A Chieftain of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP in Etche Local government area, Chief Emma Anyanwu has
disowned his first son, Charles Anyawu for allegedly leading a military raid on
his home and community in Ulakwo.
Chief Anyanwu at a media
briefing in his home town of Etche accused the Minister of Transport, Rotimi
Amaechi for ‘misleading’ his son.
Charled Anyanwu has been
estranged with his father. He was appointed a Special Adviser to former
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi. After the founding of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Charles abandoned his father in the PDP to join Amaechi in the APC.
Amaechi also appointed Charles
as the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Etche Local government area after which
he was arrested along with 5 others for illegal possession of fire arms where
they were arraigned at the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt.
However, The PDP Chieftain,
Emma Anyanwu who is also a veteran journalist said, “I want to re-emphasize
that Charles is no longer my son. He led the military into my house. But that
is not even the case. He led the military to pull down the Ulakwo town hall
which I owe my allegiance. He has been disowned for his behaviour. For destroying
the town hall, he remains disowned. He doesn’t possess the qualities of the
Anyanwu family. He has been stripped of all his rights,” he said.
