| Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu |
There appears to be tension among members of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu
family who may be setting for a showdown over the sharing formula of the
ex-Biafran warlord’s property.
It was gathered that a prominent member of the Ojukwu family, who did not
want his name in print, said, “About two weeks after the burial of
Ezeigbo Gburugburu, family members are already forming groups against
one another on how they can benefit from the property he (Ojukwu) left
behind.
“This is very disturbing because it has led to
accusations and counter-accusations and then the hatred that was already
in the family is even getting worse by the day.
“Some of them felt that they were left out of the
burial plans while the others ran the show with the aim of being close
to the President and ensure that they benefit from the seat of power
after the burial.”
The the eldest son of the deceased said that the problem in the family before the
death of his father had to do with the large estate his grandfather left
behind.
He had alleged, “There have been litigation over the
estate my grandfather left behind and other members of my family felt
they were going to use the litigation to blackmail me.
“That is why when they (family members) wanted to see
President Goodluck Jonathan over the burial plans, they decided to be
hostile towards me and ensured that I was not part of the team that
visited the President.
“Due to my nature, I decided not to allow the
hostility impede the burial activities of my father, a man I still
respect so much even in death.”
