A Concerned Ebonyi Indigenous Group in Diaspora (EIGD) led by a United Kingdom based Ebonyi-born Business Mogul, Azubike Daniel popularly known as Zubitech Global has petitioned the Ebonyi State government under the leadership of Francis Nwifuru to rename some streets in Abakaliki, the capital city of the state bearing Anambra related names.
This outburst is coming after the Anambra state government recently renamed a major street in Anambra State formerly known as ‘Abakaliki street’ to ‘Club street’.
Anambra State government in defense stated that the renaming was necessary after the street massively developed over the years and currently houses different club houses, hotels and other recreational centres.
Meanwhile, the Indigenous Ebonyi group led by the Business Mogul, Zubitech Global has petitioned the Ebonyi state government insisting on them to immediately rename streets it named after Anambra state including;
- Awka Street
- Onitsha Street
- Abangana Street
- Aniekwena Street
- Oraifite Street
- Umuoji Street
- Odinukwe Street
- Nsugbe Street
- Afoezuna Street
- Awkuzu Street
- Nteje Street
- Abatete Street
- Nnobi Street
- Emeofo Street
- Udemezue Street
- Obiri Street
- Umuchu Street
- Aniekwe Street, etc.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the group’s chairman, Zubitech Global said what’s is good for the goose is also good for the gander.
The business Mogul also recounted how the people of Anambra state have continually underrated and hated them from time immemorial.
Zubitech Global had to recount the killing of no fewer than 13 Ebonyi Indigenes in Anambra State less than 2 months ago.
According to him, “Anambra indigenes have always had the idea that they are superior to Ebonyi Indigenes inculcated in them from little.”
