“Bianca is neither a trustee member nor a Director of OTL and it is good to note that OTL is a different property from the things the late Ikemba Ojukwu had and the directorship cannot be transferred through a Will.”
A Director of Ojukwu Transport Company Limited, Mr. Ifeukwu Ojukwu, has said that since OTL was owned by the late Sir Louis Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the late Biafran warlord could not dictate who the trustees or directors of the company should be.
Ojukwu, who was the Ikemba of Nnewi, had directed, in his Will, that Bianca, should replace him as a trustee of OTL.
The clarification by Ifeukwu, who is based in Boston, United States, came as counsel for the late Ikemba, Chief Emeka Onyemelukwe, insisted that the Will read last Friday at the Enugu State High Court Registrar was authentic and sacrosanct.
Onyemelukwe, who was reacting to a claim by Emeka Ojukwu Jnr. that the Will was manipulated, said the Will was registered in the Enugu High Court on July 9, 2005, while the codicil, which was to give details and correct any mistakes in the Will, was dated December 16, 2009.
Onyemelukwe, who tendered documents at a press conference in Enugu to back his argument, stated that he had been close to the late Ojukwu since his return from exile in Cote d’Ivoire in 1982.
He said all Ojukwu’s legal papers were still with him, including those of properties and chattels willed to Emeka Jnr, who claimed he did not know him as his father’s lawyer or friend.
Meanwhile, Ojukwu Jnr. has threatened to contest the contents of the Will in court.

Hope this people wont destroy their family wit greed and love for money
ReplyDeleteLet the soul of man rest perfectly, u people should try harder & make their own wealth thro their own sweat, both perties are very shameless, adewusi
ReplyDeleteI thought Ojukwe was smart. What a lot of people see as controversy is not nothing, but a mere wave of the hand. As far as am concerned the former warlord turn politician and later elder statesman did the right thing. You could take it differently but let’s look at the facts.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have details about the late Biafran leader Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s relationship with his creator before he left the face of the earth, but there are certain things he did in that Will, that I found to be in line with God's standard for wealth. The bible says a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children and not his children. That is what the man did. Such inheritance and estate are meant for the disadvantaged in the society and women and children are in these categories. God new by the time a man gets over sixty his children would have been responsible enough to have their own wealth. What would a son of a sixty year old man be doing waiting for his father' Will or struggling with women and grand children to get remnants. I think it is a shame for a grown up man to find himself in such shoes. Now, I am not saying all these because Bianca’s father was my former HOD in the University of Port Harcourt. No, wealth and riches has principles and anyone that breaks it will leave in poverty.
The day you crossed eighteen you are responsible for your own financial future. I love what our man of God Pastor Chris said "if you are above eighteen and staying with somebody and you are given a meal or two in the house, reject the third one, start taking responsibility for the third one”. That is how you grow to become a man who will not border about an old man’s Will, when you are suppose to generate enough wealth even add to what your father will share for others.
Most rich folks out there destroy the futures of their children, when the refuse to push them into responsibility at an early age because they have all the cash. It is on record that, Abiola’s son Kola was already rich when the father was alive, he never bordered about the father's will, but the rest of the children who struggled with those rich where are the riches today, they have gathered wings and flew away. Your financial future is your responsibility, the earlier you start the better for you.
