However, NNU leaders were advised to look into the area of discrimination and careless talk against some sons. The sponsor of this bill Barr George Uti said during the campaign that ushered in the current Exco some aspirants embarked on campaign of calumny against one of the top contenders in a particular office. They carried out a campaign that he was not an Ukwuani man by virtue of the fact that his mother alone is from Ukwuani.
The meeting frowned at the non-challant attitude of the political office holders of Ndokwa extraction, stressing that they were supposed to be in the meeting. “It is not going to be business as usual for them except they have a change of attitude”.
