....Calls Them Faceless Jobbers, Describes The Online Publication As False, Malicious, Laughable

Following an attempt by faceless individuals and impersonators to cast aspersions on the person of Chief Kanayochukwu Okoye (Ichie Omekannia N'Okodu), CEO, Jukok Company Limited, using an unknown social media blog, a group under the aegis of Umuoji Patriotic Citizens (U.P.C), has come to the defence of their illustrious member and priceless asset.

According to the group, Jukok Construction Boss, Chief Kanayochukwu Okoye, Ichie Omekannia, remained the people's choice, even as they called those behind the hatchet job as faceless jobbers, describing the online publication as false, malicious, laughable<!--more-->

In a statement signed and made available to Newsmen by the Publicity Secretary of Umuoji Patriotic Citizens (U.P.C), Mr. Ikechukwu Onwuezobe (Iron gate) said the online publication was a calculated attempt by mischief makers and haters of Umuoji to tarnish the hard earned reputation of Chief Kanayo Okoye (Ichie Omekannia), urging the general public, especially indigenes of Umuoji both at home and in the diaspora to discountenance the infamous and mischievous report.

The statement read in part, 'Dear haters of Jukok boss, (Chief Kanayochukwu Okoye, Ichie Omekannia), it has come to the notice of the patriotic and common citizens of Umuoji that the people's' choice has become your headache and you now make him a trending topic on your daily activities and publications.

'Your envious and puerile publications about the Iroko of Umuoji, the people's choice and winner of the only recognized and endorsed Umuoji Dimechem Igweship election of May 8th 2021 by Central Executive Committee of Umuoji, and Umuoji Igwe/Regent in Council that was in line with great Umuoji Chieftancy constitution which was boldly written and generally accepted by the 23 villages that make up Umuoji Igwulube Okodu has been brought to our notice.

'Your publications in that amateur blog was also brought to our notice, ordinarily we would have ignored it because you are_ _FACELESS UMUOJI__ _Patriots and unknown but for the integrity of Umuoji Patriotic Citizens that was duly registered with C.A.C, we therefore warn the so called FACELESS Umuoji Patriots to show up and desist from their evil act or otherwise be unmasked and face legal battle with UMUOJI Patriotic Citizens as a registered association,_

_'We hereby denounce the knowledge of any group called UMUOJI Patriots and dissociate the Umuoji Patriotic Citizens from the FACELESS political detractors and warn that they let the great son of Umuoji (JUkOK Boss) be and allow peace to reign in Umuoji community.

'We are worried that _FACELESS beings can_ _hide under the name of Umuoji Patriots. Imagine the FACELESS Patriots parading a man whose belief lies in fetism, divination and oracle/consultation as the Umuoji people's choice?

'Umuoji as a great town is too big and mature to be cajoled into such state of quagmire by FACELESS beings. We followed our Chieftancy Constitution, conducted the Dimechem Igweship election and the people's choice emerged on 8th May 2021, in the person of Chief Kanayochukwu Okoye.

'All these childish and envious heart ache publications is nothing but jealousy and envy of wicked souls over the popularity of the Jukok Boss.

'It would be recalled that some members of Patriotic Citizens of UMUOji in conjunction with Regent of Umuoji as the traditional custodian authority of Umuoji and Umuoji people's choice (Jukok Boss) who happened to be the winner of Dimechem Igweship Election was petitioned in Awka Directorate of State Security Service (D.S.S.S) on 15th Feb 2022, after the hearing and prayers of the petitioner, the hunter became the hunted as it was ruled that people have the right to call their loved ones any tittle name of their desire and that no one can stop them.

'In conclusion, it's just the envy , jealousy and heartache of a loser and the acceptability and popularity of Chief Kanayochukwu Okoye, Ichie Omekannia as Igwe Elect of UMUOJI that provoked the destroyers and evil men in Umuoji to crop up. The unknown and Faceless so called Umuoji Patriots with their unnecessary envious publications.

'Chief Kanayochukwu Okoye life is not about being rich, being popular, _being educated and smart but it is about being real,_ being humble and kind, that's what gave him edge over others to became people's choice.

_'The Lame duck should pipe low, hide face and allow the choice and joy of the people of UMUOJI to be, Jukok Boss, Chief Kanayochukwu Okoye, Ichie Omekannia" the Iroko of UMUOJI is the choice of Umuojians, he emerged on the 8th of May 2021 as the Igwe Elect of UMUOJI , with total vote counts of 473 over Chief Simeon Muogbo who pulled total votes of 459 and Chief Obi Steve Onwuachu with 359 votes.

'On Umuoji Dimechem Igweship Election of 8th May 2021 that is in line with our great chieftancy constitution in section 9.5, Umuoji people stand.

_'Just for the avoidance of doubt, there was never an election or re-run on 8th June of 2021 but a joke and charade of selection because Chief Kanayochukwu Okoye and his village people never participated, it was obvious even to the doubting Thomases that the posted result sheet by FACELESS Umuoji Patriots was not signed by the Secretary_ of _Electoral Committee and Technical Adviser. One should ask why?', the statement read.
