mischievous statement credited to the "so called sons of Ibekuland".
The statement read in part,
"We make bold to make public that the unwarranted attack was spearheaded and endorsed by charlatans who cannot find their feet and be numbered among Ibeku sons because they are all roundly, misfits in their different categories.
"As against the allegations that Prince Apugo is incapable of holding any public office and is oppressive to the poor, we want to state that he is known to have reached out favourably to members of the larger Ibeku communities and has left remarkable marks on the sands of time in both infrastructural development and others.
"The recent sharing of palliatives to the indigents and underprivileged in the land to cushion the adverse effects of Covid 19, speaks volumes of his magnanimity towards his people as well as his good heart to their yearnings at all times.
"Those who endorsed the said document are indeed, very myopic and are just angry that the people have woke up from their slumber. What they are looking for now is the next method they will use to deceive us in 2023. They are finding it difficult and that is why they are kicking.
"They are just using the name of Ibeku to enrich themselves but this time around, we make bold to alert them that their antics won't work again as Ibeku people are fully awake and cannot be misled any longer.
"They, all in one have no ancestral background in Ibekuland and therefore, are irrelevant and cannot discuss nor even defend Ibeku people, as it were.
"The public is therefore, asked to ignore them and their uncoordinated rantings as we have full confidence in the BoT member of the ruling APC; and our own, Prince BB Apugo, as well as other well meaning sons and daughters of this great land".
